Tiiiiimbeeer!

Nearly.
Not quite - not yet.
But they don't half creak and groan in the wind.

Talking of wind ..........
Freezing wind
No wind
Heavy drizzle
Light drizzle

I hate this weather - it really goes for my back.
The constant pain in my back can normally go from Ping-Pong ball to Snooker ball pressing again my spine but in weather like this it is constantly snooker ball!
Anybody want to buy me a wee place in the Caribbean?

The berberis and the ........ whatever it is are flowering nicely despite the rubbish weather.

We bought a fandabbydozzy tumble drier a while ago and it turned out to be one of those that are 'a fire hazard'. Hotpoint told us that it was okay to use it - so long as we sat and watched it during operation and until it had cooled down - and they would come and fit the redesigned upgrade.
That was in November 2016.
Bags was in the same position and hers was done about 2 months ago.
This evening SWMBO has had an-mail from Hotpoint to say that ours is in line to be done in May ......2017!!!! (despite the original date being Jan/Feb this year)
They are not on
They will be getting a bill for a new machine (from another manufacturer)
