Iam really worried about our propane gas,Rose. Some of the smaller companies are running out and cant get anymore and those of us that can the price is going to double or tripple
3:43 am
puglet
will have to look the meaning of that up OO
3:43 am
grannyrose
oh, pugs, that is not good. and i am guessing there is no alternative, right?
3:44 am
grannyrose
o-o...that's a word?
3:45 am
puglet
not unless I go buy a woodstove in which I dont have the money to
3:45 am
puglet
that word is not in my dict.(which as you can guess is a old one)
3:46 am
puglet
I suppose I could get a barrel and build a fire in it in the middle of the house--lol
3:47 am
o-o
pug, highlight the word, right click on it and click on the search option
3:48 am
puglet
OO is there a propane shortage there------okay

I ashame to say I dont know how to highlight OO :(
3:52 am
grannyrose
pugs, put your cursor just to the left of the word, then hold down the left click as you slide across the word.
3:54 am
puglet
got it! I feel so dumb sometimes-but I learned 2 new things
3:55 am
grannyrose
it works the other way too, start from the right side of the word, hold down the left click while you slide to the left. your word should be now high-lighted. then as o-o said, right click
3:55 am
grannyrose
not dumb, pugs. like me, technologically challenged.
3:56 am
puglet
I had a little arrow that came up and had to click that but I got the word
3:57 am

maybe so OO, but it would of tooken all day
5:48 am

are they animals native to your area Liz
5:49 am
Lizlin
Yes - kangaroos, koalas, water dragons etc. The sanctuary mainly has indigenous animals - often rehabilitates sick animals.
5:51 am
puglet
are water dragons like lizzard or crocs
5:51 am
Lizlin
Water dragons are like lizards - all different sizes but mainly about half a metre in length.
5:52 am
Lizlin
There were loads of them about today.
5:52 am
puglet
do they range in different colors
5:53 am
Lizlin
They are quite colourful themselves but mainly greenish - often have red bellies. Lots were shedding their old skins today and the new skins were quite bright.
5:55 am
Lizlin
Actually more of a yellowish green and a bit stripy!
5:56 am
puglet
is there lots of them near your home where they get inside
5:57 am
Lizlin
They all over here - not near our house though. See lots of them when we drive about though. You can google Australian Water Dragon and then look at the images. There are some good pics.
5:58 am
Lizlin
We do have small lizards in our garden and geckos which are outside and in the house too! But they eat flies and mosquitos, so I don't mind them.

7:33 am
Wolvie
hi sue :-)
7:33 am
suefrad625
why we gather milk, eggs, & bread when it snows: Yes, we make fun of each other for rushing to the store at the first mention of snow or ice and buying all the milk, eggs and bread we can get our hands on.
But do you know WHY we do it?
Way back in the day, when NC and other states were true agriculture states, the farmers knew if a bad winter storm came in, they may not be able to get to the barns and chicken coops to milk the cows and collect the eggs. Both items are needed for making bread (remember, no wonder bread back then, LOL)
So before the storm they would do all of the chores with fervor, trying to gather enough of the supplies to last them awhile- just in case, they couldn't get to the animals to tend to it, and to feed their family.
See, there is a reason for our madness, you just have to look back a couple generations.

sue, our Mennonite communities still hold to the old tradition of keeping 6 months of food on hand at all times(that which can be home canned or dry stored or root cellared) and rotate it accordingly
7:37 am
suefrad625
I love that. I keep about 3 months but I get it from the store. Times are bad and I want to know the kids are cared for
7:38 am
crosshair
but rotation is key. My beloved used to clean for a lady who slipped into hoarding mode and there were all these exploded cans of soup and stew in the cellar

i did the math once last year on 48 pint jars with lids, rings, etc and 48 quart jars plus the equipmet, sue, and for season one it will cost twice per unit over store can veggies. In year two however, since you have all the jars etc, the cost falls to 50% of store canned food

Thanks, Sue. I must replace a battery in my scale and see if I lost any weight. Snowshoeing is intense exercise.
8:08 am
uusue2
it is indeed! I did some when I lived in New Mexico (back in the 1970s)
8:08 am
crosshair
i tossed my scale out two years ago, scrabby. I exercise the best i can doing activities i love. i try to eat foods that are good for me (and cut back on the bacon) i quit the smokes in 2002 and drink in moderation, so, for me, the number is what it is. i just try and be the healthiest me i can be without sweating the numbers. life is too darn short for that
8:09 am

they have enough snow for snowshoeing in new mexico?

Coyotes? As in the canine version and the human trafickers.
8:11 am
uusue2
not many of them - too high for rattlesnakes, too dry for much else. There are some coyotes but they mostly leave people alone
8:11 am

no i don't mind about coyotes

Lizards? Cacti?

Hi Hurshy and Judi

Hiya, Scrabbs.

lots of cacti, and pinon and ponderosa pine. Never saw a lizard but maybe they are shy.

Lizards are probably at a lower altitude with the snakes. Just as well.

proper flu, ladies. It really lies you low and takes well over three weeks to get over and then leaves you depressed. You have my sympathy even if I cannot supply potato soup or hot chocolate.
3:50 pm

3:50 pm
Soodle
Lol, Harp. Lil, I've had this dose since before Christmas. It comes. It goes. Right now, its here.
3:50 pm
JenMO16
this economy is bad
3:51 pm
harpjane
I'm giving this sucker three days max.
3:52 pm
Soodle
Nope, Jaxx. I've had the flu. A flu that prevented me from putting my feet on the floor outta the bed. What I have now is a nasty old virus, but not debilitating.
3:53 pm
jaxx7
Flu is a virus!
3:53 pm
lilliann
ty jax.i'm sick of taking flu remedy tablets that don't work.my sinuses and ears aren't good which doesn't help my menieres and then i've had a bad stomach and stititus, so i'm feeeeeling reeallly good:)

lilliann

3:56 pm
lilliann
i hope you are finally getting better Soodle.flu and other viruses aren't nice.sending a sneezy hug your way:D
3:57 pm
Soodle
Lol. As long as I can get out of the bed, I know that the worst of the day is over. From the moment my feet touch the floor, it's a count-down till I can get back to bed. 10, 9, 8,7, ........
3:57 pm
lilliann
i'm lucky i have my pre-menstrual bairn to cheer me up :))
3:58 pm
jaxx7
I find the flu remedies that include phenahydrin make my tinnitus and vertigo worse. So bad indeed the doc thought it was Menieres. Try stopping the flu meds and make honey and lemon drinks instead.
3:59 pm
jaxx7
perhaps the PM stricken one could get you fresh lemons and honey if you don't have them at home.
3:59 pm
Soodle
<------ seriously contemplating a honey/lemon/whiskey elixir!
4:00 pm

Now you're talking, but not with flu meds of course.

i'm usually pretty healthy so I don't like to make a big deal out of it.....
4:05 pm
lilliann
it must be crossy as i had vertigo for years with other problems and it took them 3 years to decide that i had menieres aswell as type of migrain which makes me pass out and i can't remember the name of it....bloddy memory(excuse swearing)
4:06 pm
lilliann
lol soodle! i feel sorry for you one is enough!!
4:07 pm
Soodle
Ooooooh, yes, Jilly, indeed I did. And, be warned. When, eventually, a Babble meet up takes place here in Ireland, every Babbler is going to be MAD jealous!
4:07 pm
jaxx7
Hemi plegic migraine, Lil, mimics a stroke. is that the name you are looking for?
4:07 pm

harpjane
all this talk about colors is making me woozy
4:11 pm
crosshair
i would see a Dr. about that,jilly:)
4:11 pm
lilliann
no Jax, i can't think of the name if it, it stops oxygen going into the back of your head, which is what i was told, i stopped taking the tablets a few years ago.i might remember it it soon
4:11 pm
lilliann
i hope you feel better soon harp
4:11 pm
JenMO16
there is no wa, harp
4:11 pm
Soodle
I CANNOT believe it. All this talk...., so I decide that I actually deserve a hot whiskey. I go into the sitting room - and there I find an empty bottle of whiskey. I don't blooming drink the stuff! Heads will roll in the morning!
4:12 pm
harpjane
sorry, wi5/20?
4:12 pm
crosshair
Lillian, if you have any insight on what we should be asking our dr. to persue in regards to this vertigo, i would appreciate you sending me your thoughts to my e-mail addy
4:13 pm
jaxx7
I have classic migraine with auras and blind spots which developed into hemiplegic migraines once I had the kids. the kids themselves didn't help.
4:13 pm
harpjane
I had vertigo for a couple of years. It was awful. It still comes back every how and then, but just for a couple of days.
4:13 pm
crosshair
though we do need to make an apt for the x-ray and ct results next week
4:14 pm

4:15 pm
harpjane
WI5/20 OR I HURT THE BUNNY!
4:16 pm
jaxx7
Has your good lady had the treatment that consists of lying down on a trolley with the head over the end. The doctor holds the head up and then lets it drop - fairly gently. It is supposed to 'cure' 95% of vertigo sufferers. Something to with the nerves in the neck and ears.
4:16 pm
crosshair
i go the other way, molly. i leave a beer or 2 for my 19 year old in the fridge. that way he leaves my 15 year old whiskey alone;)
4:16 pm
lilliann
all i can say crossy, is just tell your doctor everything that your wife suffers from, even if you don't think it'll mean anything
4:16 pm
Soodle
Scoff all you want, Molly, but this is serious!!!! It was a bottle of Tullamore Dew!!! The bloody philistines probably drank it when all the cheap nasty stuff was gone. I'm outraged!
4:17 pm
jaxx7
Any brandy or rum, Soodle?
4:17 pm
harpjane
nobody cares about bunnies?
4:17 pm
crosshair
jaxx, she has complained about neck soreness, stiffness and cracking of late. may try that and various massage and see if it eases things
4:18 pm
JenMO16
yeah, I found a 7
4:18 pm
crosshair
mmmm, love that tullamore dew commercial where the brother is getting married
4:18 pm
lilliann
i would give you the bottles that hubby got from Ireland and scotland but he gave them to my dad and father-in-law soodle. 2 of the bottles were £60 odd pounds worht but hubby got them cheaper because of being a driver
4:18 pm
MollyL
Not scoffing at all. Unattended, unlocked up whiskey will be gotten into by the under 20 group. Anyone who will leave you with an empty tank of gas will drink your last drops of good liquor.
4:19 pm
crosshair
as a teen, we used to water down my das whiskey do he would not notice the level dropping in the bottle
4:19 pm
jaxx7
Sounds as if it could be arthritis of the vertebrae in her neck. It traps the nerves leaving the cervical vertebrae and causes vertigo and other problems.
4:19 pm
crosshair
well,the ct will show if any of that is developing i hope
4:19 pm
ChrissieDee
Jaxx that sounds like the treatment for BVVP vertigo. Worked a treat for my mum. Google it crossy.
4:20 pm
Soodle
Sorry. I can't answer anybody. I'm too upset/outraged/busy planning revenge!
4:20 pm
crosshair
will do.any information is good information because when the dr throws up his hads and says "i have no idea" it is time to become proactive in your own treatment
4:20 pm
harpjane
come guys, every time harp jane goes to morewords, a bunny dies....
4:20 pm

4:51 pm
MollyL
L, my husband was a history major and knew more about American history than most people we visited DC with.
4:52 pm
lilliann
i think you'd enjoy his company and sense of humour crossy and he'd be happy to tell someone that doesn't yawn at what he knows, as in the bairn
4:52 pm
crosshair
i must fly back soon. Both my parents are of welsh heratige though they lived and i was born in Watford. We came to Canada in 1966
4:53 pm
crosshair
my last U.K passport went totally unused. a shame
4:54 pm
lilliann
was that a good thing or bad thing molly?
4:54 pm
MollyL
It was a great thing. He was fascinating to tour the monuments and historical sites with because he knew so much back story about them.
4:55 pm
lilliann
mine are welsh,geordies and Scottish crossy. i'm actually related to Howard Hughes, a shame we never got any of his money!!
4:56 pm
crosshair
lol, he was a little bit off his tin shelf anyways:)
4:56 pm
lilliann
i must admit i do enjoy the stories my husband tells me but sadly i don't remember alot of them
4:58 pm
lilliann
yes he was crossy. he was my great grand mother's nephew i think.the money was tied up in loads of companies and he lived in the dessert and the house was covered in a sheet because he was afraid of bacteria
4:58 pm
crosshair
lol, looking at your hair and freckles, lilliann. be you have a firey ole temper hehe. i promise not to pinch your Tullamore dew like soddles family did:)

5:07 pm
lilliann
i'd be happy to get to 80 crossy so 104 is great.yes i can do crossy but my bairn has a hotter temper than me, so that is probably why we don't get on so much because of our red hair!! :)
5:09 pm
72 Temple Owl
did i hear peeps? :)
5:11 pm
lilliann
what's the american version molly? all i know is that all the paper work my family had saying that nwe were related was burnt by some stupid wife of one of my nan's nephews.she saw papers and thought they were boring and put them in the fire, but at the end of the day, whether he was famous or not, i'm related to the man.i just want to know my family history i'm not bothered about money.life and family mean more to me than money
5:11 pm
lilliann
hi TO :)
5:12 pm
crosshair
we had a rich person in the family. My gramma's sister. her and my dad hated each other. think she left all her money to her cat.
5:12 pm
72 Temple Owl
hey cheeky
5:14 pm
lilliann
i've cared for people who have left there money to cats and dogs homes crossy.at the end of the day, you can choose your friends but not your family
5:14 pm
lilliann
How are you TO?
5:14 pm
72 Temple Owl
i am ok, and you?
5:16 pm

5:22 pm
lilliann

5:22 pm
lilliann
sending squishy hugs to you TO :)
5:24 pm
72 Temple Owl
:) i am sure. i think i shouid thing about cooking, since i was too lazy to do so last night or i would have leftovers.
5:28 pm
lilliann
leftovers are ok.the bairn and i cooked chinese tonight.we had pork,spring onions,mushrooms,red and yellow bel;l peppers with rice noodles,beansprouts and hoisin and garlic.it was nice to do something together.
5:29 pm
stidgmere
Hello all. Just getting started today. My husband and I went to a large sporting goods store and bought a new pair of binoculars for bird watching. The old pair was never the same after my husband cleaned them to get moisture out.
5:30 pm
stidgmere
We shall have leftovers, too. I think I'll cook noodles to go with them today.
5:30 pm
72 Temple Owl
sounds yummy
5:30 pm
72 Temple Owl
i need some binos.
5:31 pm
lilliann
HI gmere:) lovely to see you.my f.i.l likes to bird watch and when the bairn was younger he would take her.they both have a set of binoculars
5:32 pm
72 Temple Owl
hi, gmere. my pc is acting out, so i may suddenly disappear.
5:32 pm
72 Temple Owl
we had small ones that were plenty powerful but i think i lost them in the divorce.
5:32 pm
stidgmere
google has been temperamental here in the great Northwest.
5:33 pm
lilliann
it was To and we had shop bought sesame prawn toast to go with it
5:33 pm
stidgmere
We saw canvasback ducks here for the first time in over 30 years we've been watching the inlet.
5:33 pm
lilliann
that's a shame TO
5:33 pm
72 Temple Owl
do you have a reipe, lil? i never think of using pork for chinese. i was making pepper steak tonight.
5:34 pm
stidgmere
we thought at first they were scaups but realized the backs were too white for them so with our old binoculars and bird book identified them. Without binoculars I can tell you there are ducks on the water.
5:34 pm
lilliann
i don't know canvasback ducks gmere
5:34 pm
72 Temple Owl
just bought seame oil and rice venegar to expand my options.
5:34 pm
MollyL
Those are pretty ducks Gran Mere
5:34 pm
lilliann
it's a made up recipe TO
5:35 pm
stidgmere
Sounds really good, TO. I've been adding fresh ginger and mushrooms to oriental dishes lately.
5:35 pm
stidgmere
Yes, Molly, they are and they are often over in the next inlet, but never by us before!
5:36 pm
lilliann
i'll put it in my profile if you like TO. i would normally add some fresh gingert but i didn't have any
5:36 pm
72 Temple Owl
they sure are. i cannot stand this pc one more minute, going now and bbl. ty, lil
5:37 pm
stidgmere
I love looking in the pantry and frig and pulling out combinations on-hand for our dinners, Lilliann.
5:45 pm
Jillyjill
Hello again babbleworld! It is SNOWING heavily here. *happy dance*
5:46 pm
stidgmere
Well, you know about snow and won't be taken aback like the Atlantans.
5:46 pm
Jillyjill
Not at all...LOL
5:52 pm
stidgmere
I hope to have a quiet night here at home. Last evening was orchestra and I was amazingly wretched on the piano. Could not get the notes, rhythm, anything correct. One of those perfect storms of which we seem to have more of. I think it is due to the global warming.
5:54 pm
Jillyjill
LOL, gotta remember that excuse!
5:55 pm
stidgmere
I try to stay current and have timely reasons for whatever happens. I had an aunt who blamed all natural disasters on the "atomic" bombs.
5:58 pm
mab
james thurber had an aunt who believed electricity (which was new) leaked from outlets and caused havoc.
5:59 pm
stidgmere
Ah, loved James Thurber. Great cartoons. Lightness among the stout.
5:59 pm
mab
i adore thurber
6:00 pm
mab
still makes me laugh.
6:01 pm
MollyL
*Laughs at Gran Mere's global warming comment*
6:01 pm
mab
as does dickens's pickwick papers. must have an old sense of humor (as opposed to soul)
6:03 pm
stidgmere
I need to renew my acquaintance with Pickwick Papers. My mother loved Dickens and was always on speaking terms with all of his works.
6:06 pm
Jillyjill
Wow....gotta take my statement back..just watched ne4/8 footage about traffic accidents in MN...
6:08 pm
stidgmere
People seem to think business as usual when conditions are really not that forgiving.
6:09 pm
MollyL
People also seem to think they are invincible in their SUVs and 4-wheel drives and they are not.
6:11 pm
Jillyjill
Lots of transplants here seem to think so...makes it very scary for those of us that grew up with a healthy respect for snow and ice
6:15 pm
lilliann
i added our recipe to my profile gmere, it was for TO but if anyone else is interested, it is there. the bairn and i often just go through our cupboards and freezer and see what we can make. i think it's fun, plus uses up what we have and helps the bairn to cook
6:16 pm
lilliann
people here that have suv's and big 4x4's think that they own the roads!!
6:17 pm
Jillyjill
What a great mom-daughter activity!
6:17 pm
stidgmere
Thank you Lilliann. I do enjoy cooking and there is no such thing as too many recipes!
6:18 pm
stidgmere
What? I don't own the road? No I don't have a big SUV, I have a little car.
6:19 pm
lilliann
i should put on my profile that we made this up and so you might not like it, which is why i did say to taste along the way so you can add different things :)
6:19 pm
MollyL
I hate for food to go to waste, so I plan my meals around what is on hand to use things up before the next grocery store trip.
6:20 pm
MollyL
Any recipe that uses the word "dollop" is okay with me. I once got a recipe that said to add a few "plops" of dill relish, cracked me up.
6:21 pm
Jillyjill
<-----------!!FW!!
6:21 pm
stidgmere
The potato recipe sounds lovely for the cool winters we are having! I bought a bay tree a few years ago. It is growing within two steps of our front porch, I wish I could reach out and give you some leaves when you need them!
6:21 pm
stidgmere
Congrats, jilly!
6:22 pm
lilliann
yay!! jill :)
6:22 pm
lilliann
lol molly,i don't normally say spoonful i say a good dollop
6:23 pm
lilliann
i know you use cups over there, which i actually do have, but to us, isn't actually a cup.we would think of a teacup or bigger cup
6:23 pm
MollyL
I would love to have a bay tree. I use bay leaves in a lot of recipes.
6:24 pm
MollyL
One cup in a recipe = 8 ounces
6:24 pm
lilliann
do you mean the kartoffel soup gmere?
6:25 pm
stidgmere
Yes, kartoffel.
6:25 pm
MollyL
Kartoffel sounds like what happens when your wheelbarrow loses a wheel.
6:26 pm
lilliann
i'm going to get myself a bay tree, my neighbour has one and gives us them but then they get brittle and i don't know how to dry them properly.i prefer a fresh one to cook with
6:26 pm
lilliann
lol molly
6:26 pm
Lizlin
http://tinyurl.com/yblrxf7 Good morning. Hey Lilli - this address is a good one for converting US measurements into UK measurements. I printed it off for myself!
6:26 pm
MollyL
How are the plans coming along for your backyard garden, L?
6:27 pm
lilliann
my daughter found that recipe gmere and then we add different things to it. that's what i love about a recipe. you can add or take away
6:27 pm
Lizlin
Me L or Lilli L???
6:27 pm
lilliann
hi liz :)
6:28 pm
Lizlin
NP - we've been working on ours too!
6:29 pm
Jillyjill
Oh TY lizlin...was madly trying to figure out the conversion...which I must add, would NOT be a problem if this dang country had converted to metric years ago... *steps off soap box*
6:29 pm
lilliann
we have had a couple of people come around and look at the garden molly and they are making plans and prices.i wasn't there though, as i was lying down but other half told them what i wanted. i will wait and see what they have and if i don't like it i will change it as sometimes i think husband doesn't quite get what i want
6:30 pm
lilliann
tyvm for the conversion liz :)
6:30 pm
lilliann
liz, molly always calls me L
6:31 pm
Jillyjill
Well, off to dinner...thanks for the recipe Lillian.... *poof*
6:31 pm
lilliann
enjoy jill and yvw
6:32 pm
lilliann
what are you doing to yours liz?
6:32 pm
Lizlin
Have a good evening Jilly.
6:33 pm
stidgmere
Have a pleasant evening. I'm going to wander off for a little while.
6:33 pm
lilliann
bye gmere, it was lovely to see you and tc hin :)
6:33 pm
Lizlin
Landscaping a steep slope, which is a total heat trap in the summer. Using driftwood to create terraces. Slow process because it's too hot to work down there at this time of year. Also struggle to find plants, even indigenous, which can tolerate the heat.
6:33 pm
MollyL
I have seen a couple of really nice, raised bed gardens L. I hope yours turns out just the way you want it.
6:34 pm
Lizlin
Bye stidg. Enjoy your evening.
6:34 pm
Lizlin
Me too - have seen some lovely raised bed gardens. Years ago Alan Titchmarsh did a lovely raised garden on Groundforce.
6:34 pm
lilliann
i'm loving the driftwood, i was thinking of railway sleepers but not so easy or cheap to get here as they were
6:37 pm
lilliann
it will either be on 2 or 3 levels with ramps and then i will have raised beds on the outside hopefully(that's what i want) and then either one or two raised beds as in square shaped in the middle so i can get all the way around them
6:37 pm
Lizlin
At least the driftwood here is free - there are a couple of places that we go every so often to find it. Love railway sleepers but agree they're expensive.
6:38 pm
Lizlin
That sounds lovely. Really hope it works out for you. Looking forward to seeing pics at some time in the future.
6:39 pm
lilliann
i want my small summer house at the bottom in the corner so i can get to it in my chair and then i will have space for my glass table and chairs somewhere on one of the platforms.i will show pics when it is done.
6:39 pm
Lizlin
Does the area get much sun or is it shaded?
6:40 pm
lilliann
ty liz, me too.i really want to get into my back garden. it's been about 4/5 years since i have.that's why it looks such a mess!
6:40 pm
lilliann
it's sunny all the time from early morning til early evening
6:40 pm
Lizlin
Fireworks!
6:40 pm
lilliann
there isn't much shade in the summer
6:41 pm
Lizlin
Sounds idyllic!
6:41 pm
lilliann
yay! wtg Liz!! :D
6:41 pm
Lizlin
Ours is getting overgrown with stuff growing from dropped birdseed! Our fault for feeding the birds!
6:42 pm
lilliann
it is but i would like some shade, but to be quite truthful i like to be in the front yard int he summer as the school is out and it is quieter in the front than the back but it's on a slope so not so good
6:43 pm
lilliann
we do the same liz with the birds and i'm going to have to get rid of a hedge which the small birds love as i put lard balls in it so the big birds can't get it
6:43 pm
Lizlin
Now, showing how out of touch I've become with England over 5 years! Can you get shade-cloth / sail cloth over there? It's a big thing here for providing shade in back gardens or over drives.
6:44 pm
Lizlin
Our neighbours got rid of loads of trees a couple of weeks ago, including a mango tree, which overhung our garden :(
6:44 pm
lilliann
well, i probably could if i went to a boat shop but it would be very expensive, i would think
6:45 pm
Lizlin
Here it's sold in the equivalent of Homebase or B & Q.
6:45 pm
lilliann
i have 2 big fir trees and i have loads of birds nesting in them every year and my husband wants to get rid of them but i won't as there aren't many trees around here and i love seeing the birds
6:45 pm
Lizlin
Might be worth looking into so you could create a shady area by your summer house.
6:46 pm
lilliann
oh ok, i'll look in them and see
6:46 pm
Lizlin
We also love watching the birds and to quote Titchmarsh, built a water feature so they could drink and splash about. And they do!
6:47 pm
MollyL
Why does your husband want to get rid of trees? Horrors!
6:47 pm
lilliann
i have a bird bath and bought something from lidls which has hanging posts and a water bath
6:48 pm
Lizlin
Just looked at B & Q - they have something called greenhouse shading, which is similar and could probably be used.
6:49 pm
Lizlin
Shade cloth ---- http://tinyurl.com/lj8p5hd
6:50 pm
Lizlin
Anyway it's that type of stuff.
6:51 pm
lilliann
for me molly.where the trees are over hang our patio at the moment so i need it built up to our patio doors and he thinks that they'll need to be chopped down so i can have a wall built around the patio but i don't.all that will be needed is, that a few of the bottom branches that are dead anyway can be lobbed off and so more trunk will be shown but the majority of the tree will be saved and the birds can remain and i cvan still have a retaining wall for me to plant in and so i don't fall over the patio :)
6:51 pm
Lizlin
http://tinyurl.com/l4jngxp ----- Looks better as it
6:52 pm
Lizlin
it's specifically shade cloth
6:52 pm
lilliann
ty liz will write it down and look later. i did and may just have a pergola put up and then train something over it inthe summer
6:52 pm
Lizlin
I'm sure you'll sort it! I was just curious about whether you could get it in England.
6:53 pm
Lizlin
Time for me to go - take care, both of you.
6:53 pm
lilliann
i will definitely look into it, thank you liz and tc hin :)
