3: Gardening Diaries ...

I have quit my part-time job.

He had agreed to give me 20 hours a week, and it never happened. The last straw - I was scheduled to work 6 hours on a Monday, and that was it. I was tired of having to ask - When am I working next? So I put in my two weeks notice, and he actually seemed surprised. (And a bit disappointed...)

I've given it some thought, and decided I'll go job-hunting again after spring is over; once it is too hot to be enjoyable outside. That way, I can get my flowers and veggies planted, and then ignore them through the heat of summer.

...still the BBQ utensil side to approach... I'm thinking Copper Tubing and "S" hooks lol

Green painted wood greenhouse, green painted wood bar, green painted wood trellis, green painted wood wine rack, and green painted wood condiment holder. . . with copper tubing and S-hooks?

Nah!! You can do better!!

S'gotta be something green painted wood!! A green lattice "skirting" around the bottom of the grill? A decorative piece of "picket fence," like the one in front of the greenhouse, except hanging on the wall...? An arch? An "awning" type thing attached to a plank, hung on the wall? ... Lay awake another night, I'm sure you'll come up with something better!

Well... ... Umm... ...

I guess I should say, I am the "dreamer," my boyfriend is the "builder." I am forever saying, "I like this thing, but I want it to do this..." ... and he figures it out.

Green painted wood...something...

Good morning to you, MaryMary - I think the Brits like that kind of green. If you had been the Westminster, it has been decorated with this green and subliminally, it's associated with snobbery, class, monarchy and credibility. This green and a certain of blue and purple .. and violet. So deep inside, BigC is a posh snob! LOL!

You see, this green does look very majestic. It inspires respect, durability and sturdiness, which our BigC epitomises!


Pugin was the man behind this craziness - a genius who overworked and probably never slept, like bigC!

Boy, I love Pugin and wonder how he could manage all these .. A lot of fine details and the colour schemes were so bold and unusual.





I went to the parliament, but the whole experience was marred by a female guard who singled me out for padding, or patting. I so wanted to smack her and it was so hot that day!

I like the green that Colin has chosen, it's relaxing and calm. It's a nice colour for the garden, it blends in.

Yes its going to be brass Munsen Rings and Painted wood tree stakes

Hahaha...I have to laugh out loud knowing that this is just an assumption @alp ..nothing could be farther from the truth

BigC - that is called a click bait! Is that right? LOL!

Thank you @Logan..its becoming increasingly hard to obtain (that colour in the range) must be a lot of posh snobs around these parts

Don't think it's Colin, Logan! I make that mistake all the times with several threads open.

Talking about virtual, Abba has got back together and recorded 2 new songs and they're going to do a hologram of them singing and do a venue, but they won't be touring. Agnetha Faltskog said that they have separate lives now and it's impossible. But how can they turn down something like that.

 

[alp]

Always love ABBA! So many memorable songs. Money talks.

Yes I liked their music too....must say I preferred their later tracks ( more emotional and meaningful due to their relationship break ups on doubt ) Went to see their first musical Chess....gosh that was 32 yrs ago where does the time go!!!!!

Just finished my roasted dinner. Had to do the pork joint and chicken together to save money. But the potatoes didn't taste that brilliant. Life is cruel: Why are there more thighs on a chicken? I love that part of the bird and yet there is only a pair. Wish someone would produce chicken with 4 legs ...

The weather has been very nasty to those along the SE coast
