As many of you will know I am a bit cheesed off with the weather at the moment.
I read blogs of other people in the UK doing lots in their garden and notice the sunshine!
here it is a different matter!

I am trying to do lots in my garden which you can view here

This morning when I commented on the weather being dull, Jon replied...

"Yes, it is worth than usual today!"

He then went on to say...
"Don't bother feeding Ella, she has just eaten a mouse!"

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm good start to the day eh!

I was reading a blog this morning where somebody made a reference to Google, and the fact they never "googled".

It made me think about my blog!
I do use Google from time to time, but not all of the time.
I try to make my blog posts a bit different and only use Google if I find it useful or interesting myself.

For instance today, when I looked up what had happened on 3rd April there was quite a varied selection of events..

1996

US Cabinet member Ron Brown, a top advisor to US President Bill Clinton, dies in military plane crash in Croatia along with several senior American corporate executives.

1987

The jewels of the late Duchess of Windsor, the former Mrs Wallis Simpson who married Edward VI of England after his abdication in 1936, fetch more than £30million at auction.

1981

Mobs of youths go on the rampage in Brixton, South London throwing petrol bombs and looting shops.

1979

Start of regular radio broadcasting from British Parliament.

1976

Britain wins Eurovision Song Contest with 'Save All Your Kisses For Me'.

1930

Haile Selassie becomes Emperor of Ethiopia.

1922

Joseph Stalin is appointed general secretary of the Communist Party in Russia.

1913

English suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst is sentenced to 3 years in prison for inciting supporters to place explosives at the London home of British politician David Lloyd George.

1882

Wild West Outlaw Jessie James is shot dead by one of his own gang, aged 35.

1860

Start of the American Pony Express service: from St Joseph Missouri to Sacramento.


I remember 1981 and the Brixton riots because it triggered off a whole series of vilence throughout the UK. I was teaching in Nottingham at the time and remember when there was a riot in the City Centre, so close to where I was living at the time. Those of us with cars parked them close together so the youths couldn't turn them over! It seems so long ago now, but I did think about it when I read through the list of events.
Goole I think is like anything to do with technology, it has its good side and bad side.
As a tool for knowledge I think it is excellent when used correctly.
I have found out so much through Google and try to share what I find.
It is time saving too. I would not have the time to research everyday as I lead quite a busy life.
I have a business to run, which is approaching a very busy season, I support my husband with his business, indeed half way through this post I had to go and collect a tool for modification, I am trying to prepare a vegetable plot for the first time, maintain one third of an acre garden and run the home.

From the visitors I get I am happy to think I try to give something a bit different and would hope I have succeeded.

A couple of photos I took yesterday when out in the garden, digging our very first vegetable plot!

Elsie loved running for a potato, which she fetched when she couldn't find a ball!



LOL!

Have a good day!
A planning & thinking day here, due to the rain!
