Hospital Food

Hospital food is better than I remember 🙂

Last Minute Work

I spent a little time running around the garden on Sunday trimming trees and weeding. I head off to hospital today for shoulder surgery and I wanted to try and get things done now before I can’t do them for myself. I should have taken more snaps to show what I was working on but I just didn’t have the time. I have some posts lined up to appear while I’m in hospital but I probably won’t be able to reply to emails and posts comments for a while. I hope to be back doing some one arm typing by the end of the week.

Elm cutting all around.

Garage Night

A few mates around at the weekend for a night of playing with trees. A good turn out with 12 on the night. It’s as well I have a big garage!!

 

Congratulations Spain

Congratulations to Spain for winning Euro 2012. You had me worried that your play were getting a bit boring, all passing, no attacks on goal, but you pulled a great final out of the bag. Pity it was 10 against 11 for a good part of the match. I felt sorry for Italy to lose under such circumstances.

As a Liverpool supporter I have a soft spot for many of the Spanish players, and as a Northern Ireland fan I also have a fond memory of watching us beat Spain at Windsor Park 3-2 🙂

Here are a few good Spanish Bonsai Blogs to check out. Enjoy.

Gravel Tray

Even with my accents sitting in grit/gravel there have been a few days when I have struggled to keep them watered!

It hasn’t stopped my wild strawberry from shooting runners!

Spirea

My Spirea has decided to start flowering. In about a week we should have a colourful display.

More Hostas

I have a few more hostas that I’m growing on this year with a view to splitting them in the Spring. These were given to me by my friend Stephen.

Iced Lemon

It could have been worse!!

Here’s me bitching about all the rain and flooding and then I watched this after seeing a link on the Wee Trees Bonsai Forum. Mike from Miko Bonsai got hammered by golf ball size hailstones!!

Lucky Escape

We’ve had some heavy rain here for the last few days. Luckily for me, my town has escaped the worst of it. It was nice to be able to skip watering for a few days 🙂

Some parts of Belfast were not so lucky. BBC News Belfast Flooding Feel bad for those who have had their homes ruined.

But this made me smile, They had to bring in the Police Dive Team 😀

Pot ID?

Anybody identify the stamp on this pot for me?
