coughs n sneezes

the fact i am writing this posting at 4am  should give a clue how i am feeling  lol.  i went to bed at 12       and woke at 3 am  coughing.  i have got a filthy cold and cough.  i called round my friend pams last friday morning  because she wanted to see me,she never told me she had a bad cold.   if she had,i wouldn't have gone round.   so not  to pleased with her.   she knows  chest infections are dangerous if you have MS       and not only that i now have to hope mum doesn't catch it.  ho well.  its getting light,and the dawn chorus is starting,  just a lightening of the sky  but that's enough for mr.blackbird.he is really giving it some  lol            obviously not got a cold  lol

i took mum out on friday shopping and  bought another 20 busy lizzies for the garden boarder,we got home fairly late  so  they went in greenhouse for  later planting.      what lovely weather we have been having,saturday i was up early,i had also bought  from Morrisons a 5 litre tub of their wood preserver         and  i gave the summer house a coat,       then  the shed        which is now 37 years old,a bit rotten in places       but still going,       it now looks a new shed.      really pleased with the quality of the product   and  it was only £4.99        good value.  i  also did the hoovering.where in hell does all the dirt come from??     oh  we are mucky lot.lol         then back out in garden boarder for an hour. my front garden is  mostly shrubs,bulbs and perennials       the bulbs  long  gone over it looked awful,  so  i cut  them all down to the ground,cleaned up any weeds  and gave the soil a dose of pelleted chicken manure,all ready for the new plants.

sunday was another lovely  warm sunny day,and after cooking and eating sunday lunch     instead of going to bed as i normally do,instead  i went back out and finished the front garden.   2 barrowfulls of rubbish  off.  planeted the busy lizzies       plus another 5 i had put in a container       and  it will give some colour for summer.       i can do with a few more of something to give a good display.      although there is always something to give colour,aqualegias and peonys are now coming out,boarder pinks  starting to come.      but  in the spaces i always  have something,and  a  lot of   the pansies i had used last autumn are  getting very straggly. i did cut some down,but i am rather ruthless,if it looks a bit poorly,up it comes.      so     good watering with the hose,and  my garden  should  look nice        especially when  the pots and baskets  go out.

the last 2 days havent been so nice,although yesterday        well ok  monday  as its now  really wednesday     was sunny  it had  a bite       the wind has moved around  to a north easterly direction        and it feels colder,   today has been  cool,grey  and overcast.   so  my hanging baskets can keep in the greenhouse for another week.       they are all doing well,in fact  a lot of te petunias  are in flower,fuschias will bloom any day.      so by the time they do go out,i  should have a good  display.

mums toe  is doing well,and although i dress it with surgical spirit between the toes    as directed  by the chiopodists,it has  healed well.   but  she still is suffering  badly  from gout.       really giving  her  a lot of pain  poor love.    well,i think i will go back to bed  for  while,now 4.25     so  this has passed a bit of time  lol         i  feel lousy,  coughing and sneezing  as  i have been typing.       i bet  i will have to end up going to drs again  for antibiotics      lovely.        oh  well   take care all
