Cordless Mini Trimmers
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?

ta-da!
I wrote a lot of haiku in my youth, or I thought I did - I now know some of it was senryu: "[...] senryū tend to be about human foibles while haiku tend to be about nature, and senryū are often cynical or darkly humorous while haiku are more serious." (Quote from Wikipedia.) And then there are the hybrids, for instance when something seems like a haiku at first glance but you discover there's a human underneath. This would be a hybrid:
rain on the lens
woolacombe web cam
persisting tales
...he he he... anyway, I'll be editing old haiku as well as writing some new. Doing it in English as haiku may be Big In Japan but it isn't in Sweden. Trying to emulate a delicate book layout with one haiku only on each page, so you have to turn by clicking on Older posts/Newer posts. If you click on a photo, the whole site will annoyingly close down if you leave that photo by closing it when you're done - so don't, just go backwards to the previous page instead.
DING-DONG, jno to the helpdesk please! How can I make the photos look better, for instance the one I've called BLUE. I tried resizing it in Photobucket but that didn't help at all. Problem is, I don't know what I'm doing... I know the meaning of "crop" and understand that's not what I want - but what do I want and is there a free machine online that will do it for me? I thought resizing would change the resolution?

Good really morning dawgs. Off downtown to see some friends, I originally thought we'd just be sitting down having coffee but as it turns out we'll probably be roaming the streets of Gamla stan (Old Town) and more, which kinda makes me regret my decision to buy a cast iron pig as a gift for one of my friends... I mean, I'll have to carry it until we sit down... nah it ain't all that big, but still, I could have bought her... I don't know... a hanky or something! But she likes pigs and this one was sooo sweet, black with gilded wings, it's adorable.
Don't exhaust yourselves with the haiku, it does take some getting used to if you're not, I'm well aware of that. The nice plump lady isn't me having had my portrait made! it's a Russian playwright, poet et cetera named Schepkina Kupernik. I'm not familiar with her work but we look a little alike and she knew Chekhov personally, which I'm envious of.
jno the titles (and some other stuff, in the right-hand column) is written in a very pale colour; "Blue" is when you've turned the page once - accompanying "bird by the fountain", but nevermind that. I do need something like Photoshop don't I.
bye for now

shopping done
ready for tennis
all gone home
morning people.... get those ridiculously short white skirts & sweatbands off now, it's all over.... you can keep the frilly pants on though, (ok, you too Vincent) we'll have no commandos in here thank you. Heck, I was worn out watching that. Not sure what it did to my bp but I couldn't get to sleep...or maybe it was all the msg I'd eaten - no time to cook! Cheese & jam might have been healthier than my diet yesterday :o)
something in the air
could be wooly sprouts
that time of year when
< smacks forehead....>
Kit, how do you expect a foggy brained biddy to decipher all of that? Just how many syllables am I supposed to use because one or two is usually my limit? Erm....& there'll be none o' that straddling business, tut.
Lovely pics though, 'specially the lotus, and the Blue looks fine to me but I know nowt about resolutions.
And I love your doggy website woofy - handsome looking lads they are now.
I see Kit chose a lighter option after all....
custard tarts
fit young man in queue
go round again
:o)

Hey there Biddyfriends What a brilliant match. All I wanted was for it to go to 5 sets then I didn't mind who won honest!! I could say I wanted Nadal to win cos it would have been his first and Federer to win cos it was his 6th so I didn't mind either way. They are both real champions in my eyes. Murray has a long way to go to get the panache of those 2 young men!!
Anyway I am now catching up with all the things I should have been doin while the tennis had been on.
Also have to look for something else to do as Tai Chi is finishing even earlier than we were told, (July 22nd) I have a young man coming round today to talk to me about Karate. should be interesting but I really can't see me doing that, too energetic!! But I'll see.
Hope you are all ok, Have saved your web site Woofy so I can have a long look at my leisure.
Looks good!
See yer later y'all, :o)

hahahahaha....lol Vin but I'm surprised you didn't mention the nosey ole bat frum Durby that couldn't see the 'goings on'. Would you ask him if I can have a zoom button please.
Oh dear Jude you'll just have to keep pinning our pics to a cushion & kick that about. I couldn't do any of this martial art/wafting arms about. Apart from the creaks 'n cracks I'm a serial giggler, I'd just fall about.
