Young new neighbour across the lane,another ex pupil!
Well,he is really slogging away in his garden ,lovely verandah and balustrade.
Planters etc, has planted lots of berry shrubs,red& black currants, raspberries,blue berries ,raspberries.
He asked what one shrub already in the garden was, St John’s Wort, I said get rid of it,the children will think the berries on it are also edible .
They have a five year old and an eighteen month old .
Asked if I had room in my bins for garden waste and general rubbish,bin day Dtomorrow so yes it was OK.
Has a super little girl, very Frank, calls me by my first name .
She shouts across “Viktoria, I have a phone ( she is just five ) “
“ Ooooh, you are a big girl”
“ Doesn’t work!”
“Viktoria I have a watch “
“ Do you know what time it is?”
“ Oh, it doesn’t work,”
I ‘ve decided to get rid of an unreliable kitchen timer.
I will give it to her on the basis it doesn’t work!
Well it does a bit but no good really.
Hot hot hot today.
Must hobble, crawl, slither to the post box, son is 64 on the twelfth.
The ill one.
He is in Bolton so I don’t think he will leave the area to come to me ,so no Birthday kisses either.
Won’t be driving as the drugs don’t allow him to drive ,but anyway best not to come even though I am in Greater Manchester too..
Some nastyturtiums ,( one of my children’s name for Nasturtiums) have finally germinated, they took their time.
Will water all containers tonight , and ‘ er s next door’s too.
No news really ,look after yourselves . Viktoria.
