Good morning Mick & all Abbers

Not a drop of sun here today Mick, we are waiting for a little more snow, unfortunately.
This certainly has been one long & grueling winter.
I hope your rabbit perks up for you!
I witnessed my big dog Maxie slip & fall on the ice yesterday - it was terrible. All four legs went out from underneath her & she hit the deck like a ton of bricks. Fortunately there were two other adults here at the time to help me get her up & back on her feet. Geez!!!

Hello to everyone, sending wishes for a great AF Saturday for one & all!

MAE...

Mick...thanks for the kickoff. I'm glad you're not any farther south you're whole garden would be under water. Good job on getting that soil moved yesterday. I think I've been wearing a mediator hat 3 months after I started. Had a great visit and with the temps at +4 we spent the morning outside. The rest of the long weekend is mine. Have a successful outing tomorrow.

Lav...sorry I think we're hogging the sun this weekend. We're supposed to get a bit of snow tonight but it won't amount to much. Starting to think spring may actually show up this year. Glad others were around to help with Maxie.

Got some chores planned for today so will get with it after I eat the greek salad I'm having for lunch.

:hallo: to all the lurkers....Have a great AF Saturday....PPQP

Hi all - Mick, that made me laugh! Now I can't look at the picture though without seeing the black spot - may have to find some time to find a new piccy!
So happy, found someone selling farm eggs - girls had scrambled for lunch and I had fried on toast - I LOVE REAL eggs, with yellow yolks! So happy - I have been looking for a source for a couple years. And he sold me 2 1/2 dozen for $5 (about 3 pounds!) - so chuffed!
Had a good walk today - moist air, so have frizzy hair now, but feel good for moving.
Mick, your planter looks a wee bit wet - planting rice???
Good to see you Lav and PPQ - where on earth is everyone else??

SL - not sure what you mean by real eggs? Do you mean hens that are not in cages (ie free range )?

[scottish lass]

sat 15 Feb

TT - farm eggs (with Big Yellow Yolks) not supermarket eggs with wimpy pale small yolks! Even teh free range ones in stores are pathetic - these are from a guy with chickens in his back yard Lav will know exactly what i mean!

Happy Saturday! Nice sunny day...a bit of cloud covering.... no big doses of dopamine kind

SL and Pauly so glad you guys made it without giving into the drink the other day. I had actually typed that out for my journal and then decided to post it. For me it is good to know that if my brain chemicals start to get out of whack I still can resist the urge to say "screw it".

TT...I so understand the "reward" at the end of the day, that was so me. Some prize it was I also was pretty productive while drinking. I always thought it wasn't so bad to clean the house and do mundane chores a bit buzzed. Most nights after drinking....I would wake up to a spotless house, even all the empties were swept away and thrown out in the trash. Laundry was done. Now I am not so OCD:H

Mick so glad you didn't drop the casket. I cracked up about you and your friend thinking the other had passed. I only do that with actors....."googling are they still alive". Then when I find out that they passed 12 years ago....I am a bit saddened.

Hubby and I went out for Valentines Day today. I decided I wanted to check out a new "hot spot" in town. It is in a historic building that has been renovated. There has been much buzz about the cocktails and I was prepared for the detail I was going to get on how they are french pressing the brandy to draw out the flavor, why they are using brandy and the whole big to do of what they bring to patrons who order it. I have never had brandy in my life. The waiter begins to describe the whole to do to my husband.....when he is finished my hubby looks and him and says "are you serious?" I think he thought he was on Candy Camera. Anyways...the food was fabulous and so was our ice tea.

Evening all
feeling a little under the weather, hope it doesn't become some full blown yuck!

been working on taxes, I just hate having to revisit the year financially. I know I should keep up with it every month and I'm hoping that's going to be one of my sober perks, being more attentive to the books.

Mick, photos look good but you really did get a boatload of rain.The black drain tile, what will you do with it? Hope your rabbit is doing better.

Cheer up Sam :lilflower:- if its not taxes its the kids science fair projects!:H Just ask SL.

I'm crunching words at the moment - and Sunday is almost over. I went for a walk today and got angry at all the rubbish I could see that people had thrown from their cars at the side of the road. Then I went off the road and had a calm-me-down down by the sea - until the wind threatened to blow the few remaining hairs on my head to the South Pole .

Where's Narilly?????
