Cordless Mini Trimmers

[Robinia]

Does anyone have one of THESE or something similar? I need something light to tidy up plants & the smaller shrubs - I get a man in for the big stuff! :o) I wondered if it will only cut very soft new growth or if it would also be handy to cut down perennials that might be a bit woody?

[swedeheart]

O-kay... don't know what happened there... I tried to post as DaSwede, saying

See? It really is...


...and letting "swedeheart" finish the sentence, so you'd know it's me. Wonder why that didn't work??

Oh well. You'll just have to believe it!

[swedeheart]

I'll send headmistress an email from my ordinary address to confirm that I'm me...

[jno]

Oh well, as it's Gardening...

Oh lawdy - greenies now. Am I jinxed cos yesterday was my worst day ever. I washed some dark green cushion covers and being in Spain I put in a small amount of bleach and they came out all speckly, so had to bleach them completely and now they are peach! Then toc ap it all last night I put on the air con for the first time this year and when I was cool enough I couldn't turn it down or up or off or anything, so all night I was stuck with this damned machine thinking it was going to burst into flame. At 2.30 I was trying to climb into the electrics cupboard but it is way to high, so this am had to phone Mr N who was no use at all so I thumped it standing on a ladder and then the vanes began working so then I could turn it off with the remote, what an absolute disaster! Couldn't find or reach the manual switch which is hidden somewhere- I finally went to sleep at 3.30 ish) bearing in mind that I had got up at 6am I am shattered.

He he Robinia didn't you know: Charlie is on the take. (As they say in American cops series about bribable members of the force.)

Vinny!!! Do you have a web cam on me! I almost went to Myrorna only yesterday! (It's a second-hand shop, the rest of yous - I don't know how Vinny knows...?!) I bought a painting there a couple of years ago and decided to give it back as I want some new things on my walls. In the end I dropped it off at another second-hand shop more nearby - but Myrorna was certainly on my mind yesterday!

Must be the revenge of George, Neti, for working him so hard.

Going to my hairdresser tonight. She's cutting down (ha ha) on that business but will still accept a few customers at home and I'm one of them. Looking forward to it, I love to see how people live and this will be my first visit there.

[netibiza]

I never know where I am with these "greenies" I mean one never knows what gender they are do we?? (he he!)

[jno]

well, I'm grey and I certainly don't know what gender I am. I did have it down on a piece of paper somewhere.

[VINNY100_2]

Blimey,I thought that survey over there>said are you going to die this summer...hahahaha...Its okay,ive cleaned me classes now...(:O)

[swedeheart]

He he he jno, got to say that considering what a bang up job you're doing of confusing everyone else I'm quite relieved to learn you're not sure yourself - seems only fair! If you are, however, certain you've been to Sicily, let's see some evidence - or tell us something nice, something... lemon scented. What did you eat, what did you drink, what did you buy. Will you be going on a trip on the oasis of the seas when she's built, jno...?

Been sheared for almost two hours again, would drive me crazy if I didn't like talking with her but I do. I used to dye my hair with henna at home for many years but it's all natural now - no particular colour at all... Funny feeling having your hair done in the hairdresser's apartment. The previous customer was still there when I arrived, felt a little like being in an Almod�var movie...!

Calm down, Vinny, you'll think of something, you always do. / BTW I watch a lot of Monty Python on YouTube. Little did I know the first time I watched this (must be more than thirty years ago) that I'd one day be chatting with somebody who must have bumped into Mr Hilter now and then:

you've got the wrong map there, this is stalingrad - you want the ilfracombe and barnstaple section

[swedeheart]

"...television doctor...?" ha ha haha haha ha!

[jno]

neti, just stay out of the electrics cupboard, it'll mess with your seams

[netibiza]

ha ha jno but it was more on tiptoe hanging by my manky arm and getting nowhere. Anyway it's off now so will leave it until Mr N gets home, although it is so needed as we are having a heatwave at mo (as if we needed one!)

Morning honeybuns and sweetie pies ....))
Is the Sveedish translator in the house ?
Kit ..in this book I have just read written by one of your countrypersons they obviously couldn't translate the flollowing into English
Jopa virkki puu visainen leilen kantelon kajasi tuota soitta suloista ....is it a rhyme to do with bells ? In the book it's a doorchime .
And also ..Ei saa peitt�� ..this is written on a sticker on a radiator . Thank you ..
I am just on my way to Netis where ,air con or not it must be warmer than Norfolk this morning ..books in nooks are on hold ,it looks like rain :(

[VINNY100_2]

Its all Finnish to me...
good mornin ...lovely day again..(:O)

[swedeheart]

swedeheart in da house, Shaney. I'm afraid the yokel is right (damn!) - it's Finnish, or at least I've been able to verify that "Ei saa peitt��" is. It seems to be a standard phrase on radiators meaning that they mustn't be covered. The other phrase sounds as Finnish as the first one but doesn't google, as it were. They must have been not translated in the original text either - but it's odd that there was no explanation later on in the text, if you finished the book. Anyway there's no resemblance whatsoever between Finnish and Swedish the way there is between Swedish / Danish / Norwegian, so I can't even do any guesswork - sorry.

Just heard something funny on the radio, they were talking about Nelson Mandela and how even people who aren't at all interested in politics will always know his name if nothing else and mention him when asked for a hero. One of the radio journalists went downtown to interview people as it's his birthday and their goal was to find out what does it take to make people unsure about their heroes. Starting out with the question "mention a politician you admire", and of course getting the answer they expected, they then proceeded to the fraudulent questions beginning with "But did you know he was actually a dictator in Ghana for two years?" to which people responded with vague replies like "...well... I don't know a whole lot about Ghana..." but when they were asked "But did you know he broke up with his wife by texting her?" that's when they really began to lose faith, ha ha ha, I thought that was funny... They're not wrong you know!

Shaney, I have just run that through my Enigma machine and it turns out to be a simple substitution coade. It translates as "the green sheep mftpllewhzs netball practice".
