Cordless Mini Trimmers

[Robinia]

Does anyone have one of THESE or something similar? I need something light to tidy up plants & the smaller shrubs - I get a man in for the big stuff! :o) I wondered if it will only cut very soft new growth or if it would also be handy to cut down perennials that might be a bit woody?

[Robinia]

welcome!

tea & biscuits?

hahahaha

[Dolly1308]

Thanks for the Email <b >Robi and also for the Tea and biscuits welcome. Love the flowers ,what are they? I see you 've been having a bit of sunshine ,that should help get rid of everyone's aches and pains for a while .
There won't be anyone working over there if you all take retirement ! well enjoy it all the recent retirees and good luck .
Been to see a weird film today called "THE HAPPENING " don't bother going to see it . It's now getting to that time in our lives when we have to start sorting out hundreds of photos to divide between our 4 off -spring (who ,and I quote ,all want their OWN photos ) just hope I live long enough to do it !!!! Well that's all for now -look after yourselves .Dolly xx

Hi Dolly - the first to arrive & the one who lives on the other side of the planet!...not sure which planet the others are on today.
I was going to scan & post some old pics a few weeks ago & then I remembered my sister's sifting thorough them so you were all spared, haha.
The flowers are self seeded foxgloves in front of a choisya...I think they knew they'd be able to show off just there!

afternoon folks....
<grabs Vinny by the braces....<<<<TWANG!!>>>

stop telling fibs, it isn't HOT...ok!!....I thought your symbols said HRT, hahaha...in which case it probably is hot.
Well I'm too tired to do anything much today - been awake since 4am so I think I'll just browse the timber section, I love the smell of new wood.

hi to marm when you arrive here (I'm sure neti will get around to reading her email eventually, when she's done flicking through the Bunty)

[shaneystar2]

Hello Foxies
After a lot of kerfuffle and going through my deleted email I have found you ..I think you must have got deleted Robinia because you ended up in the middle of Viagra and a Nigerian chap with a begging letter :)
What's that Wooly Bufferer on about ...HOT ? It's blooming chilly here and I've had to put me crimplene cardi on .
Not much going on at Shanetowers ..same old ,different days ..Gloomy men ..because the Germans lost ..as if I care !
Hope you are all well xxx

Dawgs, Dolly and Marm. My computer was infected... or so it seemed. The infection may prove to have involved "only" Google Docs, but that's bad enough. I can't access my documents that are somewhere in there being chewed by a virus, which is bad, and what's even worse is that it's just a couple of weeks ago that I persuaded an illustrator I'm doing some work with to upload his drawings in there inside my text documents - it's like a shared desk that we can both access from different parts of town, with our separate passwords. It sounded like a great idea at the time... now I'm worried about him getting his drawings stolen or something, what do I know (about viruses.) He's a well-known political cartoonist here and we did some work (not political) for a magazine a few years ago where I wrote some stuff and he drew and we're hoping it will develop into something more. But I'm feeling so bad about it right now as he was cautious in the first place about using a shared desk on the internet...

...and as if that's not bad enough, they have now brought in an excavator to dig up pretty much the whole ffffff-in park!! Probably to do with connecting the kiosk with the water-pipes.... which is fine.... I suppose... just hoping they're done soon.

What is it with you and Croatia, Vinnie the Panda, and why is Vincent such a shifty name (apparently); I think it's beautiful. I suppose it's to do with the mob, but still, they must have more than one name between them...

Have a great time together, Neti and Marm!

You know, when Robinia says she gets a man in for the big jobs... she ain't kiddin' either

oops, somehow managed to post this handy device for Kit in the old thread...

[Robinia]

good evening latest arrivals...well that was an errrrm, interesting place for me to end up shaney....I hope it wasn't that Bill fella & his bongos, :o) It's been wooly vest weather here.

I'm glad you managed to join us Kit, but does this mean we'll all need one of those <whispers> protective thingies now?... better make sure it's in the right place....

Those Vinny's get everywhere
just found this down aisle no 376

hahaha...works best with the lights off? don't we all?

[DaSwede]

"We placed Vinnie on two farms in the Midwest during a two week period over the summer" - oh so that's where he is when he isn't where he should be! Good thing you saw that, Robinia!

Gee whiz, thanks jno - what is it? I'm trying it out even as we speak. / I used to live in a small, bigoted town and there was a condom machine hidden away on the street where I lived, just at the corner of my block, and it was so funny whenever I turned around that corner late in the evening to see the looks of the men who were just approaching the machine from the other direction, they used to get that deer caught in the headlight look when they saw me, ha ha ha, they'd turn themselves into mime artists and pretend to raise their arm to look at their watch and not to put a coin in the machine; one turned around so fast he almost fell over... it was a very religious little town. You wouldn't believe how I lived, it was just a simple flat but it was almost on the beach... there was just one street and one railway track between my windows and this great lake that is the second largest on this map. I lived in the town called J�nk�ping. I've only ever lived in two places that weren't by the coast, and in J�nk�ping I could have thrown a stone from my window and have it land in that gigantic lake... Don't know if you can see it but there's an island in the lake and it used to vanish and appear like a mirage, like magic...

Any-hoo... happy birthday before it's too late to my biggest teenage crush Dennis from Dr Hook

sweetest

oh, is that what he's up to since he gave up the tortellini...

tum ti tum, must get packed, holiday on Sunday! ooh I do like this travelling lark. Just think, if I retire <crosses fingers> I'll be able to do a decent amount of it and take up all those late offers I keep seeing in the papers.

[woofgang]

hello all quick wizz in to see the new place.....lovely I do like the hammock and that big bucket of chilled alcoholic substances....pity I can't stay longer. DH finally finished work yesterday and while we aren't going away on hols (we usually rent a cottage somewhere,two pups in someone elses house...I sooooo don't think so!) we are taking a holiday type break at home so I will mostly not be in if you see what mean.
Anyway catch you next weekish......

[Robinia]

afternoon...
haha, this homes & garden thread has soon turned into Vinny Variations Venue....well why not, he must have been prepared when he moved in with a babble of biddies :o)

that simple life sounds lovely Kit, you all seem to have/had interesting abodes... <sigh>...I just live in a place called Duncopin'....

oh here we go again, waving jno off...have a lovely time, arrivederci !

sounds like a good idea woofy...enjoy all those fried breakfasts, pasties & clotted cream & slopping about in gaudy clothes you wouldn't dream of wearing in your own town.... oh crikey, they're in holiday mode already

[DaSwede]

Oh look there's an open-air caf� in my park just outside my window...! They're having a kiosk-warming party so it's probably just friends and relatives, but I have to say it looks very nice - I wouldn't mind if it's to be a small caf� as well as a kiosk.

You're leaving us, Don(na) jno - che peccato! When will you return to your chiacchieroni? Here's a little something protective if you know what I mean - they'll respect you more if you talk the talk. Hey Donna Robinia, with your ancestry, do you speak Italian at all?

Happy Retirement, Woofy's husband! Don't be a stranger on here Woofy, we want to follow the adventures of your strapping young lads (from a distance, ha ha.) (No they'd be welcome at my house if I had one.)

[netibiza]

Blimey - the party's started without me!! Thanks for email Robi head was in the clouds.

Back with bl**ding plants and flowers again are we, that'll be me out of the conversation then!

Will go and do my bit by kicking a dead leaf out of the way, << such hard work this gardening stuff>>

[netibiza]

...and don't go encouraging marm, all she could twitter on about today was blue tits in her garden, and I said, don't whatever you do, let El Vin hear that - they'll be no stopping him!
