Tomorrow DH, DD2 and DD3 are out all day so I just have DS at home. He goes to Stagecoach in the afternoon. I will probably be trying to reestablish some order in my house as it's been a busy week.

On Sunday I am at church ALL DAY (9:30am - 8pm)!! Service in the morning, rehearsal in the afternoon and performance of a children's musical called Hosanna! at 6pm. This will be followed by drinks and nibbles. It'll be fun though and very rewarding.

[Fur 'n' Feathers]

We're off to the "Forties" event at the Romney Hythe & Dymchurcgh Railway and to buy some plants at Stone Green Nursery - which is more than we did when we were on leave last week as the building work prevented us doing anything else

 

Unlike Cinnamon, Our house is still not clean from the dust....but at present....with a glass of wine to enjoy.... we are really past caring this weekend

[Guest]

I love the RH+D railway. It's my absolute favourite. Have a great time!

[hillfamily]

well I'm sitting in my garden right now (the wonders of wireless technology), enjoying a nice cool bottle of ginger beer (wishing it was something stronger but I'm on some hefty painkillers at the mo ) enjoying a beautiful summer evening

[Guest]

I have the Essex meet tomorrow and then a hen party on Sunday.

 

I'll also be packing in some gardening, a trawl of the charity shops, a bike ride and a trip to the boot sale (actually might do the last 2 together!)

[missuscluck]

I do hope the weather is good here too. Its been lovley for the last few days.

 

Tommorrow wil be spent doing lifts for the kids here there and everywhere which is the norm for saturday.

 

On Sunday we are off to Himley Hall in the w. midlands to a mini show. My mini is on the club stand. The show is themed 'minopoly' this year so we are dressed up too. I am an Angel (angel islington) and dh is a judge (bow street)

 

The kids are the waterworks and the electric company!!

[Helly Welly]

That sounds fun Lynda

 

Bits and bobs to do tomorrow, then spending Sunday gardening. OH will be doing the actual work, i'll be directing

[BarbaraJ]

Tomorrow we are off to the beach , then back for a bbq at friends.

Sunday hubby is at Brans Hatch watching motorbike racing, no idea what i'm doing!

[redhotchick]

I'm going into town with my mum first thing on Saturday. We both need to buy wedding outfits for my cousin's wedding in 2 weeks time. Hopefully we'll both get sorted and have time for a nice lunch.

The rest of the weekend will be the usual gardening, cleaning the house, laundry, cleaning out the chickens. I always make time for nice food, some wine and relaxing too.

[Olly]

I'm off to the Essex meet tomorrow too! I hope someone else is going, "Ooops, word censored!"ody else has posted recently - still Pengy will be there, and I'm looking forward to meeting James and the Anti-chicken!

 

On Sunday my choir is singing at the Epping Woodland Burial Park, it's a new 'green' burial park that's just opened. We'll be singing in a lovely seven-sided wooden building, but there's an open day with lots of things on, so I might get to meet some owls!

[Cooks]

missed this yesterday, we have youngests footie match this morning and then I believe the weekend is free other than having a friend of oldests sleeping over to help his mum out, (otherswise son would not be having a sleepover with poorly thumb)

I love sitting (or laying) on my swinging chair watching the girls peck my garden away.. it's brilliant. so I want to be doing lots and lots of that if possible. (plus I think first egg is really close and I am not wanting to miss that for one second)

 

enjoy the sun everyone!

[little chickadee]

We're going to a chicken day at a local plant nursery. We went to the seaside after school yesterday for Fish and chips. It's an hour away, but it stopped the kids whinging all weekend that they wanted to go the seaside! I cant' stand hot sweaty crowds and prefer the seaside when it's nice and quiet!

[Snowy]

I've got a hen party at 10.30 and have woken up feeling as though have a hangover Unfortunately it was because I worked late last night and not because I overindulged At lunchtime my boys have a friend coming for a sleepover, so that will keep them entertained for the rest of the weekend!

[Chili]

We're off to London tomorrow as DD is dancing at the Royal Albert Hall. While she is there we are going to the Dr Who exhibition and then the Natural History Museum before taking in the show. (Hoping to slip into Harrods at some point too).

 

I'm dead excited and can't wait to go

 

Enjoy the sun everyone!!

 

Chili xx

[Egluntyne]

Sounds fantastic. Have a wonderful time.

 

What a thrill to see your DD dance at the Albert Hall.

[MedusA]

Sounds great (apart from the garlic chicken - I'm veggie with a food intolerance of garlic = nightmare!)

 

We're having a lazy day today - bit of shopping possibly but then nowt much.

 

Tomorrow we're off to an open day for a local mill then picking up our friends' chinchilla who is coming to visit for a few days whilst they are away.

 

We live such excitiing lives!

[craftyhunnypie]

We are building a little picket fence today & hanging the gate on the chicken enclosure. Shed is built & treated - it's lovely! Going to get some more chicken suppies later - feeders, drinkers, food, grit, straw etc etc.

 

But the most exciting - is that my chicks are due to hatch today. I'm watching the eggs like a hawk, waiting for them to pip.

 

Tomorrow, we are going Wernlas to pick up my 2 new girls.

 

Had a Barbeque last night, so tonight we will have tea outside again with some nice wine.

We're going to a VE Day Celebration in a nearby village this afternoon then we're popping over to Diane A's to see her hens afterwards. Really looking forward to both . A forties fix, a chicken fix and a good natter in the same afternoon . The weather is fabulous too. What more could a girl want .

[Sarah B]

It's not sunny here and I've bought all the food for a BBQ

[Mrs Frugal]

Oh dear . Maybe the sun will come out later. I remember my Dad doing a barbecue under an umbrella before when it was a novelty for us all in the 80s .

[Sarah B]

They said it won't rain so we are still going ahead - just marinating the ribs and going to make my burgers

[One Man Banned]

Didn't get round to posting yesterday, but haven't got a lot planned for the weekend - or have I?

 

Got up today and cleaned the Eglu, jet washed the patio and it's furniture, Have got to pop out and pick my car mat up from work (and wash the car while there ) as I tipped a full Mcdonalds milkshake over, so hot pressure washed it , getting ready to go the a matinee Agatha Christie performance at the Everyman in Cheltenham this afternoon. Don't have many plans for this evening tho

 

Tomorrow I'm round at Anita's I think, going to paint the fences and tidy up her garden generally, might even teak oil her outdoor furniture if I find the time

 

It's glorious here tho, glad I mowed the lawn when I got in from work yesterday tho - it's nice to wake up to a perfect lawn

I remember a perfect lawn - we had one once in the back garden before we got chickens LOL

This was a shot of the lawn the day the chickens came, two years and one week ago...

 

This was the winter after the hens came...

 

And this shot was taken last weekend, after I'd been doing up some planting....

 

Feel very proud to get a garden looking nice again, I even use the pictures at work to show customers what my mower makes the lawn look like, if they are thinking of buying the same one!
