A Wee Dram or Three: June 2009

Sorry I'm Late.........

....but ASDA*Walmart had this offer on Beringer Zin. Normally it retails at £5.98 a bottle, but they had it on offer at 3 bottles for £10!!!! How on earth could I resist!! That's not all, they also had Trop on offer too!, so of course I indulged. The one item they just can't seem to get their heads around is McVities Rich Tea Biscuits(Cookies). they have a *value twin pack* on offer for £1.22, yet their single packs are £0.50. so you ignore the *Value Pack*, buy 2 single packs and save £0.22!!

Jeesh!!!!!! I should be in marketing.........

It's time for a clear out

I need to get rid of some *things I'll just hang on to in case I need them* You know, you keep them for years and the only time you really need them is the day you got rid of them!!

So, it's off to the recycling yard with half my possessions. Just hope I can fit them all in the car!

Ah well, space is getting scarce around here so maybe it is time for a clean sweep!!

Once that is done , it will be back to planting. I have a whole bunch of plants in pots that really should be put in the ground.

Then I need to trim my bush, errrr, Buddlia, or Butterfly Bush, and my Leylandii needs a trim too!

It's making me tired just thinking about it. I think I'll just have a wee dram or four to help me.

Cheers.

A Day Out With SWMBO

Tuesday was a lovely day out, we went to Willow Pool Garden Centre to get some gardening ideas. I bought a grapevine!!

We had lunch in one of those Rondavaal things. So quiet and peaceful. It is certainly a great place to visit!

Where have all the fishes gone?

I have decided to remove the aquarium widget since the company behind it say they will insert ads unless I go Pro. Since this would involve me paying them $39.99 for the privilege of not having their adverts, (I think they should pay me if they wish to advertise on my site!) I just removed it.

Saturday Night's Alright...

My other Nephew, Paul and his Wife came up from Devon for a quick visit. They stopped by my home on Saturday for a chat. Paul and I were drinking Penderyn, a great Welsh whisky, and I introduced his wife to the fruity delights of Beringer Zin!

Then it was off to the pub to meet up with the rest of the tribe where we stopped a few beers from going bad!

Next was a barbeque follwed by a lot more beer and wine, finishing up back at my place for a couple of whiskies and more Zin.

Sunday snuck by without notice!!!!

Today, suitably sober and refreshed, I shall be picking the first of my Summer Fruits (if I can beat the snails and birds!). Yep, the first of my Strawberries are ready at last!! Bring on the fresh cream! Mmmmmmmmmm!

Cheers! (Hic!)

A Public Apology....

...to Roses

I replied to a comment made by Roses to my post: The final Hurdle for my Vacation.

My intention in my reply was to emphasise certain points, however, being the complete idiot that I am, I made the emphasis in *UPPERCASE* which would have the effect of shouting.

This could also have had the effect of upsetting Roses, for which I am truly sorry.

I do NOT set out to upset anybody, either on my blog or in real life.

Roses, if I did upset you in any way, then I am truly sorry and hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.
