Weekly Chat, Sunday, January 16, 2011

Morning all:  Long day at the rose garden - poor Robert who supervises the volunteers has been fighting off a bug and a couple of us stayed on longer than usual to help him clean up stuff.  I'm sure I'll be stiff tomorrow. Not as many folks showed up as last year and some of the beds were pruned by city employees which means we'll have to go over those beds again since they did a fairly perfunctory job.

Watching Mad Men (Netflix rental video of first season).  Great viewing when you're too tired to think. Take care all and have a nice Sunday.

  • Good day everyone, just catching up again, I really must remember to post everyday. Great photos of  Phoebe and all the other pics, too numerous to mention. Big thankyou to all who posted them.  March will be here in no time!

  • Good mroning ALICAT thanks for the link showing how small a humming bird nest is.  I knew they were small but had not realised how small.  Makes you realise too how small Phoebe actually is.

  • Godo morning original goldfinch and it is very cold here at present.  Really hard frost again.  Weather very strange after all the rain we had with mild temperatures and now back to winter with a vengeance.  

     

    Not looking forward to reading about Deshar's flight, don't think I will ever forget that, I cried buckets over him.

  • Good Morning All. Sunny intervals here after some early rain. I have lost one post last night and another long one this morning. I must remember to save them before posting. As I pressed post, I was told that IE could not display the page. Just watched Andy Murray win his match in Melbourne.

    Thanks for all your posts and I wiil look in later, after I do some HW.

  • Good morning patriciat I will be at LG from 11 - 18 June and it would be really nice if we could meet up while I am there.  I am so looking forward to it and keep looking at the letter confirming I will be going just to make sure I wasn't dreaming.  OH is going to book my flight this weekend now I have told him what my luggage needs are as you have to pay for it in advance.

  • original goldfinch forgot to say my sister has 2 hospital appointments today but will not ring tonight as I think she will be exhausted.  My other sister is going to phone tomorrow and then let me know.  We try not to bombard her with phone calls and take it in turns to phone her.  Keeping my fingers tightly crossed for her.

     

    Meant to say hello to all  I have not mentioned, hope the sun is shining for you.  Have a good day.
