After several hours during the week clearing and cleaning up a messy garden my day started like this
Thanks for the heads up Lyndal xx
I was thinking of perhaps going to one of the gardening centres. I noticed a few weeks ago that they had tossed some oldish pallets into a pile in a corner near a huge fence. They looked a bit dilapidated and scruffy but at the time, I didn't think anything of it. Wonder if they are trying to get rid of them or selling them off, I'll certainly make enquiries on the weekend.
Great suggestion as well Bluecat, thank you xx
I'll look at their site now.

Our cats have had to be locked out of the work area as well; they are always trying to be "helpful" but in the end, out into the sunroom and their enclosure they have to go to play!
i was looking for the pictures -
have you posted them yet?
would love to see them 
Good morning, I have had some rest from renos and was planning a "finish all the little bits" today but unexpectedly have a sick grandchild .....so ....... looks like not much will happen here.
I do have a small stitching job to do, I was sensible and bought sheer curtaining that was continuous but it still needs the sides stitched. Several people have said "no, it looks fine, just leave it" but I can't!
A visit to the nursing home at some stage when dad arrives to collect little miss............ went yesterday and in his usual manner, my FIL popped into another residents room to visit, to which she strongly objected. 
She told him to "get out you B***"
He turned and said "you are no lady" 
I do wonder if people who lose their memory keep their real personality?
I watched something yesterday that links heart disease to dementia.
Good morning on this winter type day on the island xxxxxx
Indeed Bushie, that is good advice. We don't have a trailer but we have friends who do and would collect them for us once we locate the pallets we find. Might go to the "bunny" shop .... 
to see what they have and then back to the the gardening centre where the old pallets are and see if they would like to sell them as is.
You are right, the idea of the treated pine is bothersome but we'll certainly get some, as far as possible, 'ecological' stain or paint if they are (treated).
Hoping the move goes well for you too B3, don't envy you that I must say, it can be so stressful xxx
Have a splendid day everyone.
