Afternoon everyone

Rant away Brit, think Molly is right, drugs can have terrible side effects. Can relate regarding having work done outside. Because himself used to travel so much I did a lot of it as I went along but felt under pressure a few weeks ago when daughter wanted everything done by next weekend for this bbq. Decided I’m getting too old. Got someone in to do the patio cleaning and another fella to do the flower beds. Three men and three full days work. I can now do the nice bits, bedding plants etc
Life is too short. £1,500 is steep JC, bet you can put it to better use. Hope you enjoyed craft club.

Spent the morning shopping for cottage and this bbq. Very tempted to go mad but will wait until it’s renovated, just the basics for now.

Evening...very sensible Rusters...I have unleashed a bit of a shopping addiction in myself...used to be clothes when first sober then got fed up of clothes...now it's house and garden....get excited about buying potting compost

[IamMary]

I am inbetween both, still like my clothes but as the years go by, gravitating to garden centres and DIY shops. I could spend hours browsing screwfix. Wouldn't know how to install half the stuff but I like knowing about them.
@brit, agree with everything said here, so normal every set of emotions your going through, no need for any apologies, good that you and come here and virtually scream. But the best bit is that booze isn't entering the equation

Wonder if Satz is still planning to travel tomorrow?

Army boast: we have a skip for 7 days.

Morning,
I now have skip envy.

And would you believe its compost and some bedding plants buying this weekend. Mr JC will be like a pig in muck. I got an egg outdoor chair for my birthday so I can sit in that and order Mr. JC where I want stuff planted.

I wonder if Mikey will eat bees again this year even though he was lectured not to last year.

Morning everyone

I have serious skip envy Mary, need one badly down west but absolutely no way we would get one near the cottage at the moment so may have to do trip to dump, have to figure that out.

Need to buy bedding plants too for here so it’s all go. Heading west in morning so have to pack the car now.

[mollyka]

I too am DREAMING of a skip! Not for down here...to prevent the stuff that should be in a skip from ever getting here....!!!

Had a lovely day today...went to the beach...absolutely glorious...very windy tho so we literally had the place to ourselves...then had the best lunch at the foot of Croagh Patrick...it's just all so majestic and pretty..I'm blown away...been here numerous times but as a tourist...it just feels different....so tired tho..hope all well and Mary still revelling in her skip

[mollyka]

Oh and my big boast;-) we've planted peas onions scallions strawberries and tomatoes..oh and a great big herb box...and lettuce..more to come...the Good Life would have nathin on us

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

Evening ladies, not got skip envy but the Good life sounds right up my street Molly.
Did I see someone recommended The Virtues here? Just watched the first episode, powerful stuff. Spoiler alert: Stephen Graham is a great actor, I have to say the scene when he went off the rails and got slaughter and then waking up in a pile of vomit with cuts and bruises were so realistic on bang on the money it sent shivers down my spine. And the next morning when he was sitting with the bottle of cider and then dumped it, well I was living the moment, only difference is I wouldn’t have dumped it anywhere other than down my neck. So grateful right now to have escaped that madness.
Nite all.

[IamMary]

Still skippidy doo da here.
Guys, your new gaffs sound like heaven. @Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB) where are you streaming that from or is it on channel 4? Looks v v good.

[mollyka]

Morning...must give that a go Tabbers...well when I manage to get more than 4 stations on the tele....it's grand at the moment but will be glad to get Sky installed both for Tele and broadband for darker evenings! Sometimes lately it worries me a wee bit that I no longer feel the shivers when I see or hear was stories re. alcohol abuse...I can look at it objectively..and of course feel sympathy..but it's like I've disassociated myself with it...not sure that's a good thing.

Guessing Benjy may have got off to Munich...I hope so...definitely sounds like needing de-stressing.
Beautiful morning here so going to potter in garden and then going for a walk up round Moore Hall...I know Rusters knows it well...and who knows may come back and venture a wee swim at the pier...hmmmm
