HEY HO.. HEY HO.. IT'S OFF TO WORK SHE WENT

Yes, Dear Readers.. 

SHE.. aka couch potato.. finally went to do some work at the garden today, especially to do winter pruning of OUR seed fruit tress - fruit has seeds or stones and YOU prune them completely differently. Apples and Pears are seed fruit.

So out with the knife sharpener and a quick flash over the secaturs and then off SHE went. Via the £1.00 store in Hammersmith for fat balls for the garden birds.

VERY muddy out there.. BUT a wonderful surprise awaited HER! 

Someone has taken the BIG pile of rubbish of broken pots and ALL the autumns clippings! All that is left are a few pieces of vine clippings.. This saves HER a huge amount of work getting them all to the local council dump, WE wonder WHO could have done it? Whoever it was, SHE is incredibly grateful to them, such a nice thing to have done. 

And little Shed was ok, no vandals had broken in, all was as it should be.. there was even a couple of Narcissi leaves poking through.. SHE told them not to be too keen to show off.. winter is nowhere finished yet!

But no one else was there.. not a sign of Jack or Robert, two of HER allotment buddies, garden was snug and quiet under the thick layers of compost and manure SHE laid in October and November but one silly Sonesta Plum tree is still in full leaf! How mad is that?

WE are expecting FROSTY Tiger weather to arrive any day now, certainly it was chillier today than of late, BUT at home, WE are very snug, with lots of insulation still in place, I keep warm by standing on HER head whenever possible.. and when WE go into the bedroom, SHE has three hot water bottles in bed, a large one at HER feet and two mini ones, one behind HER back and one on HER tummy.. MY feet are baking as HER head is SO warm!

Tomorrow SHE is joining a Crochet and Knitting Class.. I will report back to tell YOU how it went!

But before I go.. WE are extremely saddened to realise that a couple of HER dear Friends did not get the email SHE sent when SHE got the latest "ALL CLEAR" on Monday afternoon, that very norty Blackberry mobile let HER down.. I will have to speak very sharply to it and remind him that his contract is up in a couple of months time and he 'could' find himself being replaced..

GeeGee Parrot.
