A farmers toast!

Let the wealthy and great, Roll in splendour and state, I envy them not i declare it, I eat my own lamb, My chickens and ham, I shear my own fleece and i wear it, I have lawns,I have bowers, I have fruits,I have flowers, The lark is my morning alarmer, So joyful boy's now, Here's god speed the plough, Long life and success to the farmer!!

A word from........

Today i had to go out!!!! dah daaaa!!!!! I know it 's weird only 6 monthes ago i was going out every day dressed up to work. But now i really have to build myself up to leaving bodran! i save as many errands as i can, i let the cupboards run bare, so i have to go.. the thought of doing my hair [which i did and cricked my neck first time this year but that'll be £50!! to have it clicked i hate it..] putting on some tutti and wearing something other than combats and huge tops and walking boots puts the fear of god in me!! but i did it,
! ! back went the late library books with a £1.20 fine! letters posted, tax disc got ,how boring , had a decent lunch in the new italian with sorrel and colin a tad over priced though but a nice waiter..
The rain fall here as been pathetic and we need it, we purchased 6 more very large containers last week which we have placed strategicaly around the place to make the most use of gravity to feed the water down to us " SO COME ON RAIN WE'RE WAITING".. i know i'll rain dance hhhheeeyyyyaaaaaaa hhhhhhhheeeeeeeyyyyaaaaaa .... oop's no not good for the neck ,,,,we'll i'm off to sit with a hot sausage around my neck now...xxxx seeya'll at the partyxx

  2. Sorry think I've got your rain too. Had it on and off all day. I know what you mean about getting out, it all seems such a faff. Let us know a bit more about how your courses are going. Toady

  4. Ditto Eden. Hope you get more. Sorry about your neck - £50 as well. Know what you mean about getting dressed to go out - I forget how sometimes.

  5. Ah, sorry, rain here too..... Bloody ramblers - grrrr.....
    And know exactly what you mean about going out - if I don't do it for a few days I lose the habit....and I need a trip to the hairdressers too, I'm not fit to be seen at the moment. Crikey, expensive neck-crickers up your neck (ugh) of the woods....ours are thirty quid. Love to Monty.xxxx

  6. Oh I am so glad you blogged this. I get to the point where I dread going out and come up with all sorts of excuses. Once I am out I am fine, but I love my home and where I live and could quite happily give up 'going out'!

  8. Im with you on the neck. I sleep with a sausage shaped pillow and it does help. Also one of those wheat filled pillow things you heat in the microwave - they seem to help. Have got you rain, and yesterday. Im a bit like you - save lots of things up so you have to go out. My neck lady is cheaper at £32.00, but still heck of a lot if you have to go regularly.

  11. Just had to reply re your comments on mine - they made me weep with laughter not good when my editor calls and wonders what the heck is going on. There again should have been working. In answer to your question...yes I did and he was - but a tad expensive...however, it was quality!
