@Upsy Daisy

isn't it suppose to bring you good luck when a bird poops on you?

@johnny canoe Have you had better luck after being pooed on?? LOL!

I was so tired that I nearly passed out .. until I read this ..

Hey! I've only had a bird poop on me once. Some of those damned pigeons were using the loft of one of our barns to roost in. I happened to be walking through the loft and it happened. Dirty buzzards really messed that loft up with their droppings. I went into the house, cleaned up, grabbed my rifle and went back to the barn and shot one dead, the rest flew out. But it was several more years until we permanently chased them off. Dad had that huge old barn torn down and buried. Those buzzards had to find some other farm to be squatters at.

I've been 'pooped' on twice, once when I took my own children up to London to see all the tourist attractions - we had just left Madame Tausauds (sp?) and were heading on to London Zoo. Well what can I say.... I think that bird had been saving it up or had a bad bout of constipation......... and I was on the receiving end . Made everyone laugh..except for me!
The second time was when I was working and I had taken a small group of children to a park in town.....landed all over my tee shirt , much to the delight of the little folk I had to use a whole packet of baby wipes and pinch extra from my friend too before I looked respectable again. Asking the children later about what was the best bit of their day...............you can guess what they said.

Morning all

Morning, especially to Logan. I woke up 4.32.. Beat you, Logan! I think! Hehe..

@johnny canoe You could rear the pigeons and get their eggs and use them like chicken. We had such pigeon delicacies .. Sorry if I offend some vegans' sensibility! You must have seen quite a variety of birds... Imagine that!

@Upsy Daisy Wild birds can be such a nuisance.. Next time I travel around, must take some wipes.. Whilst we were eating fish and chips by the seaside, the seagulls were very aggressive and tried to pinch our fish! It was like a safety hazard...

 

[Logan]

Alp, yes you did.

 

[alp]

! Yeah! Onto my 2nd round of laundry. Will do 3.. and today will get a lot of horse manure from the old place.. and look around for mulch ..

 

[Logan]

I'm still growing these and they've multiplied.

 

[alp]

Haha! So hilarious! The trouble we go to get a bit of flowers!

@Logan You must be living in an area where people are very well-behaved.. What are growing underneath, Logan? I have plucked some rhubarbs ... Will upload later

My garden is having a good day. My first tomato flower has fully matured, seems like it's gonna produce soon.
And also the tropical almond tree in my backyard produced the green shells. I wonder if it's edible in that stage?

 

[alp]

@Klona Do they have tropical almond tree? I have one from seed and it is about 1 foot tall. One puny stick.. Also, I have a chestnut tree from seed last year, probably two.. Can you upload and let this nosy person, me, have a look please? If they have green shell, you could be counting your almond! Haha! How many years have you had it?

I reckon you don't need milkbottle to act as a greenhouse.. Clever method to prevent frost ... Don't you think? I wonder what the country flag is.. Wish I had more knowledge about country flags, LOL!

@Logan How can I force my puny leeks into something chunky like those sold in supermarkets please?

@alp, you want to know what @Klona's flag is? Or anyone else's - hover your cursor over the flag, it should pop up and tell you.

 

[alp]

@MaryMary You're brilliant - you've taught me so many things.. I only know 4 to 6 flags.. UK, USA, India, Canada. and I'm trying to remember United Arab Emirates' flag now. The webdesigners are giving their 100% here! Well done, guys!

@MaryMary Thank you once again.. Got to be off now as son will be back to uni soon.. See you later in the evening.. Have a nice day...
