The pace of the holiday has matched the pace of the mini heatwave and slowly I have cleared out my new bike shed and re organised the garden shed which now has neat lines of gleaming garden tools in it as well as a newly buffed up mower.
Not content with the outside sheds, I made a start on some unsorted bedroom cupboards and cleared out a load of shite as well as carrier bags of old books and photographs all of which I have therapeutically thrown into the bin.
I bumped into Mrs Trellis when I was returning Jason's power cleaner and both agreed to attend the photo session of the Street Wardens which looks as though it's happening on Sunday evening
Mrs Trellis is buying a computer soon , so impressed she is with on line shopping.
Trendy Carol ( in a baseball hat inspired ensemble today!!) stopped to chat as the lone cockerel stopped by for his tea as he made his way back to the Churchyard.
I feel for the bird who looks and acts incredibly lonely
I caught him yesterday standing on the Church wall listening to the crowing of a cockerel at the livery stables only 1000 yards away.
So near but so far away.
The bulldogs have spent their day with nipples against cold shady concrete
Thunderstorms are on the way
I hope Mrs. Trellis doesn't slide down the slippery slope of online shopping to her financial ruin!
ReplyDeleteI feel sad for the poor, lonely cockerel.
Sounds as though you need a day of rest after the massive clear out and clean up.
Thanks for posting the cockerel picture. He is such a pretty bird.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful rooster. Can't someone get him a hen or two?
ReplyDeleteSuper photo.
ReplyDeleteAwww, so sorry the cockerel is lonesome. I echo Ms. Moon in wishing him some hen friends.
ReplyDeleteWell done with continuing with your clear-out both inside and in the bike shed. Have you thought of a paint color that appeals to you for your hallway?
It's hot here, too, (approx. 25*C) and we have a 10p thunderstorm likely.
Hugs!
sunny and hot over here right now at 5P. good for you cleaning and organizing!
ReplyDeleteVery therapeutic going through old stuff from the past and getting rid of it. I did it one day.
ReplyDeleteYes old photos , my mother's old stuff, useless paperwork
DeleteDedicated bike shed! That's gettting into cycling in a big way. It'll be tight lycra shorts next.
ReplyDeleteOr short lycra tights.
DeleteI have lovely buttocks
DeleteI concur. You have a beautifully shaped fat arse x
DeleteI was behind 2 cyclists today on the way to usual dog walk and one gentleman had the most transparent cycling shorts I have ever seen x
DeleteCould you see his haemorrhoids?
DeleteFat?
DeleteI speak only from a point of envy x
DeleteMy arse is my best feature mave
DeleteBloody hell x
DeleteSpeechless ... ;-)
DeleteIs it like a peach John?x
DeleteYes
DeleteHi hun, Yes the heat is unbearable. My hubbie (UK Spanish Gypsey Romany genes from his Mum)goes black with very little sun. Me with freckles, goes pink and ......eventually a golden brown. I tend to retreat indoors - Boo our brown lab/retriever lies in the shade.Luckily, we live near Dedham which has a river so she can have a walk and then cool off. Last year I went through all our old photos and split some up for my twin girlies into albums for them and the rest into our albums and some into the bin.Do you ever look at old photo's and think why on earth did I take that? My hubbie had lots (and lots)of old RAF ones - half of the people in the photo's he couldn't remember anything about them!In his defence he left the RAF after 22 years in 1993.But..into the bin they went!! LOL *hugs* Goldensunflowerx
ReplyDeleteWe just finished a heat wave, ugh! Nice rooster, I had a similar looking one.
ReplyDeleteYou could get him a companion, nothing as sad as a lonely cock.
ReplyDeleteI hope he finds a companion soon-it's so sad x
ReplyDeleteI had two dogs from a rescue a good few years ago. They came as a bonded pair and got on so well.
ReplyDeleteAfter a few years the bitch died very suddenly. Oh my God the dog did not take it well at all. He spent days howling for hours at a time. There was no calming him at all.
So I bit the bullet and got another dog, a bitch. He stopped howling after a few days and the rest was history, as they say.
I always have at least two dogs because I think it's easier for them. Not for me but we cope
Beauty. Bird and day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo. It looks like a painting.
ReplyDeleteHe is such a handsome rooster! I'm sorry he is so lonely.
ReplyDeleteCould you buy a couple of hens (maybe rescue from battery) to keep him company or is that a road you do not wish to take?
ReplyDeleteI've just tried 'the bulldog position'. It's very effective.
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteWho owns the cockerel ? Good to have a clear out and tidy up x
ReplyDeleteNo one
DeleteThe cockerel owns John 🤪
DeleteI love days like you've been having... and thunderstorms.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you keep shite in your bedroom cupboards for? We usually flush ours down the toilet. I wonder if Mrs Trellis needs someone to join her in a bubble - to get her up and running on the computer. I could stay over.
ReplyDeleteYou missed your usual 'pull them in' blog title there didn't you!! You're losing it boy ;-)
ReplyDeleteLovely photo John, looks like your on a roll with cleaning.
