Seriously we do have nettles in Tassie as to whether they sting and as to whether we have dock leaves I will have to enquire in the days ahead.
I hope yor daughter has a lovely day.

Goodnight

Hi Oldgit - my daughter had a lovely day at the farm yesterday...
They got to do quite a bit - and learnt more than i thought they would (although i'm not surprised as her new teacher is what i would call an old-school teacher - really good compared to the young teacher she had previously)...
She was giving her Dad a lesson about Lanolin when she came home yesterday.....but typically being kids (especially 5 years old) - the thing her and her friends have talked about most is the fact that one of the cows did a massive poo and wee whilst being milked! :eek:

Re: Tasmania??
 
5mins ago our postman and my nextdoor neighbour knocked to tell me that two windows in the side of our car have been smashed...:mad:
I've just had to ring Andy to get him to come home from work to sort it out....
Andy is fuming :mad::mad::mad:

Our next door neighbour uses a strimmer thing out the front of his house - and quite often kicks up stones - he previously scratched our last car :mad:

Thing is - although i've heard machinery going for the last hour or so - i dont know whether he was out the front or out the back - and how do i prove he's responsible (which i'm sure he was as he was a bit shifty when he knocked!)

Good job we're full comp on our insurance - but we're still going to be the bloody excess out of pocket and Andy's loss of wages for the rest of today! :mad::mad:

Days like today i really need to move!

thanks Kerry...

Andy's got to take the car to the RAC window place later this afternoon - which means i cant get into work early myself today now - so i'll be working late tonight to try and get my hours done - and what i cant do i'll have to work tomorrow - so i'm really pissed off as well now as i hate working the weekends :mad:...
Andy's going to lose half a days wages - and the excess is £60.

I have just hung some washing out - and our next door neighbour had the gall to stand by the fence and tell me about "how it's happened to his car in years gone by". He's such a liar. :frown: Why he couldn't just admit it's because he was using this machine thing i dont know.... He doesnt want to come out when Andy gets home i know that :ohmy: I told my next door neighbour that if Andy was to find the person that did it he'd kill them! :lol:

Just told Andy to ring the estate agent and tell them to knock £5,000 off our asking price for the house......

Definitely time to move........

Forecast today for a lovely 19 degrees celsius, up on the North-West coast. Not bad seeing it's only a few more weeks before the start of Winter. :D

Forgive me for butting in but I have been to Ulverston twice quite a thriving centre and friends took me for a walk on the beach we went through a beachside park with a war memorial to the navy . Lovely clear sea water
Sorry please continue, ignoring my untimely intervention, and have a nice weekend
Yours butting out
Cheers Oldgit

It's been in the 20's for the last few days - mean't to reach high's of 24/25 at the weekend here... Not bad for us for May... bit of a shock to the system for most people though - no pleasing the English - we moan about the bad weather and then moan when it's too hot! :D

Yes you English are always moaning:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Hey there,
So glad she had a lovely day on the farm.
I bet she knows more than I do :)
Giving her dad lessons on lanolin wish she would do the same for me;)
I use Oil of Ulay does wonders for my complexion I don't know what my friend uses on the cows:lol:
The cows we agist are beef not dairy milkers so i suspect we don't use lanolin.
We have cows and horses ( Dexter cows and Connemara ponies) but they belong to an Australian lady who lives close by and she grazes the land off us and keeps the grass from becoming a fire hazard in the summer.
Yes all cows poo etc when you have visitors they save it all up and then....:ohmy:
Tomorrow will send a pic or two in case she has farming in her veins:D
Cheers oldgit
