Perhaps it's a shed for making miniatures in or growing bonsai? But I like TTs idea best!

3 Jul, 2011

 

Turn it on end and it would make a good loo for Flower Pot People... I claim my prize... a Flower Pot Person ... with outside loo ... Lol.

3 Jul, 2011

 

That's very good Mark. I hope you do another! Whoever has the best suggestion could win what you made - TT - I see a prize coming your way!!

3 Jul, 2011

 

Excuse me Sticki, I think I am the winner,

3 Jul, 2011

 

Many apologies yorkie, I was under the impression that you didn't guess but used the picture!! Anyway terratoonie's outside loo made me laugh more!

3 Jul, 2011

 

I hoping I am "privy" to the correct answer ...
would make me "flushed" with success .....
... ha ha ha

3 Jul, 2011

 

Ha ha, Flushed with success, think I will Skip that one,

3 Jul, 2011

 

I rather think Yorkshire was 'privy' to the last answer!

Lets hope it doesn't all go down the pan!

3 Jul, 2011

 

Oh No, this is getting worse, beat that one Tt,

3 Jul, 2011

3 Jul, 2011

 

how about a nice window box for Julie, anyway, what was the one you built yesterday, was it a boat, a loo, or a skip.

3 Jul, 2011

 

Oh, sorry, think I'm too late, I was out gardening!

Mark ~ how about a little house for a hedgehog? Or something I would like ~ a swing seat!

TT and Yorkie ~ maybe Mark should build a shed for all the pottys those flower pot men would need??

3 Jul, 2011

love the skip, my dad would love that as he was a skip man himself, now retired :o)

3 Jul, 2011

 

Hi Sandra.. knew you'd find this..Lol.
Sticki....
catch up on Mark's next blog with your potty idea ;o)

3 Jul, 2011

 

Found it thanks TT but I think I forgot to say that bit?

3 Jul, 2011

 

don't worry Sticki ...
I said it for you...Lol.

3 Jul, 2011

 

Thank you! So I can skip that then?

3 Jul, 2011

 

Yes .... already made a skip ..

3 Jul, 2011

 

Just want to say thanks Mark - you have written two very entertaining blogs - kept me giggling every time I read them.

Isn't there a song:
' loo, loo, skip to my loo!' ?

3 Jul, 2011

 

Quote :

Skip to my Lou ...

“loo” is the Scottish word for “love.” The spelling change from “loo” to “lou” probably happened as the song became Americanized.

3 Jul, 2011

 

I thought it was Lou but I changed it to suit the blog!

3 Jul, 2011

 

.. but fascinating that it originally was Loo...

so, as usual, Sticki, you were correct.. :o) Lol.

3 Jul, 2011

 

Makes a change TT! And only right by mistake.

3 Jul, 2011

 

Bedtime now, so I'll sign off with one for the gnomes which roam at dusk...
"Waterloo Sunset" ;o)

3 Jul, 2011

 

I can't follow that!

Early to bed, early to rise! I ought to do that,I feel permanently tired and I dont know why.

3 Jul, 2011

 

So my name in Scottish means Love Love LoL!

4 Jul, 2011

 

That's a very nice name then Loulou

4 Jul, 2011

 

Better than LouLouFifiTrixibelle!!! (as some mates call me, as well as LooBrush, I think something to do with wild curly hair!)

5 Jul, 2011

 

A loo brush?? Is that what Mark is making?

You could never be a loo brush lulu especially in that posh hat you have!

5 Jul, 2011

 

LOL and we are now going to Glorious Goodwood, I can wear the other posh hat!! The black and white one!

5 Jul, 2011

 

Did we see that photo? If not please can we?

5 Jul, 2011

 

I say, have we seen the finished product on here yet,

5 Jul, 2011

 

No! I was wondering!?

5 Jul, 2011

 

what he playing at then, will send him a PM and tell him to pull his finger out, whats the weather like down your end, bright here, raining and doing nothing,

5 Jul, 2011

 

It was raining, very cloudy and much cooler today.

5 Jul, 2011

 

So what's for dinner tonight? More lovely lamb and peas or shepherds pie?

5 Jul, 2011

 

No actually, OH has pulled another load of peas today, we had a barbie last night, that was very nice, I am having a beef salad tonight, and he is having a Salmon salad, a few beers and the odd glass of wine,

5 Jul, 2011

 

Pea wine would be very odd??

5 Jul, 2011

 

now that is so funny, OH said should we make pea pod wine, I say I don't think so,

5 Jul, 2011

 

I dread to think of the wine that could be made in mark's potting shed! That's what he must be doing - making wine!

5 Jul, 2011

 

Oh goodness, knowing him it could be anything,

5 Jul, 2011

 

Can you ferment wood?

5 Jul, 2011

 

if you can sticki, believe me, Mark will be the man to do it,

5 Jul, 2011

 

I expect it wood be difficult for anyone else!

5 Jul, 2011

 

yer, I get it, "wood" , Lol

5 Jul, 2011

 

Let's see what could he be making:

Willow wine
Bark beer
Lime liqueur?

5 Jul, 2011

 

Lilac wine ...

♪ ♫ "I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe"... ♪ ♫

5 Jul, 2011

5 Jul, 2011

 

Rhubarb wine,

5 Jul, 2011

5 Jul, 2011

 

Much tastier I thought!

5 Jul, 2011

5 Jul, 2011

 

She's eating Tunes I think?

5 Jul, 2011

 

Which other blog ? ;o)

5 Jul, 2011

 

nice one Sticki, Terra the other one,

5 Jul, 2011

 

It doesn't take much to confuse me terra - don't make me worse!

5 Jul, 2011

 

she is getting me all confused now Sticki

5 Jul, 2011

 

I have no idea where I am at the best of times.

Perhaps Mark has made a time machine and he is now a time lord in the 22nd century?

5 Jul, 2011

 

Mark is probably out in his garden with a few cans of carlings,

5 Jul, 2011

 

Did you mean out of his tree after or with the carlings?

5 Jul, 2011

 

with the amount he can drink he's probally up the tree right now,

5 Jul, 2011

 

LOL alot! from what's for supper, to wine and beer, and would that we could make wine out of wood...to Time lords!
It's time for a wine!

5 Jul, 2011

 

I am just going in the lounge for a lager Lou, Cheers,

5 Jul, 2011

 

Any bottle will do!

5 Jul, 2011

 

Cheers back girls!

5 Jul, 2011

 

Think I had better have another one! Spend my time making tea for OH and he doesn't like it.

5 Jul, 2011

 

So what IS this project anyway?

6 Jul, 2011

 

I agree Lou, I want to know too!!

6 Jul, 2011

 

Does Mark live near you yorkshire? Could you pop over and ask him please?

6 Jul, 2011

 

about half hour away Sticki,

6 Jul, 2011

 

Wouldn't take long then, if you are not busy!!?

6 Jul, 2011

 

Oh Sticki, give me a break, done all the house work today and a pile of ironing,

6 Jul, 2011

6 Jul, 2011

 

Onion and sage from the garden to boot!

6 Jul, 2011

 

Salmon fish cakes with potatoes and mint from the garden, followed by strawberries that I picked on Monday, oh and there is a carrot cake cooling in the kitchen.

6 Jul, 2011

6 Jul, 2011

 

Oh sorry I forgot, they were very nice tho! Strawberries all gone - had to be finished - past their best now. I do have some tummel (like Tay) berries though

6 Jul, 2011
