the season of mellow fruitfulness has started.
i cleaned up five wheel barrow loads of – watermelon (useless except as a growing mulch), corn (rattus can find a new home), hollyhocks, prickly lettuce, dead sunflowers and amaranthus. it took two hours and seemed more like five hours. very tedious and noone will notice. i did clean my new felco secateurs afterwards.
good autumn morning to yas. 25C max here today.

Still 37 here. Have popped out to put a load on washing on, then it’s another day stuck inside. Hopefully when the sun goes down I’ll have the energy to go and check on the worms.

i know what you mean by the heat – anything outdoors has to be completed by 11am or you’ll be cooked and eaten alive by flies.

And sadly, I’ve rarely finished breakfast by 11am :D Mr Bon has been really good though, taking the dog out for exercise before the heat gets too bad.

you’re a night person. not me. i’m awake and breakfasted before it’s light nowadays. the downside of early mornings is being totally dopey after 10pm.

Actually sadly I’m neither a night person nor a day person! In an ideal world I’d be asleep by 9pm each night.
I think that if I didn’t work, I’d be a morning person – I do love getting up early on holidays and enjoying the cool morning and the birdies and all. But I just can’t bring myself to get up early on the weekends, when it’s so, so unpleasant during the week having to haul myself out of bed when my body still wants another three hours sleep.
… rant over :D

33.9C at 1pm.
Been out riding. 8^)
Nice and cool with a breeze varying from 110km/h upwards..

Well there’s no choice is there? Off to the Lotto agency for you.
Home early today as Pat is coming home tomorrow. When I left the hospital that was the plan.
He’s now on insulin as his sugars are all over the place with his asthma medication. Its not what he is eating. So depending what medication he takes for his asthma to how much insulin he has. I have to phone through weekly his BL’s so they can a just his dosages. More gear for my handbag…..lol gonna need a wheel barrow for him soon.
So this morning we spent time learning all about insulin. I must say we were both over whelmed with all the news, info and the lessons we had. What to do if this happens and what to do if that happens.
So tomorrow on the way to the hospital I’ll call in to the diabetic area in the chemist in Salisbury and collect all his gear. Then another bus to the hospital and when he’s discharged, our friend will collect us both.
Going to veg out now and have a evening off before he’s home tomorrow.

Oops! I was trying to say..
Can’t complain this time though – Mr Bon is on a spree, organising the cable cupboard. Instead of a cupboard full of billions of tangled up cables, we will have a series of boxes for different types of cables. Can’t tell you how happy this makes me feel. Much better than the feeling of emptying a packet of flour into a glass jar. I also impressed Mr Bon with my reorganisation of one of the pantry shelves this morning – but he didn’t notice the difference when I’d finished in the bathroom cupboard :D
Suggest to Mr Bon that the best way to store cables is vertical, makes it SO much easier to find the one you want!
A horizontal piece of wood with slices big enough to accept the cables but small enough to catch the connector..
Saves rooting through 20kg boxes of similar looking loops, and saves the inevitable outcome of owning 5 of the rarely used ones…

That does sound awesome, but I can’t think of anywhere where we’d have the vertical space.

Seems people are waking up..
==============================
“Public loses faith in climate change” was the headline of a report in Britain’s The Guardian newspaper last month.
According to a Mori poll, the proportion of British adults who believe climate change is “definitely” a reality has fallen from 44 to 31 per cent over the past year. And while only six per cent said climate change was not happening at all, the pollster suggested that because those over 64 were not polled, the survey exaggerates the share of true believers.
In the US, a recent Pew Poll had global warming rating last out of 21 concerns put to respondents.
The Obama administration has shifted cap-and-trade legislation into the impossible category. Meanwhile, the leading Republican on the Senate environment committee, James Inhofe, is seeking a Department of Justice investigation into research misconduct or criminal actions by the scientists including Dr Michael Mann of Pennsylvania State University and Dr James Hansen of Columbia University and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
In Australia the latest Nielson Poll still has a majority in favour of an ETS. But the majority has fallen by 10 percentage points over the past year, with respondents offering contradictory answers to questions on the respective schemes of the government and the Coalition.
And last week the Australian Industry Group whose CEO, Heather Ridout, has long been the chief industry cheerleader for the ETS, announced it was conducting a review of all climate change policy options. The Business Council of Australia is also reconsidering its support for the government’s ETS.
It is clear that in the space of the few months, since all the media attention was focused on green groups’ Copenhagen street theatre, we have seen a marked turnaround in opinion.
So what has caused this?
There is certainly no new research into the costs of taking action on emission abatement, or the costs if no action is taken. There is no new data about climate trends. There are no new findings about species fragility, ocean levels, the frequency and intensity of hurricanes, or the likelihood of people in rich countries contracting heat induced dengue fever.
What we have seen is a slow drip of news that has punctured the deep faith that climate change is an urgent problem and the conviction, best expressed by alarmists like Professor Garnaut, that the world would arrive at a comprehensive agreement on how to tackle it.
The leaking of emails in October last year from the premier global centre of climatic panic, the Climate Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, provided evidence that scientists leading the charge on climate change were keen to avoid scrutiny. Even their most faithful journalistic mouthpieces at The Guardian and The New York Times could not avoid wagging fingers at their erstwhile sources of inside information.
Much of the rest of the media went on a feeding frenzy.
This was followed by a gradual puncturing of the sanctity of the IPCC data with its supposed endorsement by 3000 of the world’s leading scientists. A series of mistakes and exaggerations have been progressively uncovered.
These started back in 2003, when Canadian researchers McIntyre & McKitrick undertook statistical analysis of Professor Michael Mann’s “hockey stick”. Representing a one thousand year temperature trend, the “hockey stick” with its upward trajectory in the 20th century appeared to refute previous thinking that temperature trends were like the zigzags of an extended accordion.
McIntyre & McKitrick deflated the statistics behind the “hockey stick” which had been the poster child of the IPCC third assessment report published in the year 2000.
The IPCC quietly downgraded the “hockey stick” in its 2007 report.
But the Climategate revelations energised a new questioning of the accuracy of the science as presented by the IPCC and even the integrity of the scientists themselves.
What we have seen over the past few months is scientific evidence that refutes or undermines key elements of the 2007 IPCC report on which all the political urgency for action on climate change has rested.
We have seen the evidence of imminent Himalayan glacier retreat refuted in spite of sneering attacks on the questioners by the IPCC head, Rajenda Pachauri. We have seen evidence that the Amazon rain forests disappearance is exaggerated, that half of the Netherlands is not, after all, facing oceanic inundation, and that hurricanes are not increasing in intensity or frequency.
And those pesky polar bear populations are actually increasing, thereby defying the evocative pictures of marooned creatures drowning in a balmy Arctic Ocean.
Warming itself has appeared to have stopped, perhaps temporarily, a fact that even the defrocked high priest of the rising temperature trend, CRU’s Professor Phil Jones, has been forced to concede.
And the IPCC estimated climate trend prior to 1980, which predates accurate satellite based records, is also under a new assault because crucial data has disappeared and many claim records are contaminated by local warming.
Copenhagen itself turned out to be far from the planned meeting, where the EU and US would have forced developing countries to join them in abating emissions. The developing countries themselves recognised this as economic suicide, and Copenhagen demonstrated a shift in the balance of world power to China, rapidly assuming industrial dominance while at the same time becoming the mortgagee of the US economy.
China’s muscle was demonstrated by their refusal to allow German Chancellor Merkel to announce Germany’s own targets.
Where to from here? It seems inconceivable that global warming as a scare will abruptly go the way of Y2K.
This is because the research grants, taxpayer subsidies to renewables, public statements by political leaders and long lags before there can be certainty about the degree of warming that might take place. At the same time there will be no international emission restraint on the scale necessary to stabilise existing global levels of CO2.
But the vested interests promoting wasteful expenditures are well established. The impetus created by over a decade of poor policy is too strong to allow the sort of “peace dividend” like that which came with the Fall of the Berlin Wall.
Instead we are likely to see only a gradual reversal of the wasteful abatement expenditures and investment risk measures set in train by the IPCC claims of catastrophic global warming.

Off to put my feet up and have a rest and maybe a nanna nap.
Cooking up a storm here ,chicken masala, chicken casserole , parma jarma , chicken paprikash , you name it. All for the freezer so I can carry on with other things taking up my time atm. But my hand slipped off a full kilo glass jar of paprika powder..all over the kitchen floor and glass from one wall to the other. What a mess.
Gotta vacc and mop.

bought a live capture mouse trap today after seeing two of the critters in the kitchen today. caught one within 60 seconds! the other seems to have run off.

Crikey BG. If they are anything like my old boilers, they couldn’t catch a cold in a southerly buster.
Now i come to think of it, i might cull the bludgers. Or at least threaten to do so. 4 eggs 9 chooks.
= 5 bludgers. Might get an RPG launcher.

Nope. They emailed my referee today and gave him a form to fill out – he’s got until the 8th to return it so they’re obviously not in a rush!
I have come on now to say goodbye for a week or so. We head off to Brisbane for 3 days because we have a baby sitting favour to do for a friend then off to a beach for a week.
Weather is looking quite a bit brighter today. Just hope all the necessary roads are open to traffic. The Mary River (near to us) has moderate flooding. Our local creek is running a bumper. Won’t have to worry about watering while we’re away and that’s a plus.
Be good all of you. I hope WA cools down. Hope the south gets some rain and I hope Qld gets to dry out for a while.
Bye till about the 15thMar.
Morning :)
I’s so quiet, cool and still.
Except for the traffic noise which I’m aware of now! lol.
Brekky to eat then I’m away to the garden to play :) Cauli , brocoli ,leeks and some dwarf bean seeds (brown beauty) to plant in punnets.
Somethings eating my tomatoes..mice or maybe that possum I saw, but what a mess. I have fallen fruit to clean up and perhaps cut back some growth so I can get to the rest of the good fruit.
When the toms finish I might shove all 7 chooks in there and shut them in for a day to clean up.
I got some more jonquil bulbs too, I can’t get enough of them :) they will go in the shed fridge crisper for a few weeks.

- daughter wanted a holiday and I feel we are going as invited guests so we can take the kids off her hands for some of the time so she can have a few sleeps. We are ok with that because the kids give us lots of joy. I have dragged out the swimmers and the beach towels. It’s been many years since they have had to surface.

that about sums it up.
morning.
i went to see richard dawkins last night. a very clear talker and writer – no wonder the anti- evolutionists were gathered outside.
adelaide is ridiculous at the moment – streets closed and people all over the footpaths for the ac/dc concert – clipsal 500, adelaide cup, womadelaide, the fringe and the festival all on at the same time.
looks like a good night on the forum.
cormorants eat yabbies. they leave shell debris all over the rocks. and yabbies migrate across land – altho’ with all the water up there in sunny queensland they probably find the water coming to them at present.
leached soil and blood sucking leeches – ‘scuse my spelling.
.
have a nice time with the family pomolo :)
Said to the elf this morning……
If I had a pair of very short denim shorts
bigger boobs
a shirt tied up under my boobs
I’d wash his car for him and he could watch.
Guess the car doesn’t get washed.
Woohoo I got an egg :)
First egg from one of the 5 new browns, small, but an egg nonetheless :)
I’m in for a cold drink. The sun is beating down and theres not a cloud. I’ll have to pull some veges out if no decent rain arrives soon.
Speaking of veges, my tomatoes are being eaten as they ripen so I’ve picked as many as I can to ripen indoors. A good bucketful. I can freeze some to add direct to stews ect.
But at this point , and no rain, I’m wondering if I should rip ‘em out. I can’t see the point of putting precious water on a plant thats feeding feral animals. Well, I could net it to the possum, but if it’s mice (as I suspect) then they will have nests underneath, and get thru netting easily anyway. I’ll think about that.
Still searching for a nice spot for the yacon. I might rip out hot chillis in the mini orchard and make a spot in there, frost free as possible.

Hi ya HP…. so glad you had a ball with the GA team………
We’re happy as clams over here. Killing time till we go to the diabetic specialist app. at the hospital. This one was made weeks ago. Wanted to see what could be done about the diabetes and to keep the elf off insulin. Oh well…… crap happens.

First egg from one of the 5 new browns, small, but an egg nonetheless :)Oh how egg-citing when they first start to lay their eggs.
I’ve been buying eggs for a couple weeks now. They’re ok but just not the same fresh bright yellow yolks, and having used my own for baking for years now, I notice they don’t beat up as high for cakes and pavs.
mine have seemed to stop laying all of a sudden. will have to go search for hidden nests…

Said to the elf this morning……If I had a pair of very short denim shorts
bigger boobs
a shirt tied up under my boobsI’d wash his car for him and he could watch.
Guess the car doesn’t get washed.
I had a Ford for a year or so until it croaked. Serviced it but not washed regularly. Didn’t seem right to wash it. Just looked wrong.
Had that lived-in look.
8^)
My Toyota will comfortably outlive it, and the only washes it gets are a free drive through rinse at work (washes off the plant chemical fallout).
The bike only has 220km or so on it right now, but maybe close to 800 this afternoon. It’ll get washes, it is the favourite toy at the moment! 8^)

Nope. They emailed my referee today and gave him a form to fill out – he’s got until the 8th to return it so they’re obviously not in a rush!

Around here, carwashes happen when you take the car in for a service – if you’re lucky. It’s that or wait for rain. Wait, what’s rain again? sigh

morning.
there is rain out to the northeast but it might not make it here.
it is still dry but the heat has gone and watering is no longer an urgent life-or-death issue. i must put in the winter veges one day soon – there is plenty of space but the soil needs fertilising, forking and general cleanup – so it will take a while.

Yep sure did sleep in. But I didn’t get to sleep until 4 am… woke at 8.30 to visitors who don’t care if I look like something the dog dragged in, and make me a cuppa and look after themselves :)

That’s a pretty good excuse :) I finally remembered to take my tablet a bit early yesterday evening, so I think that helped me wake up a bit earlier than usual. That, and Mr Bon clanging around loudly in the morning, bless him.
Sounds like the best kind of visitors you can get :)
have caught and relocated outside 3 little mousies so far with my new humane mouse trap. Got it at the Big Green Shed for less than $3!
(Wonders if someone entered the price on the computer wrong.)

It sounds like a clever way of removing unwanted mice BG. Simple, effective and humane. I think you may have got a bargain there!

BTW, BG, well done finding all those eggs!!
Back for a minute. I’ve got the case manager and a support worker here soon ,so I’ve had to find my second wind and clean up a bit lol. Dishwasher loaded, floor swept, laundry door shut on the bulging pile of washing..
Another egg laid. I can tell which chook laid it, biggest reddest comb :)
Good on finding those eggs BG!
Better keep runnin

Yep! Haven’t had any mice for ages, and now for the last couple of weeks, one has returned. We bought a lethal trap to deal with it, but I reckon we will go soft and dig out the catch and release traps again. Problem is, last time around one of the mice used his time in the trap to chew quite a big hole in it..
Good morning….or should I say afternoon…lol
Finally got 5 mins to myself to drop in.
All is good here and the elf is improving a bit more each day. Went to out GP today and all is good.
No medical visits for a whole week…..yay….. next week we are on medical holidays…….whooo hoo.
Warm today, but I’m not bothered about it.

Yeah that is good BG:) The almost bimbos take the mice they catch up to a vacant lot and let them go. Mind you bimbo catches them with a glass jar….lol
Millie, loves her little furry mouses outside the rumpus room window:D Cute little babies, that’ll grow up and bonk themselves silly and more little cuties. vicious cycle….

Thats how we reckon we will feel when giant son leaves home..we won’t know what to do with ourselves and the quiet will be overwhelming.
Day 1 plan is: Stay in bed all day and ignore the phone and doorbell. Read newspapers/ mags, order in brekky, watch dvd’s, and sleep.
Day 2 is still in the planning stages LOL.
Off shortly to visit bride daughters in- laws- to- be and having tea there. We are meeting the MC and dishing dirt on the young couple for stories for the fellow to tell at the wedding. Good ones and awful ones lol.
We have some beautys with our daughter! We have long memories too.

Don’t get a sore foot, down to 70% now, and a lesser amount expected.
I was wondering why the rhubarb was flat, despite me watering it well, so I drip watered them overnight and hey , they look lush and are upright again. The sub soil is drying out.
Oops, ‘scuse bad quoting :)

Not a drop of rain.

Cleared the weeds from the vege patch in anticipation, to make sure it reaches the soil when it comes. I have only been giving it light waters and the soil was pretty dry. If this rain does not eventuate then I need to give it a good soaking myself. Picked the last of the beetroot too. Not sure what I’m going to do with them yet though. Not that fond of them pickled.

Giant sons been taken out for the night and it’s just hubby and I, dancing around like idiots.
We’re going through the music CD’s and we’re up to Harry Nillson ‘lime in the coconut’. hehe
I do like them roasted, but too many for one meal. How long will they keep once cooked?

Why is it when you playing in ya worm farms on evening…….. hair gets into your mouth and you half swallow it????? You gag and curse but you don’t go inside and wash your hands to remove the hair…… you put up with it and continue to feed and water the farms.

feathers all over the chook run here as well.
…and someone said they were preparing for the rain – i have trenched a couple of beds for the winter crops and put irrigation in place and soaked the trenches. i am ready to plant if this rain comes.
morning.
I reckon I’m about a year behind lol.
Morning too.
I was bussing it to the airport early , the Americans, grooms rellies, decided to catch an earlier flight as it was cheaper.
It was great to meet the grooms older brother and his family, and 2 uncles. It’s been a few years since they were last in Oz and were rapt to be back.
The grooms parents cleared out a 2 car garage at their place into a big room with sofa beds for their stay. I had offered to help feed them and make some yummy foods to take over. Then I found out what they eat.
Maccas is brekky, lunch is chips drowned in gravy , hash browns with cheese melted on and steak for tea , no veges.
NO VEGES!?!.
They eat cheese with their steak and chips. They eat cheese with everything. For fruit they eat dried banana chips. I can’t even make a beaut quiche loaded with my home grown veges. It would be a waste, grooms mum said.
They wanted maccas for breakfast on the way back, but I said sorry , freeway is too busy to stop, plus that stuff’ll kill ya.
Now I know why they look so puzzled at my statement.
They didn’t say no to a lush chocolate cake.
Nup, they’re not getting cake.Tough.
I feel so sorry for them.
God bless America alright. It won’t be there for long.

I figured out why the rain hadn’t come yet. I hadn’t hung out the washing! Now it is on the line, the rain is coming! Just about to come down here very soon. It’s all overcast, I can hear thunder, and there are nice colours on the BoM heading my way!

Ouch! Silly girl. Although I’m sure I’ve done similar at least once myself…
My garden is now officially a jungle.
With all this rain everything has gone mad. My bird of Paradise has it’s first flower, and the Dietes robinsoniana was budding for the first time as well, until something ate half the bud. The Snail vine is taking over the world and the citrus are splitting and falling off.
The prunners will be needed everywhere soon.
I’m completely over rain.

not so old. We had the pair for about 7 1/2 years when they were given to my daughter, and I think they were still quite young. However galahs can live for much longer usually. Up to 50 years. She had become very sick with gastro last year and never put the weight back on that she lost. So I am not surprised, but I am sad. She leaves her mate Chester behind.

Poor Chester, he’ll miss her. Would it be a good idea to get another mate for him?

I will see what M wants to do. She has not lived with us since she got married, but because they are renting she could not take them with her. They are off on holidays now so she probably won’t want to make any decisions until they get back. If he seems lonely until then I might bring him inside so he has our company. But they do mate for life and can suffer separation anxiety. Originally her friends bought her one of them, but the person who sold them rang them within a couple of hours as the other was so upset he just screeched and screeched so offered to give the the other and a larger cage for no extra cost. Chester did seem to manage OK when they were separated when she was sick though.
Actually it would probably be a good idea to bring him in anyway and take advantage and give the aviary a good clean out…

ivan is pretty good tho’. he uses trellising well to grow b’nuts, toms, grapes, capsicums etc etc.
i like the idea of a vertical garden so more trellising coming to pepe’s.
he uses the old planters hoe well too and his idea of ventilation aisles down all his crops make sense.
gardening boy is pretty confident to allow that nickname – but he’s got a good source of homegrown – eh its worth it.

loved it :)
Thats what I need to do too, make more space between beds.
And, as I have wire mesh fencing all around them, make use of that to grow things up on!
Arvo, I’m sweating to death from weeding. The humidity’s sent me inside for a jug of iced water.
I’ve turned over beds for winter veges, cleaned up the strawb pot and tipped heaps of manures everywhere and dug them in.
Planting out some gift capsicum seedlings next, I hope it stays warm enough for them to get a hold.
For all the rain, the garden looks great :D
Morning HP.
Only productive thing we’ve done today is wash the dog. Poor thing is desperate to go outside, but she’s not allowed until she’s dry – she’ll just roll around in the dirt.

i’ve spread a trailer load of cow manure.
i’m planting spinach and lettuce seed/seedlings around the edge of the paths where i had spuds last summer.
planting some of the glorious big garlic bulbs (my daughter has supplied) in the bed where the lettuce has finished.
…and i’ve got broccoli seedlings/ kale for a patch in the summer garden/chook run which has also had cow manure spread.
irrigation has been figured out – it seems impossible but we might have a hot spell to come?
The zucchini plants are now in the compost. That leaves a nice bit of space for the winter seedlings I have going. Leeks, kale and celery.

I have some large garlic ‘round’s ‘ that formed one big bulb from last years planting..I’d read somewhere to plant them and one should get big cloves. is that right ?

Cooking a lovely beef and sage ragout with gnocci , for tea.
BG have you checked the BOM radar?

Aww, just saw a magpie on the birdbath for the first time ever, having a nice drink. He didn’t mind me watching him, but Tess barked and scared him off :(

—————————————-
sorry i was gone.
i think you can plant any firm garlic and get a result. probably the single bulb russian garlic is the best i’ve ever had. my daughters stuff is multi-clove garlic which she harvest a couple of months ago and is good eating – lots of it. not sure where is got it.

i have got leek seedlings and onion seedlings in the hothouse but no space for them in the ground at present and they are still too small to plant.
g’ay BG. sad that rattie died – they are lovely little pets even tho’ shortlived.
While you guys were palying in the garden….
I went to Mass
Went and saw the Almost Bimbos and picked up their lawn mower. Thats a job we so need to do here.
Had a sandwich for lunch and while I watched Towering Inferno on “go” I did the binding for a table runner…..
Now its pissing down.:D

Oh yeh, when we walk around the local oval at lunchtime (at work), there are people who come and have lunch in their cars in the carpark, and the maggies are always crowded around :)
At my dad’s old place the head magpie, Big Boss, was quite happy to fly up on to your hand for some food.

(For those that don’t know they are a bike club. You can’t join until you are 40. You can only be a JUNIOR member until you are 50. The motto is Grow Old Disgracefully.)
The annual general meeting (for the whole of Australia) is in Albany (about 2 hours away from me) for the next week. Might have to go for a ride..

We’ve just got home from my sister’s place. Pythons have taken two cockatiels and her canary and they found their resident possum dead on the shed floor. It’s a bad time all round it seems. :(

You don’t want too much storm water in the catchment, too high in the nitrogen level.

j/k
Just had a severe thunderstorm warning. Thunder is rumbling around and rain is just starting slowly.
I spent all day in the garden, glad I got done what I did!
I’ve never in my life seen rain as heavy as we just got for an hour. Bigger than any tropical downpour I’ve seen in Qld
I was folding clothes and putting away in rooms and went into my bedroom and whoa! flood water everywhere. The ensuite window was open and a waterfall was pouring in through it!
The guttering couldn’t cope. The patios under water , pond overflowing and the mini orchard is a pool..the mulch is running down the drive in a river. The fernery is ankle deep and where it meets the fence theres a pond forming..

I left my bedroom window open and have a damp floor, but no worse thank goodness. It is a north facing window and I am used to the wet weather coming from the south!
HP, how does GS cope with storms? I had someone have to cancel picking up a desk for freecycle because she can’t get her disabled son to leave the house, he is so terrified.

No problems at all, GS could sleep through a truck driving through the house.
We had a very noisy household when he was small.

it can be tough I know. My autistic cousin was terrified of dogs.
just been cleaning up a cage and clearing an area to bring Chester Galah inside. He has just been pacing up and down the perch in the aviary and I am sure he is missing Rosie. Every time I go outside he comes up to the front of the aviary and hangs off the wire. I’m thinking he might like to come inside where he will get a bit of human company. The cage is not really big enough but will do until we get something bigger. More important that he has some company I think. Taking a break as it is starting to rain again.

I agree, I think he will be more happy with the company, so the smaller cage won’t bother him too much.

Ooh, that’s a nice cage!!
My parents were in the same situation when I moved out – I could have taken my birds with me, but it would have been so boring for them with no one in the house all day long, so they stayed behind until I found them a really cool home at one of those touristy wildlife places.

Wow that’s a swish cage! Chester will love being inside with you BG, and he’ll be company for you too.
Arvo everyone
I’ve been taking advantage of the soft wet soil to pull out some weeds and dig over half the vegie bed. I’m being a bit careful nowadays and not pushing myself beyond my limits. The other half will wait!
We had a huge thunderstorm at 7am, right overhead. VERY loud thunder! Another 21mm in the RG.
Picked up the almost bimbo’s mower yesterday. Lawn needed a good mowing, better than the one I would have given it with our push mower.
I was out the back hooning with it. Lawn looks good now…..what lawn there is left that is.
Whats a day here without a disaster hey.
The short of it.. spotted a leak in the roof over my walk -in – robe….over my lovely 50s couture mother of the bride gown. It had dirty ceiling black water dripping right down the front of it. Cream silk and chiffon doesn’t take to kindly to black mud stains.
Tiles shifted on the roof (fixed) but sagged ceiling is waiting for ins co to assess. ins co said yes the dress is covered.
Me, into the car and hightailed it to the plaza , got new dress and now having a coffee.
It’s red/orange, drops from the bust , shoestring staps ,sort of baby doll style and a sheer shawl to cover older lady shoulders. plain but pretty. It will have to do.

Yes the dress is covered, thank goodness. It was in it’s full length cotton zip up cover and hanging flat to the wall. To them that was keeping it as safe as possible, not in with the rest of the jumbled clothing hanging space. I doubt it will dryclean.
It’s where we were going to store the our daughters wedding dress originally, but decided against it. that’s locked in the spare room at her house.
Phew. Wedding is this sat.
Hubbys on the roof again checking for any other loose tiles. It’s weird that a tile shifted because every row is tied down.

Been odd today, going past the back door and the dog not there to check on me.
Eva has been at the vet, her nails (esp one paw) have become so long she is hobbling. When she is excited she forgets and bounds around without a limp though!
Vet is giving her a knock out session (not a full general, much easier to reverse this stuff) so the nails can be cut and cauterised to stop the bleeding.
And a full checkup at the same time. She is 13 years old, but would pass for 4 or 5 is not for the grey hair around her muzzle.
I’ve got a night shift tonight so might get her some good meat as a way to take her mind off the discomfort.
>Wow.. thank goodness the wedding dress is safe!!
If I ever get married (very very very doubtful) it’ll be at a BBQ in the evening on the beach. Stubbies and thongs compulsory for everyone. Even the bride.

My grandson and I are working on a little speech he is going to give at the wedding, after the main speeches. (I’ll make sure he’s given a spot at the mic)
He has some wonderful things to about say his aunties and his mum ,and nana and poppa, that brought tears to my eyes. This ‘church mouse quiet’ child has been taking in more than I thought. And an apology to his mum for being a ratbag teen ,at times.
I can see his mum busrting with pride. I know I will be.
He want’s to say it in front of everyone, so he shall :)

I’m not getting any readings from my electronic rain gauge :(
I have changed the batteries in the receiver but it still doesn’t seem to be connecting. Might have to change the battery in the collector, but I am not going to go out in the rain to do that as it needs to be unscrewed from the top of the aviary.

Is there a special place you have to pop them BG??? Or are they just like a manual rain gauge and just popped in a clear area?

Aww, good on him :) I had a bunch of stuff I wanted to say to my parents, kicking around in the back of my head.. but I couldn’t do it on the day. Too flaked out from not eating for so long, too much adrenaline, and really over being the centre of attention by the time speeches came around.

Hi Anne! Last night I had a link I wanted to send you.. I’ll see if I can find it again.

Arvo, I’m sweating to death from weeding. The humidity’s sent me inside for a jug of iced water.
I’ve turned over beds for winter veges, cleaned up the strawb pot and tipped heaps of manures everywhere and dug them in.
Planting out some gift capsicum seedlings next, I hope it stays warm enough for them to get a hold.
For all the rain, the garden looks great :D
I dread to think what my garden is going to be like when I get home…MrS hasn’t had a chance to get out it into it. He was tied up with Scouts and Fire Brigade stuff over the weekend and got home too late during the week

I’m not getting any readings from my electronic rain gauge :(I have changed the batteries in the receiver but it still doesn’t seem to be connecting. Might have to change the battery in the collector, but I am not going to go out in the rain to do that as it needs to be unscrewed from the top of the aviary.
Is there a special place you have to pop them BG??? Or are they just like a manual rain gauge and just popped in a clear area?
some where clear and high for best capture.
Thanks…….. must be nice to read the weather and not get wet…..lol

I went to a wedding like that last November Collie. The groom’s brother was in thongs and stubbies and the reception was a bbq lunch at the bride and groom’s house

We got married in our backyard with just a small group of family and close friends. The rest of the mob were invited to a BBQ that night, that they thought was just MrBL’s birthday.

My grandson and I are working on a little speech he is going to give at the wedding, after the main speeches. (I’ll make sure he’s given a spot at the mic)He has some wonderful things to about say his aunties and his mum ,and nana and poppa, that brought tears to my eyes. This ‘church mouse quiet’ child has been taking in more than I thought. And an apology to his mum for being a ratbag teen ,at times.
I can see his mum busrting with pride. I know I will be.He want’s to say it in front of everyone, so he shall :)
Aww, good on him :) I had a bunch of stuff I wanted to say to my parents, kicking around in the back of my head.. but I couldn’t do it on the day. Too flaked out from not eating for so long, too much adrenaline, and really over being the centre of attention by the time speeches came around.
We didn’t have speeches at all.

it has two little “buckets” of a known capacity. In my one they are 1mm but you can get ones that are .5mm or less. It works like a see-saw. When one bucket if full, it tips and empties while the second one fills. Each time it tips it counts. So in the case of mine each count equals 1mm of rain.

Yeh, we gave the folks that option, but they wanted to say their bit – mostly mum just wanted a bragging opportunity I think :D And my FiL.. well you can’t keep him quiet at any kind of gathering! Although MiL tried.. :D We still giggle about his speech at work.

Was a bit traumatic, but she coped better than I thought she would. When we went to the wake, her friend’s family fussed over her which was nice…Mums friend had 4 sons, 14 ggrandchildren and I think it was 23 great-grandchildren! She was 5 years older than Mum. So far Mum has 9 grandchildren, 2 stepgrandchildren and 1 great-grandgranddaughter. Got a way to catch up to her friend

I had a tear or two this morning. Not for me, nor any exxy dress. Just the sheer overwhelming pace of life,

Max giving me a fright, but he’s fine now. I can breathe again.
Missing my interstate son and family. I want them here near me for daily hugs. Their union is faltering and they are seperating.

And, If he attends his sis’ wedding, how will I find a king kong sized suit with no buttons or zips?
The proverbial straw that broke the camels back though, breaking my fave tea mug.

Does anyone know, do dogs get conjunctivitis?
Tess has got yellowy discharge in one eye – started a day or two ago and we decided to just keep an eye on it and see if it sorts itself out. When I got home today there is more discharge than before and it’s annoying her now – she’s rubbing her face on things trying to get it out.
I can see on her bottom eyelid there is a spot where the skin doesn’t look normal – maybe a blocked pore? But it’s nowhere near as bad as a stye or anything like that – you have to look really closely to see it.
Just wondering if we should see if the vet can fit us in tonight, or whether it can wait another day or two… Mr Bon works from home tmw so he could take her during the day.

I would try and get her to the vet asap if you can. If she has a grass seed or other foreign object in her eye it could do permanent damage. Even if it is something like conjunctivitis it will be painful and will only get worse if left untreated.

Thanks bg – I have just been thinking the same thing. It’s hard with MR Bon not home yet, because I know that in his absence I can go into worried mum mode and overreact to things – but I think this isn’t one of those times. I’ll see if I can make an appointment for tonight, if Mr Bon can get home in time.
Hmph.. they’re engaged.
Rats – they’re booked full so they’ve just asked me to bring her in now, and they’ll try to squeeze her in. I hate going to the vet without Mr Bon, but oh well – off we go :)
Thanks for the advice BG!

Welcome back Anne :)
Whew, back from the vet.
He had a really good poke around and couldn’t find any foreign objects, or any damage e.g. scratches to different bits of the eye. So most likely thing is that it was an infection that started it, then Tess caused the slight swelling etc herself when trying to rub at it. Got some eyedrops for her for the next week.
Wasn’t too bad going without Mr Bon – the vet asked me if I was able to hold her still, or should he take her out the back to get a vet nurse to help.. I said err, I think the nurse is a good option! In any case watching him poking around at her eye was completely grossing me out. So I heard them go out the back and the nurse come out to help… then a loud crash bang boom! .. and somebody else calling out, “Do you need a hand??”
So it took one vet and two nurses, but Tess doesn’t hold grudges, no matter what happens at the vet she always LOVES going in there.. think she’s a bit slow personally :D

Vets are smart enough to give them tasty bits after it’s all over and to part as friends..
Eva came out of her little thing ok, still hobbling but I guess her paws will be sore for a few days. She is much brighter tonight as I was off to work than she was this morning.
Glad I got it done, total bill was about $170.

better to be safe than sorry, as they say.
When the kids were mere babes, their father was often away on business. Miss M, who was the apple of his eye and had him wrapped around her little finger, would always seem to get sick while he was away. Sudden pains and all sorts of things. Take her to the doctor and somehow the pain had moved from her tummy, causing her to double up, to this obscure spot on her leg or somewhere and didn’t really seem to much of a pain at all. After this had happened a couple of times the doctor started to ask me if everything was OK at home! I was sooooo embarrassed. Everything was alright, but obviously Daddy’s Little Girl was missing his attention and so was getting it in other ways!!

Glad Eva is feeling better now. It is so worrying when our furkids are not well, as they can’t tell us what the matter is.

Doesn’t work on all dogs though! Rottie LOVES the vet nurse who ran puppy preschool, but won’t have a bar of the vets themselves – she’s had so many injections and she does hold a grudge. Has to be tricked and cajoled and manhandled into the consulting room, whereas Tess barrels in as happy as Larry.
What kind of maintenance will Eva’s nails need now? Just occasional wearing down with a file or something?
We’re lucky with Tess, she seems to wear hers down naturally, I suppose it’s all the paving in the backyard..

When I was in primary school and my social anxiety was really bad, I would feel so ill first thing in the morning.. and then be fine by 9:30. I was too young to work out what was going on, but my parents worked it out pretty quickly. Still happens to me now actually, but I can usually tell which are just “I don’t want to go to work pains”, that will clear up during the drive to work, and which pains are going to hang around all day. Unpleasant day at work when I get it wrong though :(

once I realised what was going on I was able to deal with it by talking to her about missing daddy, but for I while there I would get in a panic and rush her to the doctor only to be told nothing was wrong with her. I would then feel bad for over-reacting, but as far as I knew it was a real emergency.

More walks I think. Been slack due to lots of work lately.
Hopefully Eva doesn’t have anything underlying wrong, she is 13 year old now so there might be arthritis maybe. When she is happy – when I get home for example – she runs around like she is a puppy again. All forgotten. She is really fit and still fast..
Yesterday at the vet she just wanted to go and play with all the sounds and smells out the back.. No hobbling.

Yeh, same with the rottie. She would put on a massive show of being too sore to go for a walk, too sore to climb on to a couch, wouldn’t even haul her aching body around for treats or anything – and then when my brother would get home, she would be leaping about like a pup with no issues. I don’t think she was necessarily manipulating us when she was behaving as if she was really sore – I do think that when they’re excited they must block out a lot of the pain. But I’m sure she hams it up sometimes for her own purposes :D

Welcome back Anne :)
yep welcome back :)
Until you’re off again.
I don’t know how you do it. I can be busy but I couldn’t drive the amount you do, mentally tiring.
(says me who went to bed way to early and now I’m awake for the day at 2.15 am)

I’m cooking a massive choc cake for the yanks. They’re right, they need it. We have a post wedding BBQ on sunday for them, then I take them back to the airport.
==========Not too massive I hope, they might be needed extra seats…
Too bad. it feeds 20 (if you have a moderate slice)
Even the wedding menu had to be changed for their table, they don’t do moroccan chicken or cranberry lamb fillet, much less the beautiful vegetarian meals on offer.
And I am assured, this is what they all eat at home, the nanas and pops, aunties and extended families. And at the wedding, they want this rhubarb ‘vegetable’ dish which is a very sweet dish topped with marshmallows and baked. I tasted. it’s gross. It’s like putting a syrupy frothy rhubarb crumble over your steak.

sounds like she will be OK. Bet you’re glad you went though.
Yep, and her eye looks heaps better already. Thanks for giving me the assurance I needed that I wasn’t being an overly anxious cotton-wool doggie-mum :)
better to be safe than sorry, as they say.
When the kids were mere babes, their father was often away on business. Miss M, who was the apple of his eye and had him wrapped around her little finger, would always seem to get sick while he was away. Sudden pains and all sorts of things. Take her to the doctor and somehow the pain had moved from her tummy, causing her to double up, to this obscure spot on her leg or somewhere and didn’t really seem to much of a pain at all. After this had happened a couple of times the doctor started to ask me if everything was OK at home! I was sooooo embarrassed. Everything was alright, but obviously Daddy’s Little Girl was missing his attention and so was getting it in other ways!!
Oh poor kid.
I have a daughter like that BG, but a mummys girl who clung tight to me when little. She’s a mini me and she’s getting married on sat. The youngest daughter is the daddys girl.
And if those two don’t stop blubbering over the father of the brides speech, I’m gunna ban em both lol.

Walking her more is good for you too ; )
Oh look, I’m taking up the LHC. I’ll have a milo then I’ll see if i can go back to sleep.

YUK!
>Walking her more is good for you too ; )
I know, I know..
Nup, sleep eludes me, so I raided the pantry and fridge for things to do.
I’ve made short pastry and fridged it. Raided apple trees and the bowlful I had and chopped them. They can steep with lemon jiuce over until I can gently stew them.
Mmm warm apple sultana and walnut pie..
Chopped 2 bags of rhubarb and steeping it with orange juice and sugar, will bottle that tomorrow (later today!) and boil the jars.
Thats if i can function.
Mmm rhubarb and pistachio strudle and fresh egg custard..
Oh the new chooks are laying now :D
They’re small 40 grammers atm but beaut, they’ll get bigger.

Whew, back from the vet.He had a really good poke around and couldn’t find any foreign objects, or any damage e.g. scratches to different bits of the eye. So most likely thing is that it was an infection that started it, then Tess caused the slight swelling etc herself when trying to rub at it. Got some eyedrops for her for the next week.
Wasn’t too bad going without Mr Bon – the vet asked me if I was able to hold her still, or should he take her out the back to get a vet nurse to help.. I said err, I think the nurse is a good option! In any case watching him poking around at her eye was completely grossing me out. So I heard them go out the back and the nurse come out to help… then a loud crash bang boom! .. and somebody else calling out, “Do you need a hand??”
So it took one vet and two nurses, but Tess doesn’t hold grudges, no matter what happens at the vet she always LOVES going in there.. think she’s a bit slow personally :D
we took a friendly fat cocker spaniel to the vet once, and I lifted him up on the stainless steel table and he was soooo happy, and soooo smilye and wagging his tail and he was loving the fact he was standing on the table and we were patting and hugging and then the rectal thermometer entered the room and entered his butt and he was still all smiley… but then… he stopped moving stared straight ahead with this “WTF is that up my arse” look and then tried to turn around to see what that cold thing was the Vet was holding back there.
He then looked at me and the look in his eyes was “Is this your idea of a joke?”
It was sooooo hard not to laugh so I just hugged the little dog and said, “C’mon fella, he’s just taking your temperature”

hehe, that’s pretty similar to how Tess reacts to the thermometer :) Luckily, the moment she gets a treat she permanently forgets all the unpleasantness, so she’s always happy to go to the vet!

ROFL! You and me both.
Teehee..
A newlywed farmer and his wife were visited by her mother, who immediately demanded an inspection of the place. The farmer had genuinely tried to be friendly to his new mother-in-law, hoping that it could be a friendly, non-antagonistic relationship.
All to no avail though, as she kept nagging them at every opportunity, demanding changes, offering unwanted advice, and generally making life unbearable to the farmer and his new bride.
While they were walking through the barn, during the forced inspection, the farmer’s mule suddenly reared up and kicked the mother-in-law in the head, killing her instantly. It was a shock to all no matter their feelings toward her demanding ways.
At the funeral service a few days later, the farmer stood near the casket and greeted folks as they walked by. The pastor noticed that whenever a woman would whisper something to the farmer, he would nod his head yes and say something.
Whenever a man walked by and whispered to the farmer, however, he would shake his head no, and mumble a reply.
Very curious as to this bizarre behavior, the pastor later asked the farmer what that was all about.
The farmer replied, “The women would say, ‘What a terrible tragedy’ and I would nod my head and say, ‘Yes, it was.’ The men would then ask, ‘Can I borrow that mule?’ and I would shake my head and say, ‘Can’t. It’s all booked up for a year.’”

Was just coming back from the big smoke on the bike.
Cruising up the steepest hill in the area and I see two 4wds racing, side by side, coming up behind me (overtaking lane) very fast. It’s a 110kmh zone. So I knock it back a couple, add a 100kmh to my speed, problem solved. Gee I like bikes.
Hadn’t meant to go that fast but no harm done.

I was thinking at first that it was photoshopped, but I’m not sure. The shadow under the top bird makes it look as if it is real, but some people are very clever at digitally altering photos

cool!
Morning. Lovely and cool here and the garden looks lovely and fresh. Lot’s of lush new growth about :D
It’s spicy raisin toast and cuppacinos on the fernery cafe table in 20 mins.
Taking orders.
I have a timeline of events happening between this morning and sunday and I must stay on track and organised.
Some of it to do with GS and getting him ready , haircut, showered , suit ect for saturday.
Tomorrow he’s off to Mt Eliza to do the ‘ropes program’ with Vic Police and he’s being picked up at 6 am.
Filling in forms for GS’s disability support housing, and the silly buggers have sent me the wrong forms. These ones are for asylum seekers.. they want to know what country are you from and what mode of transport you used to get here, plane, boat . How many are in the family and are they all your children. Ect.
I could say the boy was sent to us on a spacecraft that dumped him and took off at light speed.
I told the case manager too, (after a couple tough days) that the next rage GS goes into I will take him to the local police station and chain him to the flagpole out the front and drive off.
I feel sorry for the Flagpole…
btw, Lucky1, you have Mail!!!

yes Dench’s meats, Werribee Plaza.
They don’t advertise the online payment thing, but I asked if I could as there’s times I can’t get out, and was granted my wish :)
But even better than that, hows this for fab service!!!
We went to pick up hubbys hire suit and we were discussing giant sons clothing dilemma , well the attendant said bring him in and we will see what we have. I said cannot bring him in, but I know his size 3 XL.
So he had a look about and came out with dark brown gabadine elasticised waisted trousers, and a beautiful microfibre ivory shirt to match.
I couldn’t whip out the card quick enough to pay for them, but the fella said hang on..there’s a special on , if you get 5 suits (4 groomsmen and groom got their suits from here, Parisi ) you get the 6 th free. So he added the clothes to the list and gave the clothes to us for nothing!!!!
I go so excited I tore home and got the kid to try them on and he looks terrific!
The shirt does have buttons but they are so tiny, he’s agreed to leave them intact lol.
:D :D :D

I couldn’t whip out the card quick enough to pay for them, but the fella said hang on..there’s a special on , if you get 5 suits (4 groomsmen and groom got their suits from here, Parisi ) you get the 6 th free. So he added the clothes to the list and gave the clothes to us for nothing!!!!I go so excited I tore home and got the kid to try them on and he looks terrific!
The shirt does have buttons but they are so tiny, he’s agreed to leave them intact lol.:D :D :D
Cool!! How exciting :)

Excellent, what a wonderful solution to your dilemma! Isn’t it good when something goes so right? What a great shop LOL!
Arvo all

Hope you shop there again to reward the honesty.. 8^)
Out on a ride today. It’s 38 here in Perth today, Not bad once you are moving though.
Went to a shop in the centre of Perth called The Leather Shop. They have home leatherwork stuff as well as jackets, pants etc etc. Need a jacket for the biking. With a name like The Leather Shop I was expecting the person behind the counter to be a large butch fella name Wayne or Bruce with earings in his earings.. Amongst other places. It was staffed by two little old ladies who were so sweet, like the favourite old aunty we all had. One of them made leather jackets to fit, right there in the shop. She pulled out the biggest one she had and immediately sized me, that jacket with an inch out of the shoulder, two more inches added in the arms, and the modification of the shoulder would shorten the arms perfectly. Would I like zippers in the cuffs… Inspires confidence when someone with such strong skills is able to do stuff like that by eye. I’d have no hope.
Pulled into a HJ to rehydrate. No sooner had I sat down inside with the drink a group of youths crowded around the bike outside. Look out I thought. Next thing the cameras came out. They were foreign students who had a thing for Hayabusas.
Offered them a copy of my background image (I was on this laptop) but he excitedly gushed that he “loves that bike sooo much but had never seen one in the flesh!”
Kinda weird having someone so gaga over something you own. A first for me.
Showed them the image but they were happy with the pictures they took.

You bet we will!
In fact hubby was so rapt he went back for some t shirts for himself, with extra long for blokes with long torsos.
And that was despite the outfit not being a suit , GS’s not one of the wedding party, and despite us needing to buy it outright and not a hire..(we couldn’t hand back clothes GS wore, he has a terrible skin cond)
Arvo too.
I had to have a forced nana nap as my heart was going 10 to a doz..
Then I realised the coffee flavoured chocolates hubby got me are choc coated coffee beans called ‘hot shots’ and I was just throwing them down! LOL. I couldn’t sit still if I tried.
All good now:)
Were off again shortly for a wedding rehearsal. Only the immediate wedding party is required, but hubby wants me to hold his hand.
Went to watch the drags at the Perth Motorplex last night. I stayed in Perth last night.
I think it was BG who was into Ducatis?
BG: the bikes which were racing were all doing 11.3->10.3 second 1/4 miles. One that surprised me was a 1098S that was doing 10.5! I didn’t think they were that quick! It sounded magnificent too. I could have believed it if it were a 1098R, but they are $45-50,000. The rider said his “S” was $24,000 second hand.
But I liked the guy who had a 1995 GSXR1100 which cost him $4000. He was doing 11.0 seconds on a bike with 65,000km and he’d done nothing except changed the air cleaner. Good value there.
Most of the bikes were around the 1000-1100cc, though there was an R6 pulling close to 11 flat as well. Didn’t think they were that quick. Though it was suffering , it’s clutch was starting to get 2nd hand from all the hard starts.
In case anyone is thinking it, NO I have no interest in racing my bike. Last time I raced a bike at the drags I crashed and can’t afford to bend this one! I am told they are good for sub 10 second 1/4 miles without modification (the Hayabusa is the quickest production bike ever made), but I get enough buzz from short squirts on the open road. No need to thrash it, have nothing to prove. Besides, if I go below a 10.0 second 1/4 they ban you until you get a competition class drag racing licence.
sounds like a successful day for you Collie. I have found that bikes will always attract an audience and are good for conversation starters :)
Was going to go down to Albany today for a ride, but was so sore this morning! Wrists and elbows had muscles I didn’t know were there! So home tonight and maybe tomorrow. Collie is roughly 1/2 way. Perth to Albany is 400km. I think you average 100km/h with a fuel stop as the limit here is 110. Very few towns along the way. Be lots of radar traps though I bet.
Maybe tomorrow.
Want to see the huge crowd of bikes there for the Ulysses club AGM. Good crowd I hear.

I’m into Moto Guzzi motorcycles, but my daughter once owned a Ducati Monster. Bubba Louie’s other half is a Ducati rider.

if you are getting sore wrists and elbows then you might be tensing up your arms too much, unless it was a really long ride. When riding think about keeping your shoulders and arms relaxed with your elbows as far down and close to your body as the reach will allow you. Try and support your weight with your back muscles and your thighs instead of leaning on your hands. It takes a bit of getting used to but you will find the riding less tiring and the bike easier to handle.
>I’m into Moto Guzzi motorcycles, but my daughter once owned a Ducati Monster. Bubba Louie’s other half is a Ducati rider.
Ahh, ok.
Didn’t see any Guzzis. Would have heard a Guzzi, they have a lovely note as well! Not sure they are the high performance type, but I’ve learned I’m not a good judge of brands in that regard! 8^)

my guzzi is not high performance but they do have racing models. And yes, they have that lovely V-twin sound to them.

Ok, I’ll give that a go!
Noticed there is a big difference when going slow and the wind is not supporting my considerable bulk!
Time to get moving.. Have to go to the Transport dept and see about transferring the bike to me. Probably should have done it before now but I’ll spin a good story if they say anything.

Is that the one with the stuffed animals all over the shop?
We tried a bunch of leather places in the CBD when Mr Bon needed a jacket – ended up at a place with a weird name.. something like “Sinnika for Leather”

I think THIS is it…
It’s on the north bound one way street which goes up over the railway line..
It’s between Hay and Murray Streets, about 1/2 way between the eastern end of those malls..

I’m told a puppy is a good way to be invited back WITH the puppy!

Not at the moment. His old Duc has been off the road for years now, waiting to be restored to it’s former glory. LOL
He’s riding a Buell now.
Once apon a time we both had Morinis. They used to attract a bit of attention, given how rare they are in Aus.
>His old Duc has been off the road for years now, waiting to be restored to it’s former glory.
There’s a mob called Vee Two that rebuilds Dukes better than new. That’s for people for whom time is a problem and money isn’t I guess.
I’ve heard very good things about this mob.

Morning, just.
Gorgeous day, I’ve been sitting outside for brekky, then picked heaps of gerberas for inside. Carefully though as even the flowers have red back nests in them!
Tomorrows weather will be perfect too, 24C sunny , no rain and a slight breeze :D

Although I didn’t sleep..I was up at 3 am patching up giant son injuries from crashing a trail bike intom a fence. He’s ok, but will bruise. Possible hairline fracture in a wrist, but he said “it’s ok mum I can still bend it”.
He bought this bike off a mate who’s mum said he had too many. and theres no tellling him you need a helmut and safety gear, so it will happen again. Unless I get out thet padlock and chain and take him to that flagpole..
He got picked up at 6 am to go to ropes prog, and I went back to bed.

Yes , got gravel rash across his face…I will pound it with tattoo covering make up best I can. Read pound
He didn’t sleep all night either, so what he will get out of todays prog, I have no idea. He said he can sleep in the support workers car for the 2 hour trip.

I was new to riding when I had mine and it was an absolute mongrel to start and MrBL sold his to pay for his ticket to London.
MrBL’s ended up in the Keith Williams collection (former owner of Hamilton Is). When the collection was auctioned he was tempted to buy it back but we already owned too many bikes.
There are five under the house now, in various states of repair. LOL

Nope. Neither one is interested in bikes, and I must admit to being relieved. Hypocritical I know.

Back, had a lovely arvo, I’m swilling from fruit punch. But I can’t stay still for that long lol, had to go to nail salon appt and I now have pink nails with red diamente hearts on. They’re so cute!
There’s heaps to do at home. I raided the tomatoes again and picked large green ones too. fried green tomatoes with pork chops for tea. and salads.
The saffron bulbs are up. I do hope they flower this year. Although Mr. GA himself said it’s a fluke to get saffron bulbs that actually flower, so try some more bulbs from another supplier. Yessir.
It’s quiet in here eh.
It’s quiet in here eh.

I have trimmed the hedge today and ignored the weeds.
I’ve started painting again, watercolours this time, and birds are what I want to do. We saw a demo by a well known, brilliant wildlife artist last week and he has inspired me.

I made this bag over a couple of days. The lady who designed it is selling the pattern for $4.00 and all money is going to the people of a town called Baseco in Manila . Her friends are missionaries over there and let Dawn know of the people’s plight. These people live in a rubbish dump. FGS

It’s chaos disorder and mayhem here..as usual!
Hubbys missing..well not really but it seems his truck may have broken down out bush somewhere and he has no reception. I’m getting garbled messages. He started work at 6.30 am this morning.
Youngest daughter just broke it off with her boyfriend of 2 years, and she’s replaced him at the wedding with one of her friends. She’s a mess. Gone through 3 box’s of tissues and I told her better calm down, go to the front door, open it and shout ‘NEXT’ then shut it and forget him ,as she doesn’t want red puffy eyes for tomorrow. I ran her a bath with lots of scented things in it and she’s right.
Why do some young men start acting so nasty, then repent, only to do it again. I will never figure that one out. Seems this one might have some mood problems.
Giant sons pulled up so sore today from his crash on the trail bike last night, that he can barely move. And his face is a mess. Looks like he’s done 10 rounds with a boomer.
Panadol and betadine applied and he’s just gone to bed now, having not slept for over 48 hours. I have left strict instructions that no one wakes him until 2 pm tomorrow.
Oh update on hubby, he’s back in civilisation..his truck broke down near Castlemain. He will be home soon. Phew! :D

Why do some young men start acting so nasty, then repent, only to do it again. I will never figure that one out. Seems this one might have some mood problems.Giant sons pulled up so sore today from his crash on the trail bike last night, that he can barely move. And his face is a mess. Looks like he’s done 10 rounds with a boomer.
Panadol and betadine applied and he’s just gone to bed now, having not slept for over 48 hours. I have left strict instructions that no one wakes him until 2 pm tomorrow.Oh update on hubby, he’s back in civilisation..his truck broke down near Castlemain. He will be home soon. Phew! :D
I don’t know how you do it… I’d be booked into the funny farm after all that!!
life as usual hey HP?

There’s no time to go mad.
I just take Max and go to bed, telling him how pretty he is and a good boy as I’m giving him a brush. Then he spends the night with his head on my feet snoring and farting.
Hey I founnd a cute little handbag in my bag collection that perfectly suits the colour of my dress. But big enough to shove my camera in. Yay!

Yup, just another day. As they say, it will be alright on the night :D
Right, better let Max out for his pee pee, then off to bed for me.
We’ll be up and attem early and a whole day of waxing , make up and hair do’s.
Re the wedding ceremony, it’s going to be fab :)
There’s one change that I came up with that everyone loves.. hubby walking his daughter down the aisle. What we are going to do is,, he walks her to the halfway point then stops, take his daughters hand and holds it out to the groom, as to summon him, then when the groom gets there, hubby places her hand on the grooms and holds their hands together, giving his blessing, then hubby takes a step back and the bride and groom walk the rest of the way together :)
Even I got teary over that one.

Won’t be for a week or two though, because the kids lost his wallet with savings, ID, medicare , pension and health care cards, today.
He needs all of them replaced asap.
This is about the 3rd lot. I’m going to rivet the next lot to him.

I had a lovely male friend who always turned up on the doorstep every time I broke up with someone. I’m sure Mum was behind it but he was more like a brother to me. She never did admit to it.

this is the second time I have been along. Something I had been thinking of doing for years and figured I have more time now and it would be good for me to develop some networks of my own.

the working bee was in Ormond. It is the SE branch so encompasses a pretty wide area, there was someone from Berwick there. I don’t think your garden would fit into their idea of permaculture though. Hoping once I am a bit more of a regular that I will be able to have a working bee at my place. There is also a group called Permablitz who help you design and get your garden going. But you need to attend a few before they come and do yours.

LOL Pepe, no but we got told to start a co putting couples together , Cupids Grannies , Love Angels, Mothers Love, or contact Hollywood to make a tele movie about it, or join asio as they need our skills LOL!
Grooms mum (lets call her Jan) and I could write a book about the adventure that took a couple months. It would contain some very funny moments , like when were trying to get rid of the kids partners, Jan told her sons ex gf that he was sick with a skin condition “skinitus”, and had sent him to the US to be with his brother to see a specialist over there.
I nearly died laughing when she told me!
And the time she ‘stole’ back the expensive 8 week old puppy the boy had bought the girl and telling her it ran home to him, 7 times LOL.
And when I ‘stole’ my daughters phone out of her handbag when she was asleep (to stop her feral bf contacting her) crawling across her floor in the dark and putting my knee on a purfume bottles star shaped top, it killed! and then chiding the girl the next day for losing her phone lol! And me replying to his texts as if I was her, telling him I’d found someone else so go away, which caused the spurned ex to scream abuse at her and do burn outs in front of my house in his car, which I in turn, used to show her what a bad charactor he was..
As I said we could write a book. The looks on our kids faces at the wedding was priceless lol!
Jan is so chuffed about our success and the love of her new daughter in law, that shes eyeing off another one of my daughters for her remaining single son! they are scarpering! LOL
I’m so wrecked after the big weekend and all the dramas of the past few weeks that I’ve run out of puff. I had a long nap earlier, after a big BBQ party and seeing the Americans back to the airport.. I won’t be lifting a finger for a week!

Well tomorrow case manager here and we have to run about replacing GS’s ID cards..
But I need a rest.
One drama before the wedding..my hair appt!
No details, it looked ok after all, but not the style I wanted. I’ll recover.
One last thing, when the newlyweds left the reception in their limo, daughter rang my phone to say she’d left her going away outfit at home. They were staying at the Crown Towers for the night and when the limo pulled up and she got out, she caused a near riot with photographers who were waiting for someone else to arrive.
This beautiful bride stole someone elses limelight LOL!
Crown Towers management thought their celebs had arrived, but found the gorgeous young couple much more interesting and prettier, and upgraded them to an Excecutive Suite and showered them with gifts!!
they are off to Fiji tomorrow!

Morning , I’m in and out in a flash.
Gorgeous fairytale wedding was fantastic :) 100s of pics to dl to the pc, later. GS had a blast! Lot’s of stories! Grooms mum and I had em in stiches with our confession! The pats on the back went on for 20 minutes LOL
——-
are you sure you two flashy brides mums weren’t flashing ??
ok -I’ll wait for the pics.
LOL Pepe, no but we got told to start a co putting couples together , Cupids Grannies , Love Angels, Mothers Love, or contact Hollywood to make a tele movie about it, or join asio as they need our skills LOL!
Grooms mum (lets call her Jan) and I could write a book about the adventure that took a couple months. It would contain some very funny moments , like when were trying to get rid of the kids partners, Jan told her sons ex gf that he was sick with a skin condition “skinitus”, and had sent him to the US to be with his brother to see a specialist over there. I nearly died laughing when she told me!
And the time she ‘stole’ back the expensive 8 week old puppy the boy had bought the girl and telling her it ran home to him, 7 times LOL.
And when I ‘stole’ my daughters phone out of her handbag when she was asleep (to stop her feral bf contacting her) crawling across her floor in the dark and putting my knee on a purfume bottles star shaped top, it killed! and then chiding the girl the next day for losing her phone lol! And me replying to his texts as if I was her, telling him I’d found someone else so go away, which caused the spurned ex to scream abuse at her and do burn outs in front of my house in his car, which I in turn, used to show her what a bad charactor he was..As I said we could write a book. The looks on our kids faces at the wedding was priceless lol!
Jan is so chuffed about our success and the love of her new daughter in law, that shes eyeing off another one of my daughters for her remaining single son! they are scarpering! LOL

Well if they consummate their wedding and conceive a Baby Boy, then the name will surely have to be Tomas because unfortunately TC Tomas is honing down on Fijian waters and will past by the Island to the East this afternoon and tomorrow morning.

I hear that most of the resorts will hold up pretty well, its just the rest of the country and its infrastructure. The Fiji BOM has a decent site, but it is sooooo slooooow. Prolly everyone trying to get online!

One last thing, when the newlyweds left the reception in their limo, daughter rang my phone to say she’d left her going away outfit at home. They were staying at the Crown Towers for the night and when the limo pulled up and she got out, she caused a near riot with photographers who were waiting for someone else to arrive.
This beautiful bride stole someone elses limelight LOL!Crown Towers management thought their celebs had arrived, but found the gorgeous young couple much more interesting and prettier, and upgraded them to an Excecutive Suite and showered them with gifts!!

Right an update, they are in Syd and the flight to Fiji has been cancelled. GOOD!!
They stay in syd overnight and get an update about Fiji tomorrow, and if it’s still no go then they will head to Perth.
Thank goodness shes’ little miss organised’ and got top travel insurance, if they don’t get to Fiji at all, their trip will be refunded.
The poor grooms parents were having kittens. So were we.
Today a package arrived for me and made funny noises . After the police bomb squad got through with it all I had left was Carob pods…………..:)
Thanks Pepe for that. We will make down to your place but at the moment things are not going the way they should.
Now to shell them and see what happens:)

The latest from Fiji is that the TC is still a fair way of the coast, and the Airport is still likely to remain open, Nadi being on the Western side is least likely to cop the full force of Tomas… There is a curfew which means everyone has to remain in their houses and no-one is out on the streets. That was lifted for an hour or so earlier so people could get supplies from the shops.

LOL – hope the cops didn’t use their x-ray.
leave one pod to dry out and peel open of its own accord. i got the original seed from street trees in Sedan. the pods had fallen to the ground and – altho’ the old memory is dim – i suspect the pods must have opened because i don’t remember extracting the seed. if you extract all the seed now they will look green – and might not be ready for planting?
look forward to seeing youse all when you’re ready.

Nadi is the only place to land Internationally I believe, and if anything is the furthest you will get from TC Tomas. See this Map here of the Coral Coast to the south of Nadi and you’ll see the Outriggers Resort Location.
If anything, they will be on the sheltered side of the Island, but the real concern is whether or not the local infrastructure survives a TC, including whether the people will still be so relaxed when their Govt fail to restore services as soon as possible???
But then again, travelling towards a TC in your plane to enjoy a Honeymoon could be quite exciting!
And this forecast track for TC Tomas shows him missing Fiji by a reasonable gap…. let’s hope he doesn’t wobble?

Whew made it to the top.. now back to work :(
Hello! I’m back in my own back yard. Be it a very wet back yard.
Had a lovely week at the beach but I’m home for some well earned R&R. Those grand kids are too much for me. At 1yo and 3yo, I’ve forgotten what hard work they can be. I now fully understand why you have your kids while you’re young.
Got 4 days of sunshine at the coast but the other 3 were misurable weatherwise. We have booked the same house for our family Christmas next December. Not sure where 10 of us will sleep but I hope I am in the garage or something. At least it will be quiet.
I haven’t read much of the latest posts but I’m trying to wade through most of it. I just hope everyone is well and happy. I’ll be back to chat later. Hopefully tonight.
Hi Pom! Welcome back :)
Hey Pomolo, welcome back :)

I’m quite exhausted. The day started off quiet enough, but then I had a job interview at 2pm which went for an hour, after which I picked up Miss N and we went to the chiropractor. When we got home Chester’s new cage had arrived so I spent the next couple of hours assembling it.
And here he is in his new home…
A bit bare now but tomorrow I will get the toys from the aviary and put them in.

no probs I shelled a couple and they look ok but I’ll dry the rest and see what happens. I have some Curry Tree seeds if interested. Ours is in a large pot and does well and her indoors uses it when she does asian cooking to add flavour.

Of course you talked too much HP. But I expected that. I checked out the wedding and it all looked beautiful. The bridesmaids in pink was a perfect choice. Hope now that Fiji is sunny and quiet for the happy couples honeymoon.
One more post and I’m up to date.
We have had 12inches of rain so far this month and a lot of plants are showing signs of too much water. Haven’t had a chance to check out everything since our return but the Michelia champaca foliage is very droopy. Water is the only thing I can find as a cause. Abutilons are also suffering. One magnolia doesn’t look good though the other one is fine, so far. Calanchoe (sp) leaves are also limp where they should be waxy and stiff. Won’t break my heart to lose them but I treasure my trees.
On the other hand everything else is powering on because of the excess rain so I can’t complain. MrP is complaining though because the grass is long and too wet to mow.
All we need is more rain from the cyclone to upset the apple cart even further. How could it possibly be that water is turning ou to be a nuisance?
One more question if I may.
Anyone have the name of a sub-tropical creeper to about 12ft that will stand frosts. Not Pandorea or Wisteria because I have them already. Any suggestions would be a help.

Passionfruit? I have just found one in my yard! Haven’t seen it before, there I was cleaning up along the fenceline when I found a half eaten (well it looked like) apple…. I thought “Ruddy kids have been chucking half eaten apples in me yard” only to see heaps of old wrinkly apples and then I thought “Who has a ruddy apple tree?” and then I looked up and up and up and sure enough I spotted a green passionfruit on a vine that has climbed all over the top of an old Bottlebrush, and then I saw two ripe fruit!!!!
So the ladder came out and I got to enjoy a passionfruit….

That’s still going to be quite an eye opener of a trip! All the best to ‘em.
heh heh heh heh…
Last night was nice and cool and I had the outside lights on, well the bugs and moths and katydids and cicadas all gathered around and at ground level, the Cane Toads looked skyward and from the rafters above the Green Tree Frogs waited in ambush. I counted 9 Green Tree Froggies and a couple of those Rocket Frogs with the green racing stripes.
Well one GTF jumped at a passing bug and then realised there was no rafter beneath his feet and splot, he hit the pavers, so feeling sorry for the poor guy, I caught a grasshopper and placed him in front of the GTF’s nose… the grasshopper wriggled once and the GTF scoffed him up… so GTF sat there with a grasshopper leg hanging out his mouth.
Then I found a cicada, and when I picked it up, it went Buzzzzzzzzzzz. So I placed that in front of the GTF. No movement from either bug nor frog. Then a baby GTF wandered past and bumped into the cicada and the cicada went Buzzzzzzzzzzz. Bad mistake as the bigger GTF went scoff. Now the GTF had a grasshopper leg hanging out of his gob and a cicada in there as well. The funny thing was that everytime the GTF opened his mouth, the cicada would go Buzzzzzzzzz.!
So I caught a black beetle and plonked him in front of the GTF…. the beetle crawled over the GTF so out of annoyment, the GTF ate the beetle too. The cicada went Buzzzzzzzzz.
So there’s this GTF with 3 bugs in his gob and he is trying so hard to swallow, one eye is closing in a wince and each time he goes to swallow, the cicada goes Buzzzzzzzz. Eventually the three go down and there is one huge fat GTF sitting and not moving.
This morning, I wake up thinking how did the GTF frog go, so I head out to where he feasted last night and there is one helluva massive GTF turd just sitting there!!!!
Buzzzzzzz.
pain master said:
Buzzzzzzz.
well I am glad he didn’t choke on that lot! Imagine having a cicada buzzing in your stomach!

i don’t think I’d be going. Fiji has been declared a disaster zone, so even if the weather has cleared up the infrastructure could be crap.
Me neither. I’m waiting to hear how they went but no word so far. I’m sure I’ll hear something soon. I haven’t time to worry, it’s been a ‘fight night’ day with giant son.
Was that a pin i just heard drop?
I didn’t get the first job I interviewed for, and will hear about the second one by the end of the week. They said they had lots of quality applicants but only one position to fill.

Oh sorry to hear that BG. Fingers crossed for the second one!

One more question if I may.Anyone have the name of a sub-tropical creeper to about 12ft that will stand frosts. Not Pandorea or Wisteria because I have them already. Any suggestions would be a help.
Passionfruit? I have just found one in my yard! Haven’t seen it before, there I was cleaning up along the fenceline when I found a half eaten (well it looked like) apple…. I thought “Ruddy kids have been chucking half eaten apples in me yard” only to see heaps of old wrinkly apples and then I thought “Who has a ruddy apple tree?” and then I looked up and up and up and sure enough I spotted a green passionfruit on a vine that has climbed all over the top of an old Bottlebrush, and then I saw two ripe fruit!!!!
So the ladder came out and I got to enjoy a passionfruit….
I already have passionfruit thanks PM.

Where the kids are going is sunny and blue skies..and TC Tomas is moving away.
Barbie Bride Doll and her Ken just rang me and are rapt to be off to Fiji shortly. :D
i don’t think I’d be going. Fiji has been declared a disaster zone, so even if the weather has cleared up the infrastructure could be crap.Me neither. I’m waiting to hear how they went but no word so far. I’m sure I’ll hear something soon. I haven’t time to worry, it’s been a ‘fight night’ day with giant son.

Aw thanks deary , but I’ll be fine. It seems the neighbourhood has taken the law into their own hands re giant sons loud trail bike. Not that I blame them one bit , I want the bike confiscated as much as they do, but it doesn’t mean they can chase the kid in a car and try and mow him down. The circus here today was unreal. Everything with a flashing light. Fines dished out to those responsible , inc one for GS for $1500 riding on the road.
Bikes chained, police punctured it’s tires…kids watching tv. All quiet now.

The accom and support he needs right now is over his pension so they would have to take the lot. He would lose his block.
I’ve reapplied for carers allowance and for it to be backdated 12 weeks.

No licence needed for off road bikes. He can’t read well enough to study a licence manual anyway, so car or road bike licence is out.

I don’t know the circumstances well enough to argue over it but it sounds as though he is just too big to try and be forceful with. I will call it quits on the subject for now. Maybe you are right. I don’t know.

I wish.
But if I tossed it or stored it elsewhere it’s at the risk of my life.
I completely understand why the neighbours are peeved, I am too. If he wakes up during the night and decides to ride it, flat tires even, I will call the police myself to impound it. But he won’t know I called them.
When I sold his old bike he knew it was going to go sooner or later because of the oil spills, and there was this newer bike in the wings, so he was ok about it.

I found out and flogged his ass, yes he is 18 but he was grounded and keys and bike access removed for a week, use your monthly train ticket to get to work son , .. yes he is 18 but still needs to be told what to do from time to time, my thinking here was , both had no helmet and most accidents happen within 5kms from home, and I am still pissed off with him.

No licence needed for off road bikes. He can’t read well enough to study a licence manual anyway, so car or road bike licence is out.
If I had one of those crusher machines, it’d be matchbox size about now.
If that is the case the bike should not be stored at your place ?
I wish.
But if I tossed it or stored it elsewhere it’s at the risk of my life.
I completely understand why the neighbours are peeved, I am too. If he wakes up during the night and decides to ride it, flat tires even, I will call the police myself to impound it. But he won’t know I called them.When I sold his old bike he knew it was going to go sooner or later because of the oil spills, and there was this newer bike in the wings, so he was ok about it.
get DRILL AND DRILL, HOLES INTO THE MOTOR , TAKE OUT THE SPARK PLUS, BETTER STILL PUT SUGAR INTO THE PETROL TANKS, DONT YOU CONTROL HIS BANK BOOKS , ?

LOL – hope the cops didn’t use their x-ray.
leave one pod to dry out and peel open of its own accord. i got the original seed from street trees in Sedan. the pods had fallen to the ground and – altho’ the old memory is dim – i suspect the pods must have opened because i don’t remember extracting the seed. if you extract all the seed now they will look green – and might not be ready for planting?
look forward to seeing youse all when you’re ready.
no probs I shelled a couple and they look ok but I’ll dry the rest and see what happens. I have some Curry Tree seeds if interested. Ours is in a large pot and does well and her indoors uses it when she does asian cooking to add flavour.
yes thanks – it would be nice to have curry bushes(?) trees(?). i used to have some low shrubs called curry bushes. not sure what a curry tree is – but we don’t have either at present.

Very different. My dad had curry bushes and it was a lovely smell. I had a curry tree (I presume it has died, haven’t seen it lately g) and I could never fathom how anyone could bring themselves to cook with them. Crushing the leaves produced an awful, noxious smell – although Mr Bon didn’t find it particularly unpleasant so maybe it’s one of those things that differs from person to person. I also wondered whether maybe ours was stronger due to lack of water, or something?
Gotta be careful with curry trees too – they can become weedy so you’re supposed to snip off all the flowers before they get to seed. I think they sucker too, but ours was in a pot.

I quite like the smell anyway but it isn’t that over powering in cooking.

I thought perhaps it didn’t come through in cooking. But I wouldn’t be able to bring myself to cook with it anyway – for me it’s an intensely unfoody smell – like squashed ants, but worse.

Not here. If we’re not in the ambo scheme we have to pay just over $400 with proof of the pension card. I think we pay just under $100 for 12 months membership.

It seems my shed mosaic appearing in their newsletter has spurred others on and they want to do similar. What they liked most, apparently, is that the mosaic is big bold and colourful, tiles big. None of that little mosaic dotted here and there, just one huge cheerful piece.

drylander1 said:no probs I shelled a couple and they look ok but I’ll dry the rest and see what happens. I have some Curry Tree seeds if interested. Ours is in a large pot and does well and her indoors uses it when she does asian cooking to add flavour.
yes thanks – it would be nice to have curry bushes(?) trees(?). i used to have some low shrubs called curry bushes. not sure what a curry tree is – but we don’t have either at present.
Very different. My dad had curry bushes and it was a lovely smell. I had a curry tree (I presume it has died, haven’t seen it lately g) and I could never fathom how anyone could bring themselves to cook with them. Crushing the leaves produced an awful, noxious smell – although Mr Bon didn’t find it particularly unpleasant so maybe it’s one of those things that differs from person to person. I also wondered whether maybe ours was stronger due to lack of water, or something?
Gotta be careful with curry trees too – they can become weedy so you’re supposed to snip off all the flowers before they get to seed. I think they sucker too, but ours was in a pot.
I gave my curry tree away because I couldn’t stand the smell either. If curry tasted like that I wouldn’t eat it.

I certainly didnt pay, I fled the place ( morn of the wedding) and another hairdresser came to daughters place and had my scalp under cold water for 10 mins, then styled it. I had a sort of Norman Gunston comb-over!

i guess noone forgets their honeymoon but these two will definitely remember theirs.
warmish again here today. on tuesday i drank about 12 glasses of water – probably an all time record for me.
seeyas round.
Morning! Yesterday arvo I took advantage of the clear sky and sprayed a heap of weeds that were taking over the bogainvillea just outside the house pad. Also sprayed other weeds because there was mixed glypho left over. I sprayed my little heat out because the weeds are growing at a phenomenal rate and I wanted to beat the seeding.
Then down it came. What came down I hear you ask? Rain, that’s what. All my good work wasted. Not only that….I’ll have to do it all again
The Centre has a catering job for Sunday. The Sunshine Coast Harley Davidson Club are coming for a jaunt via our town and they want a morning tea stop here. We did the same for them 2 years ago. Must have done something right on that day.
House cleaning today. It’s all looking like a tip so should I do all the floors and all the dusting through out or do the full monty in a few rooms today and the rest tomorrow? Don’t answer that. I will make a decision all by myself.

It’s her second, so she knew what to expect I guess. Another friend is having her 3rd caeser tomorrow.
I know a healthy baby and a healthy mum is the most important thing, but when I get my turn to have babies (fingers crossed), I’d be really disappointed if I couldn’t deliver them naturally.

I think it’s gaining in popularity, Anne. I spend way too much time on essentialbaby.com so I follow a few of the trends :) Nowadays I think more people are judged for bottle feeding than breast feeding.

So it should. I was really pleases that my daughter stuck with it even though bubs had reflux and my daughter has scar tissue on one breast following surgery for a fibroadenoma 10 years ago, but she stuck at it and really enjoyed the experience. Apart from the fact that it is so much cheaper!
Anyway will have to carry on this discussion another day. Time to for bed and a a few pages of Servant of the Empire

Milo and medication for “you know who”…….
Hey guess what Russel Crow is giving away the Almost Mrs. Bimbo on her wedding day. Yep it was confirmed last night……..She had her final fitting last night for her dress and the elf went in to try a suit on and out came Rusty from the change room. Only he was missing his phone…lol
Gee the elf scrubbed up so yummy like. Said to AMB…isn’t it great to think that after 27 years of marriage….I still think her dad can be hot and ever so yummy……lol
The fella who fitted the elf said…so many mum’s come in with the” son the groom” and he’s fitted out to suit mummy and not the groom’s tastes. That is really sad in my books.
We also had 3.8 mm of rain around midnight. That was so nice to listen to on the roof.

I think its great that he still has the “magic” 27 years later.

far out I had milk for the worlds babies. I nursed till 12 months easily. I fed ‘border babies’ back then too, babies of low birthweight who couldn’t leave the hospital until their weight went up. I fed em all. Another tiny little Cambodian lady same as me with oversupply too, we fed them till they got fat.
I fed my new bub then got handed anothers bub to feed, and that went on all day.

A lot of mothers would like to be able to whack em back too Collie. I actually think that your first should go back anyway. Your first is very much a trial and learning experience. If you can get it to 12 months, it’s still alive and well, you’re still alive and well then you have served your apprenticeship and you’re qualified to get a proper firstl first born.

nods I think it’s important not to be judgemental of anybody, because you never know their circumstances. But all mums should have access to the best help and support if they want to breastfeed. .. hopping off soapbox :D

far out I had milk for the worlds babies. I nursed till 12 months easily. I fed ‘border babies’ back then too, babies of low birthweight who couldn’t leave the hospital until their weight went up. I fed em all. Another tiny little Cambodian lady same as me with oversupply too, we fed them till they got fat.
I fed my new bub then got handed anothers bub to feed, and that went on all day.
Highly illegal practice now though..Sad, isn’t it? It’s not like we each keep one cow for our milk supply and think it’s wrong to drink from other cows. Err. In no way am I trying to call anybody a cow.. :D
when I was going through some emotional problems when I had Miss N, my milk started drying up. A friend who was also breastfeeding gave her a feed for me and she said she gulped it down like she was really hungry. Only did it the once as my milk came back but I am glad that my friend did that for her.

I think it’s a beautiful thing to do :) The sad thing is, I have heard of friendships breaking up because of women feeding friend’s babies without asking their friend first if they minded. OK, they should ask, but to lose a friendship over that..
OK, while I’m on the subject of feeding the world and big ag vs little ag..

I read about a man who reckoned he talked himself in to producing milk.. :D I forget what the technique is called but he just basically kept telling himself he was going to, like self-hypnosis. The article was short on evidence though :D

True, but then there are others who give up at the slightest hurdle. I know of one who put her baby on the bottle before she’d even left hospital! From what I can gather it was because the baby wanted to demand feed every 2 hours in the first day or so…sounds like she never really gave her milk a chance to “come in”

Some boobs, just don’t develop milk too and you have no choice….. that was me with JimBob.
I agree with that Lucky, but apparently in reality it is only a small percentage of women who physically can’t feed their babies. Also a lot of women don’t like the fact that they can’t measure exactly how much milk their babies are getting from breast milk so prefer the bottle. Personally I was too lazy to want to have to muck around sterilising bottles. Much easier to just “flip the boob out”. Having said all that, I didn’t have a huge milk supply and in fact there were times when I was having to comp the feeds with formula, but both my babies and I hated it….my kids wouldn’t take the bottle. But with all that my kids were still able to get one “comfort” breast feed a day till they were 17 months. Although comfort feeding is frowned upon in some circles I think it is extremely important for the child’s development

Just crazy!
I read (actually I read only part of it now I think about it) an article in the Sunday Mail about growing crops in high rise buildings. Some fellow from Aust is going over to China to get started on a project there. I wonder how they are going to do it. Apparently crops won’t be at the mercy of the elements or pests etc. Wish I had read the whole thing now.

It’s costs are over and above his pension though, so we need to find out if his funding package has been increased or they expect us to cover for now.. we cannot at this time, so dunno whats going to happen. More calls to make.Will he go?
he will when I have my foot in his back pushing him out the door then lock it.oh I’m terrible..
Oh good news HP! Hope the financial side of it works out for him/you.
Will this be temporary or permanent?
Temporary Orchid, but that’s good because the costs will hurry em up with the perm place.

Might have to call them a figment of the imagination to be politicaly correct.
While on the treadmill I had the radio on.
There are cheap water tanks being sold in Oz land…..lined with cancer producing chemicals,……………………………. made in the land of the yellow ones. (hows that for being politically incorrect.) People are asking for it to be looked into and stopped.

A lot of mothers would like to be able to whack em back too Collie. I actually think that your first should go back anyway. Your first is very much a trial and learning experience. If you can get it to 12 months, it’s still alive and well, you’re still alive and well then you have served your apprenticeship and you’re qualified to get a proper firstl first born.
Entirely agreed Pom, my first was a nightmare confusion of doubts and worry, there wasn’t the back-up that there is now. I had no-one close and experienced that I could talk to either. Still, he survived and so did all the others thank goodness!

Exactly. I suppose my main gripe is with women who don’t even try to breast feed.

At the time I had very low self-esteem, but breastfeeding made me feel good, because it was something only I could for my baby

here here AnneS .. theres 2 women who can’t b/feed, the one without boobs (surgically removed because of disease or disfigurement) and the one on medications that would harm the baby.
My bible that taught me how to, ‘Breastfeeding Matters’ by author Maureen Minchin. A bit of an extremist, but sound practical help.
And it’s not just a book for mums, the whole worlds population should read this , inc men.

The Estate said:I dried up like an old cow after 6 weeks !!
far out I had milk for the worlds babies. I nursed till 12 months easily. I fed ‘border babies’ back then too, babies of low birthweight who couldn’t leave the hospital until their weight went up. I fed em all. Another tiny little Cambodian lady same as me with oversupply too, we fed them till they got fat.
I fed my new bub then got handed anothers bub to feed, and that went on all day.
Highly illegal practice now though..Sad, isn’t it? It’s not like we each keep one cow for our milk supply and think it’s wrong to drink from other cows. Err. In no way am I trying to call anybody a cow.. :D
It’s all about infectious diseases. The breast milk bank sterilises it.

That one looks fully cooked though.

A lot of mothers would like to be able to whack em back too Collie. I actually think that your first should go back anyway. Your first is very much a trial and learning experience. If you can get it to 12 months, it’s still alive and well, you’re still alive and well then you have served your apprenticeship and you’re qualified to get a proper firstl first born.
Entirely agreed Pom, my first was a nightmare confusion of doubts and worry, there wasn’t the back-up that there is now. I had no-one close and experienced that I could talk to either. Still, he survived and so did all the others thank goodness!
My first was easy compaired with #2. Colic, screaming, not sleeping, gnawing my nipples off. :(

But with all that my kids were still able to get one “comfort” breast feed a day till they were 17 months. Although comfort feeding is frowned upon in some circles I think it is extremely important for the child’s development
————————————————————
Some people who say these things in my books….. are wankers…. not every child or mum or dad for that matter can all fit in the same box size.
Exactly. I suppose my main gripe is with women who don’t even try to breast feed. Sometimes it is a challenge, but with perserverence most women can….I suppose that not all women get the pleasure from breast feeding that I did. I found it very empowering. At the time I had very low self-esteem, but breastfeeding made me feel good, because it was something only I could for my baby
here here AnneS .. theres 2 women who can’t b/feed, the one without boobs (surgically removed because of disease or disfigurement) and the one on medications that would harm the baby.
My bible that taught me how to, ‘Breastfeeding Matters’ by author Maureen Minchin. A bit of an extremist, but sound practical help.
And it’s not just a book for mums, the whole worlds population should read this , inc men.
I sailed through breast feeding #1 but #2 was a constant struggle. He just wouldn’t attach properly and feeding became agony. I was very lucky to have lots of support from Nursing Mothers and we did eventually get it right.

I’m sure the law is actually about safety, but I’ve encountered some people who have a distaste to it just on the basis that it’s a different person, and nothing to do with the safety.

Oh thanks for the correction….lol
I ended up ringing them. It works on cup amounts and not weighing. So 1 cup of reg sugar is equal to 1 cup of splenda. But if the reciepe says…200gms of sugar… I have to work out what 200 grams is in cup measurements .
With that worked out…I now have to decide if I can afford $7 plus for a box equal to about 4 cups….sigh.
Elf is sleeping and I am sneaking around the place doing quiet house work.
This means…..
No starting the vac next to him sleeping on the futon.
No slamming the back door next to the futon, as I go in and out with wet washing. (I’ll hang it out later on.)
No turning the TV off and playing music load….he’ll wake up if I turn the TV off.
Gee its tough being quiet…no fun at all…..LOL

Yeah I am thinking that too. I’m thinking it could be meat for 2 or 3 meals for us. Or other pantry foods.
I did find a low GI sugar by CSR……… think I’ll ring the diabetic clinic and see what they say.
Judy Judy is taking no prisoners today……..lol
Low GI sugar is sweeteer than it looks. ie: it goes further for less. Thus the expense could well be justified.

Highly recommend it. I started doing clinical pilates to fix problems with my posture and how it affected my muscles, so I didn’t start to get core strength.. but I have core strength now and I love it! Every day things are just easier.. lifting a full bucket of water etc. I’m hoping that my physio will know pre and post baby exercises too :)

Oh we tried that, but the naughty buggers would pounce on the cat coming out of the igloo. So we had to take the lid off so they would use it….. worse than bluddy kids.

Bit Breezy, no rain eh but… And as we will be on the North Western side of TC Ului, our rain won’t be much to write about really… we need Ului to creep up a bit more and hit us square on the Strand for us to see much rain from this system.
But the temps have been well cool lately, its nice to not sweat for a change!

Be thankful you won’t get the wind either. It’s a lot cooler down here too.
Have you been experiencing heaps of wildlife in your garden? Maybe you wouldn’t know if it’s more than average because you’re only new in residence. We have been geting plagues of grubs, grasshoppers and lots of butterfiles. This evening we were invaded by about 10 leaf butterflies trying to get to the dining room light. Never seen anything like that before. Especially after dark.
Everything has been attacked by something eating it. I killed about a dozen grubs curled up in the leaves of my Bismarkia palm. Grrrrr.

There has been heaps of bugs and grubs around, some are small enough to get in through the flyscreen and they lurve the monitor and the teev. But outside two nights ago, I counted 10 green tree frogs all hanging out eating the katydids, and grasshoppers and such. I think the recent rain is to blame. Although we now have the Bower birds back and they are a dry season bird… bit early I think. The latest has TC Ului heading for Mangolia; I’ll try to get a picture of the pig, just before he flies off to Mingela or somewhere!

I watered by torchlight in the front garden in the pitch black.
I haven’t gotten around to digging up the patch of spuds I planted out there and they have long died down..so I will try to get that done today.
It’s impossible to try and have a week doing nothing.. there’s heaps to do in the garden at the moment. Make a bed for garlic and another for spinach, plant out cauli’s and hopefully get around to pulling out those toms.
Brekky first.
Morning all. A quick visit today and probably won’t be around for a while. Had to put Mum in hospital last night. After a CAT scan it seems she has had some internal bleeding towards the abdomen. :(
The upshot of it all is that she will probably have to be transferred to Sydney and have a blood transfusion. When we left the hospital at 1:00am they were still waiting to hear back from the surgeon. :(

A 75 year old man went to the doctors office to get a sperm count.
The doctor gave the man a jar and said “Take this jar home and bring me back a sample tomorrow.”
The next day, the 75 year old man reappears at the doctor’s office and gives him the jar, which is as clean and empty as the previous day.
The doctor asks what happened, and the man explains, “Well Doc, it’s like this. First I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried wiith my left hand, but nothing. Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, but nothing. Then with her left, but nothing. She even tried with her mouth, first with her teeth in, then with her teeth out, and still nothing. Hell, we even called up the lady next door, and she tried with both hands and her mouth too, but nothing.
The doctor was shocked. “You asked your neighbour?”
The old man replied “Yep, but no matter what we tried, we couldn’t that damn jar opened!”

Well they are all in thats the main thing.

Whew, morning tea time. So much for the gardening weekend I had planned – all I’ve managed this morning is filling out a bunch of paperwork to get a $100 cash back on a printer, put a load of washing on, put the dishwasher on, and cleaned the kitchen. Now I need a bit of a break, and then I might change into something cooler and do some gardening. I did manage to do a fair bit after work last night, actually. It’s nice coming home from work and finding it’s pretty cool and good for gardening, instead of way too hot – although I guess it’s only a matter of weeks now before it’ll be too dark for gardening after work!
Arvo all,
I’ve been potting up my strawberry plants and splitting 3 big bromeliads and potting them up. I think that’s enough for one day, I’m trying to be sensible after getting a lecture about doing too much and not looking after myself. After all the weeding and the vegie bed preparation WILL wait for me. If the vegie seedlings go in late – well, tough.
Have a look at this wonderful panoramic photography if you’re not on dial – up or a low MB plan……….

this morning I have been cleaning out the corner cupboard full of rarely used items and plasticware, and washing everything. Still at it as it was chockers! Then I am going to make some mini lemon meringue pies for Miss N to take to church for supper tomorrow night. Tomorrow I am planning on heading down to Dromana for the Heronswood (home of Diggers Club) Harvest Festival
.
Have a look at this wonderful panoramic photography if you’re not on dial – up or a low MB plan……….

pretty clever, but can make you dizzy if your not careful! (last one didn’t work for me for some reason though)

Wow you’ve been a busy bee BG!

I forgot about Diggers – ah well, I’m out to lunch anyway tomorrow. Hope you enjoy!

Arvo all,
I’ve been potting up my strawberry plants and splitting 3 big bromeliads and potting them up. I think that’s enough for one day, I’m trying to be sensible after getting a lecture about doing too much and not looking after myself. After all the weeding and the vegie bed preparation WILL wait for me. If the vegie seedlings go in late – well, tough.Have a look at this wonderful panoramic photography if you’re not on dial – up or a low MB plan……….

But I’m being so good and cooking a tea of meat and vegies. Elf bonded with himself at home.
Big day today and now I’m tired and there’s nothing for dinner.
My niece’s baby shower was on this morning and then this afternoon MrBL was going to a bike swap meet at Maleny, so I tagged along.

I visit a couple of times a year. This is not the “Feast” though, but a weekend festival. I haven’t been to one of these before, I don’t think.

Evening all. As I quickly told you this morning we had to take Mum to hospital last night. While there they did a blood count and found that she had become anaemic within the space of a week, so they did a CAT scan and found that there had been some internal bleeding, but she was still haemorrhaging (I don’t think the bleed was a big one though). They contacted her surgeon in Sydney and put a canula in her arm in case she needed a blood transfusion and there was the possiblilty that she would have to go to Sydney….Well this morning they did further blood tests, but that is essentially all they did all day, and when we left at 8pm they still hadn’t told her the results of the tests or told her whether or not she is going to be transferred. Needless to say she is now very frustrated and wants to come home if nothing is going to be done. The canula is still in her arm and really uncomfortable.
Hopefully we will get a better idea when we return tomorrow morning. If not I think we will be doing a bit of jumping up and down.

Eldest son went to an info session for an online music site this afternoon, and the upshot is that he has a job (unpaid) writing reviews for local metal bands. His first concert is next Friday.
He has to pay for his own ticket.LOL
This is the site he’ll, hopefully, be writing for if they like him.

A good friend of mine, his daughter has been shafted by RollingStone Magazine has she has been writing for them… She has also corresponded for JJJ, but all the Music Mags love free correspondence, in fact most of the stories are written by the band themselves as freelance. A Music mag wouldn’t survive otherwise.

Yes jump up and down , thats too long to wait.
Morning early birds.
I’m up and attem and have a hundred things to do, then off at 8 am with my garden clubs bus tour to to St Erth , Frogmore Gardens and nursery, and Trentham Falls. All day trip.
I really don’t have the time atm and theres many reasons to stay home, but I really want to go, so I’m making myself mentally switch off, and I’ll just go through the front door and shut it behind me.
I have my cooler lunchbox, a drink ,a few dollars in my pocket, and sensible shoes.
:D

Just like Jimbob…but he has a full time job. Started last week going to a sub division of SA Uni twice a week at night, to be a sound engineer in music. Said he stuff (my word, his was harsher) up his own education, but work stuff this one up.

We have a little mouse in the house:(
Found little Millie playing with it in the laundry tub. She caught it and we popped them in the toilet room and shut the door. Well there was squeaking and banging for a while. Then it went quiet.
Opened the door and the mouse was behind the bin in the corner. So moved the bin and Millie went to grab it. Little ‘bugger ran between my feet with Millie following it, out into the laundry room and under the washing machine. Buggerdamnit!!!!
Millie is a hero not like the other slackers and I feel guilty for letting her toy get away. After weeks/months of watching the mice out by the bird cages through the rumpus room window….she finally got to hug her “friend” as we call them to her.
Now she keeps coming to us and meowing as if to say…. “I did good didn’t I?”…But I’m sure under her breather she’s saying…“Nanny you interfering old biddie”

My cousin’s daughter did. She got so much work that she droped out before finishing her degree, and now works in the USA. She’s just been back touring with her band and now they’re in China.
This be them.

I have been a busy Vegemite here.
All the wind-chimes have been washed.
Pulled out the microwave from it’s built in spot and cleaned the said item and the empty area.
Cleaned ornaments (my mum used to call them dust collectors) and the area they sit on. (All wood areas in the kitchen)
Those verandas swept.
Washing is done.
Mowed the lawn to keep on top of it and this removed weed flowers and such at the same time.
Still to do.
Put on a mixture for Hot Cross Buns.
Hang out washing.
Iron (while Turner & Hooch) is playing at 3.30 my fav Tom Hanks movie.
Tacos for tea tonight.
Make bed with fresh sheets and vac floor.
Think that is about it.
So how’s your day doing so far???????

Argh, nowhere near that productive!! Just been out to meet our friend’s new baby. OMG she’s so gorgeous :) Just waiting now for a phone call from a house designer.. apart from that it’s a blank slate under dinner with the in laws. I wanted to garden in the meantime but the possible thunderstorm has so far not shown up, so it’s way too hot and sunny for me outside :(

Is it really Sunday?
Spent this morning in Zombie like state after watching TC Ului cross the coast early this morning. Windy day here. All the stuff we “swept under the rug” before TC Ului was a “threat” to Towntown has now been put back outside and I have been looking at the Cyclone Emergency Kit and thinking what am I going to do with all this tinned stuff?

>what am I going to do with all this tinned stuff?
Good thing about tinned stuff is it lasts way past the use by date. Coupla cyclone seasons at least!

had a nice visit to Heronswood. Don’t think I have been there at this time of year before and I was impressed, despite having been a few times before. The beds were pretty well all at their peak. Other times I have been have usually been when beds have been newly planted or finishing off. Bought myself a couple of Echinacea varieties as a treat. After that had a bit of a ride (on the motor scooter) around the back roads and up to Arthur’s Seat before heading back home for a nap :)

she’ll be all inspired no doubt :)
Oh lol ! Too right BG :)
I came home loaded with plants and goodies and had a great fun filled day :D
It’s just as well I didn’t take my credit card. I could have done a lot of damage to the National Credit Debt! But I intend to go back to St Erth asap as they have dwarf gravinstein (sp?) apples and I’ve wanted one forever. I did find a dwarf valencia orange , another citrus I’ve been looking for for a while.
Bought that. Where to plant it ? dunno, but I’ll find a spot lol.
Bought organic garlic x 4 bulbs, 2 purple manaros and 2 Melb market whites.
Bought organic blueberry jam :)
Dianthus, north white double. And a whole bunch of vege seed packets :)
Totally wrecked too..I climbed and ran and climbed some more. Someone took a photo of me sprawled out on top of a boulder lol!
And I forgot my camera :(
And I won the raffle. I always win the garden clubs raffle, did last bus tour and the one before that! So, I told them I’ll donate the coins but don’t give me a ticket. Was told to sit and behave and take the bluddy ticket hehe.
So I drew the ticket.. and drew out my own number!! Much hysterical laughter, and me red as a beet lol. Now thats spooky!
But I was told keep the prize, a tub of seasol planting gel. Cool!
I got home and the bloke said don’t sit, we’re off to tea out, there’s no kids here!! YAY lol!
I’ll try and catch up now..

For all I know i could well have done that too.
I didn’t do any gardening today but we visited a nursery and they had a plant I’ve wanted to ID for a while now. I saw it growing as a standard at Roma Street Parklands but it had no name tag. I now know it’s an Abutilon megapotamicum.

FYI, I will be contacting Cheryl.
New week starts from tomorrow. Wipe the slate clean. No more cyclone reports. Everything back to normal or whatever you’re normal is. Just try to make next week a tiny bit better than last week. G’night from my little corner of the world.
(It’s not that I don’t care, it’s just that I can’t cope and I guess that
doesn’t make me a good friend.) Val said ?
(I’m happy to chat with you on forums and that kind of thing but I can’t go
back to phone calls and Skype and all that.)
I thought is was both way s ect/// skype if some one calls you you have to hit the button to accept the call and the same goes with a land line Val ? You tell me ?
Now you can all C & P all my shit coz I dont give a shit and Val thanks anyways !

I seriously doubt anyone here is about to do that.
Thee I know you’ve been upset but the vast majority here know nothing about what happened, or want to be involved. You really shouldn’t have brought it all here.
Bev has a lot on her plate right now too and Val really did sound like she was trying her best. It’s just not easy to be tolerant sometimes when you have problems of your own.
Whatever you decide to do please take care of yourself and take a few deep breaths. Life is too short to stress over forums.
Please think about coming back when you’re feeling better.

Bit hard to have animals when you go away. Conversely, bit hard to go away when you have animals.

I did but they don’t listen. Even Max has lost his status.. they certainly aren’t scared of him anymore, they barrelled straight over and under him to greet me with the food tub. The Silkies are not amused.
I’m keeping them on 3 food lots a day, grains and pellets morning, weeds greens and silverbeet by arvo and a small amount of scraps at evening.
Got 5 layers and getting 5 eggs a day, not bad, so I’m keeping up the routine.

Oh gawd went and double booked myself , again.
I helped to organise the next garden clubs bus bus trip to Sassafras.. on the same day as the mosaic talk. And I’m expected to go on the bus trip definately.
My own fault.
I have got to stop and think and check dates instead of mind wandering off with the pixies. Norty HP!!
The damage might fix itself though , there probably won’t be enough people to go on a bus trip on Anzac day, so that may get postponed. I hope so anyway! lol.

I do visit the RSL but I don’t march for Uncle Alby. His other nephew who has all his medals does , and attends the dawn service
Just happened to find a nursery advertisement in the local paper. They were having a markdown sale on all their plants (yesterday) How quick we swallowed our brekky and got dressed! Bought an Ixora coccinea, the only Ixora I like. 3 Pultenaea villosa, great spreading ground cover. 4 Lomandra confertifolia. Just some grassy things to put somewhere. Good weather conditions for new plantings.
Today I am determined to get stuck into some more house cleaning. Got to get the mould under control. The venetians are screaming for some attention. BBL.

The mosaic talk is set in concrete now so can’t be changed, but the bus trip can.
geez i hijacked the g’bye thread LOL.
that stuff was meant to be here.
the trenching to the tank is almost finished including a deep section where a post goes. its been hard digging in the clay rock. My exotic fruit tree orchard (once called the meditation garden) is clean and awaiting levelling with a bit more sand and some manure.
i must move on all these projects becos the rain will not wait forever.
i have found a source of local indigenous plants so i plan to plant another 20 or so in may where the swale used to be. i’ve got 3 banksia trees to go in already and a couple of native apricots.

I have got to stop and think and check dates instead of mind wandering off with the pixies. Norty HP!!The damage might fix itself though , there probably won’t be enough people to go on a bus trip on Anzac day, so that may get postponed. I hope so anyway! lol.
I reckon you just get a bit bored if you aren’t in two places at once… :D
Back from doing all those little fiddly jobs out and about. Egg customer rang me…can I have an extra dozen eggs this week…she said:)
No problem I said………
Popped all $$$ in the bank:)
Cashed in all the soft drink bottles……
Picked up medication…….
Few groceries.
Oh yeah…. I also took in some hot cross buns for the people at the green grocer shop, where I get free greens for the gang….
So a good day in my books:D

geez i hijacked the g’bye thread LOL.
that stuff was meant to be here.the trenching to the tank is almost finished including a deep section where a post goes. its been hard digging in the clay rock. My exotic fruit tree orchard (once called the meditation garden) is clean and awaiting levelling with a bit more sand and some manure.
i must move on all these projects becos the rain will not wait forever.
i have found a source of local indigenous plants so i plan to plant another 20 or so in may where the swale used to be. i’ve got 3 banksia trees to go in already and a couple of native apricots.
Ooh, how cool. Do you eat the native apricots straight off the plant, or cook with them?
Hey Bon, just waiting on the hot cross bun mixture to rise out in the car. Then into the oven for cooking. Hoping the “almost ones” will call past for half of them after work:)

Yum yum yum :)
Technically speaking I don’t eat dried fruit – although I’m feeling lots better now so thinking of checking to see if I’m still sensitive to fructose, but not until I’m well enough to stop taking the stomach tabs. Anyway, point being.. I still eat the odd Easter bun, because who can resist them??

It amazes me how strong you are with your tummy and food.
Me I love food ………..lurv food so much……………… not kidneys and yukko items like that…..but I think I’d be devastated if I had to watch what I had to eat.

Nah, I’m very lax about it!! Same as you, I love my food too much. Technically what I am supposed to do is cut out a whole bunch of things, including everything in the onion family, AND tomato, and see if I feel better… yeh right!1 What’s the point of living and eating without garlic, onion, and tomato?! So I’ve never bothered. The good thing is.. even if something I eat makes me feel unwell, I know it isn’t doing any damage to me. Worse for people with coeliacs, as eating gluten actually does damage to them.. they have to be so careful :(

I did find out the other day, that you can make “onion water” – the stuff that I might react to in onion (fructan, I think) – if you boil the onion in water then the fructan stays in the onion flesh, and you can add the onion water to your cooking to include the flavour. But hey, who can be bothered..

Have to go and have dinner early. There is a meeting on in our town to discuss the renewal of the valley. Since the dam has been blocked there is a new plan to set for the area as part of the recovery. To put us back on the map so to speak. I’ll let you know if the new plan is possible after I get home.

I like tripe too! It’s cooking it that’s a problem. Takes a lot of cooking and smells bad while it is cooking.
I’ve been very good and adding dates to my diary and changed over my little handbag to the big one.
Almost all sorted..
Except for this wednesday..2 people are going to turn up at the same time, on unrelated issues.
One a photographer to show us wedding pics, and the other to collect giant son for the day and show him new accommodation place.
Oh well.

it is offal after all. I think all the boiling and extended cooking are to get rid of its natural offensive flavour until it is tasteless, then you add sauces and herbs to give it flavour again!

Goes for liver too.
I’ll have to go get myself a piece of choc mud cake to dampen the imaginary smells of offal cooking..

I don’t mind liver if it is cooked tender and with the right accompaniments.
In fact it was one dish I could make for myself without everyone else wanting some as well!

Surprisingly there was a good roll up. The plans already in the pipeline were a surprise too. Lots of suggestions offered. Overall a fair achievement for a small place but absolutely nothing offered or available from the gov which was to blame for it all in the first place.

That could be because you can’t buy decent tripe anymore. Honeycomb tripe is unavailable. Be that a good or a bad thing.

Is it too late to prune lavender? Most of the bushes look pretty shot but the ones along the gutter dripline still have some green – thought I might go at them with some sheers if I get a bit bored…

Morning sleepy heads.
I’ve watered and weeded, netted carrot bed, planted out broc and cauli seedlings, picked capsicums and couple more pumpkins.
I have to find an edging material for the garlic bed, then they can go in today. I might use the root barrier stuff for now. It’s just that the beds built up and without edging, the birds will scratch at the sides and collapse it.
I’m running out of freezer room for all my excess goodies, so I will have to look into bottling stuff.
Brekky time , toast and blueberry jam and a big mug of strong tea :)
I’ve done my early walk around and the plants that have been eaten by “something” are increasing in number. I pick off any grubs I see but I’m not in the hunt. I am even stepping on grubs crossing the cement paths to another garden bed. It’s amazing.
Anyone know what the leaf butterfly larvae feeds on? There are plenty of butterflies around so I’d like to know what they will be laying their eggs on.
Enjoy your Tuesday.

it is/was the autumn equinox on the 21st-23rd march. the sun is directly over the equator and we are getting 12 hours of day and twelve hours of night (approx).

Often they use native plants, so the scrub where you back on to will be providing the flutterbys…we have a white one here that lays its eggs on the wait-a-whil (aka the lawyer vine: once it gets its hooks into you it won’t let go…) I did read where the problem with some clearing of native vegetation is that some butterflies use a specific plant…they think because it flowers when the butterflies hatch? (providing the flutterby with food, etc)…

My mum lost a few roof tiles – it hit pretty bad up where she is. My colleague from up that area hasn’t been heard from yet this morning..
And the office leaked! The storm came from the north and my window is on the north side – the gutters overflowed and water leaked in. Luckily yesterday afternoon someone came in and moved all my stuff back from the window, but my office buddy has al ot of wet papers and the carpet on her side is all wet.

What about my little ZeeZee? She would have to be on antidepressants if we got some chooks. The wild birds make her go into a spasm if they even land on the clothesline as it is. Actually we would love some poultry but we go away too much.

That wait-a-while is ouchy. The leaf butteries are spending a lot of time on the red chillies that are hanging on the bush. Me thinks they lay on something that has red flowers.
The grubs are a pain but they aren’t going to kill anything. Just make more butterfiles which will lay more eggs, that will turn into more grubs to eat everything again. Who am I to interfere with what nature has planned.

Good morning all, outside is looking fresh after our receiving our very small dividend from Depression Ukelele …. the grass is jumping again, hopefully we can mow it this weekend…I still need to whippersnip the north eastern corner before I can mow it…about 1 metre high … I guess it’s hiding a lot of frogs but it’s the legless reptiles that concern me…
The sun has some sting in it but MrD says it will only reach 31C today…I have started turning the ceiling fans off…wish I could find that garden fork…
Got to work yesterday morning to hear the night bloke was in hospital. He’d suffered an electric shock locking some gates during an electrical storm.
After the shock the locks and chains were sparking heavily. It was raining very heavily and he was soaking wet.
He was taken to hospital in an ambulance.
He was back at work last night and none the worse for the experience!
The think it was static electricity, not a direct lightning strike. I think he was lucky.
very lucky indeed Collie…
>OK, not so hot – 27 degrees and 64 percent relative humidity :D Still better than 30+ and no humidity!!
Nar, hot and dry is easier I reckon. Unless you mean into the 40s. That’s just silly.
On the rig years ago we were into the 50s and humid with cyclones around. THAT was hot.
I agree, dry and hot is far more comfortable…hard on the garden of course…around 45C it feels like the air is being sucked out of your lungs…probably a scientific explanation for that…

Did he end up with bruises? We watched a friend suffer an electric shock and he immediately came out with bruises where the electricity left his body.
>something shorting out perhaps? Glad he is OK.
Because of the amount of lightning activity around there was a lot of electricity in the air.
The fence was picking it up. I’m guessing that one side of the fence and it’s gate were earthed properly and one side wasn’t.
>Did he end up with bruises?
I saw him last night and he didn’t mention any.

Heard Island. Or Tassie if you can take the heat.. ;^)
>in Greenland, or is it Iceland?
Take your pick, there is one of each.
Morning all,
Well Mum’s threatened blood transfusion and transfer didn’t eventuate thank goodness. They have kept her in hospital and have been monitoring her (taking blood each day etc). Her haemaglobin levels have been steadily increasing. She has been knocked about by the bug she caught of me though :(
She has been on antibiotics and a nebuliser twice a day since Monday and is gradually improving. If her blood count today is ok they will let her go home. She has appointment to see the surgeon again next Monday, so I will no doubt be taking her to that.
I came home yesterday so I can have a break and also to try to catch up on things here. Poor old MrS has hardly seen me in the last month or so and hasn’t been able to get into the garden because he has been working overtime and looking after our animals and the next door neighbour’s chooks while she is away (she also happens to be the landlord’s daughter!). He has also had extra volunteer commitments with planning and checking an orienteering course for scouts in the state forest just out the back of our place.
Needless to say the vegie patch is completely overgrown (after all the rain and warmth lately). Heaps of stuff needs to harvested and pulled out and the green manure planted. We won’t talk about the housework. Place looks like more of a tip than usual (not that I blame MrS…it’s a wonder he is still standing with the hours he has been putting in…plus he has been sick with the wog too).
Anyway in between chores I will try to catch up on the posts that I have missed while MIA
Morning all – oh no – arvo all. (who stole my morning?)
We’ve had a wee drop of rain, won’t register in the gauge. Just enough to stop me going to the garden :(
So I did some housework instead. Big weekend ahead and the spiders weren’t invited!
Anne I’m glad your Mum is on the mend. You’ll catch up eventually with all your chores, don’t panic.
I’m not a happy Vegemite today. I’ve been waiting for 3 weeks for a letter from the Eye and Ear hospital to book me in for an op. Today I rang the opthalmologists rooms to tell them I hadn’t heard anything. They rang the hospital, seems the fax they were supposed to have sent didn’t arrive! I’m not on a waiting list at all. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Have a nice afternoon folks.
Anne great news about your mum. Mr.S….sounds like a great help to you all.:)

See, it starts feeling like that at 35C for me – I can tolerate humidity a lot better than dry.

Well thank you for all the suggestions that I should live as far south as it’s possible to go from Australia. I hate the cold as well as the hot & dry and the hot & humid. So now where do you suggest?
I could get the feeling that BG, Dinny & Collie would like me to go somewhere. LOL.

Did the shopping which cost far too much. My God there are only 2 of us after all. Had to by some Easter goodies for the grandchildren and that wasn’t cheap but fair go. Simply everything has gone up in price, Is it because of too much rain or not enough rain? I get lost.

Morning :)
I dinnnt get a sec to get on here yesdy , busy as a bee in a field of flowers. Not even a moment to garden either and there’s things in pots and seedling trays waiting to plant out still.
A very good day though :) GS went to visit the temporary accommodation unit and loves it, he can’t wait to get there! This place is surrounded by paddocks and he can ride his bike on their property to his hearts content. Moving the boy this coming wed.
We had the rellies over and the young couple back from Fiji and sat about watching a wedding dvd.. the bro in law hobbyiest photographer injected some humor into some parts and it’s a hoot! lol. I will add more pics to my p’bucket folder when I get a moment, but prolly not today. Busy again, inc taking GS to his psych’s appt.
Leeks are up Yay! and I’m still in the process of building up a garlic bed. It’ll have to wait for the weekend. Harvesting more beans ,and the capsicum bushes need staking for the weight of the fruit. Giving every visitor eggs, pumpkins and beans to take home :)
Hubbys caught 10 mice over a couple days in the shed. I need to get a metal bin for storing chook pellets. It’s on the list.
Brekky time.

morning happy and other happies.
same sort of thing here
- beans are producing a colander full each day and these take an hour to pick.
- capsicums are in full production too altho’ they directly respond to irrigation and i’m sick of irrigating. evap rates are low and probably half of the summer rates.
- leek and onions seedlings are big but not ready for planting yet.
- lettuce and spinach are up but blackbirds are scratching some of them
- ms p is catching 3 mice per day and there’s no shortage of them.
- and i’m absent a lot too because the forum just doesn’t have the urgency of life in the raw……and no i don’t garden nude LOL.
we have ants too – as soon as we find the nest they’re gonners i’m afraid.
i’m off – clothes washing and buying chook food etc – cyas.

Good to read of your harvests, Happy Potter and Pepe…gives me the oomph to pick myself and try again after the summer’s disasters…
Happy Potter, I find those plastic bins with tight-fitting lids (think biiiig mayonnaise caterer’s buckets)…I think they must be about 20 litres? Good 2 gallons anyhow, if not more…N E ways, I find they are the best for grains etc that attract rodents…I used to buy bulk flour (10 – 20 kg) and rice when the kinder were small, and this is what I put them in…bought them from the bulk warehouse that supplies the biiiiiiig caterer’s items…
Not sure what you mean by a metal storage container, but these lids fit just dandy, and I have a smaller one in the kitchen for the compost scraps…

excellent news about GS, Happy Potter. Shame it is only temporary but you take what you can get I suppose. Hopefully he will like the other place just as much.
I have seedlings that need planting out now too. The kale seedlings seem to have doubled in size overnight! Must have been the carp and seaweed I gave them the other day. Need to get a few bags of manure to prepare the spot where they are going though. A trip to the Big Green Shed is in order.

I have a couple of galvanised iron bins – the old fashioned sort. They work just fine as long as I remember to put the lid back on. Sometimes I forget and I am likely to find a poor wee dead mousie who has fallen into more food to last him a lifetime, but no water :(

Buderim is like a city now. Wouldn’t like it anymore. Ginger is all grown around Yandina and that’s where the factory is too. Dilly is all major roads into the SSCoast etc now. The powers that be have mucked it all up. Probally had to because of the ever increasing population.

Good morning. Fine and sunny here today. Dog’s been bathed. MrP is mulching all the branches we chopped down yesterday. I’ve been down to the local station to tidy it up. When the tourist rattler train comes on Sunday a couple are chosing to be married at our station. Had to get it all looking pretty for that.
The happy couple and all the guests are arriving on the train. After the vows are said they all get back on the train and travel to the next town for the wedding eats. Pretty unusual but nice.

It’s cool. I like the fact that you can place a sheet of puff pastry on the plate and put some yummy filling in the cavities, another pastry sheet on top and wella..food.
If you download the instruction manual pdf, there’s a chicken and leek pie recipe, and I’m gunna try them for lunch :)

I’ve got the 4 pie maker. Love it. We use it a lot to re-do left overs. Makes nice sweet pies as well.

What’s it like to clean? I’ve been in the market for years for a decent jaffle maker…we had a brick in the kitchen for the second-last one as the catch for the top (to secure it to the bottom) snapped due to over-filling…placed the brick on top when cooking…

I have a 4 pie maker and use it often, they’re great. But one pie is too big for me. So I also got the party pie one. Perfect size little pies for me, or for ‘bring a plate’ things to club meetings and friends visits, and it can do cupcakes and other little neat snack things.
Strange for me to be buying appliances, normally I hate them, but I think these two will be handy.

Easy going by the looks of it. A puff of an olive oil spray would help, for each use too. And non metal tongs to lift foods out.
My old jaffle maker was so scratched I used a sheet of baking paper in it placed on the bare plate, food in then baking paper folded over then shut it.
Actually come to think of it, the baking paper thing is a good idea anyway to preserve these machines, and for easy clean up too.

OH MY GOD did you get the one with RECTANGLES?
These jobbies come in two sorts – sandwich broken into two rectangles or sandwich broken into two triangles. Grew up with rectangles. Now the only ones I can find in the shops are triangles. Even had a drama on freecycle where a lady promised me she had one with rectangles.. went to pick it up.. it was TRIANGLES.
Where did you get it??? Been hunting down the rectangles for YEARS!

I like tripe too! It’s cooking it that’s a problem. Takes a lot of cooking and smells bad while it is cooking.
Ewww!
The day anyone askes me to cook tripe is the day I hang up my apron.
Goes for liver too.
Arvo all..I am gradually catching up on all the chat posts. We love liver (lamb’s fry)..in fact we had it for dinner last night..
Maybe you just haven’t had it cooked right. We also love kidney. MrS likes heart and brains, but I can’t come at those so he doesn’t get to eat them unless he’s out somewhere. LOL

I carry a diary in my bag and any appointment of any kind is checked before confirming……lol

Morning all.Woke up this morning, turned on the TV, and thought – what the hell is all the fuss?? At our place it was just a normal thunderstorm – bit of rain, bit of lightning, no dramas. But the rest of the city – holy crap!
My mum lost a few roof tiles – it hit pretty bad up where she is. My colleague from up that area hasn’t been heard from yet this morning..
And the office leaked! The storm came from the north and my window is on the north side – the gutters overflowed and water leaked in. Luckily yesterday afternoon someone came in and moved all my stuff back from the window, but my office buddy has al ot of wet papers and the carpet on her side is all wet.
I was wondering how you fared.
I got distracted and decided to fit the bedhead I got off freecycle to my bed, which doesn’t have one. I have been unscrewing, sawing and chiseling and am taking a break before I start fitting, drilling and re-screwing. In the meanwhile my room is a mess because I have had to move everything around to get to the head of my bed…

A few years after I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was new to our small town. From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around from then on.
As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. In my young mind, he had a special niche. My parents were complementary instructors: Mum taught me good from evil, and Dad taught me to obey. But the stranger… he was our storyteller. He would keep us spellbound for hours on end with adventures, mysteries and comedies.
If I wanted to know anything about politics, history or science, he always knew the answers about the past, understood the present and even seemed able to predict the future! He took my family to the first major league ball game. He made me laugh, and he made me cry. The stranger never stopped talking, but Dad didn’t seem to mind.
Sometimes, Mum would get up quietly while the rest of us were shushing each other to listen to what he had to say, and she would go to the kitchen for peace and quiet. (I wonder now if she ever prayed for the stranger to leave.)
Dad ruled our household with certain moral convictions, but the stranger never felt obligated to honour them. Profanity, for example, was not allowed in our home – not from us, our friends or any visitors. Our long time visitor, however, got away with four-letter words that burned my ears and made my dad squirm and my mother blush. My Dad didn’t permit the liberal use of alcohol but the stranger encouraged us to try it on a regular basis. He made cigarettes look cool, cigars manly, and pipes distinguished. He talked freely (much too freely!) about sex. His comments were sometimes blatant, sometimes suggestive, and generally embarrassing..
I now know that my early concepts about relationships were influenced strongly by the stranger. Time after time, he opposed the values of my parents, yet he was seldom rebuked… And NEVER asked to leave.
More than fifty years have passed since the stranger moved in with our family. He has blended right in and is not nearly as fascinating as he was at first. Still, if you could walk into my parents’ den today, you would still find him sitting over in his corner, waiting for someone to listen to him talk and watch him draw his pictures.
His name?….
We just call him ‘TV.’
He has a wife now….we call her ‘Computer.’
Their first child is “Cell Phone”.
Second child “I Pod “

Enjoy your rectangular toasted sandwiches, they’re better than the triangles :)

This is the first rectangle one I’ve had and all the family agree, they are heaps better!

Or, click on the site and it will tell you where to get one in your area. Or you may be able to order online, not sure..

Why??
I think it’s the ratio of crusts to innards. A triangle feels like mostly crust with just a bit of innard, whereas a rectangle feels like less crust and more innard. Oh, so long since I’ve had a rectangle!!!
I think that makes sense in a sciency way too – a line diagonally across a sandwich would be longer than a line from the middle of the top to the middle of the bottom. Yep, too much crust in triangles.

Ok I put the question to the family.
Smaller.
Easier to hold.
Filling cools evenly and the middle doesnt burn your mouth while the corners go cold.
Doesn’t go soggy and sag in the middle because the filling is concentrated in the middle of the triangles.
Crust corners aren’t hard as rock.
Look nicer.
the Rectangle is also easier to get a good dunk into a soup, whereas teh trianle is always being held by two corners which leave only two dodgy corners and a small middle.
The rectangle is King, long live the Rectangle.

MrBL said the crusty bits are the best, and he’s very impessed by the weighty matters that occupy the mind of us forumites. LOL Cheeky man.
Back in “the day” we had round jaffle irons that sat on the hotplate and you had to turn them over.

State trusttee in place now. Payday for him today ,and gees it’s amazing that all his vulture friends haven’t shown up.PS. We had to eat lunch fast to get to this appt on time, but the chicken and leek pie thingos in the sandwich maker were absolutely yummy!
I can’t wait to make some mini muffins in the party pie thingo machine. Rhubarb and almond. Tomorrow :)
I love that. When you say “No” to GS and what he hears. It sounds so reasonable from his point of view. What it sounds like to me is “progress.” Happy day.

good morning o40. It is a lovely autumn day, isn’t it? Hope to get into the garden today, after I have done my chores and errands.
Morning…..seems I’m frock shopping again today…….went shopping the other day, Found a lovely set and guess what……it’s so damaged…the shop lady was going to knock $200 off it. She did a ring round and it was the only one left in my size in Oz Land….bugger.
We said “NO” and so I’m still naked for the wedding…….

Pom, in answer to your unashamed atttempt at poaching my onion thread,
BA was to be knocked on the head last Monday. We thought his tumour was giving him too much pain. However, i opted for a last ditch attempt of a topup of his cartrophyn for his arthritis. It seems to have benefitted him quite a lot, so now his pain is under control we can have a bit of a run in the mornings and a walk of about a kilometre once or twice a day. He even grabbed a chook yesdy, ever so gently of course. So he appears to have a reprieve from the long sleep.
Good thing too because although i have dug him a hole, it filled up with water the other night and besides, i am unsure what to plant on him.
The bludger chewed a bit of a hole in his fur, ostensibly trying to get at his inflamed joints but i know he did it so i can’t get a decent jacket out of him. Once his Winter coat comes on fully tho, he better stay healthy or he’s a jacket!
Vet reckons his heart sounds a bit rough, no doubt because he’s almost 15.
His teeth are a bit buggered, but that’s OK. I’ll chew for him.
He has lost a bit of weight. That’s OK too, give his heart less to do and means he requires less meds so he is a bit cheaper to run..
His tumour (bum glands) seems to be growing very slowly, so he should be OK from that angle. It doesn’t appear to give him discomfort at all and he goes to the loo OK.
So in short, he is a half blind, mostly deaf, rotten toothed, lumpy bummed, scraggly furred, arthritic, cardiac arrest candidate, with a shit eating grin and a happy disposition and positive attitude.
Hopefully, he’ll just pass away in his sleep. Chances are though, he’ll be visiting my grave….
Mongrel is bulletproof.
Just back from picking up my new toy for the weekend.

yep all the Dial before the dig is near the road, Only dam water runs into the paddocks witch is why im trenching to put the pipe under the ground.

Good to read of your harvests, Happy Potter and Pepe…gives me the oomph to pick myself and try again after the summer’s disasters…
Happy Potter, I find those plastic bins with tight-fitting lids (think biiiig mayonnaise caterer’s buckets)…I think they must be about 20 litres? Good 2 gallons anyhow, if not more…N E ways, I find they are the best for grains etc that attract rodents…I used to buy bulk flour (10 – 20 kg) and rice when the kinder were small, and this is what I put them in…bought them from the bulk warehouse that supplies the biiiiiiig caterer’s items… Not sure what you mean by a metal storage container, but these lids fit just dandy, and I have a smaller one in the kitchen for the compost scraps…
hello – hello – can you hear me? – i’m back about ten pages and climbing.
plastic rubbish bins are ok for rodent protection of chook food i find.
i give up. too much backchat.
i’ll try to catch up later.
cyas.
I have a dress or is it a jacket with a skirt????

Good thing too because although i have dug him a hole, it filled up with water the other night and besides, i am unsure what to plant on him.
The bludger chewed a bit of a hole in his fur, ostensibly trying to get at his inflamed joints but i know he did it so i can’t get a decent jacket out of him. Once his Winter coat comes on fully tho, he better stay healthy or he’s a jacket!Vet reckons his heart sounds a bit rough, no doubt because he’s almost 15.
His teeth are a bit buggered, but that’s OK. I’ll chew for him.
He has lost a bit of weight. That’s OK too, give his heart less to do and means he requires less meds so he is a bit cheaper to run.. His tumour (bum glands) seems to be growing very slowly, so he should be OK from that angle. It doesn’t appear to give him discomfort at all and he goes to the loo OK.So in short, he is a half blind, mostly deaf, rotten toothed, lumpy bummed, scraggly furred, arthritic, cardiac arrest candidate, with a shit eating grin and a happy disposition and positive attitude.
Hopefully, he’ll just pass away in his sleep. Chances are though, he’ll be visiting my grave….

Yes I did invade your onion thread, If I could count on you logging on regularly I wouldn’t have to do it. No matter now anyway. I got your attention and I needed to know. Glad the old fella is having a few more good days.
I would like him to go during his sleep too. Hope that’s how it happens.
Give him a hug and a scratch from me.

I got the rosella jam made and it turned out lovely this time.I love the colour of R jam. I cleaned out kitchen cupboards while it was cooking and got rid of some coffee mugs and drinking glasses. Odd bits and pieces that were one a set of 4 or 6. Shoved to the back and never used anymore.
Found biscuits dated back to June 2009. It’s not like MrP to allow anything like that to get stale.
This evening I chopped back a duranta that was getting too big. It’s all ready for the mulcher tomorrow.

Because I didn’t get mine done yest’ lol. Well I managed to feed the rhubarb with some fish fert ,then..I had one after another round of visitors, then ran into son in laws parents down the street and ended up at a cafe sitting for hours fixing the worlds problems, and eating for it. Then the newlyweds wanted to buy a printer/fax copier and knew we would be able to pick a goodie, so off with them to Hardly Normals shop , then back to their place to install the works and eat some more food.
But, I will garden today!!

Good to read of your harvests, Happy Potter and Pepe…gives me the oomph to pick myself and try again after the summer’s disasters…
Happy Potter, I find those plastic bins with tight-fitting lids (think biiiig mayonnaise caterer’s buckets)…I think they must be about 20 litres? Good 2 gallons anyhow, if not more…N E ways, I find they are the best for grains etc that attract rodents…I used to buy bulk flour (10 – 20 kg) and rice when the kinder were small, and this is what I put them in…bought them from the bulk warehouse that supplies the biiiiiiig caterer’s items… Not sure what you mean by a metal storage container, but these lids fit just dandy, and I have a smaller one in the kitchen for the compost scraps…
hello – hello – can you hear me? – i’m back about ten pages and climbing.
plastic rubbish bins are ok for rodent protection of chook food i find.
Yes Yes , I can hear you now Pepe, just !!
Good o. I’m off to the B shop later so I will get one.
Mouse count is up to 20.

Good going with the jam…none of my drinking glassess or mugs match, but they don’t leak either so they’re still good…going to poison my duranta hedge and replace with something more “local”, like a small lilly pilly or similar…needs to be drought resistant…love yellow wood but not sure if it likes being pruned…the flutterbyes like the duranta flowers but it’s not useful for much else…

Hangin out with the Young and Beautiful was a blast :D
A whole week without a drama too!
Well ok one minor one.. got meself in a little pickle. My car keys split ring slipped over my thumb when fumbling in my handbag.
It’s a fat and very strong split ring though and with all the keys on it, it was stuck firm. I went into a key cutting place and the bloke had my digit so close to a grinder, I shut my eyes. Got it off though.
You shoulda seen the look on the next customers face when he walked in and the key bloke had my hand to the grinder wheel though!! lol!
Now I have a new flash key holder that can’t catch fingers in.
lol.
LOL thank goodness for that one drama Happy Potter, it kept your feet on the ground for the week!
The incoming customer probably had visions of Aunty Jack flit through his mind… lol lol!

That could only happen to you HP. You crack me up sometimes.
I’ve been out cutting grubs in half with the secatuers. No more Mrs Nicegirl. They are on a limited life span. I try not to kill stuff in the garden, specially grubs because they turn into moths and butterflies but enough is enough. I’m sure I left 3 million still alive to carry on the sequence.
BTW…I have found out what the leaf butterfly feeds on and I’m not going to tell you. No I wouldn’t do that. They eat tall grasses. Like paspalum and such. Found out from my big brother who dabbles in entomology, learnt from our Dad. Also found out that those little webby pockets of insect eggs you find under your eaves, hatch and head straight for your lawn. We (my bro and I) should talk more about this stuff.

wonder how often he gets a job like that!
The world is becoming more expensive, isn’t it? Altho’ I must admit I stocked up on the smoked salmon yesterday as it keeps so well in the outside fridge meatkeeper, and it was good specials…likewise the cat food…multiply the savings by 10 and it’s a good deal…
Off to get Sonny Joe out of bed, I need my chainsaw cranked up…trips to the dump are in order…
finally got into the garden. dug some sheep poo into the bare section of the vege bed where previously I had zucchinis. Have sowed some parsnip and mini turnip seeds and planted out some kale seedlings. Spare seedlings I have potted up for giving away or selling at a church fete stall I have volunteered to help with. In a bit of a sweat now. Still have the tank bed to weed out and add sheep poo to where I am planning on planting the garlic bulbs I bought from Diggers, but will probably do that next week. This afternoon I will be making a Tiramisu and potato salad for Thee’s lunch tomorrow.
Phew sweating here too.
I had to come in and google what emerging carrots look like so I didn’t pull them out with weeds.
Silly me too.. putting carrot seed in a post tomato bed isn’t a great idea.. the tomatoes that rotted and fell have left thousands of seeds and they look very like emerging carrots..
I havta learn to leave the bed bare for a while.
Leeks brocoli and cauli seedlings weeded and fed with worm wee. Another coffee then off to find where I can get untreated sleepers.

Morning, slow start to the day. Had a cappuccino with the elf, while our great mouse hunter stalked her toy in the loo (again).
When I got up this morning, Millie was by the oven , just sitting and watching. So I got the big torch and removed that little cover thingy at the base on the oven.
Yep there was the mouse in the corner. Millie wasn’t too keen to go in there, so I tried “Lucky” and she wasn’t interested….she’s more of a hands on healing sort of kitty…very gentle (poor choice on my part).
So we got Rebel (had to wake him up) and he was “Oh my God!!!. Its so dirty under here and me with my white fur”.!!!! He removed himself quick smart.
Tell you what these cats need to watch a few feral cat docos to know what they are meant to be doing…….
Switched the torch off and in went Millie.:D
After about ….oh 5 to 10 mins, out she can with the mouse in her tightly clamped mouth. I picked them both up and into the loo again. (this time with the bin removed) and I haven’t been game to have a look see.
Been 30 mins so far…………
Geez her crap is gonna pong later on when the mouse is digested too:( eeeeewwwwww
Off to have a look see…..
Both are still playing tag in the loo room.
I opened the door a smidgen and saw the mouse run past with Millie following. Gee I feel sorry for the mouse:( Such a softy with animals. Think I need to grow some *alls and get in the real world……… 1 mouse can lead to his whole clan moving in.
Mouse update…..
Millie is tired of playing and the mouse is hiding around by the “S” bend of the loo.
She’s out of the room and Harley has tagged her and gone in for a go. Bluddy sook is howling in there….Another cat that isn’t here for mousing in our house.
Guess its up to me to remove the said mouse…… I’ll knock it on the head and feed it to the chooks……… they’ll have a ball running round with it.

A busy weekend here but nice.

Tonight we’re out to dinner with the social club and tomorrow my kids are coming over and taking us out for lunch. We have tickets for the Colonial Tram Restaurant from Mr O40’s kids too. We have been spoilt!
I went to the market this morning and bought some vegie seedlings so that will perhaps make me remove my digit and finish preparing the vegie beds.

It’s not that I don’t want him to move, it’s just that he only wants to go to Melbourne because his Metal Forum friends are there. He doesn’t really know them very well. He’s going down in a couple weeks to visit some of them and he plans to check out the job situation.
If it works out it’ll be good for him but he’s so naive. Part of the attraction is a girl who’s interested in him, but they’ve never met, and she’s very (how do I word this????) WORLDLY.

==========She’s a bass player in a metal band so “very cool”. LOL
Father son talk needed but I doubt it’ll happen. I’ve been offering a few words of wisdom but he’s nearly 22 so it’s a bit late.
He’s assured me she’s really nice just misunderstood. Fingers crossed he doesn’t get burnt.
So when does he leave ? once they turn 18n you dont get a legal word IN !,ONLY thing you prolly get after thaqt is a ph call , sorry mUM YOU WHERE RIGHT , i NEED $$ FOR A PLANE TICKET HONE !!!!
in about nine days Thee. He’s not going to be staying there just yet. He has to come home until he gets his licence so he can take his car.

It’s jolly hard Bubba but you have to let go sometime. You’ve done your best and raised him right now it’s up to him.
Can always send him out my way for a feed !
I can’t get the hang of cooking for two. It’s 7 or nothing lol!
Thanks HP.

My day is organised for tomorrow. I’m off mushrooming with a bunch of mushie ID-ing foodies. It’s near Trentham and St Erth, so we are going there too. One of the ladies is looking for a pomegranate and I told her I saw them at the nursery there and her eyes lit up :)
I best clean up my gumboots, and not take my purse, lol.
Might need to let the lady know that a Pomegranate ain’t no fungi…
Well I don’t reckon we will find mushies. I haven’t seen any about on my travels. I will get a mushroom kit at the nursery and make em all groan and roll their eyes lol.
I cleaned out my gumboots of redbacks.. there was four in one boot. There’s more wild weather on the way for Vic tomorrow too.

Yes it is a plauge. All over the local news.
We’ve had to spray the fences and house perimiter, but I haven’t seen one inside.
It’s gloves on for everything outside. I went to pick some gerberas and the spidys have made nests at the base’s of them and in the rock border. They are everywhere. Even in between the lemon tree leaves and under pot lips especially dangerous.

I’d be having nightmares. I remember when we lived on the coast there were red backs congregating under the capping on the fibro fences. When I hosed the gardens they would dash out for a drink and duck back under the capping. That’s the worst I’ve ever seen them.

I’m sure glad we don’t get them in Townsville, Redbacks are a real problem in SA, but I have rarely seen them webbing in vegetation, normally its just pots and irrigation boxes!

I can’t go near the rhododendrons for red backs, the pots are close together and the spiders have made nests inbetween them as if to join pots up. I just water them from afar. They have also congregated in the exposed webbing layers of the shade cloth ‘tutu’s’ I’d put in the worm farms. Again, it’s leather gloves on and check before touching anything.
I don’t know what climatic conditions changed to cause a plauge of them, but I hope it changes back soon. Incredibly, I have managed to keep the worst of it and the newspaper items (I shed them asap) from the arachnophobics who live here. I have to or I’d have a riot on my hands.If you wanna wipe out redbacks, get a head mounted flashlight and go after them at night. All those weird webs will have a redback in them at night. In the daylight they hide. So rip into them at night. A pair of thongs is lethal! I cleared my shed in one night with a light and a pair of thongs to slap ‘em with!
Longy said:
LOL! Yes I have thonged and slapped a few to date. But have you seen a plauge of them ? Those weird webs are actually ingenious.. looks messy to us but they are actually catapults.. flings the victim to them in wait. The lazy red back just sits and waits for it’s food to be thrown at it.

Yep I agree. But he is 22. If you push the issue that only makes them want to go more.
He may well decide he doesn’t like them.

The mushie hunt’s been postponed until next weekend. They are after a particular yellow mushie, the name they said but I don’t remember it.
They carry large flat close weave cane trays to place their mushoom finds on. Dodgy funghi caps up, wanted ones caps down and the spore gather in the cane, then they place the tray upside down on fertile ground and tap the tray to transfer the spore to grow them in a more convenient location. They lose trays on windy days.
You’re starting to sound like my old english teacher! lol.
Morning. I’ve a horrible headache (didn’t get to sleep ‘till 3 am) and can’t think of something nice to say so I’m saying nothing at all, lol.
Well on second thoughts it looks like rain, so thats nice.

Hmm doesn’t sound like it. They said they were for everyday dishes and were not poisionous nor an hallucinogenic. I will find out later and let you know ok.
They’re toorak tractor driving hippies, older than me. But they wouldn’t want to try to give me anything that made me, or themselves, pie eyed. I’d smack their heads together and abandon them.
But nar, they just want the food.
Well so far the weather isn’t doing anything exciting at all, so I’m going to go potter about.
I couldn’t find untreated sleepers yesdy, so I’m going to look further afield. Or I’ll get some more big rocks for a vege bed border. Either way I have to plant out the garlic soon.

Painmaster, these are the fungi the foodies are after.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactarius_deliciosus
But you know what.. soon as I saw the pic of them I nearly died! I have these growing under my conifers out front and I’ve been pulling them out and chucking them!! The foodies would just about kill for them. They travel great distances for these fungi and go on and on about the flavour , and I have them in my front yard.
SHH! I’m not telling them!!
I’ll just ‘discover’ them one day and tell this lot to come and have a look.

a few spots of rain here.
autumn has come in the form of cooler temps and overcast skies but no real rain and the deciduous trees are still green.

Morning again…….. I was up for 2 hours and went to check on the poor elf at 8 am…laid down next to him and we both went back to sleep..
He’s just had a shower and I have just gotten up again….to the smell of rain and the sound of it on the roof.
Think I’ll just have to take sleep when and where I can. Decided this not sleeping at night is going to be part of the norm with the elf ….

Good morning all…yes it’s still 11 am here and I will be so glad when this daylight “saving” saga finishes…I worked it out…6 months it lasts for!
I’ve just brought up two barrowloads of rotted basalt, start filling up the pond-like depressions where the cars park in front of the house…going to bring up some of the blacksoil as well, spread a thin layer on my water repellent garden that I might turn over to some roses called Nicorettes or something…that have been recommended to me by others living in my area…
Those of you who know Junior Rugby League will be interested to know that Sonny Joe’s team won 64 – 6 yesterday, because the opposition’s bench has been suspended (don’t know how long for)…whilst “sitting on the bench”, they ran on and joined some biffo going on during last week’s match…only 13 players all game yesterday for them, and Sonny Joe’s team had 7 reserves…

Sometimes a good way of learning how to swim?

Some of them grew a head and got daytime jobs, others are still wearing the same leather jacket they did when they left.
It’s not the moving that has me worried. The whole thing with this girl is turning into a three ring circus ATM. Texting was going fast and furious last night and I kept getting dragged into it.
He’s never even had a proper girl friend before and now he’s picked a very heavey duty one. It’s all going to end badly, I can feel it in my bones.

She was let under the oven area again and she downed a baby mouse…. a real baby mouse……..one that shouldn’t leave home.

It’s not the moving that has me worried. The whole thing with this girl is turning into a three ring circus ATM. Texting was going fast and furious last night and I kept getting dragged into it.
He’s never even had a proper girl friend before and now he’s picked a very heavey duty one. It’s all going to end badly, I can feel it in my bones.
I’m glad you are talking about this Bubba…….. I know its a forum and it’s (out there…so to speak) but we can support you and listen to you. Maybe at times off some sound advice.
Hugs…..sweetie
Thanks Lucky.
We’ve always been very open with the boys but right now I’m hearing things a mother would rather not know. I’d be happier if this girl was a little less “experienced” with men.
She’s probably quite nice and definately very pretty.

Same with us….we have openly talked to our kids about everything…… I think at times this has been a help and at time not.
Some of the things Jimbob has told me has made my skin crawl.
He can’t get over how some of the girls he knows…prefer to be treated like crap than respectful by their boyfriend. Jimbob says girls are too high maintenance for him. So its just him and his dog and night school and he’s happy.

Yes but Bubba, surely he’s got half of you and half of Mr BL in him? Must count for something?
I do understand your concerns tho’: there’s broken hearts and very, very broken hearts…

My son got entangled with a girl on a world online game. His first experience of having, as he thought, someone “there” for him. He got completely sucked in to a scam. Fortunately he told me before he bought a plane ticket to New York. He told me the whole sorry story that she had spun him, and I was able to point out the bits that didn’t “add up”. He had sent her money previously and I didn’t want to know how much. I felt bad being the one to burst his bubble, but thank God I was able to!
We have a little rain gently pitter pattering here. Bad weather is forecast so I have battened down the hatches.
We had a lovely afternoon with my kids and a very nice lunch :)
Back to the real world now LOL!

Good morning all…yes it’s still 11 am here and I will be so glad when this daylight “saving” saga finishes…I worked it out…6 months it lasts for!I’ve just brought up two barrowloads of rotted basalt, start filling up the pond-like depressions where the cars park in front of the house…going to bring up some of the blacksoil as well, spread a thin layer on my water repellent garden that I might turn over to some roses called Nicorettes or something…that have been recommended to me by others living in my area…
Those of you who know Junior Rugby League will be interested to know that Sonny Joe’s team won 64 – 6 yesterday, because the opposition’s bench has been suspended (don’t know how long for)…whilst “sitting on the bench”, they ran on and joined some biffo going on during last week’s match…only 13 players all game yesterday for them, and Sonny Joe’s team had 7 reserves…
I so remember the days of standing around the perimiter of the footy grounds when son was playing junior soccer/league. All a bit embarrassing it was. Not because of the play but because of the parents and not all parents. I mostly felt sorry for the kids. We did it at basket ball stadiums and crickert grounds and finally Aussie Rules fields.
A nice easy win for your son D.

Bubba, it may well end badly but son has to give these things a go. That’s when you’ll be needed more than ever. Try not to let it get to you because if he doesn’t try this time he will definately try next time or sometime soon.

Good idea there:D
I’ve had a lovely arvo out in the garden doing this and that. I let the chooks out and we foraged together for lawn grubs and bugs. I sprayed all the citrus for scale.
I came in to cook tea and heard a loud squawk..I went to investigate and Max went like a blur past me and got his jaws around a cat. A mad flurry of fur , and I wasn’t going to get inbetween them, so I poked them with a broom and the cat got away up a tree, but it’s definately injured. Neighbours cat. I hosed Max for blood on him but it’s not his.
I did warn the bloke, my dog will kill if it comes over into my yard. I hope it will be ok though.

Painmaster, these are the fungi the foodies are after.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactarius_deliciosus
But you know what.. soon as I saw the pic of them I nearly died! I have these growing under my conifers out front and I’ve been pulling them out and chucking them!! The foodies would just about kill for them. They travel great distances for these fungi and go on and on about the flavour , and I have them in my front yard.
SHH! I’m not telling them!!
I’ll just ‘discover’ them one day and tell this lot to come and have a look.
Gawd!!
Nice one HP! I wouldn’t tell ‘em, just show up with one on your next outing?

He ain’t never gonna have a GF if you keep engaging… Mother. But let him know as hes getting on the plane that he is welcome back in a fortnight after it alls goes ‘orribly wrong. He just might have to avoid twitter, facebook, messenger for a while that’s all…

Only ABC1+2+3/SBS1+2+3, but not GWN or WIN. But in the bit of town where I live the reception is rubbish…
If I put up a huuuuge mast I might be ok, but for now I get perfect analog reception from the free Aurora satellite service. That’s NOT Foxtel.

a cousin of mine fell in love with and married a lady from the Philippines. One year to the day after he brought her back to Australia she left him. He was her ticket to Australian residency and a singing career in nightclubs. That’s not to mention the drugs found in his luggage on the way home from the honeymoon that her family had hidden there… He never married again. For him it was true love.

What a shame. He wouldn’t be the only one it happened to. I know someone too. He came home from work one day to find the house totally emptied. Very sad.

God said to Abraham, “kill me a son.”
Abe said “man you must be puttin me on”
God said “No.”
Abe said “What?
God said “you can do what you wanna but the next time you see me comin you better run”
Abe said “where’d you want this killin done?”
God said “on Highway 61”
Seems there are a few scams about dunnit!

hi Lucky & Longy.
I too find it annoying that people don’t keep their cats under control. We regularly have 3 of our neighbours’ cats in either the front or back yard. There’s one that comes in the back to sit in the doorway of the ducks’ pen to stalk mice but it bothers the chooks and ducks to have it there.

Mitchum council is bringing in new cat laws….
only 2 cats per house (if you own more than 2…as they die….can’t replace).
registered
microchip
desexed.
Up to people to hire traps from council and deliver said cat to place for the cat to be checked and returned to owner.
Big fur fight over it.

He ain’t never gonna have a GF if you keep engaging… Mother. But let him know as hes getting on the plane that he is welcome back in a fortnight after it alls goes ‘orribly wrong. He just might have to avoid twitter, facebook, messenger for a while that’s all…

hi Lucky & Longy.I too find it annoying that people don’t keep their cats under control. We regularly have 3 of our neighbours’ cats in either the front or back yard. There’s one that comes in the back to sit in the doorway of the ducks’ pen to stalk mice but it bothers the chooks and ducks to have it there.
Mitchum council is bringing in new cat laws….
only 2 cats per house (if you own more than 2…as they die….can’t replace).
registered
microchip
desexed.Up to people to hire traps from council and deliver said cat to place for the cat to be checked and returned to owner.
Big fur fight over it.
It’s about time and it’s about protecting peoples pet cats. Too many stays and horrible people wandering about harming them.

I warned him again, keep your amimal in your yard or build a cat run. Max was just copying me chasing cats out and he’s learnt that I protect feed and look after the chickens, so he is just doing his job and earning his keep.

I’ve had a lovely arvo out in the garden doing this and that. I let the chooks out and we foraged together for lawn grubs and bugs. I sprayed all the citrus for scale.I came in to cook tea and heard a loud squawk..I went to investigate and Max went like a blur past me and got his jaws around a cat. A mad flurry of fur , and I wasn’t going to get inbetween them, so I poked them with a broom and the cat got away up a tree, but it’s definately injured. Neighbours cat. I hosed Max for blood on him but it’s not his.
I did warn the bloke, my dog will kill if it comes over into my yard. I hope it will be ok though.
Go Max.
I agree. We have the neighbours cat in our yard….. we have cats pissing on cars and doors.
Our cats don’t…we’re responsible cat owners.
Max ROCKS!!!!
We finally got totally fed up with the neighbours Tom cat so MrBL went to have a talk to them. I’d already tried.
They said he was booked in to get the chop last Monday and we havn’t seen him since. They’re nice enough people but not very bright and they at least said they’d try and keep him in at night.

I’m sure he’s a lovely kid and all and if he’s really keen, and he’s still keeping you in the picture (some might say dragging) then it might just work and who knows in 20 years time, you might look back at this moment and laugh, or cry, or cry laughing, or laugh cryingly, or if you’ve had too many meals out of an aluminum saucepan, then you might not remember this moment at all.

This Tom comes over at night and annoys my cat through the screen door. MrBL is the only person in the family who hasn’t been hurt, by our own cat, trying to break it up. He goes a bit psyhco and attacks the nearest person when he’s in fight mode. The vet said it’s trandferred aggression.

I have one of my neighbours cats under a young rainforest tree. It’s growing well!
I really wish our council had the guts to put a curfew on cats. They’ve just brought in registration for all cats and compulsory desexing for new kittens or adults if they change hands, but nothing for existing cats.
They just wimped out on the curfew because of public pressure.

I saw that, my post plan was to be topical in a hope that the conversation would wander elsewhere, just like this…
I put some silver perch in my dam last year.
They are now about 250mm long.

They are now about 120mm long.

you could wire it up to a battery, and set off a charge each time she gives you the irrits?

++++++++++++++++++++++++
Once the weather cools, they will stop eating and therefore growing. So about the end of April, i reckon the first lot will be looking like food. They should be about 800gm to 1 kg by then. They are eating heaps at the moment and a ‘feeding frenzy’ on your own dam really is a buzz. It’s giving me impetus to research aquaponics with a view to establishing some ponds under my pergola that gow fish and vegies.
Stay tuned!

Mate, i chucked a 3” grasshopper in there the other day and he lasted about 2 seconds. So i reckon with a light rig, they’d be fun for catching now but just a b it small to eat.

Well, it would be a major outlay and i can’t gaurantee the water levels in the dam. If we got a drought i could be stuffed. A tank tho, is easy to top up, They don’t leak water to the watertable. The learning curve would be steep and stuffups would be expensive on a large scale.
Maybe one day!

I thought it was a good idea when I first heard of it (I think they did a segment on GA once.) Getting the balance right would be the key. It may have a forgiving margin for error though. I guess if your fish die they would still feed the plants!

I think the fish would be OK if your water was OK. The plant side of it would be far more fussy i reckon. If the plants aren’t there, the water will become dirty, so another filtration method would be required. You can see tho why i would rather start on a small project. It’s a very simple concept but i’m sure the intricacies are many and detailed!

When you have a hydroponic system, you have to fertilise.
When you have an aquaculture system, you have to get rid of the nutrient to make it sustainable.
This concept combines the two, cancelling both problems out.
It’s a win win situation.

Dinetta said:Those of you who know Junior Rugby League will be interested to know that Sonny Joe’s team won 64 – 6 yesterday, because the opposition’s bench has been suspended (don’t know how long for)…whilst “sitting on the bench”, they ran on and joined some biffo going on during last week’s match…only 13 players all game yesterday for them, and Sonny Joe’s team had 7 reserves…
I so remember the days of standing around the perimiter of the footy grounds when son was playing junior soccer/league. All a bit embarrassing it was. Not because of the play but because of the parents and not all parents. I mostly felt sorry for the kids. We did it at basket ball stadiums and crickert grounds and finally Aussie Rules fields.
Well as I said later, it wasn’t really a game…just a run-on for both teams…this was before I heard about the suspension saga…and I agree Pomolo (but I’m lucky because I’m deaf), the other parents (not all of them) can be scary…there are two JRL teams in town, the T’s and the B’s..it was the T’s playing the visitors last week, and if the T supporters are anything to go by (almost aggressive), it might be showing up in the T players as well…hence the visitors desire to join in the biffing of the T’s…however those bench players had a lesson to learn and hopefully all the JRL bench players will remember it for a long time to come…
a win is a win, but a score like that is hardly a game, is it…

Like my lot, although mine aren’t far away, they always raid the pantry fridge and bikkies apon arrival. They don’t cook this stuff they said, because I do , lol.
This time I’m doing a black forrest cake, a carrot cake for a birthday, an empress pudding and a dark fruit cake. I couldn’t find a tin fluted mould anywhere, so I’m improvising with a giant ribbed cupcake cake tin.I need to find an angelica herb and candy my own too. The stuff you buy is crap.
And expensive.
The local nursery is going to order a couple in for me from ‘All Rare Herbs’ a place in Qld. It will be 2 years until I can harvest and candy my own angelica, but worth it :)

Yes, redgum (and WA’s Jarra/Karri/Marri) is a hard wood.
Here’s a bit of trivia for you..
Not all hardwooods produce hard wood! Or heavy wood.
For example BALSA is a hardwood!!
“Hardwood” is defined by other characteristics than it’s fibre.
yep – redgum is hard altho’ softer when not fully dry. if the colour is dark red it tends to be ‘green’ (still wet) and is easier to cut. i goes lighter and greyer as it gets older. a chainsaw or a new ‘ripping’ blade on your power saw will cut it.

mornings
i had to fast this morning for a blood test at the medical centre. walking around the kitchen in circles is no good so i got there early . two nannas were already waiting and by the time the doors opened, a line up of about 8 fasting people, including 4 under 30’s were contemplating skipping up the queue. i didn’t work – me and the two nannas were first in line. eating and drinking coffee now.

I should think it jolly well didn’t work! hate it when people come in after and expect to be first in line…emergencies and children and the very frail excepted, of course…
Today is a big day here for me.
Today is my last visit to the dentist.:D
2 years ago I wrote here how scared I was and you guys were so supportive towards me. And I did read and find comfort in what you said.
Today I get my teeth cleaned.
It has taken this long, due to clashes with other doctor appointments for the elf. Canceled apps due to illness, either with us or the dentist. Also if she (dentist lady) was on holidays.
So thank you…………….. from the bottom of my teeth roots.
In the chair (both if us) at 2.15 pm. Elf first and then me…he’s got a scan too this arvo and he can go to that and leave me in the chair on my own if needed.
Hey haven’t a blossomed:D Willing to sit there on my own:D

Thee gave me some Churchill Blue Willow china that I think came in a bin. Not a complete set but a good start. There is a teapot with lid, a sugar bowl with lid, a milk jug, 7 tea cups (but no saucers), 8 coffee mugs and 8 egg cups. I just bought 7 saucers off ebay to go with the cups but need to get another cup and saucer to make up the 8. I figure that in itself would make a good set, but tempted to look into dinner plates and bowls etc. as well.

Hard when you have to drink 3 litres of water in the hours before your appointment also. I’d probably go so far as to say it’s cruel.

From Wikipedia
Structure
Hardwoods have a more complex structure than softwoods. The dominant feature separating “hardwoods” from softwoods is the presence of pores, or vessels. The vessels may show considerable variation in size, shape of perforation plates (simple, scalariform, reticulate, foraminate), and structure of cell wall (e.g. spiral thickenings).
>Good idea…the way some ladies wear it, I wonder if they’re trying to intimidate the general populace…

I think the fish would be OK if your water was OK. The plant side of it would be far more fussy i reckon. If the plants aren’t there, the water will become dirty, so another filtration method would be required. You can see tho why i would rather start on a small project. It’s a very simple concept but i’m sure the intricacies are many and detailed!

Thinking sewing in the morning, then into the city to the markets, then home.
But I need to go to a sewing shop to do with what I am sewing for the wedding…….
maybe
sewing morning, home for lunch, sewing shop (Elizabeth) train from there to city, then back to Elizabeth and then home?????????????

while tatts might be permanent. Piercings are relatively transient if you just stop putting bits of metal in them.

“inside voice” would be the photo where he is wearing the Brown T-shirt! Brown! That’s the creepiest photo, he almost looks normal…
I’m tuning out for a while. Things are getting too slow.
Just trying to catch up you chatterers..
We went to rescue eldests girls computor which was suddenly having some connection probs. She’s full on studying and needed it going. The man fixed it but it took forever and I got bored waiting. So I weeded her little garden, did her dishes and put a load of clothes in the wash. I ate 2 chuppa chups and a roll of wine gums but I was still bored lol. I even patted their pet snake..
I didn’t get the sleepers but I will tomorrow. The garlic planting can wait another day.
And..
I LOVE perfumes! I must have 50 of them at last count, all EDP’s and I wear them all. Not all together of course.. but they are all my favourites. Theres a way to wear them so you don’t make people cough and take a step back or give them an asthma attack. Subtle scent with a short spray, don’t drown yourself in it or re apply every 5 minutes like I have seen some ladies do.

on a big mirrored shelf in the ensuite. My girls raid it often. I’ve bought about 4 over the years, the rest were gifts. Unfortunately I can’t smell one after a few wears, my nose switches off to it. That’s a common problem. A new one is good for a week or so. That’s why theres so many, there’s always one I haven’t worn for a few months.
Too right Lucky, I don’t have time to stand there deciding which one to wear today, so only use one when I go out.
Perfume should only be faintly detectable by the person who gets close enough to hug you. Not the whole room.

Catch a snooze whenever you can and don’t worry about anything else.

Snails per se.. ie the large ones most people get are no longer a problem for me. I do have the smaller white snails but slaters do far more damage in my yard than any snail or slug.

blackbirds are shuffling the mulch around here at present and they are doing the most damage to young seedlings. i do have the little white snail, the medium size slug and rampant earwigs but none are a problem – probably because the snail pellets did their work a week ago.

rat traps with a bit of a strawberry or a tomato or a grape.. even a berry from a cotoneaster or privet,, yes.. rat traps work wonders for those plagued with blackbirds. put something red or black on the trap.
or
if you really want to be nasty try lifting the mulch and placing some ratsak under the mulch.
as the ad says, they go away to die.

too many little skinks to use mouse poison in the open. i’ve got 7 bait stations in the sheds trying to stop the rodent plague. generally i just plant too much and hope some survive. too many good birds to risk the rat trap and i presume the blackbirds are seeking earwigs.
thanks for the ideas – i might need them one day.

That’s an interesting approach RB. I’ve never heard of rat traps for blackbirds – or ratsack either. Next time I feel murderous towards them I will consider this. Thanks.

;) I’m not a fan of killing things but sometimes drastic measures need to be taken in instaces of feral outbreaks. My mother removed 17 blackbirds in one spring with the rat trap. However in my yard I discovered that the rat trap though occasionally catching the odd rat, may also kill your only banjo frog if left out all night. May also kill other birds if placed anywhere above the ground. This method is best done by setting early .. like around 4 AM and unsetting by 8 AM.. Do not leave overnight .. especially on moist nights. Mudlarks, magpies and other birds that walk around a lot, do not get caught by the fruit baited rat trap. One day, I cleaned up 9 blackbirds with an air rifle only to see a whole new crew arrive the next day attracted to peppercorn berries on a load of peppercorn rubbish I brought home to cut up for firewood.
I’ve never used the ratsak measure but i was informed of it by a cherry grower. So there are people out there who do such things. Another anecdotal comment from a gardening friend was: “blackbirds only seem to eat the insects you do want. They don’t seem to eat the insects you don’t want.”

Blackbirds also get trapped by netting or shadecloth. they’ll walk in under it.. then fly up when something startles them. This leaves them flying about agitadedly in the netted area. They don’t seem to be able to remember that they walked in.
I have also found this an effective way of bringing the blackbird into a situation where you may dispose of the pest.orchid40 said:

I wish I was dealing with snails. The grubs are munching everything that is growing here. I watched a common crow BF lay eggs all over my newly bought and newly potted deep red Dipladina yesterday. When it finally flew away I went and squished them all. I shall most likely have to do that every day till the cold weather gets here.

Yes I think this is something I need to come to terms with and just have a nanna nap when the elf has a poppy nap. I was nearly in tears when I got out the car this morning for sewing…I was so tired.
I got a hug from a beautiful lady and so I ended up crying at sewing. They are such a great support group for me.
I laid down (didn’t sleep) and watch some TV this afternoon. Then I went for a 20 min work out on the tread mill while Judge Judy was on. Elf laughed when he saw the portable TV in the gym room. Feel better for the work out too.
JimBob was over here this afternoon when I got home. So we didn’t get any of the plan stuff done, besides the sewing morning. Car goes back tonight. So its all foot walking anywhere now for the next 14 days. Jimbob hurt his back at work:( Off work for the rest of the week. He had lunch with us:D He ate my homemade bread too……:D:D
YAY got the sleeper. One so far, need another but first need to measure the sides. My car will take one at a time so I will get another tomorrow. I can start making the garlic bed in the morn.
Meanwhile, daughter #1 decided I needed a style makeover, ditch the jeans and t shirts and look more like a girl. I have one a long fitted shirtmaker blouse, top of the knee, and leggins on. Not bad. I don’t mind looking younger, really.
Gets me how she knows.
But I did manage to get away with some new skinny leg jeans :D

More drama with Mum has kept me absent the last few days. Last Friday she was transferred to Prince of Wales Hosp because her platelets level dropped to 0 and so I had to rush up to Sydney…so much for being home for a few days!
She has been given steroid treatment and her levels are slowly improving. They don’t know what caused the dramatic drop but they think that perhaps it was a reaction to the heparin she was given during the angioplasty a fortnight ago, but they can’t be sure. And to top things off she developed a severe chest infection; caught it off me :(
As well as the prednisone and her normal coctail of medication, she has been getting nebulised 4 times a day with ventolin and twice a day with pulmicort. She was a lot better today and the doctors are pleased with her progress. She has had daily blood counts and today the haematoligist said he was going to reduce the amount of prednisone and if her levels stablilise for 48 hours she will be able to go home. Fingers crossed that she will be able to go hom e because then maybe I will be able to go home as well. Since the end of Feb I have only been home for 6 days and I am starting to miss the little hovel!

sounds like your mum has had a rough time of it, and so have you. Hope this is the last of the problems and you both get to spend some time at home.

Morning all,
Just had a quick dash outside to see if the snails got my vegie seedlings last night. I forgot to put snailbait down :(
Phew! I got away with it! Snailbait is now applied :)Sunny here at the moment.
Snails per se.. ie the large ones most people get are no longer a problem for me. I do have the smaller white snails but slaters do far more damage in my yard than any snail or slug.
Grasshoppers are the mongrels this far north.

I’ve been flicking through Stephanie Alexander’s Kitchen Garden Companion, from the library. It looks great and I’d love to buy one but it’s $125. :)
I bought her earlier edition when it was cheaper, around $75.00, but it is missing a fair bit from the stripey edition. At that price, it had to be a Xmas gift.
good morning. cooler nights makes for better sleep :)

Morning to you too BG. Yes it’s beautiful at the moment.
No heating or cooling required, warm days and cool nights :D
I’ll be off shortly with a bunch of women going on an Op shop crawl.
I’ll be making a detour to a sheepskin place for some new ugg boots. Bigfoot Daughter #3 nicked mine to wear and stretched them.
The garlic planting bed awaits for when I get back ..
See yas.
Morning!
I’ve been for a walk around. The garlic vine is in full flower. Looks beautiful. Discovered what I think are baby Barlaria seedlings all over the place. Will have to do some reading on the subject.
I just had some of my rosella jam on toast for b’fast. Yum, it’s good.

the rainwater tank gets plumbed tomorrow – trenches dug and pump bought. i need sand to backfill and then an electrician to underground the power . takes time but i’m getting there.
HAHAHA I’ve just harvested all my potatoes! There’s enough there for one meal! I think I forgot to water them too often :( I will grow them in the bins again because it’s so easy, but I’ll put them where I won’t forget about them this time. I had put the bins way out of sight to keep them from the sun a bit. Now I can put them in their original home near the compost bays. Talking of which I turned the new compost heap today. Another one is almost ready to use. I was hoping to find a completely ready supply so that I could transfer it to the vegie bed and plant my garlic today. Plan B is to put the garlic in the same bed as the brassicas that I planted the other day.

Nice one orchid, my compost heap has entered stage 2… in that one end is ready for the vegie beds, and the greener end is a work in progress. The whole lot should be turned but it is raining today, maybe later. GF has pinched some of the good compost and incorporated that into a brand new vegie bed dug recently, tomorrow we shall buy corn and some more sugar cane mulch and start planting vegies. First bed is only 12sqm, but will prolly be the smallest of a planned 5 beds. Each bed will be circular, and the 5 will be linked with mosaic’d stepping stones set into the lawn. It is GFs way of keeping things pretty but functional. The beds will look pretty crazy once finished. There is prolly enough Compost for bed 2 but I find the new grass cuttings to the bed breakdown quicker if incorporated into a working compost heap; quicker than starting afresh. So plan is, get this bed up and running, and then the larger compost heap can be raided for bed 2.
Now if the fly and the resident possum become to much to handle, then circus tents will be erected in order to cover each circular bed….

Pretty but functional sounds like an excellent compromise, PM. You seem to have your compost making down to a fine art! A garden full of circus tents sounds interesting………………
Back, and arvo.
Guess what, my 6 crocus bulbs are flowering!
My own saffron, I’m just so stoked! Now that I know I can grow them , I intend to get a few more bulbs and give them their very own patch. One flower is about to open in a day or so, and I’ll take a pic when it does.
:D :D

I know Veg, I too grew up working with guys 20years or more older than I and it was a great way to learn some old school horticultural ways, but with my additional tertiary training, I got to learn some modern ways of thinking too. Win-win really and I am conversant in inches as well as millimetres.

Hopefully we won’t need the circus tents on all the crops… so I guess year one will be what attracts the Fly and what will the Possum eat? Currently the Possum is asleep on my airconditioner about 4 feet above my head.

Nar. Pretty flowers , but I have enough with the cactus, daisys, gerberas and bulb garden. Strangely though, a friend grows those poppies and keeps giving me little bags of the seed to grow. I might turf some about in spring, dunno.

Mr GA himself said it’s almost impossible to grow successfully, so when I do harvest the stuff I will email him with a photo and say NER NER NER!
I don’t do impossible.

Yes the offspring do have it rather loud, I feel…however my better ear is on the window side and the hopeless ear didn’t pick it up at all…so I thought the sound was coming from the outside…I live an “interesting” life at times…

Well here I am, up and atom…guess the rest of you are out watering, weeding, too early to mow, praising your seedlings for growing an inch overnight, or just sipping a tea/coffee and enjoying the view of your labours?

We shopped this morning. Got there before the s’market even opened to dodge the onslaught. So did a coupleof hundred other people. I wouldn’t have bothered but the family is coming for the 4 days. I fail to understand this shopping madness everytime the shops are going to be closed for 1 day.
Don’t like talking to myself so I’m gone now.
