Western World? I guess it never got around to having an Eastern branch...

We finished the first half of the new deck Sunday and it's rained everyday since.............bloody English weather in Wyoming.

Well, we haven't secured sufficient funds yet to open up a Far Eastern office for the MPWW. And I suspect we never will.

Besides, then we'd have to change the name.

I'm not talking aboout the Far East... I'm talking about the East. Eastern Hemisphere, Western Hemisphere...

And if you need funds, I'm sure I can send you a cheque for the amount needed... later... after I finish writing the next great novel and find a publisher... and it starts selling... once I find the papers, they're packed somewhere...

Well done Liz!

But I'm not sure about: "I've laid paving, bricks and concrete".

Doesn't it give you a sore bum?

Best wishes to you and Brattling for a happy future with your new and improved garden!

I'm planning to pave over a section of yard next to a concrete patio with brick to extend the hard surface area. I'll dig up the turf, level the dirt, then fill with sand before placing the bricks and packing sand between them. Most of the bricks I'll use are stick in the dirt down at the bottom of the yard where the folks who built the house left them 25 years ago. I think I can probably stretch this project out for a year at least! Once I get it started, mind you. . .

Procrastinators - if it's any consolation, the ultimate bag of concrete is still in the car a week later.....

And now we have a fountain! Solar powered so of course, the sun has gone and we're up to our ankles in rain... but the water lily likes it.

All I have to do now is find a way of getting it into the pond without leaving wires trailing all over the place - it has a remote solar panel and nice long flex.

Bag of concrete has progressed from the car to the hallway....

Party still on for 19th July, all who wish may come.

Well I suppose I'll to resign from the Procrastinators Society - the last bag of concrete was laid yesterday, the plant pots are in position, the fountain has been jury rigged (anyone know anything about pumps?), the table made, the plants planted out and the bench swept..... what will I do with myself next summer?

Do you mind if I resign later, just I'm a bit busy with this knitting I've been working on for a year or so.....
