An Avon call



Well it's been a while so here is a quick run down of what I have been doing.
To be honest not a lot!

The garden is beginning to bloom, there are a few clumps of snowdrops about and a couple of crocus plants. I guess that means the strimmer will be out before long, Tony usually cuts the grass when some colours begin to show.
I planted some bulbs in a big pot in the greenhouse yesterday. I have no idea what they are! Margaret gave them to me ages ago,  I came across them in the shed with long sprouting stems on them. I decided I had better plant them, so it will be interesting to see if anything grows and if so what!


The squirrels are still coming and eating everything I put out for them or running away to bury it somewhere for later. One of them is particularly fond of apples at the moment.


                                                                    Enjoying an apple





Although he did have a slight problem getting the apple, he almost fell off the table he was in such a rush to eat he had some nuts and seeds, before finally eating some apple then taking the rest and hiding up in the sycamore tree.



                       





Today we had a ride over to Barnsley to call and collect my Avon from Chris and Joanne, (she wasn't there she was at slimming world although I don't know why?)
Of course I got to see my youngest grandson Logan.
He is just about ready for crawling, his legs want to go but his arms are not quite ready for it. So when his legs move he lands flat on his face.

Life's a lot easier laying on your back, letting some one else bring everything to you.

Of course living in Barnsley you have to learn the right position for the self protection technique of 

"dropping the nut on"



I think Logan is learning that very quickly with the help of his daddy.






Now for the useless fact.
It has been a while so you can have two today,

1,

Ancient Egyptians shaved off their eyebrows
to mourn
the deaths of their cats.


2,

Christian names in the Philippines
include
Bing, Bong, Bambi, Bogie, Girlie, Peanut and Bumbum.

So some of the names you hear shouted out in town and around housing estates don't sound so bad now do they?


Until next time...
