So he went and bought thyme at the stupidmarket. Apparently I didn’t convey my meaning clearly… Littlefella is home after 4 nights at his dad’s, yay!!!

Been overcast, cold and rainy all day, perfect for watching movies. Finally got out of my PJ’s about half an hour ago, put on a fresh pair of jarmies. I refuse to get dressed properly.
Ms. B is going fishing this weekend, that means the north east coast will get hit by a cyclone, SEQ will rain for a week and the cool will finally hit the southern states. She really needs to go fishing more often.

Oh you’re no fun, of course PJs are appropriate! My friend and I used to dare each other to go out in our PJs. We went to the deli, the video store (a few times) and somewhat strangely, a concert. It’s ok, the band members were in PJ’s too and I was friends with the band members. Still keep in touch with one of them to this day. Must point out here, they were men’s flannelette PJ’s, nothing revealing, LOL!!
Must keep up appearances! When the kids have left home and I’m the wrong side of 60 I’ll chance it but, eh?

Bloody Brilliant!!! I’ll have to wait till I turn 50 to get a red hat though – have to wait till the red hair isn’t as strident, because a red hat will clash dreadfully ;)
I’ve always been envious of people who can wear red, and I’ve thought that could be one of the positive aspects of going grey/white.

Yup…l8tr…only one to get to school these days…he’s improved muchly as this year’s worn on…thanks to his big bro (Sonny Jim) who can boot him on da rear and Sonny Joe understands perfickly…so with 4 of us all singing the same refrain between 7 am and 8 am, he has decided discretion is the better part of valour and now he tries to fly under the radar…maybe my threat that if he misses the bus he will have to walk or ride to school helped??? it’s only 6 miles one way after all….(11 kms)…gone…

Still have an outhouse HP? Haven’t heard of those for a while.
Off to do some ironing…
Taking Elle Wuffles to hydrobath…going to look into a kennel for her, with floor, so we can lock her outside of a night…her current cage (that the guide dogs came in) is too small for full night-time use…she had a home bath yesterday and rolled in horse manure last night…couldn’t work out the fertilizer smell…her bedding is currently in the washing machine…Elle Wuffles is dismayed…
i second that…dogs after a bath like nothing better than to roll around in horsepoo. it’s a dog thing.

our childhood pet dog used to love to find dead chickens or rotten eggs from the neighbouring egg farm after a bath…

Strewth! $18.00 for a hydrobath…no more! she still smells of HP….and is locked in her cage for two hours after which I can put the tick and flea repellant (from one of those little tube jobbies) between her shoulderblades…if she rolls in the HP again, it’s a Sunlight Soap job next…

Why do dogs always do that after a bath? Finding a dead and decomposing toad sends them into a flurry of rolling and doing the snake thing on their bellies. Smells shocking!
Maybe.

Mine doesn’t.

morning folks
i was up at 5.30am too but just turned the old puter on.
my green manure crop hasn’t emerged – 50 sparrows were seen in the vicinity shortly after planting – they ate a lot of the barley seed – but not a single shoot has emerged and nothing can be that thorough – i will wait a bit longer.
looks like i’ll have to rescind what i said about the public hospital system – did they think Mr OC had walked in off the street?

Well, I finished my cup of coffee. Guess I should hit those floors while the caffeine is buzzing ;-)
You guys are even worse than Facebook. I can see I’m going to have to restrict myself to logging in just a couple of times a day, otherwise I’ll spend my every day off here! I already spend way too much time online.
Off to have another go at finishing some things started a few hours ago. :)
BRB getting the wood heater going.

I knitted it myself; it’s supposed be a beret shape, but is a tad small (or something, not quite sure, but it’s not right).
Then I’m going to check my seedlings; maybe find them some sun out of the wind; maybe just leave them in the plastic cover where they are. And then I’m going to do some sewing – my other passion in life.
Right. Had my forgotten cup of tea; pottered in the garden enough to get warm and work up a sweat. NOW, I’m going to go sew.

i might try and find a good four bin system sometime today – will let you know – cyas.

cya.

packing up to go home :)
bbl
lunch break.
later…going out to ignore my potato plants….
L8r from me.
later
going to stake some tomatoes…some have died…the basil does not like cold weather but it is the first time I have grown this through winter…sadly Elle Mutto dug up one of my herb beds…we have an electric dog-proof fence for her but we might need to relocate this…
Hope to catch up again later today…:)
Yes, I’m going too..Elle Wuffles has got the cats bailed up down the front paddock (she thinks)…she is a border collie X cattledog on very short legs…full body, bred to round-em-up type (we need new guinea fowls) but short legs…needs a 5 mile walk every day to keep her happy…the problem is finding a human who’ll take her…
all photos downloaded, off to look at them…
got to go and climb a slippery dirt road in the hills in my relatively new lancer.
bbl
may go and check the chickens.
Well I’m off, got some more sheets to wash and pot plants to water before I turn the mains off again…It took Sonny Jim a few days to find the pipe (wasn’t laid in a straight line for some reason) – by which time he was sick of crowbarring through the blacksoil – and now he has to widen the hole so he can mend the pipe…we just turn the mains on when I need to water…
Off to do some knitting as the cleaning lady has quit for the day. Still raining here in heavy showers and then the sun comes out again.
Got a few stargate DVDs to catch up on………much to the elf’s joy.
Stay green….

Not sure if I’ll be back or not tonight… kitchen is clean…. Startgate about to go on the DVD player… waiting to watch Hell Boy….. so I’ll do some knitting as well.

Will pop back in later today if I can.
Off out the back again, with camera this time.
Lunch and some shut-eye, then collect kiddiwinkles from school. Got a big afternoon planned – shopping, baking, moving bedroom furniture around.

Spring! ah, how well I remember all these “dead” trees coming to life at Armidale…nearly time to count the pennies for the annual season ticket at the local pool, here…
Off to reset the sprinkler, I have the rainwater on the pot plants and hopefully on the tomatoes later tonight…we think the mud from the floods earlier in the year may have left sludge at the outlet from the dam water storage tank…sounds reasonable ??? and this is why our house’s water pressure is so pathetic…
gone

Off to lodge greywater approval form at the council, then maybe get a hair cut and do some errands.
bbl
Elf’s new peak flow metre is digital and we are having problems clearing the 96 readings (as the machine is full)
So now were about to go to the SA Asthma foundation with our emails from the UK on the machine and get them to clear it.
Back when ever…then I’ll finish the oven off and it’ll be spanky clean….
Well I’m off for the time being, if I don’t get going now the “going” will get me…
Later, Pomolo and Lerkers…
Elle Mutto is back, looking sweet and innocent “what me run away when you want to go to town?”..sleeping the sleep of the utterly bored…so I’ll log off now…
Enjoy your spring day, y’all…
Well I’m off to buy my Grab It’s (one pkt with Magic Wand…as seen in Charmed?) (flicks fingers) nup, need the wand…
Hope to pick up my very expensive treadly…I backed over the back wheel which fell off the bike when it was on the back of the car… and take it home tonight too…
(Hello Happy Potter)….
Chow for now
:)
well I’m off…got an oven to warm up…we are having salmon with baked eggplant and zucch…I saw in the deli how the eggplant should be sliced…silly me I have been doing it wrong…will prolly use the last of the lovely basil that I preserved a la Mrs Pepe’s suggestion (thanks Pepe)…my only plant is slowly recovering from the cold nights…might have to ask Fashionasta Daughter if I can have the excess of her indestructible plant…
They’ll be at the front gate now…off to put the chips on and get the table ready…
A pleasant evening to you all if I don’t get back tonight…
:)
I must away , finish watering , and brekky is in the fernery again at 8am sharp. Then off to nursery re grey water stuff.
Ciao.
Don’t you just love Saturdays? so full of promise for the weekend…Off to give my new Grabbit a go…

Bbl , then pav to cook….
Gotta go, need to obtain meat for this evening and sometimes there’s nothing left after 16:00 hrs
Later all
I’m taking a break. Please don’t yak so much. I’d like to try and stay abreast of everything. I shall return later.
Going home: I’ve done heaps of tidying up…still have lots of files to sort but there was just too much stuff for the shredder so it is being recycled by a firm that chomps up confidential documents by the tonne …not sure what they’re recycled as…this is separate to the firm that recycles our ready-shredded paper…
Taking Elle Wuffles for a walk before I get summoned to prepare le dejeuner…
Well my goodness look at the time…we have a birdie in our bedroom tonight, one of those little finches with an owl face…bit of a wildlife area, our bedroom at the moment…altho’ MrD is exhausted and our offspring have been commenting on the snores which they can hear from the other wing…
Back into the garden :)
Off to peg out the laundry and walk Elle Wuffles…they are pre-watering for the cotton down the back so she is getting lots of swims in the channels/drains…
Sorry – just caught up but can’t stay – pavlovas look yummy! Sorry your birthday hasn’t been so good, Longy :) Great pic HP! :) Enjoyed your blog Lucky – as always! Bye now.
Off to iron work shirt and pack lunch etc etc. Gonna be a helluva day, there’s three of us who normally process payroll on Mondays for about 20 restaurants, staff anywhere from 6 to 30 each. The lady who’s been doing it the longest is having 2 weeks off, and I’m supervising a new person and someone who’s done it twice before. So I’m training two people (more or less) at the same time as almost doubling my workload. Not happy about it, but hey they pay me :(

Hello – again and sincere apologies to Grassy and Longy for suddenly disappearing this morning. Computer had a hiccough – I think it is nearly time for a new one…

my separated wife brought over her orchid last night. she said she had put in some plant “vitamins” but it still won’t flower. the orchid was swimming in water in the pot. i checked and confirmed that the pot had no drainage holes. the big strappy leaf is still green but, all the roots were completely rotten. fixed the problem by drilling a hole, cut of all the roots, and with a prayer it might grow some new ones. i still can’t understand how one would expect a plant to “flower” when it’s obviously swimming in water. some people just have black thumbs i guess.
Going to have early nana nap – having v severe sinusitis headaches and tabs I was finally driven to take are making me drowssy…A lot of smoke in the air not helping matters

BBL. I have to go and work out my new camera before tomorrow :)
that reminds me… better charge the battery and what is your new camera?
It’s a Fujifilm FinepixS5800. Very similar to the Olympus whose LCD screen has just died. Tomorrow I’m going to a photo workshop all about photographing flowers in your garden :):)
you may be able to give us some tips ;)

Hi Orchid40, a few things to look for, even though you got 10x optical zoom, your camera lacks a Image Stabiliser so when taking serious distance shots, try supporting the camera up against a solid object to avoid the camera shake. Try a tree trunk, a post of even a wall… it may look odd, but it will help. There are now a whole bunch of these style cameras on the market and one of their big selling points in the 10-18x optical zoom, good for bright light conditions and a steady hand.
The best tip for photography, is to get close to your subject, then take one step closer.

Thanks PM, you are the Photo Master!
There were some hints I found helpful this morning. Always take the highest quality picture, you can reduce it if necessary but if you take a low quality one you’re stuck with it.
On a bright sunny day if you want to take a pic of something in the shade you can use your flash.
If the subject of your photo isn’t in the middle of your picture, focus on it with the button halfway down and move to the middle of the scene to depress the button all the way.
Hope that’s understandable.
when you’re using a compact, setting the quality to max makes it much slower to take the picture. with digital slr it’s not much of an issue.
use the viewfinder on the camera instead of the lcd. the lcd drains the batteries quickly AND the arms are much more steady when close against the body, as when using the viewfinder.
until i read a good book on photography, i was always confused about ISO settings…and always used to shoot in highest ISO. this produced much grain. so when shooting without a flash, always use the lowest ISO that will produce a good enough speed so you don’t get blur. the rough speed you want when handholding up close (no zoom) is about 1/50 second. faster speeds required when using zoom.
the stabilizer features on compacts are not very useful, as the photos come out soft looking (lack contrast and sharpness.) this is because it’s implemented in software only. better cameras have stabilizer parts built into the lens (Nikon calls it VR,) and these truly allow a slower speed or further zoom whilst handholding without blur.

Arvo all ….
I have a Finepix S5600 and I lurved it too until it started flattening the batteries in no time at all. It now will totally flatten fully charged batteries in a nanosecond. It is totally unusable. :-(
BUT… OH went OS and bought a Panasonic Lumix 10x Optical Zoom Duty Free :-))
back out – about to plant out the annual statice – they are flowering but colours are insipid compared to those on the label – wishy washy is another description that comes to mind – although I think those plant labels are often more eye-catching colours than the real flowers.
me too…going back out, as the weather finally turned for the better.
had a day off work today. planted out pumpkin seedlings just before.
potato plants grew very quick, considering that i planted the seed spuds quite deep. all lush green and flowering already. love that shade of green.
toodle-loo
pizza is ready.
parsley is drying nicely, toast has been eaten….must be time for a cappuccino out the back…..
HI ho hi ho its out into the garden I go……..

hmm rather than talk to myself, there is plenty else to do.We are back on water restrictions so I am using my gravity-fed only tank hose to slowly water just essentials which mainly plants in pots.
Hot dry winds not helping much. BBL
Got a date with a new sock pattern called “Jaywalking”……. off to watch some TV as the elf is asleep resting…..so need to be quiet and NOT YELL!!!!! LOL oops lol;P

Well I’m off to strike a blow, as Grasshopper would say… I got up late @ 6:30…finally made Sonny Jim’s lunch the night before…MrD was shocked, but if he wasn’t so fussy I would probably make his lunch too…Sonny Jim is running around with a sparky for a weed’s work experience, organised by the apprenticeship training company…I don’t know how this works and another lad is coming down from up north to do the same next week…I guess the ‘prentice training co can file either a rev or a razz when the employer files a report on Sonny Jim…N E ways he is thoroughly enjoying himself…
a bit of liquid fert all round

Well since everyone else is disappearing…
I’ve finished my cuppa so it’s time to take a break from wedding planning and do some washing up and cleaning in the kitchen.
I was supposed to go out with OH this morning but piked as I wasn’t sure my stomach was up to it. Then after he left my stomach was fine.. so to stop myself feeling guilty I have to do some housework before he gets back!

I’m back too. What did you have for lunch? Anything exciting?
Been doing more mulching..also spraying some seasol and charlie carp. Nice and cool and calm at present..ideal. Finished mulching the silverbeet bed which also has some spring onions and lettuce as well as some new transplanted cabbage. Hopefully I put the mulch on thick enough this time. The lot I did in early December wasn’t thick enough and the weeds came through big time while I was away.

I thought I would be straight back after afternoon tea but I got side tracked.
I tried again but everything was moving so slowly, I couldn’t stand it. I am going to try again now but if I disappear you’ll know why.

You’ve got a point there Pomolo…that’s all I can think of, too…although, mind you, I’m only just starting to look around and realize the lack of home socialising …when the children were home we did a lot of incidental socialising at the sports functions..all over now…
Gotta go pack.

bai is an interesting word as I ain’t sure what it means, but it appears to add future tense depending on where you put it… example; “Mi go long Rabaul” or “I will go to Rabaul” as opposed to “Mi go long Rabaul na mi bai kam bak” or “I will go to Rabaul and then I will come back”…

G’day. It’s a horrible day here. Gale force WNW winds. Went outside for about 5 minutes and decide nah! Ain’t staying out in that. So instead am instead cleaning out cupboards….the plastics/tupperware at moment….maybe when I’ve finished I will be able to open the cupboard without everything falling out…..at least for a day or two…:)
Had a lovely day with my girls on Fri. My granddaughter is now at the giggling stage. Loves being bounced on the knee. Smiles most of the time. Gorgeous!

Speaking of which (rugged-up worms) would they be alright wrapped up in the blankets for 2 – 3 nights running? The night-time temps look like there going to hover in the 1-4C region again this week, and I need to go away for 2-3 days…I usually take the blankets off during the day….

How did I do that? (Looks for Lucky’s name on the keyboard…)

Nope, they’ll come back well. I’ve decided they may end up with pride of place on my front verandah. They do need repotting rather badly, but some nice new potting mix, a bigger pot, maybe a bit of a root trim, some Seasol and a haircut to remove the tatty bits and you wouldn’t recognise them in a week or two. :)

Had Breakfast at 1am (close engouh to midnight), then I have 2 Bits of fruit from home or the markets at 4am Lunch at 6am more fruit at 8am and then tea at Your lunch time :P and then just pick at food till i go to bed.
Ok I have a garden bed to compost (bagged stuff I bought last year so it should be ready-to-use) so I can plant out my little honions…I see where they recommend planting carrots beside the honions …MrD agrees that the carrots won’t amount to much at this time of the year but if it helps the onions what have I got to lose…
Off to the town office…dug over that bed for the onions…the magpies and other assorted avians are picking out the bugs or whatever…
time for the chook watch bbl.

5.34 miles…not including to and from the gate (400 metres each way) which I use for warm-up and cool-cown…a respectable distance…
I got to go take a break. Boy there has been lots of chat today. BS. That’s Back Soon. Not the other BS.

work the abs, glutes and a few others you’re not aware of (yet)….
Time to run the dawg…we have to use the “formed earth road”, upgraded during the winter and full of rocks…my usual track along the farmer’s road literally stopped my bike in it’s tracks with the black clay mud, last night…my walk was more of a clod hop but the fresh breeze helped it dry out quite well so the clods weren’t so big on the return walk…got stung in the face by a paper wasp when I took a pit stop in some scrub…they’ve got a thing for me paper wasps have, still got a big red welt where they got my upper hip on Saturday…

Morning tea…banking…
Better go brush my hair and wash my face and get ready!
BBL
Well after giggling all morn, I must be off. Going across town to pick up my mother of the bride dress and, unless I can gain a Pammy Anderson type 40 double d bust in four months LOL, get the top of it altered.
After that hubby is going to help me make a small penned area inside the big chooks pen for the mum chook and chicks, so they can see and get used to each other. But also netted so the chicks can’t get through into the main pen.
BBL
off for a pedal. Nice and Warm today :)
Visitors.
Back laters
Off to exercise the dog…
BBL…
Wurk calls…
Better stop filling up the left-hand side and do some work.. :D
Lunch…
Going to stop hogging the left-hand side again.. Just got back from my SECOND trip to the Post Office today (bloody pharmacy passport photos were deemed too shadowy!) so maybe now I can get some work done.. or at least have lunch!
Bolting…gonna run through WW looking for provisions…Sonny Joe is home and he eats like it’s all going to disappear tomorrow…

bluegreen said:
- daughter and her OH are coming over later. Off to bake a cake…
Why doesn’t that happen when I visit my folks? =/
Although usually when I get there I’m immediately dragged out to see a frog and whatever else dad has found in the garden.. fair enough I suppose :D
Have to check on the elf…doing the lights……
And i’m off to lunch.
Think I’ll take the dawg for a walk now, not much fun walking the break road if it’s muddy, in the dark…yesterday was my day “off” from exercise, so Sonny Joe walked her all of 1 mile but it was better than nothing…he’s discovered the ideal social hangout for a lad of 15 years…the local pool…hope he wears off some calories!
ooo visitors on their way …rushing off for a shower, bbl
this should put me mememe on top.
unfortunately its time to leave so cyas.
It’s going to be a very hot day today…the yard has freshened up considerably from that little hail storm of the other day…at least 20 points in my opinion…I think there’s more rain coming as the worms are bundled in squirming masses at the top of the farm, the meat ants slave from dawn to dusk, and the farmer down the back is working during the night (usually the most accurate sign of impending rain!)
Got to get dinner ready…stir fry and we all know what that means…chop chop chop…thankfully I started on the meat last night…

and an insider in the brewing industry told me that Crownies are actually just Carlton Draught but re-packaged. It is just the long-necked bottle and the gold label that makes it look fancy.

Eggs to deliver…then home for tea
I’m off to feed the hordes…the hams are on special at the moment so I bought half a one…it seems to have less fat than the normal hams…being a Premium smoked one…this purchase should help cut down on the Milo and loaves of bread depletion…

I started on a new job today. It was over 40, I was sitting in a car in the sun most of the day.
Drank 5litres but ran out 2 hours before I finished work.
Bloody hot.

Just under 35 at 7pm. At least the sun is down!

I came home at lunch time and shut the dog and myself in the bedroom with the air con on, but the whole office was sent home around 2pm, because all the offices were about 30c.

When I worked for the Dept of Veterans Affairs in the ’70s it had to get to 38 degrees before they’d send us home!
Tomorrow I have a full day.
Taking Buddy with me to sewing group for a few mins. Elf will bring Buddy home after show and tell. The lady who’s house we go to have 2 little girls under 4 years of age.
Also spending the day with my sister. Taking Deb for show and tell too;P She also is a quilter and knows the girls from the sewing forum:D
So its a very relaxing day….hope you all have a FABBER TABBER of a day as I know I will:)

I don’t think this was an official rule, just the manager using his discretion. It was actually OK as long as you sat in front of a fan (half of us have fans in our office because the air con is so unreliable). But the stillness of the air was yucky without a fan.
>Probably not a good time to tell you that it is 16.9 here at present.
It’s ok. when there was a heatwave over there last week I had to put a doona on..
Besides, I’ll be in Bali saturday. Life is good.
>Bloody hell! This is why I like office work :)
Well part of the reason I was hired was because I’m good at the admin side of my job. I was told this.
This’ll probably mean I’ll end up with an a/c too after I get back..
>When I worked for the Dept of Veterans Affairs in the ‘70s it had to get to 38 degrees before they’d send us home!
When I was an apprentice in the navy that happened.
I decided I’d go for a swim at Bondi.
Quakers Hill (Sinny area) to Bondi is 4 trains. They weren’t a/c. I was affected by the heat, passed out on the train.
By the time I got to Bondi Jcn it was windy and overcast. Bus down to the beach.
By then it was dark and cold!
Buggerme. I went for a swim anyway after about 3 hours on Sinny’s shameful transport system. Froze my tits off.

Thats just wrong! Work stops at 38C for (most) outdoor industry in Vic.. if not in an air cond’ vehicle.
Glad you’re ok.

I’m trying to swallow a new type of muesli. It’s difficult. Just what do they put in muesli these days? On second thoughts, how come they have the cheek to call it muesli? There are things in here that, at first glance, look like flattened small cockoach bodies. the dog has refused to touch any of it and that’s rare for her. Another pkt of cereal down the garbage chute

I have to experiment. It’s with a strong feeling of foreboding that I venture down the breakfast cereal aisle in smarket. Some cereals I can stand for a while but then I need a change. Unlike MrP who eats bix almost every day of his life. I couldn’t come at that or them. The only time he doesn’t have them is when we have B&E on the barby.
So I shall continue experimenting till the marmalade on toast yearning overtakes me again.

Yeah. It’s the $10 that hurts so much.
I have the same problem with Muesli. I’ll try a few and keep looking for something better, but eventually I get tired of that and go on the hunt again. At the moment I’m eating one from Aldi which has a kind of puffed rice base and a reasonable amount of dried fruit in amongst other things. It’s not $10 either!

Have you tried Bircher Muesli? MrBL makes a good one.
Soak rolled oats overnight in apple juice and then in the morning stir in natural yoghurt (jalna makes a good fat free one) grated apple and chopped raw nuts of your choice. Almonds and hazelnuts are good..

Now that Elf is having 2 insulin needles a day…. I’m getting meals on the table earlier for him. We now have to be regular in what time stuff goes in as well as when it comes out….So dishes are done earlier.
Putting my feet up and yep you guessed it….some hand sewing is needed to be done. A pot holder and a placemat.
Off for a wander…. bye.

While the Italian Food Lover’s Guide was very good last night, the first episode of Costa’s Garden Odyssey Series Two left me feeling let down… he needs to drop the “Backyard Blitz” segment for starters.
later..
got a party to organise :)
Anyway I have to take Mum to get the dressing on her leg changed and to report in to the doc following the surgery last Tues. She has also caught my bug…so hopefully he can give her something for that :(
Better shift off this seat or I’ll get a flat bum.
Got a cake to ice :)
Gotta go to shops for mum
Better go and clean the litter box out completely. Shame I have to go through the front door, away from the futon……. to get to the bin outside….lol
Well I’m off…never got to the pool and I have decided to row row row my boat at the gym instead…
Hope to catch the fisho on the way home: he’s expensive but the fish does not make us queasy…dunno what WWths does to it…
Ciao
Drinkies on the verandah time. Hooroo!
Dishwasher’s set, the indicator fell down so now we have to time the cycle by clock, and nobody else can use water while the dishwasher is running, as I think the filters might be needing a cleanout and the pressure is dropping…so I’ll take Elle Wuffles for her 5 mile run (I ride my bike, cheating I know) and then put the next lot of fruit cake (diabetic) on to bake and get dinner ready for tonight…
Clerking for the FIL today and need to catch the St Patrick’s bus to get to the track (next town over)….

Yes Trackside…just the southerns (Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide) and MrD sets and runs the locals book for him…I do payout but I have just remembered I only have one lens in my glasses…long story…so I might have to take the tissue off that side and just shut that eye…
It’s all computerised now… we were one of the first locals to go total computer books but we still take the “old” books with us…the ladies love it because they can have their $2 or $5 each way on the local races with a minimum of fuss…
off to get dinner ready now for when we get home tonight…

Fantastic, I do enjoy a meet at the country races.
much later. off to Heronswood :)
Things to do and places to go and see…………..later
back later, theres a dwarf valencia crying out to be planted, somewhere!
morning
cool here and the darkness is noticable in the mornings but still light enough to walk the dogs after 5pm. when do we lose DLS?
rain in the big state – at last. be careful of dem roads collie.
we went along the coastal towns yesterday. the biggest eyeopener was port gawler. you’d expect a town right? no town. just a road on a levee between mangroves and then a turning circle at the end where the wharf used to be. so a 6m deep tidal estuary lined with mangroves and a few fishermen. they reckon global warming means the road is now swamped at high tide.
there was a beautiful boardwalk at middle beach called the ‘samphire walk’ and thompsons beach has got expensive shacks. beaches of thick seaweed and a tide out so far you can barely see the water.
Might take Elle Wuffles for a walk…she is in disgrace…followed the car this AM and ended up chained to the front gate…too bad if a heavey shower came…
Home time.. no doubt if it does rain I will be screaming and dancing later in here later :)
bye for now…

This one is good plus it’s lower in fat than a lot.
1 cup polenta
1 cup plain flour
2 tablesp sugar
2 1/2 teasp baking powder
3/4 teasp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup butter or marg melted
Sift dry ingredients into bowl, mix wet ingredients together and add.
I line a square cake tin to save on buttering.
Bake at 204C for approx 20/25 min. Time varies depending on tin size so use the skewer test.

Sure is, Lucky :D
Ragamuffin, who has a job at a local tavern (the family -oriented one) says she gets compliments on how well MrD looks…
I “complained” the other night: he was “skinny”, which is something nobody has ever told him in his 54 years of life…ever…ever…so his comeback (he’s good with them!) was “well here you are, in your fifties with a new man in your life!”…
He’s tried and tried before, but this is the first time we’ve had good information for him to work with…

That, and knowing when looks/comments are OK and when they’re not.. such as in the workplace. Some people really need to learn that =/

Hay, the meat is bubbling away with all the other goodies and the chillies of course, so I have 2 hours to make the Cornbread.
The recipe here said Bake @ 204C for 20/25mins…? What the? Shouldn’t that really be 240C???

I am aware of that… but I have to go old school and just boil and boil and boil the beef.
Looking at this stage and the chillie is ever so nice.
Hey I managed to sift all the dry ingredients save a few grains of polenta, and it is all mixed and ina bowl and in the fridge waiting for the beef to go.
just over half hour before serving, the cornbread will get cooked, served with the beef con carne and beans and tortillas.

Every oven is a bit different anyway. If yours is fan forced you might want it a bit lower anyway.
Just improvise.

My chilli is very continental in the fact that I had quite a few alternative ingredients and it is always different, like tonight there are big chunks of field mushrooms in there, getting all soft and brown…. amongst others.

I tend to think the flavour of mushies would get a bit lost in chilli.
Mine doesn’t really have a recipe either.
I fry onion, and lots of whole cumin seeds (i prefer whole to powdered) and chilli, add grated carrot, zucchini. Cook down a bit and add mince till it changes colour.
As much tinned tom as looks right, a carton of chicken stock, tinned kidney beans, S+P and simmer the whole lot for a couple hours.
amounts are very flexable.

There’d be capsicum and olives and bacon and beef chunks and heaps of chillies in my carne, and the mushrooms hold together, they suck up some of the sauce and then when you bite into them, its like little pockets of mushroom sauce and all that carne flavour. They’re like sponges from Essex!

And my beans aren’t near the pot yet, the meat and veg has to be reduced until it is thickness, then the beans are added, juice and all and reduced for another session. Its all brutal. Killed my mates kidneys once, needed a transfusion the next day.

ROFLMAO… still some more stirring to do, the beef is looking great, the sauce is really chillie red and the smell is wonderful.
Just to thicken it up a touch and then the beans go in and the corn bread goes in the over at 204C.

I’m off, got to catch the fisho
Better take the cat’s playmate for a “get the bounce out of me” run…5 miles should do it and hopefully they aren’t spraying this morning…
Right, rolling up sleeves, got some gardening to do..

back to earning my $$$
Off to take Elle Wuffles for a run, she hasn’t been for a few days as I think I knocked myself out with the crowbarring on Sunday…took yesterday off exercise as I was just so tired…but feel better today…the chickens are in the oven (bought stuffed “organic” ones by mistake) so the ½ hour ride will time very well with their “sealing” before I turn the temp down…
gotta run or I’ll be late for a hair appt.
see yas
Obviously those of you not gainfully employed are enjoying either your Nanna Naps or Oprah, so I’ll head off and … gee, where do I start?

all caught up (Hello Pomolo) and off for my after-lunch nap…you know what they say: “after lunch, rest a while: after dinner, walk a mile”…
Off to do some errands…
I have to go and print out some recipes. Should be back on here after dinner.
pomolo said:

I have to make a start on this curry.
I’m off to sore ribbed friends house, hauling a big pot of slow cooked apricot chicken. Well hubby will be holding it on his lap.
This friend wasn’t keen to try my lavender ice-cream, said she couldn’t come at eating a flower with a strong scent. So now whilst she’s invalid, I have a victim to feed the ice-cream to hehe hahaa..taking it with me :) Back tonight.GTG, buy an UPS to prevent the router getting knocked out…interesting thing is, the tech told me not to plug the printer into the UPS…we’re spreaking of an HP Color LaserJet 2700n here…cheaper (and easier) to replace a $300 UPS than the $2500 printer…well that’s what it originally cost…
I might have to ring the local tech to check on power safety for the printer…
Well I’d better go, got fodder to purchase for the fertilizer unit (pony), plus there’s been an SOS for my UPS here at home…
Later, Happy Potter and N E Lurkers…
back later in the arvo
Why am I bludgeing, checking out this forum? Got 3 loads of laundry to peg out, 2 loads to bring in, dinner is a question mark but we may make the pizzas in the skillet, just like I used to about 10 years ago…the dam water is running (look at it go!) into the storage tank but I gleefully told MrD aka He Who Knows All…that the storage tank was only 1/3 full: this means the pipe repair might have to be done by him if Sonny Jim can’t do it before he heads back to work tomorrow (the tank has to fill, the yard pipes have to fill, then we can find the leak in the yard pipe…)
We’ve cleaned the mud out of the trough and the “pin” from the thing the float hangs off has been rescued…it will be taken for repairs tomorrow…we are wasting water with this trough as we don’t want to hang around while it fills then we forget to turn the tap off, meanwhile the water has overflowed and is maintaining a magnificent (NOT) stand of parthenium…
The Boyz are loading the trailer with the leucaena rubbish so I’ll go help them while MrD figures out how to remove the cute pink polish that attached itself to his toenails during his nap…Little Miss Naughty (aka Ragamuffin) lives up to her rep again… :D

She was coming down to Bris but i thought she’d be home by now.
I’m off, I’m packing to spend a week with Fashionista, there is an Orchid show this weekend that I hope to get to, and maybe meet a nice lady from TheE’s forum as she very kindly potted up Fashionista’s orchids that somebody sent as a thank you present (for having them stay at her house)…
Elle Wuffles is bathed, so is Jem (the newest cat)…I think Benevolent Despot Cat may be struggling with old age…but I want Jem neutered and recovered before making a decision about Benevolent Despot as the feline dynamics will surely change if she goes…

Pickling olives need a change of brine, and a million other things to do.
Well! time to put a load of laundry on…see if I can find the filter for the grey water pump (to keep the little stone pellets out of the expeller) otherwise I will have to take the pump to the irrigation shop and buy a new one…
Gotta go brush my hair and put the lippy and glad rags on for going out.

For a couple of years there, our family held the record for most late “stamps” (they just stamp the diaries”…the kids also have to fill out an excuse book…we even got a letter from the principal once…
Think I’d better go earn my keep…thanks to all for their advice and sympathy so far…
Talking to myself on the forum, waiting for my dress to dry so I can go out with friends…only brought one and have resisted calls to upgrade it…it’s only … like … seven years old…couldn’t wear it for 4 years (too fat) and it washes like a rag…doesn’t date…has a hole where the head of a match flew off and burnt it but I can embroider that over (as it’s getting bigger)…
OK, have to go and peg out some clothes and make like I’m civilized…babysitting Fashionista’s cat…it gets very lonely when no-one is home, unbelievable that cats get lonely isn’t it?
later..

Clothes to peg out…I don’t think my pastry-wrapped blade roast is going to work in the slow cooker: the pastry is not crisping up…might move it to the big fry pan “oven”…the fruit cakes come up OK in this…looks kinda weird but it cuts and tastes OK…
Got some clothes to peg out , ironing to do (3 shirts) and lunches to make for tomorrow…

This could be our be back later thread???Huh?
Okay all caught up, it is threatening to rain here, we have been up since 5:30am here, getting used to it with Sonny Jim’s early starts, you get more done with the early starts…the grey water pump has not managed to hold it’s pressure since the new gizmo (or is that a widget) was installed…it is a replacement for a cracked thingy which holds the filter before the grey water hits the expeller…can obtain a prime but then after 10 minutes there is nothing…hard to believe one little pump (centrifugal) can have so much go wrong…we (I) have also found where the leak is beside the house so it’s a matter of cutting back the prickly acacia and repairing the leak…will have to use the local laundromat in the meantime but hey it’s a locally owned business…

Kid wants my pc.. bbl

Right, time to start doing useful things. First stop, steam clean the car seats and try to rig up a cover on the backseat. Since the rain has started, muddy paw prints have been appearing…
food = good
Better get the monthly greywater maintenance done before it starts getting dark.
woops it’s later than I thought. Must get the pizza dough on.
That rotton show Master Chef is on and I just have to watch it. I hate it but I have to watch it. That should satisfy all of you.
Cooking little hungarian filled bikkies, Kifli. Fiddly and time consuming, but so worth it :)

going to take myself for walkies…
Maybe not…need to go fish’n’ and food gathering…
bought myself a couple of new items of winter clothing yesterday. $210 worth for $160, and should last me a couple of years…some of my clothes have been recycled by the young’uns and Mr D has been asking “shall I buy us some new flannelette shirts, and shall I also buy us some more singlets and Stubbies?”…I have ports full of clothes that are still good but I can’t fit into them…
The lady asked if I wanted a “loyalty” card and I said “well I hardly ever buy clothes so there’s no point”…chuffed as billy-o I am… the trousers have gone to have the hems taken up…
gone to feed the hordes…

off exploring.
We are just about to embark on a round the world trip to our local shop for the Sunday papers. Our normal access bridge is under repair and closed until the 4.6.10. Of course the 4th has been and gone and the bridge hasn’t reopened. I’ll see some country that I haven’t seen before so I’ll take the camera. Maybe we’d better pack some lunch as well. Pay up the RACQ membership. Check the tyre jack. Leave a will.
Hope to see you all again but I can’t guarantee it. LOL.
Have a great day Dinetta.

No, but I’ve heard a lot about it from people who have tried it. Apparently it’s exhausting and quite funny to watch – you need good coordination :)
And I am off, need to whip up a lunch sandwich in a hurry…
Dick Stain is on… I’ll be right back.

Done my bit, time to get Sonny Joe Up and Atom…he has an exam today…if he gets a high C or a B, I will pay for some driving lessons next term in the Patrol…just too nervous to let him drive to school at the moment…then the little smart aleck has a whole week off so I am thinking of jobs, starting with his room…climbing over his bed to get to the other side is not a pathway…
$Wurk$….got a lot of catch up to do..
Fashionasta and her grandad are on the home leg, probably airborne as I speak…he ended up in l’hopital there with kidney stones…once he was sorted (and stuck in hosipital) she toddled off and consumed a variety of cocktails by the beach…also shopped…she says our beaches are better and there’s far too many chainstores over there… (whoops, had typed chainsaws)…
Laying low, there is a strong south-westerly blowing, so I guess it’ll be s’mores for dessert tonight, I have a leg of lamb defrosting…if they’re small enough I might pot roast them in the pressure cooker…

Might go out and spread some budgie seed, yesterday’s potential green manure crop is now under that old curtain…I don’t want to keep the remaining seed, an opened box like that is a pain to store…don’t want to store it in a bottle either, easier to just spread the largesse for a week or so…

Got wet sheets to hang out and more sweaty sheets to wash.
I just want to pay tribute to my Mum.
Back in the early 70’s a sickness went through the small country town we lived in for a couple of years. Hospital was overflowing and the sick people had to stay home and the only doctor was doing house calls on those ones.
All 5 kids plus mum & dad were sick with it and all in bed. I can picture clearly mum in her purple dressing gown caring for us while sick herself.
I am struggling to feed us let alone preparing and feeding then cleaning up after 7 people. My mum is my hero .

Where one lot of crabs go, it is a very popular beach for walking, running etc, and I worry about the fact the sand on that beach seems more compacted than on other beaches…

despite how easy it is to make a sand castle, sand is really hard to compact, especially if it is only sand grains, water and air.

His flight was meant to leave at midday, they even sent a confirmation email this morning to remind him, but when he checked in they’d filled it with leftover passangers from yesterday. He didn’t get a flight until 4.00pm.

a roosting time fracas – big white rooster ‘disprin is on the outer – literally in the yard whilst the others are perching inside..
if my daughter was here she would cuddle him.
i rocked up in time to see him sneak past the perch and settle on top of a nest.
the alpha rooster was contemplating a blood curdling leap from the perch – but then decided that was a bit too heroic for this time of night.

A jiggly ovary cyst Pom. Just to throw another spanner in the works. It’s threatening to burst so it needs to come out. Both coming out actually because theres no point leaving me with the other one when it may go the same way, and I don’t need them anymore..
Hopefully I’ll make it to the operating table before that happens :/
Gotta go to the big smoke and do the tough stuff. We are going to spend some time with GS after the hearing and grab a bite in the city and go find a pretty park to walk through.

I’ll say. Time to say goodbye to them.
yay, lunch time.. bit slow at work at the moment :)

woohoo going home early, via the stoopidmarket Grrrrrr
excitement and anger, all in the one turn of phrase… I reckon a few years in a compound in Port Moresby would do you a world of good Thee; trips to the stoopidmarket there were not only a challenging adventure but a veritable social outing which on a Saturday inevitably ended up meaning lunch and then beers, it was a highlight of the week.
good times… good times….
I’m out of my Ma Kettle outfit into my mechanics overalls..something is up with the mans car and I haveta go have a look under it. Starter motor clicking..but it did turn over once so I think it’s a loose bolt.

OK, you’ve all toddled off…I’d love to be gardening, southwesterly and all, but this is a good chance to catch up on the office archiving, only Sonny Jim to feed and he’s easy-going…no space in the kitchen tho’, the washing up breeds exponentially I think…

check your battery voltage (if you can.) If your battery is low you get a clicking sound from your starter motor trying to turn over.

He’s happy again.. but I didn’t fix the prob. It was a loose bolt under the starter motor and hard to reach. It’d had a decent whack from hitting a rock or driving over a gutter.. the bolt was off centre so it’ll have to wait for monday to go to the car shop. Plus we don’t have ramps and you don’t ever get under a jacked up car. He can take my car to work.
That ability was the result of being stranded in the bluddy outback in the middle of nowhere with absent parents with a life or death situation on my young shoulders, and I wasn’t going to stand there like a girl crying I can’t do anything…
No one dies on my watch!

Ai ai ai Veg, when it comes to a machine making your bread, follow the destructions to the letter. A machine won’t stop and say “Hey, I think this one is too moist….”

Thanks Anne, it went really well :) Test results not quite so good – still mildly vitamin D deficient =/ I was hoping I’d fixed that up with extra sunshine, I’m not too keen on taking any more tablets at this stage.
gotta do the xmas cake..clear the table and benches and shoo the distractions out to the tv room. (hubby and grandson)
bbl.
Off to pick up grilling meats and salad makings…before some more rain comes and I have to walk up the driveway again…

getting free stuff from John Deere is pretty tough I have found… what model ride-on have you ordered? I’m thinking of just buying a 100 series of something like that.

Mmm, a $6.5mill track under water for weeks, every facility (even the high set ones) just about submerged…it’s a sorry story…this was getting a deserved reputation as a desirable track to race on … the RJC has been steadily improving the facilities over the past 5 years for the benefit of all stake holders and it’s a shame to see this work devastated by the force of nature that the Fitzroy River is at the moment…
Off to the paid activity…
Highway’s open again, so it looks like I am off to town after all. Cya
Need a nap been up since 2:45am.
Can’t just do 2 jobs today really one, if you can count cleaning the mower in with mowing.
Breaky, then time to let some chooks out and have a look around the veggie patch.

Heading into town to see if The Truck came in this morning…only WW is open, it had 6” of water and damage was only cosmetic…Coles had 1 metre and the electrics are suss…no milk, meat, bread or fresh veg anywhere at 18:30 last night…but some prepackaged tomatoes and a cucumber at IGA I think…so Mr D grabbed some frozen veg from somewhere…there is also FoodWorks but they were cleaned out as well…

I was lucky, I went to the local IGA…they have avocadoes and fruit only left, and some bananananas…I picked up a couple of bottles of milk (luckily the Sonny Jim and Pebbles froze the milk at home when they came back last week, so it’s still good), some ice cream (not necessary but good for the morale), and toilet paper
No lettuce to be had anywhere, and WW had no milk this morning…they have security at the entrances of the Coles complex car park , I can see a large industrial bin full of clothes…you can’t get in to the car park…
MIght have to get my packet of alfalfalfalfalfa growing, just for the salad greens…what else is quick’n‘easy, pops up and harvestable within a week? or two?

mustard seed, chickpeas, beans like mung, barley, buckwheat, cress, even corn and broccoli so long as the seed is not treated. fenugreek, lentils, millet, peas, pumpkin, rice, sesame, soybeans, sunflowers, rye – as well as veges like cabbage, turnips, bok choy.often sprout well.
flour is probably useful as biscuits, pancakes etc.

Work is hitting the fan … bbl … lovely to be busy again.
Off to pick up my expensive cat…might take a look at the seedlings at Mitre 10…if they’ve got any…
Off to source some provisions…
I’m off…finally wrapped my head around the public holiday…got up “early” (6:15) (actually this was a sleep-in, should have been up at 5:30) to make Sonny Jim’s lunch for work and he very kindly showed me the calendar…Australia Day, Mum…then we both remembered he would get paid for the public holiday and he has gone back to bed, beaming…
However, I want my whippersnipper refuelled and also my chainsaw…the mowing now belongs to Sonny Joe…
I really must go, strike a blow…
Off to dump the compost, it’s been stewing in the kitchen bucket since just before we left at Christmas…and on the way I’ll check the bed that I have earmarked for the lettuce…again…

We barely made it up the driveway last night, it was so slippery…hopefully it dried out a bit last night…so I will take the opportunity to head into town and see if I can pick up some tomato plants…should I take a “minder” to help me resist temptation?
I’ve got the tribe turning up shortly to help me clean up the patio :D The leaves and flood debris on it would make another compost heap.
It wasn’t a good year to try and establish an almond tree. Again it’s shed most of it’s leaf. But it’s ok it’ll live, just a setback.

Ragamuffin comes home tonight…all the way from South Western Vic, where their maximums don’t even reach our minimums, and the temps can vary by as much as 4C per day…
She wants home time before starting Uni…

Have a coffee for me too Dinatta! I must away to attack the new manure pile :D
Hooroo
Hooroo back at you…enjoy your manure pile (only something one gardener would say to another, lol!)
breaky time them its time to go shopping.
I’m hoping that the Mitre10 will sell me some pond weed, I need it for the trough because that’s growing algae…I think it means the water is flowing clear…
Also hope to buy Sonny Joe some LEATHER footy boots… I am not happy with his lime green patent leather boots… but they were handy for finding him on the field…

might do the washing up and see if I am up to a bit of vacuuming.
Just spent most of my lunch break catching up.
Didn’t turn the computer on all weekend. Settled Older Son into college on Saturday, did sweet nothing yesterday, other than basic cooking, cleaning, eating and oh, yes, read another really good book :)
Must go get food now though! I might fade away otherwise :P
bbl
Car to wash and then have to head out for the arvo, Got a Sagala Swimming Canaval down in Swansea (past Newcastle), Most local Sagala Groups and a few out of our Local area will be down, So its a good time to catch up with Mates I make on camps.
Well, made it to the top. Will pop in from time to time. Another Monday… sigh :(
need to do a bit of tidying up for my visitors.
several thing todo bbl.
Din dins.
hungry…

Right, that’s probably all the resting time I can justify. Still have to tidy half the house and put the bins out, and then I need to get cracking and do some work, because of this stupid unrealistic deadline I have coming up :(
ok – had my break.
– do the dishes and then fork out the raspberries and plant more sweet peas. cyas.BBL.
gone to rip out more yuccas and raspberries.
Might be an idea to do some more work, had my second go of using the washing Machine, think I’ll stick to real toys and Machines out in the shed, and paddocks.

Maaate, the washing machine is dead easy… and if you manage to master it, you’ll go further in life then Jonathon Thurston. I saw him the other day taking a bag of gear to the local laundromat for them to launder. Obviously his Mum is out of town at the mo’???

You havent missed a thing. I don’t buy them. There’s a box of womens mags doing the ‘rounds’ of freecycle. When you get them, have a read and write down recipes then pass it on again. Quite a few people add to the box.

I’ve got a huge stash of GA mags that are just collecting dust. They’re bound for either ebay or a garage sale when I get around to it.
SubTropical Gardening suits me much better.

Since I’ve got some momentum going and it’s still light.. gonna go and sweep the paving steppers.
I better go and get ready for Legion. A bloke from the Hunter Valley Police radio is coming to talk tonight, the boys don’t know that yet so its a bit of a surprise for them. So I better be Extra well Behaved, and Must not talk about being able to find them on a few UHF’s I’ve used.

We are borrowing Sonny Jim’s work ute to go into town, it’s a bit hot for pedalling although I’ve no doubt there’s cyclists on the return trip to Tieri as I type…Scrappy is looking so pleadingly at me, Dipstick just stares, they need biscuits…
We also need milk and eggs…
Apparently the work ute does not have “extractors” and this could result in a fine if detected…

No, it’s a work vehicle after all…however I think it sounds like a propellor enginged aeroplane and Sonny Joe reckons “a mower”…we managed to get in and out of town without attracting the attention of any law enforcers…

Off to madly throw on some seamungus and fork it in before it gets dark…
Shower..if I can get there LOL
Dinner!
Got some lads to get going…Sonny Jim did OK in his tests last week, 90%…his boss was happy with this and rang him to tell him so (they can check on the internet)…the ‘prentices are chafing to go back to work but they have two more weeks of TAFE…Sonny Jim is looking a lot healthier now that (a) his trips to the food shops are limited and (b) he’s not getting to work at 6 am…TAFE starts at 8…He’s thoroughly enjoying meeting all the other ‘prentices from around the district…and the stories they tell!
need a break. coming up in my Day Trip to Marysville: Bruno and his amazing Art and Sculpture Garden.
HOme time…
Scanning to do, takes nearly all the RAM…
There’s a Lawn to mow and a beer to drink, and some seedlings to plant out.
the vacuuming is not doing itself…
bluegreen said:

Well, the loos are clean, the clothes are on the line, a lovely lunch was cooked. (I have the day off and am skint so am not allowed off the premises, lol!)
But as at your house BG the vacuum ain’t self-propelling.
Neither is the lawn mowing itself, the dishes washing themselves or the mop throwing itself around the freshly vacuumed floors.
But I have made phone calls to family and had an especially lovely chat with my sister in Qld.
Off for my newly minted Saturday morning ritual – garage sales and open houses. 2 garage sales, 3 open houses this week so maybe not the huge social occasion that last Saturday was! Took me 3 hours to do the rounds because I kept finding people to chat to, then was invited for a cuppa later in the arvo.
Littlefella and his mates are descending on a friend’s house later, so mum’s taxi has been booked.
And (if it isn’t raining) in a couple of weeks’ time we’re planning on stealing his best mate for a couple of days when we go to visit my sister in Palm Beach (Qld).
I love being busy :)

I have to go and check out the butternut pumpkins. Apparently something has been having a chew on them. l8r.
Back to work I go, Better clean my room before dad gets home getting a new bed today. and got to see if we have any more oats in the shed to force moult these birds.

Home time. Work has been slow with the boss away at a conference most of last week then out on Monday as well. He just said he’s going to be out for half of tomorrow as well. Management stuff. So no point turning on the computer at home tonight when I’ll need something to do in between twiddling my thumbs at work tomorrow.

Time to put the feet up for 5
Dinner to check on, didn’t manage to mow the front yard after all, but Sonny Joe has done some of the back and under the clothesline…so we are eating inside tonight…
Home time! :)
Back to pegging out clothes, folding, cleaning the kitchen cupboards…I think I have cockroaches…will have to see if I have any “hotels” for them to eat at…

We have cockies too. All of a sudden they have begun to appear. Apparently the pest man charges $200 now to do you house. Gosh, It’s only been a year. We think we might try pest bombs this time. We paid a fortune last year to have ants, cockroaches and spiders done and it only worked for Cockroaches. They wouldn’t guarantee for spiders either. Such a waste of money.

The “hotels” work quite well, and they seem to last…I don’t mind the big fellers but when their babies come out, I know they’re entrenched. Can’t really have pest control, it makes me ill, so I just vacuum the spiders and sweep the ceilings/walls…

Ok, it’s a cardboard board for sewers ( and probably quilters), where you can lay it out on a table, the floor or your bed, and piece out your material on it…you stick the pins straight in, rather than horizontally through the material…it comes marked out in centimetres, and has scallops and curved lines as well…you can fold it up like an accordion for storage, it’s about 2 metres by 2 metres which is why it’s difficult to store, even folded up…I’ve had it on the back of my sewing table…
The board means you can lay out your material and mark it without damaging your good dining table or getting your pins stuck in the carpet…and if you’re hopeless like me, you can fold it up with everything still stuck, for another time…I first came across it through KnitWit…
Off to round up Sonny Joe to mow where the plumber’s going to bring in the bottles…can’t have those bottles running over my snakes…

It’s cloudy, possible showers, so I’ll take Elle Wuffles and my pedometer for a walk…
time to go and get this Orotho Appointment out of the way, was only home for not even a hour.
Have all but run out of internet credit on the wireless modem at home so am only checking in while at work. Busy yesty so didn’t get to anything personal like checking the forum. Caught up today, though, and just spent lunch break reading up to date :)
Back another day with luck.

Heads-up that I might go missing for a week or two, don’t panic ;)
Mr Y “rebuilt” my (antique?) laptop and brought it back to me yesterday. I can’t make it do anything. So I’m not sure what the advantage was. It had managed to disappear all my documents (including all my photos – but I had backed them up until 18 months ago onto CDs so not as huge a tragedy as it could’ve been). I own the discs for Office 2003 but this morning froze the computer trying to locate Excel so I could look at my budget spreadsheet (saved to a USB drive).
I think a new computer might be the go. But hard to justify the expense, sadly.
So because the forum is painful to read on the touchphone, I’m not sure if I’ll keep up while I’m on leave for the next 11 days.
Should be dropping in here today though, the boss is out of town this afternoon ;) … depending on what the mail brings in and clients ringing up etc, which could be bedlam or nothing!

RightO Yeehah. May or may not hear from you for a few days. Have fun for 11 days.
Might make a corned beef sandwich for lunch, with lots of beetroot…haven’t had one for ages…cooked a piece of brisket in the old Bistro Cooker (one of the “original” slow cookers???) and whoops I forgot about it until Sonny Joe lifted the lid and assured me it was “perfect” (almost soup!!)…I’m going to need a very sharp knife to carve it with anyhow…I take all the fat off and there’s not much left of these briskets but they do help with the boys’ sandwiches…

I seem to have entered half the posts on the LHS…time I got moooooving…need to take a trailerload of prunings to the green dump, and make some more mulch with fiddlewood trimmings…
Where’s Longy when you need to ask something? I suspect the blades on the Greenfield need sharpening…

Luckily local honey can be purchased here…at a $price$ …but it doesn’t stay on the shelves long enough to make a dust circle…

Dad and myself sell it for $10 per 1kg bucket. Been selling some at work as well.

I think that’s what I paid, about 2 years ago…the recent, very extended, wet season might knock production back for a bit but I expect the trees will bloom prolifically this coming spring…

In answer but I’m not Longy. D is constantly telling me that our blades need sharpening. We have a Greenfield too. So it’s probably true of yours as well.

That’s could be true too Veg but us average people forget what real honey tastes like.
Must go and make a start. Short week coming up and then the Easter tribe arive. Sometimes I wonder why I look foreward to seeing them, so much.

Yep, when we first bought it I think the boyz threw everything at it, just to see what it could do…no wonder they call them Boys Toys…including dead wood and stuff that was really too big…then late last year I read the label on the machine (thought the boys had already done this)…Will have to get MrD to consult with the Mowing Shed man when he finally goes to pick up my chainsaw…

Lunch, seeing as I didn’t manage morning tea until 12 noon…
Soon I think.
Now I’m going to try Home + made + Ice + cream + recipes + eggless. Back later on.
Time to go and read. 6am starts the rest of this week, gotta love a sleep in.
Starving, must be dinner time…

Bleeding wet here, too…after our 100ml in the morning on Monday…the horses’ hooves are leaving imprints in our yard…over in Britain I believe there’s birds which nest in horse/cow hoof imprints…but I digress…
Well! I’ve chased you all away, obviously…
My meatballs have been made and labelled and are freezing as we speak (sounds cruel somehow)…they are crumbly because I put too much carrott in them, but if I drop them in the slow cooker frozen, they should hold their shape…otherwise does anybody have a tip?

I can’t think of any way to save them. Wouldn’t it have been easier to scrunch them down again put some egg through them.

No, I should have reduced the carrot (and frozen it) when I had the chance…it’s all those hard little edges that are causing the break-up…

In my garden broccoli is a semi-permanent fixture. I never kill a plant unless it is really tired. Most plants live for at least three years often five. Grown from self sown seed, cuttings off good parents plus the odd punnet bought in.
Yes, I did say grown from cuttings.

Wow, talk about green fingers…magical more like it…reminds me of Culpeper who assured us that sweet potato “could be grown from a scraping, really”… I tried this and the ants were most grateful for the feast…
off to church :)
Gotta go stick my head in a cupboard and the fridge, looking for inspiration…
Time to take Elle Wuffles for my morning “cardio”…she’s almost sitting on my foot…
…gtg, peg out the clothes whilst the autumn chill is blowing…amazing how the dew rises just as the wind drops, on sunset…
later.
off to enjoy my Mad-Day Holiday.
Brekky.
Taking my “Putana” for a walk…it helps me work out what’s for dinner…
Need some things from down the street. BBL
Off to the office (again)…dratted dawg followed me and wouldn’t come home so I have eaten my lunch at home and she is locked out the back…she knows when I say “You can’t come little dog” that she can’t come…but apparently the urge to run beside me whilst I cycle is difficult to overcome…
Later. Gotta head off for the hour shower/ get dressed, with the clothes the right way out. It’s a riot lol.
heading off for Melbourne. see yas!
Well I’m off, got some laundry to do for the working week tomorrow, altho’ Sonny Jim will be doing TAFE for the next 4 weeks…yay!
Soon. Don’t fret.
Cleaning plate glass doors so I can hang the lounge room curtains for the winter. Will be lerk’n’
Off to locate MrD’s good wool jumper, and to put a second blanket on the bed…
Took a “hottie” to bed with me last night, it has it’s own jumper and is one of my most useful winter articles…
got a stack of washing up to do…

Sorry, mustn’t have mentioned it on this forum…Spalding men’s tracksuit duds, the ones with elasticised ankle cuffs, $39 at Country Target here… 3rd store I tried, it’s way out to whoop whoop near the Greyhound depot, waiting for Coles to finish refurbishing after the Floods.

Well I was just showing off the trackies to somebody, and found that they don’t have that thin cotton knit lining, they have the mesh lining that you find in men’s swimming shorts. The opinion was that they won’t keep me warm…so I’m not sure now…will get whichever boy nicked my previous trackie duds to trot them out and I will compare outers…
Warm enough for the walk…just the usual 2 miles the round trip…did I say they’ve conscripted my stretching station into it’s second job as a cotton module bin? Dang, now I have to use the power pole…

Not quite, Pomolo LOL! Will be going in 5 mins as it was just a bit too cool when I posted before. Also went back to Target Country and explained that I was misled about the tracksuit pants. MrD said they would be warm, so when I went back I asked, because I was misled, if I could pick up the second pair for half price as advertised. They said OK. Was tempted to pick up a beanie and matching scarf, same deal. Will have to think about this.
Off, before the day cools too much…
time to put the chooks and ducks to bed…
I’m off, got a curtain rung to clean so I can keep the lounge room warmer of a night, and the morning sun off the carpet and furniture. Then it’s the study’s turn, and that’s the end of the curtains in the living area THANK GOODNESS!
I’m off to enjoy Townsville the Blue. Well the skies are… its that perfect time of year.
Off for the dog’s walk, I know it’s late… :(

Was up the ladder cleaning the screen (because it’s been just about bolted to the window frame, can’t get it out)…stepped over to the window sill, missed the darn thing, overbalanced, put my hand up to take the fall on the window pane frame, the heel of my hand landed on the glass (not enough hand on the frame)…sheesh…so today I clean up that corner so“s I can take the window (it’s a slider) and to the glass man…I don’t want shards of glass ending up unnoticed in stuff…want to lay some newspaper on the carpet to catch the shards…

Got a salad to make for lunch…
Taking Puta for another walk cos I missed out yesterday…
Clothes to peg out…MrD is hopeful of rains “to settle the driveway” as we have had earthworks and the finer stuff needs to settle before we will drive on it…
Off to…do something…in the laundry perhaps…then there’s dishes to wash, dog to be walked (again). dinner to prepare, oh yes and kitchen floor to wash because I knocked over a bottle of olyve oyl…amazing how far the glass went…have an old towel where the worst of the oyl was because even tho’ I wiped it with a LOT of (clean) toilet paper and then went over it with an old nappy with lots of detergent, I nearly went for a slide and am too old for that…
Off to feed adolescent male kitten… biscuits out all day and I know for a fact he stole a mouse off Big Grey Cat…
Gotta strike a blow..or something…
Been here too long, off to peg out clothes and wash another wall…
back later.
off to a CWA craft day to see how rusty my hand sewing is!!
Me too! Lot’s to do..
Gotta go feed mouthes, and take water and food to mumchook and take the blanket off her cage. And check if the fernery shadecloth cover is intact and strong, from cats.
I better go too. Pesto waits for no man.
Gotta make the most of the day…see youse later…

Winter doesn’t really start here until July…that’s the minus temps time…and starts to fade away again come mid-August…
Right, iced coffee finished. Back out into the sunshine!
Off to bring in the clothes before the dew starts to rise…in summer I’d not peg them out until after 14:00, or until the sun was over the yard arm (OK past the fiddlewood!) but these days it’s have them pegged out by 14:00 or they won’t dry… :P

Ooh, thanks for reminding me! Mine’s been in and out and in and out on the rack for a few days now, and it’s just about dry I think, thanks to the glorious sun this morning. Have to get it in now though as there’s a storm forecast for tonight!!

Altho’ I have just realized that after this doona is dry (not urgent, owner not home) I will be able to tack the loose binding into place, ready for sewing…buggardammit the one and only needle for the old Singer, broke on me this afternoon…so I’ll get the repairs set up ready for the new needle (which I sincerely hope the sewing machine man has in his shop)…
My point is, before I digressed, it’s easier to set up the repairs on this doona whilst it’s on the line, as opposed to trying to do them whilst it’s flat on the bed or similar…
That’d be right, I log on, ewes all log off…
Need to head into town, buy some greens for dinner tonight…
talking about being out in the sunshine….
Later.. after I’m sheep shorn..

Just back in to say that I’m doing an HP and cooking up a storm. Off to daughters place on Saturday and need to fill her freezer. We will be away for the week so if we want anything to eat we had better bring it with us. No no, that’s not true but it sounds good. As a matter of fact they eat very well there but it’s all “no fat” “low fat” “lite” (and lite isn’t spelt like that anyway which also irks me) sugarless or unpalatable. They never have cake or biscuits in the house so I fill that gap every time we go down there. Mistake! They do have tiny teddies and arrowroot biscuits but strangely enough they don’t tantalise my tsste budThey will probably live a longer life than D and I but will they enjoy it?
Got a meeting, bbl.
coffee followed by more onion weeding –
you’ll be glad to know that i’m not planting lettuces and spinach by the oleanders – nor by any poisonous gum tree either…
Back to work :)

Anyway, back to what I was actually planning on doing.. collecting fruit. Although I think I’m just about read to fall over =/ Might manage another half hour.

There’s left over stew, bacon, eggs, avo, cheese, toms and bread. They can do whatever they want with it.
Taking Elle Wuffles and Ferty for their morning walk…we have been slack because of circumstances…

Waiting for Landline to come on tv, came in early.
got a million things to do.
Got some woofs to feed and walk…I need the walk more than they do, to tell the truth!
MIght have to shut my bedroom door, don’t really want to sleep with fur kids tonight…
off to get our birds back.
Made it to the top – back to work!
Need to get a crackle on for the day…MrD has informed me that he’s taking his Dad’s place on a fishing trip early next week…I’m pushing him out the door, the few days on the sea with good company will do him a world of good…

Not to mention a few days without him, for you. lol.
Alright! Back to the kitchen. I can smell the spring rolls are done. Did them in the oven because visiting family won’t let fat or oil pass their lips.

I have been given a Chopin Liszt, have been cleaning up and nothing to show for it so Sonny Joe is Head Chef tonight…dawgs have been bathed, the Kelpie does not like this but I think she will come around…
That was quick, just need to take a couple of cartons out to the archive shed before completely dark…
Sonny Joe is cooking dinner tonight…his interview was successful the other day (with the ADF, which I thought was Armed Defence Forces but it’s Australian Defence Forces…another steep learning curve coming up) and they are going to fly him up later in the year for some more whatever…his school results are dismal but they weren’t put off by them (drat), and in his tests he’s suitable to choose his own career, pretty much…they were keen to persuade him to look beyond the Gap Year he just wants at the moment, but he wants to keep his options open…two other students from his school have gone for interviews as well, both are girls.

interesting story. Several years ago, the PNGDF had around 20,000 soldiers in their deployment, and they were a bit wayward in their setup. So the ADF offered to do some mentoring/training and help organise the disheveled bunch. Agreements were set in place. Round the same time, the Australian government had some ADF personnel in Indonesia and created a soldier training program with the TNI to help train Indonesian soldiers.
The two projects were chalk and cheese, but the essence was that the ADF could keep a very close eye on our neighbours.
The Indonesian project was worth millions of dollars and would train combat to the troops. The PNG project was worth a motza but would re-organise the PNGDF.
The killer? The PNGDF had around 6,000 ghosts in their ranks. Men and women who were claiming more then one salary from the paymaster, including high ranking officers, so the ADF culled 6,000 soldiers overnight. So in reality the PNGDF was 14,000 staff before the ADF and was 14,000 staff after the cull, but the PNG media described the events as such: “ADF sack 6,000 members of the PNGDF” and the next days headlines “ADF train TNI troops how to fight to the sum of PGK600million”.
The PNG people were a little concerned. They see Indonesia as a threat and they thought the Australians were there friends.
This is how I saw it, and how I heard of the anti-Australian sentiment that spread through the PNG cities of Moresby and Lae. Alexander Downer was not well liked in that country.
There were a lot in Australia who didn’t like Alexander Downer as well.

Obviously the ADF needs to upskill it’s public relations department…I thought the ADF role in Indo was as a peace keeping force, or is that just East Timor?

it is. In Timor leste but they do have diplomatic interests in Indonesia including a hands-on exchange program with both the TNI and the PNGDF.

Have just read an article in The Drum (on the ABC Online website) and it says the public relations / media dept of the ADF, is “huge”… overly bureaucratic and not enough hands-on?

‘spose I better do the washing up….
Off to curtail the current breeding programme of dirty dishes in my kitchen…
In a mini. Not literally.
Off to check the dinner…fainting from hunger here…
off to buy a couple of fruit trees with my birthday money. Thinking a cherry and an apricot. Maybe something else as well.
Pegging out time, thankfully the weather is cool enough the clothes have not gone smelly…
4C on the bedroom windowsill this morning, 3C out at the aerodrome (where the weather station is)…my new definition of cold: when inside the fridge is warmer than the room it’s in…
1.5C up in Clermont…gets chilly in them thar hills…

No…the idea never occurred but would you really save power? I’ve turned the fridges off to check the speed of the power meter and the fridges generally don’t make a difference…unlike the washing machine and dryer and the pressure pumps…

Bush fire, Happy Potter, bush fire…no, we’re not that closely settled…I think it was following a creek out of town and has couple hundred acres of nice green wheat seedlings on either side of it…thankfully there was hardly any, or no, wind…
Got to think of something to do, plenty to do but along the lines of where do I start? There is no water to the house so if it’s yellow, let it mellow…the pump is at the plumber’s but if he can’t attend to it today it will come home for the night, dear little think, and back it goes to plumber tomorrow…took it to one plumbing firm but they are too busy for this emergency…nice to think the tradies are run off their feet…
Have bathed Ferty, who is moulting, and Elle Wuffles won’t come when called, so will take them for a walk as Ferty has a thick winter coat common to kelpies, I believe, and will take all day to dry otherwise…
me too, I’m gone.

Food. Housework. Et al.
(Laptop’s being painful, back on the phone …)
Hooray, caught up! some” marvellesio photos” being posted…they sure add something to a forum, they do…
Found a “family” of cane toads under a bin lid in the front garden, two biggies and 3 littlies, all of which are now dozily chilling in the top of the outside fridge…

I’ve given up trying to do that….if I spend time reading everything I’ve missed over the last couple of months, I’ll never get to post or worse still, get into the garden! Not that I’ll get into the garden much at all over the next few weeks…weekends all taken up with Girl Guides and family stuff and weekday’s not much better!
Only the rump steak to go and that’s all the meat packed away. I only got one pack of blade and want to ask MrD if that is right? It’s a beautiful beast, just young I think, but it would have led a “good life” and hopefully is growth promotant free…

Heading for the hills…Sonny Joe did not get accepted into the ADF gap year for next year, so back to the drawing board…
Off to sign up at the Library.
Off to get some din dins before the poor worn out househusband falls asleep in his chair.

what about the hats, 10 galon and all,
There were 10 galloners around too. Every shop in town has a Muster display which usually consists of a pretend boiling billy over a camp fire and a hayseed or two sitting around on hay bales. Just another obstacle to get around when you’re waiting at the checkout in Woolies.

Home time…fuel in the tank time…
off for a spring day at work
I’d better get the laundry out whilst there’s still daylight…we had to get the grey water pump (centrifugal) repaired the other day, the pump man said “capacitor” which was news to me, I didn’t know they had them in pump motors but there you go…it works a treat now…but the hose! I brought it in to water the corner of the yard that’s dried out but has nothing growing there, and the hose has cracked from years in the sun so now it looks like one of those green soaker hoses…
LOL!!
Got waylaid by the washing up before so will trot out and get those clothes pegged now…
I can hear my sausages and mash landing on the table.
Dinnah!
Better go and get some laundry done, Sonny Jim has only two pairs of work shorts because all the others are in getting repaired and the repairs ladies are on holidays…Still a lot of maintenance work being done (sparkie’s apprentice) and houses are still being repaired from the floods at the beginning of the year…we’re becoming experts on roofing insulation…I’m wondering if he should be wearing some form of nose and mouth protection…

Course he should. Dust is dangerous in any form.
We had frost here but I had covered my tomatoes. The orange tree should not be transplanted while there is riisk of frost. I got Tuberculosis from stirring composts without a mask.
Off myself shortly, after brekky.
I’m visiting a friend who is a terrible hypochondriac. (his words)
He has everything under the sun wrong and is often at his Drs. Well now he has a persistant cough and thinks hes dying, but his doc told him to make his visits a month apart, so he didn’t go for a check.
I said docs can be wrong and go see him, a persistant cough is an actual symptom, of something…well turns out after a few tests and an x-ray the poor bloke has a hydatid lung cyst. He really is sick this time.

It’s treatable. He will be right.
I’ve picked him a bunch of boronia and the last of the jonquils. I better be off.
I’ve got to go too. Lots more purning to do today. Mind you I’m wondering how wise it is to be doing it now because you southies are sending lots more icy weather up here.
Back for an up date later on.

Oh it wasn’t anything I said. It would have been picked up soon anyway, going on his bad cough. He was almost going to call the ambos one night because of breathing probs, but he came good with an asmtha puffer. Those cysts can take years to develop.

No daylight savings here :(, so it’s a big difference at the moment!
I’m off into the sewing room for the day. Going to play DVDs while I sew on my laptop. Elf needs a male bag for when we are out to carry him medical stuff. Flowers aren’t his idea of a bag…ROTFL
I need to do some shopping
Stuff to do. And the only way I can get this chick to shut up is put it’s cage right next to me. Finally it’s quiet and now eating, drinking…
Back to kickin up some dust in the paddocks.
Gonna try photograph a crocodile. Frogs are easy, want something bigger…

I haven’t much to report either..hmm a little storm is coming that’s about it.

I hate to brag, but about 3 months ago I bought a robotic vacuum. Most people think they are garbage (just like MrM and his protests)
Well I did my research and didn’t just buy any.
Now I have MrM singing it’s praises to all our visitors :)
And my house has never been or felt so clean…Especially with two white dogs on jarrah floorboards always running thru the house.
I just push a couple buttons as I head off for work and come home to a clean floor.
If anyone asks me I’d have to say best money I’ve spent in a long time

Usually have it going while I’m at work and dogs are outside. If I have it going with the dogs around they ignore it to the point that the vacuum has to go around them.
It’s the only vacuum that my boy woofa isn’t terrified of.

Yep that’s true…but I find my dust buster works well for that..or in the kitchen I get some wet paper towel and just run along the edges to tidy up the corners.

LOL!
We’ve had ours done by the septic tank man before, but in conjunction with the septic being cleaned. I’ve also knelt down there with a bucket and a soup ladle and cleaned it out. It does smell, but I can get past that. It’s probably naughty, but I just chucked the three or four buckets of watery disgusting stuff into my green compost bins and covered them up.

Gonna find some lunch. Later.

Yeah I have a cake to start.
suppose I better get a move on.
off to do some domestic goddess role play…scrubbing steps, putting clothes away, etc etc…
Bike trip, all of 4 blocks, to pick up some vegetables for roasting with the …. whatever Sonny Jim’s bringing up…(oven is on)…
LOve the little local supermarket, fruit and veg much dearer than WW or Coles but the quality (of the vegetables, anyhow) is superior…
Off to see if I can recycle a roost as a ladder to a roost…
Marker…
Love your Angry Bees, Buffy, do they work? Lol
>>Love your Angry Bees, Buffy, do they work? Lol<<
Of course they do!! The possums are extremely scared of them!!!
After I bought the first one, I looked at it head on and thought “Goodness, you look really angry”. So I don’t know what people thought of me in the shop the other day talking to myself and saying “Oh look! More Angry Bees!”

beautiful weather here – (we only got six millimetres of rain here in that storm – but 150,000 lightning strikes)
cyas.
back this afternoon…
…eventually…
Scheming to obtain some bauhinia blakeneii (F7). Kicking myself for not availing myself of that seed pod, about 15 years ago… yes there was a seed pod, yes I know this shrub is sterile 99% of the time…
Marker
…and now I will quit hogging the left hand frame…washing up to do etc etc…
Are you me? I’m off to do the washing up too….
I just did the washing up lol!
Now to load the car with goodies and raid herb patch and give the lemon balm a haircut. I hate the stuff so picking it for a woman who loves it.
Again.. but for a weather warning for Brissy..Superstorm cell Shaz is coming. Hang on to ya hats our banana bender friends.
My lemon balm seems to think it should be about 4 feet tall. And lush. I was looking at it last night and thinking it is really getting much too big for its boots. I don’t use it for anything, it’s a family relic. But it’s rather nice when you cut it down, spread it over the grass for a couple of days to dry out and then mow over it all with the mulcher mower.

Just looking at the BOM national radar, it looks like this storm cell will “explode” once she hits the Great Divide…
lunch and visitors coming
I’m back for a few minutes and a beetroot sandwich. I thought I was getting a bit faded. First lot of broadbeans are no more. Tops cut into bits and layered onto a bed around the gooseberries. Roots chopped with the spade and dug into the soil where they grew. Planted out another Black Krim and another BrandyWine. You can never have too many of them……
I’m eating radish and cheese..
…and now that I have hogged the LHS, I will depart to the laundromat…
i missed considerable news – only at 24/11 – 16.50.
bbl
Filling up the LHS…need to go Chopin as I am out of salad makings…well cherry tomatoes anyway…and then I need to walk the woof, who is waiting patiently on the top of the stairs…
sold three ducks, got money in hand, going shopping – for duck supplies! lol!

a bit more mowing needed – cyas.
got some gardening to do.
Just 8 posts off claiming the LHS…but I need to keep moving…
Or maybe tomorra.

Been a while…
Off to the laundromat and I am not going to resist offerings from the bakery next door…
and I am off for a walk…no dogs but apparently I am the new owner of a 3rd hand one…he does tricks too, shakes hands and rolls over…his name is Shadow but I’m going to call him Raskol, purely on principle that he’s anything but…(yes I’ve met him, no it wasn’t love at first sight but he does like my house very much…)
I’m off like a bucket of prawns in the hot sun.
Back later.
Happy Potter said:

Off to make a Liszt…all these jobs staring at me …
Every time I click on a post, the LHS goes to By Topic…grrr…so I am going to have some dinner, finish cleaning a cupboard and move it to where the slow combustion used to be…
seeing as it is cooler today I better get to it – got duck pens to clean out – been a while and they stink!
Off to feed my chookens…Looking forward to my lads’ arrival so we can extend their roosting area and also extend the area where they can get out and scratch and not bail each other up on the nesting boxes…
“Shadow” has been very upset, I think he liked his previous life. However the two baitches are turning up on Monday afternoon, for a week I think, so he’ll settle down some more after that…
Off to the laundromat…I nearly scored a recycled washing machine but they decided to go for a new one instead. Good thing as the laundromat will be closed as of tomorrow and won’t open until after the New Year. Gonna be a lot of stinky clothes by then …
Shadow is OK now, still not impressed but OK…
Also going to check if I have any eggs at all today…
I shall return.
Off to feed chookens, lock up the dog and walk down to find if the shops have got a sponge suitable for a Cheat’s Tiramisu…
Chopin
More dog clean up, vacuuming and mopping floors “just in case”, plus there’s a bit on the verandah where the previous occupant must have quartered her dogs…these dogs “leaked” and there’s stains all through this corner of the verandah…
Time to put out clean water for the chookens, do a head count and perhaps finish mowing the front yard…why Sonny Jim had the mulcher mower set to “scalp” beats me, I was hitting stones the other day…
talking about water, I should top up the bird bath etc. Over thirties all week and no rain in sight.
Off to get a few things done for the New Year: (1) replace the chookens’ paper, both shredded and news…(2) Vaccuum (my dust bunnies “woof”), mop and polish. Hooray I only have one carpet square. Might even whippersnipper the gutter and front fence, just for the New Year.
5 eggs today, another POL has come on to lay, YAY! Only 2 yesterday, Lynda and Goldie I think, but yeah, lotsa brown eggs gonna roll…
Time to do my handwashing…I’m to go to the local Mitre 10 tomorrow and check the load capabilities of a washing machine. Also had to explain to P that what he was looking at, needs to have a delicates (woollen) cycle as well. He keeps saying it’s “exactly the same” as daughter’s (Fashionista) but I had to explain that there’s two different cycles and not all washing machines have the delicates cycle (Fashionista’s does)..so hopefully I’ll check first thing tomorrow AM and he’ll then go and check what he’s been looking at…would rather just a twin tub for water conservation but the ones I’ve used, have a habit of chewing holes in things from time to time…
My new Washing Machine est arrive…ole!
Also, now this was a surprise, a new toilet cistern…
So I’m off to feed les chookens, les chiens, et moi, as we have to travel south for an hour to consult with a Dr. Hopefully she will look at my knee as well…
Ciao…
Marker…
Chookens to feed, dogs to feed, self to feed (scones with jam and cream is not breakfast, not really)…
Dogs are going home today… sniff
Marker…

Must go on my walk, knock myself out for a good night’s sleep…
I’ve got a letter to write. I’ll be back in a while .
Better get a crackle on…need to go for a walk…don’t need un beuteille de vino but I’m going to get one anyway…
oops… that’s une bouteille
What the heck, I’ll wash my few dishes and head off for my constitutional…have been vacuuming and mopping but honestly this is not the weather for it…looks good now, nice and fresh…gotta love the vinyl and lino floors…
I’m off too. Back tomorrow.
Off to bake a chocolate cake.
Community Dinner night over at the store tonight.

Full tummy BG.
Good drying breezes here, think I’ll put a few loads of laundry through…also need a quick trip to the grocer’s for a jar of coffee…
l8tr
Off to tidy up the chicken coop some more…Goldie sat in the nest for nearly 8 hours, hope she managed an egg after all that…gave it a right good cleanup yesterday, spread plenty of lime around plus fresh shredded paper under the roost (on concrete)
Shower, shave, shampoo, clean shirt…
Head full of typing…if you know what I mean…will re-read all the posts later when report is done…
Time to go for my walk…
You must all be busy…I’ve just found out, and printed, instructions on how to reload my whippersnipper…
Off to do some mowing…until the fuel runs out…then we’ll see about a walk…
Got a cat to feed…
Off to do some whippersnippering…I hope…
Off to get chooken breakfast ready and P has been told he needs to give me some advice re the roost…
GTG, peel back the fencing on the temp chooken coop, to drag out the tractor…
11 more posts and the LHS will be mine! MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!
However I need to put the spuds into the oven, I make my own wedges these days…and also need to rustle up the salad…main meal in the middle of the day…
Off to do something…not sure what…
Off to do a quick mow in the dark, if the mower starts that is. Rain is forecast for tomorrow.

Trust you to pick that up…no code, sorry…entirely pedestrian event: I was wanting to finish mowing the front yard, mower carked it on me yesterday, but had to wait for the lightning and tunder to go away…it was that twilight you get when the cloud cover’s so thick you don’t see the sun set but it’s light enough to read a book whilst ruining your eyes…if you’re just driving by it’s effectively “in the dark” …

Oh it started just as I was heading down the stairs…previous tenant, gives bogans a bad name, dismantled my cast iron bed and put it on top of the bush house. I’ve only just talked myself into getting it down, thought it might be too heavy. Not sure if I can save it as it’s obviously been out there a few years.
We’re having a late Wet season this year…that monsoonal trough in the north went up near / over the Equator for a week or two but has come down again…this gives us our rains with hopefully no cyclones…

if it’s any consolation – i’ve been pruning and tying tomatoes in the twilight and ms.j. is on a walk now, as dusk approaches.
Mah Jong this arvo…got to feed the chookens and let them out
WALKING DOG…GOT ABOUT AN INCH OF RAIN EARLIER I THINK…
pruning the budlejas all day today.
BBL.
Better go vacuum, make like I’m keeping the house in order.
Off to purchase more chicken feed mix, so I can breakfast with a clear conscience.

Does adding milk and sugar make it breakfast? and how does that clear your conscience? ;)

I add milk to their porridge, no sugar tho’… ran out of feed last night and they were looking for it before going to bed. Stock feed store should be open by now…
Off to cook some basa fish for the first time…have a lemon and garlic recipe that looks OK…
Okies, time to mow the front yard…I might throw some cut grass in with the chickens…they look so self-important with their dust bath efforts!!
Is it OK to use the Big Name oil mix with the whippersnipper? I have one mixed tank left with the Shindaiwa (F7) oil mix, then P said to go get Castrol or BP oil mix “it’s the same thing”…????

in deed it is all about te ratio. My dad went crook on the mechanics living behind us when he sent me to get a mower fuel oil mix.. they gave me 25-1
Dad ranted it has to be 33 to 1 for that particular motor.
He was correct. He always was.

Yes. One needs to read the info that comes with the implement. 2 strokes may use varying amounts of oil to the mix. Some use 50 to 1, though the majority use 25 to 1, so many use 1/3 rather than 1/4.
off to go check out the shops of Port Moresby! Might find some lunch too. Catch.

It also depends on the oil. In a Stihl machine using Stihl 2 stroke oil then 50:1 is fine. Using any other oil and the preference for Stihl machines is 25:1.

Did I say this was for a Shindaiwa (F7) whippersnipper? We use this also for the Stihl chainsaw, but I’m not sure of the proportions there…
Lunch…
Time to whippersnip the chook run…so I can get in there and not stand on any hens…

Got half of it done, then tidied the front…gees I’m good with the fine line cutting…that’s all the panic trimmed in the house yard then…just need to do the other half of the chook run and then there’s the back allotment / paddock.
GTG, take Shadow for his walk, knock off a few grams that piled on overnight…like 2 kg…
Just about filled up the LHS…we slept in this AM…to 9:30…so I missed church…drat…
about to go and move chickens, let others out…think about lunch (already).
I think all that yard work last week and weekend, knocked the socks off me…
Need breakfast, feed and move chooks…

Re: “I’ll be right back – probably” thread
lol! I’m back!
The chooks and ducks were pretty keen to go to bed. I had decided not to lock them up before the storm and am wondering if I made the right choice, for the chooks anyway. They are very wet and muddy and I hope that they don’t get a chill overnight. They could have got better shelter if they went under the verandah but they chose to hang around the closed pen. I am not sure they would have been any dryer inside though. There is little rain protection in the duck pens so they were better out, and they like the rain anyway. Peter Pan’s hollow in the shed where he likes to lie down is full of water. I wonder if he has the sense to lie down on a dry spot tonight? He is all muddy too, on the surface. All the dust his wool has collected during the dry is now wet. Chester Galah’s cage got pretty wet and I threw a blanket over it to give him some shelter during the storm as he was having to sit in the rain. Although he is on the verandah, the join between the verandah roof and the house roof leaks onto his cage in heavy storms like this. The tray that is his ceiling was full of water and leaking down into the cage too.
The light was surreal. You know that light after a storm just before dusk, all orange/yellow with the freshly washed plants looking super green. There were still some black clouds on the horizon with lightening and thunder but I think that is it for me, for now anyway.
Got a date with the whippersnipper, not looking forward to it…just an hour will do and then another hour tomorrow morning…hopefully…
Off to walk the dog, I have done another hour of whippersnippering and am pleased to advise, 5 hours later, I have finished with the WHS hazard that is the fence between us and the previous bogans. Am working my way along the “footpath” (about 6 foot above the road) but will need a chainsaw and Tordon to make progress there…Princess from next door ( I think she’s just young and not been anywhere) was mowing in a barely there dress…and we waved…
Have some chookens to dish up breakfast to, probably spend most of the day on the phone after that…
Visitors, then baking to do, back laters
Down the back whippersnippering…nearly got the “footpath” (6’ up from the road) cleared … your posts are important to me and I’ll read them as soon as I can…
I think I have to feed someone, shut a few gates, set up the morning’s feed…
I really need to do “stuff” around the house…
need to loosen the buns
My pumpkin soup could be ready, if not burnt…
I didn’t salt the pumpkin to roast as the new chicken stock I have is heavily salted already, and it was a you-beaut pumpkin…
I had better go and make myself useful…there goes another cattle truck and I wouldn’t be surprised if a cattle train comes up in the next few days…
cyas L8r
Thanks for your interest RoughBarked…will lock up the house and go back and try jiggling and moving the new key in and out and turning on to ACC etc to see if any of that will work…
Just as things get interesting…I have to depart anon…have applied to do a library assistant’s course and the bumf would be classified as a tome…there is a telephone appointment today…also I hope to apply as a volunteer to re-open the local histerical centre…would be dozens of applications, I would say…

Glad it won’t grow here. but that is wrong.. It will grow here in wet spots in warm weather.
Obviously I should be “doing things” but the chuckles have brightened my day…thanks to all for providing them…
I hope to buy my sock knitting needles today as Mrs B next door helped me size what I need after reviewing my swatches…she knitted a vest for her big brother when she was 13!!

Every winter I get the urge to take up the knitting needles or the chochet hook. I don’t because I have so many bits of unfinished stuff that teach me that I lose interest pretty quick. I used to be right into it.
…and on that note, I am off to boil some eggs for dinner…we have a Houghton’s Classic Red to go with them…
After I’ve cooked a billion snags..
Off to do some hay mowing, aka yard mowing…
According to J down the back, there’s a spate of burglary going on … she was broken into (and I saw nothing!! gasp) and somebody slept there, nicked her good torch and also some keys to her wardrobes???
Then last night they broke into the local Court House …. about as sacred in this town as the cop shop… and nicked a television…
So I am to lock up tight, word has it they are picking on stuff that they can sell…might have to put my laptop and monitor into the bedroom tonight, Shadow sleeps with me…on the floor I mean…
…and I am off…such a beautiful day, I can work outdoors in the middle of the day if I want…amazing…
off to a job interview in Wang.

Waiting on editing orders from HWMBO…I can’t believe I found a typo of my very own…so I am off to feed myself and check the chookens stock of shell grit…they are leaving more and more grains behind so they are getting fussy….
Washing up, laundry, am cleaning up a lot of “stuff” ready to recycle …
Off with me bike torch to (a) candle goldie’s eggs and (b) look in the long grass for nests…the egg-sitement is killing me…
Off for a Nanna Nap…must have been something in the orange juice last night…
Digby is waiting for me to join him on the futon for an afternoon read, so I had better not disappoint him.
Dinetta said:

I had one too, but I think it had to having a toddler for the weekend :D
Off to take Shadow for his walk…I see a gent with a little white flooffy is engaged in the constitutional for the dawg…must be going out as he is dressed up…I think the feller likes to p off the dogs in the neighbourhood as he walks up the pedestrian walkway across the street then walks back along our fencelines…
Time to give the chookens their final grains for the night, then take Dawg for a walk…State of Origin tonight and if we get there in time, it’s a $5 plate of pasta at the local RSL before the game….
And I am off, got a ham and pea soup to make, a room to continue cleaning…chookens to bat out of the house … eggs to collect before the crows do…
For all that the minimums are forecast to rise, I think there is more chili weather coming…the cat is asleep on top of the closed laptop…she’s not curled up with her nose under her tail but I’m sure the weather will change soon…
Really need to take Shadow for his walk but I want to whippersnip down the back first…tidy it up a bit more…the chookens mostly laid in their designate nests today so maybe they objected to all the extra activity next door, the past 4 weeks?
J1 and J2 still missing, I saw the local sergeant inspect the joint at lunchtime and he checked the back door was locked.
I am getting such an education here…DV is definitely unpleasant and this would have been a relatively mild incident…

Sorry I have been talking about this in the Chat thread…

I’ve shifted the ute load of bark I stripped off the tree that once cut down, I measured at the optimistic minimum measurement of 46 feet. It could have been a couple of foot taller but who’s quibbling? That/s more than a foot per year of its life. I transplanted it from my garden in 1981 to this garden. It had been planted two or three years when I dug it up and shifted it some 30 Km, to here.
I’ve also blocked the top parts of the tree into firewood.. Still have three major trunk sections to shift off my front footpath where I so cleverly dropped it..
Back to the fray.

thanks for that explanation, the tenants need to be ex-tenants, kick them out
trichome said:

They moved out under police supervision for 2 hours, I think J1 & J2 left town then, and next day the tenants finished moving some heavy stuff.
The coppers basically kicked them out on the Sunday, told them they could not come back to pick up their stuff until Thursday, but may have told them to stay away until 17:00 Wednesday, which is when this all started.
Going to clean out under the chooken roost, put that along with some scraps (that the worms and chookens wouldn’t – shouldn’t eat) … thinking I will have to lock the chookens OUT of their pen, so I can turn the compost heap… that can wait another day…also have to Cobb & Co a few more rungs to the roost ladder…
Off to get changed and stuff…chopin to do…
Heading off for a walk…Shadow nags more than the kidlets ever did…Finished off the lamb, apple and mint patties from the butcher and now I have power to go, so to speak…
:P
…annnnnd it’s off to bed for me…Nefertiti is nose to nose so I think that might be a hint…
G’night all….
Off next door to Mah Jong…
Bought a denim skirt earlier…hardly a stylish affair and I could probably use it as a sail for a cockleshell…half price as there’s a sale on but I didn’t know that until I got there…also a turk’s head cobweb broom, my OWN toe nail clips and sundry items for the pantry…Thomas Cook is a very generously sized brand…
it’s raining but I must shop – bbl.
The wind has dropped temporarily so I might head out to see if I can do a bit
Lunch, and then down town, I bought a TuffSteel (?) set of saucepans, $140 so not top of the range but then I’m not a top of the range cook…they have Teflon and are a beaut sauce pan…OMG I have a set of saucepans that match, never thought I’d get excited about that! so I want some utensils that won’t scratch the marvellous finish…Teflon has come a long way in 30 years…
Think I might complete some hardcopy filing whilst there’s daylight…I need glasses more than I need food, I reckon…
Anyone know where RoughBarked has got to?
Taking Deadly for a walk so he can roll in that PIG one more time before I give him his weekly bath…
Taking Shadow for his daily roll in the dead pig….errr….constitutional…
Must start taking him of a morning again…I almost have my mornings into a routine…first time in my 58 years…thanks to the hanimals…
Off to see if Goldie is wandering around…
Vet appointment for Max. No further funny episodes to note so it will be for a check up and chat.
I should get cracking too. Catch ya :)

yardbirds.OK, grocery chopin…the rainbow lorikeets are out of food, the dog is out of food (kinda) and I just wanna mingle with the checkout chicks and all…
Then We will go for a walk, a long one if there’s enough daylight, that diabetic fruit cake is giving me the power to move…

Back from chopin…
It looks like the checkout ladies have resigned en masse the owner’s daughter was there yesterday putting groceries through with a baby on her hip…only one checkout lady tonight…maybe I’ll find out at Mah-Jong what happened…agog!
A cafe owner has shut up shop for a few days, the missus is in l’hopital…and I found out tonight she’s got pneumonia…bummer…
Off to do something useful…like collect the eggs, sweep the floor, ummm wash the dishes…
There’s housework to be done, I’ve been putting it off but I might as well treat myself to the exercise…
Got to race down town and pick up supplies…
I’ve got floors awaiting…dishes presenting items of sculptural interest…chookens waiting for Goldie to finish laying her egg so they can all have porridge…
l8tr
Off to take Woofle for his walk, seeing as I didn’t go last night. He’d better not lose me tonight as I have no car to go back and find him with, although I suppose I could do with the extra exercise!! … and if I’m walking I won’t get breathalysed!
Can’t believe the local sargeant pulled me over, then we had to wait for his breathalyser reader to “warm up!!! Must have been a quiet night!
So, I have almost filled up the LHS again…have watched all my favourite police procedurals on iView…hoping for some more Scott & Bailey in the years to come… Waking the Dead has finished for good…it was a bottler of an ending, no feel-good all’s well there…
I have also “discovered” Whitechapel…love the spookiness even if the storylines are somewhat imaginative…
Got a few things to do, l8tr
We are on our way shortly to buy a new chest freezer, the one I have is leaking…oh have I told you that? I have just enough pennies to buy a Westinghouse that’s a good size…if the shop has them…by good size I mean 160 – 210 litres…
Hanimals all staring at me…wish they wouldn’t…
I think I’ll go for a bike ride…give the chookens a bit more grain first as they’re heading for the roost…
Off to wash some more walls…I stink and am in need of a bath so I might as well get really yuk…
I think I need to eat…
Getting new hearing aids (or as somebody said, “earring aides” lol)
They are going to be Mediterranean Turquoise in colour, sick of beige or mushroom pink ones…

Yep, old age Happy Potter. She’d been crook-like but OK (kinda) for about 3 – 4 weeks, just went very quiet this week…She was an older hen when I got her, think she may have been a fave of the previous owner. She was still part of the flock but really noticed when Biddy “left”. Hadn’t laid an egg since this time last year but could still be found, up until last week, occasionally sitting on a nest with eggs…even Pancho used to drop a wing and do the “I’m the Rooster, you’re the hen ahahahahaha” bit up until about 2 months ago (and it looked like she was telling him “whatevs”)
I’ve been soaking the garden bed where she’s going, and the failed eggs will go under her, and then I’ll transplant my Dr Huey (?) on top, to be trained along the fence between me and Mrs B…

Taking Shadow for a walk, we just had a nice little evening shower, freshen things up…
Now that I’ve had lunch, better get back to it :)
Yes, I’ve got to head back down town, my back pack from Vinnies is brilliant for my swimming gear but not much chop for shopping, I’m afraid.
Managed to buy a new clock for the bedroom (sadly no fun clocks left), extra twiddly bits for the irrigation sprinklers, a new diary for next year (and some contact to brighten the cover)…swapped some library books…and no room left for the groceries.
Le chat needs biscuits. Le woof needs bones or those denta chews…Le chien needs another bath, rolled in something after yesterday’s effort…but then again I might wait for the smell to go away…
Chooks breakfast on verge of burning…l8tr
Riiiight that’s me caught up then…
Off to give the chookens their breakfast…yes I know it’s 15:30 but they don’t care…and they’ve been following me around…
Well I had better go have a shower, go for a swim…I have been avoiding exercise but have managed to drift out of whatever doldrum I was in and have also washed a wall and floor in the lounge room, so that is that room almost presentable…
Once more to the fernery roof, dear friends…
Might go for a swim in the local pool, also need some dog food and some coffee…instant I’m afraid…
So much for the swim, the neighbour’s dog, from down the back, followed me and I had to bring her back…she doesn’t like the man owner very much…
Going for a bike ride, the pool shut at 18:00 tonight (booooo) so bike ride it is…then a walk after dark with Shadow…who’s missing his feline friend very much, now that the “girls” have gone home…
Off to the sewing room. Been out of this room for a whole week. Catch you later on today.
Off for my walk…
although it’s showery again I’ll go for a quick bike ride, Shadow needs a walk tonight…
Well I suppose I have run out of excuses for not doing the housework…think I’ll walk downtown tho’ and do my chopin now…being MOnday morning it should be quiet…
Noticed another lady who uses a shopping trolley like I do: hers is a much more snazzy number…a kind of dark rose-apricot with camel trimmings…mine is just purple …
Off to ride my bike, shed an ounce or two…
Off to a funeral to bury one of my younger half brothers. The idiot walked in front of a street sweeper. Idiot, because he was blind drunk. I’d not seen him in many years, no love lost, but going to be a support to his gf.

That went better than I thought. And it was good that I went, not just a support to his gf, as they had the music wrong, mike didn’t like pink floyd, he liked johnny cash, and wrong info regarding family. I was able to correct a few things.
His death was a suicide, he was sick and not expected to live much longer. Although the only witness was the poor sweeper driver, we knew it was suicide by the clues he left. A note in his wallet with the lyrics to ‘I walk the line’, what he was doing when hit, walking on the white road line. And the other was the vehicle he chose..he was always being told to clean himself up. So being hit by a street sweeper, he got cleaned up, literally. He was a mysterious person who never exposed his inner feelings, only clues.
The estranged sister was civil, whereas I was half expecting a not so nice greeting. But the best part really, was being reacquainted with the youngest brother who I’d not seen in 32 years. Well he was a different person than the one I remember, a crim and an alcoholic, now he had grown up. I had to laugh when he told me of his ‘moment of truth’.. he was ready to knock off the local bowls club and nearly got struck by lightening walking across the golf course. The tree next to him exploded into flames. Being a big fan of the blues bros, he saw that as a sign from God, and turned back. That was 21 years ago and he’s not touched the drink nor broke a single law since. He earns an honest dollar these days.

That went better than I thought. And it was good that I went, not just a support to his gf, as they had the music wrong, mike didn’t like pink floyd, he liked johnny cash, and wrong info regarding family. I was able to correct a few things.
His death was a suicide, he was sick and not expected to live much longer. Although the only witness was the poor sweeper driver, we knew it was suicide by the clues he left. A note in his wallet with the lyrics to ‘I walk the line’, what he was doing when hit, walking on the white road line. And the other was the vehicle he chose..he was always being told to clean himself up. So being hit by a street sweeper, he got cleaned up, literally. He was a mysterious person who never exposed his inner feelings, only clues.The estranged sister was civil, whereas I was half expecting a not so nice greeting. But the best part really, was being reacquainted with the youngest brother who I’d not seen in 32 years. Well he was a different person than the one I remember, a crim and an alcoholic, now he had grown up. I had to laugh when he told me of his ‘moment of truth’.. he was ready to knock off the local bowls club and nearly got struck by lightening walking across the golf course. The tree next to him exploded into flames. Being a big fan of the blues bros, he saw that as a sign from God, and turned back.

Wow huge difference between Pink Floyd and Johnny Cash…not even on the same planet…
We all joke about the bolt of lightning from God: few of us experience it…youngest bro has definitely done well, then…
Funerals are possibly worse than weddings for bringing out the family dirty laundry, in my experience…
Off to make toast and vegemite…might change into yard clothes and tidy up the front yard a bit…the cherry guava cuttings do look lovely as pieces of wood..
Pie time!
Got vegetables to buy, lunch to prepare…
Whee, all caught up…Sonny Jim is applying a new lock to my front door, lost the key to the previous lock about 2 years ago so have been leaving the house shut but basically unlocked…
He had to buy a strip of 15mm (I think he said???) aluminium to fit a patch on the existing aluminium-framed door, so the lock can go over far enough to catch on the catch thingy when it’s attached to the wooden door frame..
He’s also here to help me pull the mango tree back (died about 4 years ago, roots rotted from trunk) and we will render the main trunk horizontal…the little hailstorm blew it over onto some temporary fencing…
Off to make a shelter for Tink’s food so that it’s protected from the rain (that we should be so lucky) while I’m away…
Off to buy a season ticket at the local pool…I need to do something, getting too old to get around without any exercise…
Best go and feed chookens, dogs…sadly not the cat…hope she hasn’t left home…
Then get ready for Yoga for the Over 55s..
Yayayayayayayayay
Suppose I’d better….
Battery about to cark it…
In the top right corner of the photo in your album if you run your cursor there a sort of cogwheel appears. Click on the option of “Share Links”. I use HTML thumb. When you click on that option, it copies the link and then you can come back to your post here and paste it in.
You may need to enable the thumbnails. Click on the little silhouette head at the top right of the album page. Go to Albums tab and tick all the link boxes.

Probably.
Yes it could.
Or should we just keep using the Goodnight thread?
