OH had his long weekend off this week, so after allowing him to go out for a drink with his mates Friday night, I put him to work Saturday morning.

1st was a hanging basket bracket that needed to be moved.

I should let him off as he was still abit squiffy from night before!

So after a coffee he put it right.

Next was the window basket I aquired free of charge.

Then I sprung the big one on him.

A New Veg Bed

Let him have a break…

Then back to work

Could of done it myself but so much easier with two.
One more little job. A cute little bird feeder I picked up at Crufts.

Good days work.

Now shall I cook for him…. Nah Chinese! Lol

Why not make use of it :) and you did allow him a can of Fosters! Just as well he wasn't in his budgie smugglers for the camera:)))). You can't beat a good Chinese after a hard days work in the garden. I did exactly the same on Saturday !!

Scottish I have some pics of him in a mankini standing on the front of the boat on the Norfolk Broads, beleive me it was not a pretty sight! Lol.

Hi Lil, yes doggies were taken out but they like to have a look first. I think Willi thought we were building it for Freddie (bearded collie) Willi does not like Fred, case of both mummy's babies.

Sorry to make you choke Bilbo (hope your better soon) The thing is I was not surprised when I saw it, living with my OH all you can do is laugh Hywel.

Thanks Paul, we know that you must be in your garden 24/7 to keep it looking the way it does :-)

Well done hubby, I guess he deserved his tinny after all that.
Very nice veg bed and really like the bracket and birdfeeder...

The hanging bracket give me a giggle, thought it was a warning to what would happen to the doggies if they didn`t keep out of the veggie bed.lol.
Nice to see you getting all the jobs done.

Did you see the Affenpinscher BOB at Crufts ?
Looked good on TV in Group ....

13 Mar, 2012

 

Oooh TT dont go there. If you had seen him in the ring next to the british dogs you would have thought it was a different breed.
Highly trimmed which in this breed should not happen. Must of had a dyed coat because you never see an affenpinscher with a totally black coat. If fact I did hear word going round that if it had won the group the kennel club would have been asked to coat test.
I sat next to the owners, co-owners & god knows who else was tagging along all through judging, they were loud, rude & watched none of the judging apart from their dog. One of the men swore every other word & at one point I had to ask one of the women to move out of the ring & sit down as we were trying to watch the dogs!
All in all they did not do much for the American people.

Sorry about the rant x

Lol. That's why I asked.. It looked nice on TV, but you can't always tell without seeing a dog in real life... coat colour etc.

Been a bit busy then Willi? Like that veggie planter. That is going to be soooo useful. I see you have been busy planting up your other things as well like your namesake patio rose?? Cant wait to see it in the summer in full production.

Thanks PL, Yes have been busy.
I did plan to get rid of some of my pots when I made the raised beds but I seem to gradually filling them all up again!
You spotted the rose then, I put it in a pot so I can move it to where ever it is happiest.
