Having a better day.

Well I seem to be having a much better day today...My knees and right hip didn't ache so much today and I managed 3 hours out on the nursery with only a couple of short breaks for a brew I got loads achived too...I planted seeds and re-potted quite a few plants and top dressed some plants as well, they do look better now..
I only had my and pills this morning and I've just had them again now and I feel pretty good too...

My back is a little sore tonight but should be ok after a reasonable nights sleep...

I didn't have such a good night last night...My head was full of lots of ideas of this that John could make for me and how I was going to plan out my office next week...well the frame will be up next week and maybe the floor will be put in too....Well that's a start.....

I hope that if the weather stays like it has been today (nice and sunny) My arthritis might not play up to much and I will get plaenty done this week...

Anyway I am quite high sprited to night not sure why, prehaps it's because I got loads done outside today...

I hope I can keep this up... I really could do with out another flair up this week...

I will be lloking after Edward again tomorrow as John will be out all day at the unit...Me and Ewdard are going in to town to do a little shopping then we'll have some lunch no doubt Edward will probably need a sleep in the afternoon...we think he;s growing again...

And of course I'll look forward to John coming home...hopefully not to late as he has another meeting tomorrow night....

Back to me...I'm going to have agood week \I've decided I could do with a full good week...Not just a few good days...so I'll be taking my pills every day so I shouldn't get to much trouble or pain...I'll just have to wait and see...I hope I carry on like today...I really didn't have a lot of pain unti I had finished...

The Back Garden Nursery Part 3

New month new page for the nursery...and were busy,busy,busy!!!
It's been a lovely quite warm day so far so I've spent most of the afternoon outside on the nursery as I could see there were lots of little jobs to be done...

I've made a frame and covered it with protection fleece to warm up the soil a bit so I can get a few seedlings planted  at the end of the week ...

 I've had to pot up another batch of bolotto beans as they've out grown there pots again...They do grow so quick....

I've also sown some more stripped courgette seeds and pumpkin seeds as well as some gypsophylla seeds for the summer for cutting flowers...

I've also planted my potato's in the 2nd vegetable patch so I will have to keep a look out for there shoots so I can kept them covered with soil until May when they the leaves can then grow above the ground...as before the end of may we may just get a few more frosts which might not do them to good....

There are so many seedlings that need planting out, there all quite hardy now as the greenhouse that they are growing now is un-heated so they get used to our climate quite quickerly....once out in that greenhouse.....

Hopefully I'll be able to get back out there tomorrow afternoon as I'm at the unit all morning....

And I know I still have a few summer bulbs to pot up and I'm sure there will be more things to pot on...
But hopefully not the bolotto beans again tomorrow (joking).......

The Last Day in Feb. 2011

Monday 28th Feb.

I can not believe that were at the end of Feb already....Were has this month gone ?...  I just wish the time would slow down...I have so much to do but getting less and less time to do it in... I know that the days are getting longer and in a few weeks time bristish summer time begins again..

.I need more hours in the day...I make lists of what needs to be done each day and yes most days the jobs all get done...tomorrow I have the lounge to sweep, hoover and mop...and the kitchen floor to wash and not doubt there'll be more washing for me to do....i done one load today....but I'm sure John and Edward will fill the basket up over night they do some times....

Wednesday is going to be another busy day, one of John's customers is coming to collect some of his order, and knowing what he's like will probably order more items too...I've got to take him over to the unit...soI'll have the land rover all day....

We have some equipment arriving on Wednesday too, a bag sealer and emergency lighting...
John of course will be busy all week making grp horses and hopefully a cold frame for me....
As well and some decorative beading and he said he might just start on the J40 Austin car this week, there going to be made in to pedal cars and Edward is getting one specially made just for him....
John  wants to make one for me as a garden planter i'm not quite sure where it will go as I am running out of display space for this year....

Anyway March will be here in a few hours well almost 8 hours.......Lady Sarah.

Edward in his new hat.....

We're up and Running in the Unit.

Saturday 26th Feb.

Well we're now up and running and getting very busy...well John  is...And there are a lot more orders coming in daily....John's up there again today...getting a horse master mould made....
We've got a very busy week again next week and customers are starting to come and collect.

We've had a few deliveries to this week, rolls of grp mating and gelcoat pigment have all arived...So we can now have different coloured moulds, we have black,white,red,yellow,blue and green...And John is also busy designing me a fibreglass coldframe, which I hope to eventually sell on my website....and ebay...

Next week the new work benches are going to be ordered and shelving for storage too as we're going to need somewhere to put all our moulds....

And as I've just had a few bad days with my knees and right hip again...this damp weather is not helping...
I've had to have a couple of days of rest...I got really bad on thursday and wasn't much better yesterday...

Hopefully things will get better for me over the next week....If the weather improves....
Anyway John has got loads to do in the next few days, although he has said that he will not be working tomorrow, so we might go of out somewhere for the day...that would be nice...

John  has got me some paperwork to do for him next week...as I have offered to do all that sort of thing for him as he's not so good at it, and well I am as I have all the paperwork to do on the nursery...

John is quite excited about the prospect of what we can eventually achive with the new company and there is so much more we can make....

Yet Another Sleepless Night

It's now Tuesday 22nd Feb at 1-50am 

I'm having yet another sleepless night, but I decided that I'm better off downstairs so I don't disturb John .....and I can get on the internet with no interruptions.....I'm in quite a bit of pain again in my back and right hip which isn't helping...
I should be tired as I did quite a bit for John up at the unit today and moved all the moulds from one end of the unit to the other...and today, later on were off up to b & q  for some timber and pvc sheeting to build the hot room...so that all the moulds can dry out a bit quicker.....
I don't know why I'm wide a wake...
I had a sleeping pill  and hour before I went up to bed and they usually knock me out, but not tonight....obviously....

I'm getting really fed up  with this I've had two reasonable nights sleep and now back to being wide awake again...and it's not fair on John or Edward as I do not like to keep disturbing them...

Anyway I've not heard any news for a couple of days...What is going on out there in the world I wonder?....Anymore weird weather ?......

I't's very quiet here at night except for Benji the dog snoring....he's all tucked in his bed for the night the lazy dog, he  didn't get up until gone 10am yesterday morning....Mind you neither did Edward.....

I have to say that I am quite looking forward to today...it will make the unit look better and hopefully in another couple of weeks time we will be able to start to build my office.....

I've already choosen the desk i'm having in there and computer and next week I get a catolgue which is full of storage ideas which I'll need alot of....

And the other news of the day is that very soon I'm going to start to write a horticultural book I was told about a website which publishes them for you and helps you to write them and give s you lots of info on how to write and get them printed......the website is http://www.blurb.com/
You should have a look of your interested they're printed quite cheaply too....

Anyway going to write something else now...Good day to you all where ever you are in the world...
Lady Sarah.

Another Not So Good Day

Saturday 18th Feb.

I have been having a lot of trouble again with my back and knees which are all swollen up again...as well as my right ankle...
I haven't sleep properly for 3 nights and I had to have a rest this afternoon...as I felt awful...but the rest did me some good ...And I did enjoy going to see my mother and father this evening...
Edward had a great time and ate all his dinner....I've had some more painkillers but stillfeel very achy and I think I'll be having an earlish night as we're all up at the unit in the morning.....As our friend Pete is moving his beetle in there with us....and I've got to move a lot of this around so we can get the car init's position....
I need to be ok to help out......
I have to say that for some unknown reason I've been in quite a bad mood on and off all day.....I'm feeling a little happier now.....and getting out this evening did do me some good...

Edward had a great time running around and reading his books that he keeps up there...he got a new dvd of his nanny and grandad full of nursery rhymes.......

I just hope this relapse is because of the change in the weather again as it's cold and damp outside which always seems to make my athritis worst.....
The other extreme is it flares up if it's to hot....and I don't particularly like hot weather I'm usualy ok if it's cold and frosty or mild sunny weather ......
I just hope this is not a sign of things to come...i really don't want to go back to how I was 6 months ago..Then I was in a bad way I'm still in constant pain but it's better managed now.....

Anyway just watching Mamma Mia then off to bed...great film...since last wek we've watched nearly every day..as we really like all the abba music....
Hope you all had a good day and evening where ever you are in the World...Good night....

Lady Sarah.
