Plague 41

So its a beautiful sunny lush green morning on the fen . All the thunderstorms add the perfect touch to the garden , though the grass does need mowing badly , last year in the whole of summer the grass was cut just 4 times , this year its back to weekly . Ive pottered round and checked things this morning and the highlight is that the rain has lashed the greenfly off the apple trees , im hoping the really hot weather forecast for this week will cause the apple trees to drop otherwise its going to be a ball ache to thin them all . A reasonable amount of pears this year as it has glutted several years on the trot , plus its looking good on the plum front so it may be a major plum jam year if the wasps dont get there first , the raspberries are glutted but nobody wants them...lol theyre to busy moaning that i had virtually no strawberries
On the locked up front i managed to buy a couple of box lots  from a local little auction that was on facebook , no internet so i asked my daughter to go it was just up the road from her  , first time she had been out since March but she says its was great very social distanced and masks , everything was bagged up and it sat in her boot for the rest of the week , try not to laugh at my purchases .




Yep more dolls for my world of strange...lol   ..90s Ken is a plastic horror story but never played with , i love the 80s stencil sets . My first ever Bratz horror doll , i have an idea for her and it involves a hacksaw ...lol ..but it seems i accidently bought a couple of Sindys the blonde being an original early 60s one and valuable . But answer me this why cant Barbie keep her clothes on ? Theres a mountain of Bratz clothes and accessories along with their feet so i guess i get to play dollys come winter

  1. I have an original Barbie which I once took to find out if it was worth anything , pre internet the snooty man looked down his nose and told me it was worthless , I hope you have better luck .

  2. Kate, I would cut the grass properly.. If you do it badly you will only have to cut it again :-)
