Early this morning I converted the following post from Classic to Block edit and changed its Feature Image:
Jackie has persisted in trying to burn our soggy garden refuse. I had had enough yesterday, so apart from a desultory poke and stir, I converted the following posts:
Apart from “I Found The Lady” these largely deal with our first months of tackling our garden here. The other records one of my regular trips to our late friend Norman for lunch.
These efforts are producing welcome opportunities for reminiscing.
This afternoon I watched the Women’s Six Nations rugby matches between Wales and England, and between Italy and Ireland.
We all dined this evening on Red Chilli’s excellent takeaway fare with which I finished the Coonawarra red wine, while no-one else imbibed.
It is pleasing to be able to reminisce now and then 🙂
Thanks very much, Anne
Looking good, Derrick! Those padded things you kneel on are so nice.
Thanks very much, John
Have nice weekend, Derrick????
Sorry, the question marks weren’t intentional????
Sorry again, something is wrong with the submission
People all over are having trouble with the emojis. I just use the : and ) method for 🙂
Much wiser ????
emoji glitches
????????????
Thanks very much, Luisa
The rugby was great wasn’t it?
The first game was, Kim. The first real contest for England. Thanks very much
The garden refuse will dry out eventually. Jackie is tenacious, but I’d be relaxing on the bench, too. Waiting has benefits. Congratulations on finding the Lady in the Grass. You were wise to keep your money.
Thank you so much, JoAnna.
You’re very welcome.
Reminiscing sounds like a lot more fun than attempting to burn soggy refuse.
I agree!
Reminiscing be good!
OOH!!! GREAT posts you converted! I enjoyed visiting each one. I especially like Jackie mastering the machine! YAY Jackie! 🙂 Well, and you “communing” with the garden bench, Derrick…gotta’ love that! 🙂 Interesting to see the Barrie Haynes book and read how he painted the cover photo!
It’s a book cover that would capture me in to buy and read! I’m always intrigued by book cover choices. And you know I, also, enjoy book illustrations!
(((HUGS))) and ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ to everyone at your home!
Thank you so much, Carolyn X
It is always good to see some mowing action.
Thanks a lot Tootlepedal. Nothing in comparison to yours
Nice to have the words and photos to prompt the memories.
Indeed. Thanks very much, Laurie
You look so relaxed Derrick. Will read your other posts later.
Thank you so much, Arlene
Nice pic of your Derrick
Thanks very much, Geeta
Your gardens then and now are beautiful, a pleasure to look at, Derrick and Jackie.
Thank you very much from us both, Lavinia
Goodness me, you got lots done, far more than I managed!
Thanks very much, Sue
I still don’t understand the conversion project.
Clicking on a picture posted in Classic in order to enlarge it gives you Nothing Here. Thanks very much, Andrew
My pictures always enlarge in Classic Derrick.
Lucky you, Andrew.
I always format them as a media file rather than
an attachment. Seems to work.
I think you know so much more about the technicalities than I do
Great memories to look back on
Thanks very much, Sheree
