The Norty Corner

Well what Glorious weather we have had, i confess that although i had to work the weekend i did get to enjoy the sun in all its glory the week leading up to said weekend. I couldn't believe just how warm it was yesterday when i finished work and went and sat up on the decking with a cup of tea and not an alcoholic beverage, i could feel the sun sizzling me and that was at 5pm. As we have had a marvelous heatwave...my fridge freezer decided to go bang...fortunately i took out extended warranty on it...unfortunately the problem is down to a manufacturers error and the earliest an engineer can get out to look at it is Tuesday...so we are living out of a cool box at the moment. Alongside that everything is good. i had a good sort through some of my old photographs early this week, it was lovely as memories came flooding back from them and sad because many of the subjects in my pictures have now passed over, i confess i did blub quite a bit, i am so tha...

I am pleased to announce that despite Minnie the cats best efforts at trying to get to my little nesting birdie babies that they are still in the bird house and i managed to get some pictures of them today. We found in the end that a plant sprayer was a valuable learning aid for Minnie...much more effective than me running around frantically in the garden yelling " Minnie GET DOWN NOW!!!". I can't say how chuffed i am to have managed to snap these pictures and that these little birds actually came to live in our garden.  Have had quite a busy last week in that my parents went away for a week and my brother and sister in law wanted to give something back to my parents for their wedding so decided to update their bedroom for them. I have no before pictures although  sister in law did take a couple but i'm gathering they would have to be censored as it had not been decorated for over 30 years and the stuff they had accumulated...well i won't...

Well I've said it many times before and I'm a gonna say it again...doesn't time fly!! So have i been up to much since i last blogged..well yes and no and none of it is very exciting.  Geraldine the witch has got a buddy now, she has her little cat called Emily. I almost think it sounds like a child's book and did think about writing a little story about the adventures of Geraldine and Emily... another project for another day to do . I have exciting news, in the bird box we have babies, baby blue tits to be precise. We love listening to them chirping every time mum and dad blue tit  pop in and out which the poor little birdies do constantly to feed them. we are having to watch the box as Minnie the Minx had got on top of it last week and was trying to get her paw inside the bird hole. We have got a water spray on the side in the conservatory and after being squibbed with it a few times, we only have to yell her name and she runs ...
