soop, I have spotted an orange poppy in my jungle. The brightest spot of colour has been the clump of 'naked ladies' - autumn crocuses. My friend says she has always called them 'naked boys'. hmm It's more than time to get bulbs into pots but I have been clinging to my scarlet begonias which have been a picture all summer and longer. Still, they are now looking a bit sad and I suppose I will have to uproot them.

grannylyn65 Eating the bacon isn't behaving badly, poor cat was starving! Obviously ?
Well done wobbly and missus! smile

grannylyn65 Sun 09-Oct-16 14:00:56

At least they left the baked beans !!grin

I agree Lona the cat is obviously not getting a balanced diet. I am amazed that it ate bacon as it is so salty. Perhaps it did not have time to scoff the beans as it was disturbed?

Tara is having a day indoors today, catching up on sleep.

A short, sharp shower two minutes ago- I do not mind as I will not have to water the outdoor plants.

I saw on line a perfect bin at Wilko for I think £12- the minor problem is that they are out of stock. I am beginning to think that I was never meant to find a new bin, it has been so difficult. I would need a mortgage to buy one of Dunelm Mill's bins-£80+++. I think that I will wait for Wilko to re-stock.

I think we may be barred from the kitchen, last night DD1and I got back here about midnight after SIL3's birthday bash in ubercool Spitalfiends Market .
DH was not up to going and fond as he is of SIL would have hated the noise, the crush, the awful journeys there and back and basically the City on a Saturday night, he was left in charge. I believe he went off to bed at 10 and while he would have tipped Grace into the garden, she is a cunning old girl and frequently just does a circuit of the picnic table and no real "business" before whining to come back in ("it's dark, and cold and I'm a good dog blah, blah, blah") Even with the bedroom door open I doubt f he would have heard her as she doesn't bark to go out, just looks stressed and gives a little whimper.
You can see where this is going, only it's worse. When we got back there had been an "accident" of gigantic proportions near the kitchen /patio door and fortunately on a machine washable turtle mat runner, but worse was that she had lain down on about the only bit of hard shiny floor without a runner and was not able to get her back legs up., because her feet kept sliding away. She was trembling, whimpering, shaking with I think fear, maybe pain so I locked my arms under her tummy and heaved her up and she was able to walk, very stiffly and limp go out while I set to to clearing up and getting some air in as it was pungent. Thank god she hadn't been in the sitting room or hall and done it on the carpet.
Poor dog, I felt so sorry for her but it was also a warning of what may be to come sad
She is normally a very well-behaved oet - may we stay?

DaphneBroon Sun 09-Oct-16 16:00:03

Oh number I have just seen your message and am so very very sorry for your loss. I can't think of any other words but trust that the end came peacefully and quietly for him and that you have the support of all your family at this sad, sad time. Love and my condolences to you all

Daphne of course Grace may stay, poor lamb. She must have been terrified, wondering where her mum was. Hopefully all is now cleaned up and she has settled down.
