Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!
Sorry about yesterday, full details later!
Now, Eric is in deep poo with The Missus 'cos he had a chew of one of her very expensive Craft Mats!
He is in such deep poo that she is thinking of having another 'Ferret Raffle' however, this time it won't be a bottle of giggle juice as a prize, it will be a ferret called Eric!
She can be soooo Hard sometimes!
We took Eric out with us this morning 'cos the sun was shining and there were some lovely clouds up in the sky and we know that both Old Two Legs and Eric love clouds, well the pair of them stand there with their noses pointing skywards and saying things like .....'Oh! That one looks like a ferret!'
Daft or wot?

Yesterday OTL got involved in searching for roots of a nasty plant that has managed to kill off a load of water plants we had in the garden pond. To begin with, OTL dug up enough of this plant roots to half fill a Wheelie Bin and after leaving the ground for a week or two he went back to see if he could find any more, which he did!
So, yesterday he was digging and sorting and chasing roost all over the place. By the time he got indoors he was moaning about his aching back and burnt neck and sore fingers where he had been digging and poking and pulling stuff out of the ground!
After clearing everything away and eating dinner, he fell asleep until it was time to go to bed!
So, that's the reason I didn't appear yesterday!

| It looked like this yesterday! |
It was interesting to see just how many insects there were visiting or hiding under the rocks. Plus of course, frogs!
There were small, medium and largish frogs diving into the pond when OTL got too near with the garden fork or rake!
We were also visited by butterfly's from the plants next door!
 |
| Eh! Got anything worth eating here? |
 |
| Half way through digging out the 'Water Margin' section. |
Using his trusty mallet, he created a gap in the earth lining and slowly the water trickled in and we had a good patch of wet stuff that could be planted with reeds and water type plants!
 |
| I declare this dam formally Breached! |
All of which us woofers do not like!
 |
| Well, they look pretty but taste like Yuk! |
See you tomorrow.
Luv,
Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
Yo maties. I did miss you yesterday. Poor OTL, if he shouted me I could have come down and helped him, I'm good at getting rid of plants. Now as for blackberries, yummmmmmmy, I love them and I'd munch them. Now is everyone sure that it was little Eric who chewed up the crafting mat, are there any witnesses? Tell Mrs TM we'll have some tickets for the ferret raffle, my mum don't mind holes. Smashing pictures today. I'm off to bed in a minute because we're up early for work. Have there been any fisticuffs or is all calm in Ferret Tower? Have a lovely evening all, love, licks, wags and sniffs from little Arch and the Nippers xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteYou were so late that I had given up and also it was Margaret's birthday and she arrived at 8-30 pm after going to church! They have a new Vicar who was being "swarn in" I don't suppose they actually sware but the Archbishop went and declared the new Vicar "IN" and they all ate yummy things including two cakes that Margaret made. So after all that she arrived to open her presents and have cup of tea by the time we had watched the recording of Antiques Roadshow I completly forgot that I hadn't read your missing Diary.
ReplyDeleteOTL has been very busy, I don't know how he does it at his age, shhh, don't you dare tell him I said that but he is very fit for 105 years old. The pond seemed in quite a bit of trouble but OTL will sort it out and make it even better than it was. Pretty visiting butterfly, much better than that invading pond plant, let's hope it is OTL 10 visa POND PLANT 1, just a thought maybe Archie would like it for his birthday. We picked blackberries last week in Tunbridge Wells and we like them even if you and Holly don't, Archie likes them because they are forbidden fruit. Now that Craft Mat I saw a picture of it on faceache and thought it rather artistic, you could see there was a sense of order it wasn't just roughed up a bit. Find another like that, you will be hard pressed and its value must have gone up tenfold.
Lovely pictures, the pond is really looking good, really beautiful no wonder you get all the visitors to it. Have a good day and I will look later to see if you have been back and read my comment. xxxxxx
