BIG DAY TODAY.. SEVENTH OF THE SEVENTH.. IT IS HER BIRTHDAY!

Yes folks.. aka Dear Readers.. it is HER birthday! 

First SHE has to collect OUR Goaty supplies from Goaty Mum aka Debbie, then WE are heading for the hills.. to the garden.. to lounge like lizards in the sun or sit in OUR paddling pool if it gets too hot! 

WE will join garden friends for a lovely day. Eat scrummydumptious food and drink delicious drinks, made with home grown Mint, oh, heavens to Betsy, I lurve mint in MY water. 

I apologise for not posting Posts on MY blog for over a week.. much to do, SHE has been coming home late, SHE has a couple of elderly friends who are very 'poorly' so SHE has been making sure that they eat, are clean and spending time with them. 

And there is much to do at the allotment / garden. But interestingly, the home growing tomatoes are way ahead of those norty allotment tomatoes! 

WE lurve Cherry Tommies for they are just like sweeties, especially the Yellow Tumbling Toms! There are two of these plants in cone shaped baskets hanging from a window frame, little fruits are bursting out from the flowers and soon it will be 'pick-your-own-day'!

Oh yippee.. yellow toms and eggs to break that norty fast. And in the deep pots are their more serious cousins, the 'Beafy' Boys, who are four foot high and climbing! 

Next week is Currant picking week, the Black and White varieties are ripe, protected from Mister Pigeon, aka flying thief, by their drawstring fleece bags, which have been a great success! The red ones need a little longer, they are red but WE like them really ripe! 

But the stars in the fruit department this year are going to be Gooseberry and Blackberry! Old Gooseberry take a couple of years to get going and this is the first year that the crop is a bumper one. 

And wow.. there is such a lot of fruit coming through on Blackberry, the canes are covered in flower and luckily as they are a very early fruiting variety, WE have no trouble with old fat pigeon as he is too busy eating something else! 

But now.. it is 'get-up' time.. shake MY tail time, there are several trays of delicious things in the sitting room to which SHE has to attend.. much to do.. so WE bid YOU adieu. 

And as it is the last day of Wimbledon today.. WE say.. "Let the best man win". 

But before WE go.. I want YOU to sing.. yes, come long now.. it doesn't matter if YOU can't sing as no-one will hear YOU.  

"Happy Birthday to YOU, happy birthday to YOU, happy birthday dear HER, happy birthday to YOU". 

Don't forget mine on July 29th.. that's it, I am out of here and into YumYum HQ..

GeeGee Parrot.
July 7th, 2013.. aka HER birthday!
