Been a very busy bee recently
We have had some very good weather recently and consequently I’ve managed to make a little progress on some of my garden projects. I still haven’t bought a new camera, so yet again these pictures are poor quality mobile phone pictures…….oh how I miss my camera.
Remember the pile of rubble I was left with after having my garden shed door moved??
I seem to remember Diana saying I could make it into a rockery. Well……………..I managed to ‘hide’ most of it and what was left, will indeed make a very nice neat corner rockery, thank you Diana.
Remember the complete bathroom I had dumped in my garden by well meaning and thoughtful daughters??
The well meaning and thoughtful daughters never did plumb in the new cream bathroom and it has sat in my garden ever since. The bath became scratched and the grandchildren were getting very fed up with it being in their way in the garden. I decided to keep my aged but serviceable green bathroom and hired a little man to dig a hole and ‘plant’ the other bath that was sitting in the garden. This time next year this bath will be my wild life pond, we will have frogs and toads and dragon flies and lilly pads!!
LOL. The other day I read an article about some neighbours in a town in the US who created a big 'stink' because a woman had used a toilet as a planter. Sure hope your neighbours are not like that!
ReplyDeleteSorry about this page....................I thought all th little problems on this page were sorted and then this happens.............it stretched and stretched and stretched
ReplyDeleteIt may be the length or the font size of your URL in the text that stretched it:

Wait and see Loretta if anyone else has this problem because for me it doesn't appear stretched out. I'll go look at it on IE though.
ReplyDeleteIt is stretched in IE.
ReplyDeleteYes, Frank is right. On IE it's very stretched but not so on FF.
ReplyDeletethanks frank, didn't think of that, i'll remove the links, don't really need them anyway so i'll see if it makes a difference.
ReplyDeleteTry removing the URL or break it into 2 lines or go to small size font.
ReplyDeleteAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Frank you were right, it was just the links making it stretch, thank you
ReplyDeleteyou have been a busy busy bee... I love the recycled used for the bathtub, etc.... very creative....
ReplyDeletea lovely garden!
untill every thing settles down i must remember not to use links, still can't use FF though
ReplyDeleteWhat's FF?
ReplyDeleteHi Mo, thanks, yep been quite busy recently with different things and you know how I love to recycle, dobn't like to throw things away.
ReplyDeleteFirefox..............I much prefer it to IE because its faster but for some reason the 'new and improved' Multiply refuses to operate on it.
ReplyDeleteIf you use the small size of your font and do bold it should be okay to use links and they can still be seen.
ReplyDeleteWow, what great ideas! My FF works just fine on it. So I dont think its Multiply. There is a computer group in my groups list. If you join it and ask what to do to fix it someone there will help. They are pretty good with stuff. :)
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks. I just started using FF myself and Multiply, so I don't know what it was like before so I've no idea if i've got the 4.0 version. But hello to Arbroath from Dundee all the same. My mum lives in Leonard Street, my cousin's at St. Murdoch's Crescent and my brother and sis-in-law live at Fergus Square.
ReplyDeleteHi Sea and thanks.............you know what I'm like for recycling, just can't throw any thing away. as for the problems on the site...........well this has happened to me before and to be honist these problems are not as bad as last time and I'mj ust sort of hoping that once every thingsettles down my site will return to normal
ReplyDeleteHow creative. You turned a problem into an asset... proved once again that .."Where there's a will there's a way".
ReplyDeleteThanks Vero...............i just don't like to throw stuff away if it can be used and I have wanted a wild life pond for ages. I've been reading about how to set them up, no fish and no alien species, just good old british frogs, toads and oxygenating native plants...........I would love newts too but they are so rare now it is illegal to move, damage, endanger, buy, sell, trade or otherwise interfere with newts..........so unless they decide to migrate to my garden, all on their own ( out of the countryside and into the town) i have no chance of getting them. What a shame!!
ReplyDeleteI have two small ponds just off my back deck. Nothing fancy there either ... just a water hole to be used by the wild life as they choose. The ponds are almost hidden and it is fun to watch the expression on my friends' faces when ,as we are sitting on the deck chatting and bird watching, one of the resident bull frogs decides to let out one of his loud grrrr ummmphs! LOL I love having them so close.
ReplyDeleteHow come you replied to Sea and Veronica, but not me?
ReplyDeleteSplendid developments! It's too hot here by now to get outside much, & we have lost 2 trees from our neighbor's yard that USED to shade our patio, which is now broiling hot all afternoon. Now what?? As always, you inspire my endeavors! Looks Great!
ReplyDeleteAnother 'glitch' noticed...............now my pictures in blogs will NOT enlarge.......this is BAD BAD.. grrrrrrr
ReplyDeleteI have found that the only way to get the pics to enlarge are to load them here to Multiply first. I dont know if thats where you have them but when I load right from my computer.....they wont enlarge.
ReplyDeletethanks, suppose this is part of the 'improvements', cos it used to work fine just loading them from the computer but if that's the way it has to be nothing we can do about it i guess
ReplyDeleteNo, its always been like that.
ReplyDeleteHmmm well thats weird cos i have always loaded pictures straight from my computer into a blog and they always enlarged ok..............strange that it didn't wok that way for you
ReplyDeleteI have noticed the first pic you load from your computer sometimes does that but it didnt always for me.
ReplyDeleteyes, you've been busy b'gosh. Nothing like getting sleeves rolled up and stuck in to it. It will be interesting to have frogs in the bathtub. *grin*
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea. It looks wonderful. I caught myself thinking "She has flowers in her loo!" The garden looks great. Your page operates fine for me. Except for the picture enlarging thing. LOL.
ReplyDeleteyour garden looks great to me,,i really like the blue fence,,my mom many years ago had an old metal oblong tub put in a hole in the ground and made it into a gold fish pond,,she had it buried up to the top so you couldn't see any of the outside,,she had marbles on the bottom i remember,,don't remember any frogs etc. unless they just showed up because i know she didn't purchase or go out and hunt any :) too bad you didn't get to use the bathroom fixtures for the bathroom but you made good use of them anyways,,your page is showing up fine for me,,i use ff (after yahoo recommended updating ie and now i only get a blank page and that pops off)
ReplyDeletelooking good loretta-
ReplyDeleteLooks good, the garden and the blog, I came here after your note.
ReplyDeleteI tried to get your pictures to enlarge but I couldn't. You know that blue fence is my favorite. I was going to see about getting it on Jungleblogs. I am in dialog with Multiply about the enlarging pix issue. And a pond!! I have always wanted one. My husband says it would be a breeding place for mosquitos - that is what ducks are for - they eat the eggs and larva.
