Weekly Chat Thread July 11th-17nd of July

[Teebers]

Here's the weekly chat thread, where you can pop in and chat about anything you've been up that week - it's a nice easy place to have a catch up, especially if you're short on time. It's like twitter only crunchy!

Weellll, I was going to go to the Grand Prix on Sunday seeing that Silverstone is only a stones throw from my house and my other half is working there on security but now he's working the night shifts so there's not much point tagging along as I shan't see anything interesting. Plus it's raining. And I'm actually not that interested in motor racing anyway. So no, no big plans here.

Most disappointing story ever!

Guys guys, my country just announced a carbon tax - are you lot gonna help save the earth too or just sit and watch?!

Also, Treen and weesilvie, how is your respective painting and gardening coming along? I expect progress reports from both of you!

Also also, how are the pigs settling in ariana my friend?

Oh good work Teebs, I am impressed with you so far this week! Except don't ask me about painting, thanks. But on that note, I bet you finished off your place this weekend, right?

I love your Prime Minister, she reminds me of watching Kath and Kim!

The bubbas are settling in fine. They've met Arthur, who seems to adore them, and the three girls, who don't. Tessa is especially touchy...I should probably update my piggie thread sometime, huh? Last time I updated was before Tessa came, and that was awhile ago.

I am continuing to ignore the forests of dandelions and indeed in my garden am continuing to add to the number of pots I've got with vegetable planting - 40+ now! And also continuing to hope that the slugs and snail don't eat too many of them...

Don't talk to me about slugs weesilvie.. We pulled up our first home grown cabbage yesterday and there was a big fat juicy one hiding in the leaves! It put me right off it!!

Well a quick summary of my week... Work, work and a bit more work! Now it's the weekend and it's only blooming raining!

Good job I've got two new guineas to play with to stop me getting bored!!!

[anaira]

Ugh. Long time, no rat bite. I guess that's two neuters I'm saving for now.

weesilvie; don't ignore the dandelions! That's our herds' favourite thing! Here, we have Reuben to keep our garden in order.
