Still Working on reducing Working!! Fantasy!

17 Replies

Second time I've mowed the lawn this week! As you see from the stripes I'm beginning to waver! It's still there! The madness of dealing with this illness. I can't do what I did before. So get over it you big tit I tell myself. Sit on your arse & contemplate the world & wait till it burns out! What! The world or GCA the head bites back. It's a Pepperdog office day again! Wonderful thanks to this connection. Ta.

That your country pile? Apart from the work and the lawn- jealous...

Alas a fantasy. Our lawn seems that size now though. It's "Hergest Croft". Beautiful garden well worth a visit. Just think of all the work maintaining these places. Think I'm well out of it!

I know - my mother was insistent she wanted a garden when she moved to Scotland. It took some doing a few years later to get her to consider that she simply couldn't manage the house and garden she chose any longer.

He must have had along life PMRpro. Viagra wasn't invented then either! But the fantasy persists!

Which reminds me: I was just looking up 10mg gastro resistant pred which someone said was available (don't think it is) and one of the links offered was

"Buy Prednisolone 5mg Tabs - Enhance Your Sexual Performance Today"

Wonderful stuff - cheaper than botox for wrinkles and has added extras it seems!

in reply toPMRpro

Any enhancement really? Blimey I thought It's Spring & what's left of my body clock. Can't say too much I may be banned from walking on my own!! Well that may be another plus for pred apart from pain relief. Think the fantasy rolls on!

That’s a beautiful property. Did you really do that lawn work?

in reply toLeeleep

No Leeleep it is a fantasy. Just saying that's how it seems mowing our own small lawn. But I have mowed big lawns in the past. It is a beautiful house & garden & well worth a visit.

Hey, for a minute there l was planning on coming to stay & bring my husband to mow your lawn! 😂

At least you still have a sense of humour! 😂

Thank you. Humour! Sometimes Mrs Nails. I could wrestle a porcupine! But we won't go further on that one! How much does he charge for the mowing!!
