Can we please have a “Goodmorning” thread?

Wake up you sleepyheads! Its such a balmy morning, already 22C and the Kookaburras are up and laughing… prolly laughing at the way I look first thing in the morning looking desperately into the bottom of my rain gauge to find nothing inside. I’m sure I heard rain on the roof last night. More likely possumpee.

that obviously didn’t work.

shhhh people sleeping.

I’ll say… maybe they all stayed up and watched the football last night???

lol, morning.
I did try to get up early but strangely, my eyes wouldnt open.

Spotted a new visitor to our trees this morning, a Nankeen or Rufous Night Heron. Very pretty bird.

le tour has started so that’s three weeks of enjoyable european scenery from a helicopter.

missus and i are slowly weeding the garden – bed by bed – did i tell you we were boring people?
our mungral young poodle – aphrodite – has discovered digging is good in the damp soil so she needs a bath just to be allowed inside.

speaking of which – that’s a ripper tub (and pooch) you’ve got there HP !. it will test your skill to grow a water garden tho’ – they tend to be quite tricky.

Thanks Pepe. Not a lot of skill in a water feature..just make sure there’s no leaks, and so far theres none :D
I can so relate re dogs digging in soft soil. Max is my excavator lol.

water does have algae and oxygen and cleaning problems – but i’m sure you’ll prevail.

quiet in here again.

morning PM, and any lurkers.

I’ve had a slow start to the day and slept in, but had a late night

I hope it rains! it’s forecast but the sun is out. Getting awfully dry here now.
I guess SGA people will tell me they are visiting my garden soon, they said the middle of the month, so I will do a little tidy up outside and keep it clean.

No, no media lol.

But it was an ‘almost’ with a police action thing. Crisis averted however, and the boy settled. You can probably guess from that that we had a late night ‘volcanic explosion’ rage thing happen.

I haven’t spotted a friend about in days now and people alwas visit when the place is a mess..and theres crushed noodles all over my kitchen..benches, sink, coffee machine, in the vase of flowers , my desk ect, and the floors covered.

Nar, that part was fun. The trigger was a late night phone call and a kid accusing him of something he didn’t do. One does not ever accuse with this kid unless one knows the facts. The fall out is terrible.
Our fault though for forgetting to pull the phone plug out earlier.

Thats in the planning. We don’t change anything whilst the boy is still living here.

When he eventually is in alternate accomodation we have to change phone numbers and house locks. Hubby wants to put a high fence up out front and an intercomm and camera system, and security grill around the front porch so we don’t have to constantly answer the door to feral kids looking for GS.

soggy crushed noodles… harder to pick up.

LOL! the mans suggestion was to bring the chooks inside and let them do the clean up whilst we sit and have a coffee!

G,morning in the obviously ressurrected thread :)

It’s rain rain and more rain! :D

We had one shower of rain overnight. Just enough to re wet the bath towles still on the line from yesterday. It’s quite humid and the clouds are racing accross the sky from north west to south east. I’d like a ride on one actually.

I’ve been and done some weeding outside the house pad. Don’t do out there very often. Disturbed a walaby without knowing it till it was too late. We both jumped. lol.

The black russian toms are flowering again. The bushes look awful May just pull them out and rely on the romas.

Have to head for town this morning. Desperate for potting mix. Fernery stuff is in need of repotting and now is the time.

Rubs eyes…. morning.

I hear ya. That’s why I’m flat out yawning, couldn’t go back to sleep. and I feel flat. I have a ‘banders’ meet here tomorrow and wondering if I have enough chairs for people .. wondering if it will be warm enough to hold it on the patio. Ect. Silly racing thoughts.

Morning, just polished off some bacon & eggs and a cuppa.

Bacon fat was cut up and fed to Mrs. Maggie. I am not sure but I think I could just make out her babies in the nest. With I had binoculars to have a good look.

Making the dundee cake today.

Also I have a swap with a lady in America and I need to make something from each letter in the word friends.

Going to make a scissor case today for the letter “S”

You might have to become the local bird moderator by the sounds of it. I confess to having stopped magpies picking on their babies at one time. I know I shouldn’t interfere and I only did it once. I still yell at them from the verandah if I think they are going overboard with persecution of some poor feathered friend. I defend my right to object. lol.

Patio is set up for my bander friends meeting. I’ve no need to cook and most of them don’t require feeding, but I’ll make a nice risotto anyway. They’re an excuse to cook ,lol.

I spotted a flower bud on a spring onion and I don’t want to save any seed, so I pulled the lot up. What to do with a barrow full of spring onions … when my head is on the right way I’ll think of something :)

True. But my chef friend rang and said “don’t you dare give them away, I’ll be there in 5 mins for them”. LOL
They were so strong, they were cutting our eyes as we bagged them. Some as big as leeks.

Bumping up the g’morning thread before we lose it..

Morning! It’s grey and dark out..can smell the approaching rain. All is quiet in the back yard after the poor chook dunking drama yest’. Golda the silkie, lives.

I have visitors arriving at 9 and I better get dressed. I think they’re sick of seeing me in my pj’s lol.

Morning. wake up! (talking to myself) I’m still so sleepy.

Everyday now ‘till the SGA Open Day I’ll be in my garden planting ,repotting, pruning and weeding and feeding or any one of the 100 things to do to get it ready. I’m so excited :)

Lawn areation and feeding today. I get to jump up and down on a garden fork. What a blast, lol. I have the big pondy tub of water for it.
I’m going to get one of those Casurina ‘cousin it’ plants for a tall skinny pot and place it in a sunny bare corner. I love running my hand over them.

My potted plants in the ‘intensive care unit’ are looking better, and the cutting from my fave pink azalea has buds :D

Howdy everyone. I missed Monday. Thank heavens it’s followed by a Tuesday.

I have a Cousin It in a tall pot HP. Like you, I luv it. It’s so unusual. Haven’t had mine all that long but it’s grown heaps. Might have to take It to the hairdresser for a trim if it keeps going.

You might also like Juncus effusus spiralis (check it out on Google Images.) It’s a curly, twisting water plant. Can send you some if you’re interested.

Morning Lucky1.

Hi Pomolo :)

Just had a look at images of that , never seen it before, it’s cool! Thank you for your offer, but how do you send a water plant piece in the post ?? I would love some :):)
Does it grow all year ? What depth?
But I can look about here first then let you know… I’ll get back to you on that ok.

I think i’m going to take the potted water Iris out of the pond, after the open day anyway, as it grows too fast and tall and blocks off the sun to the water lillies. The compost heap is full of the leaves. I could cut it down almost daily and it rockets back up. That’ll be a job because it’s in a pot with only brick halves to anchor it.

Everyday now ‘till the SGA Open Day I’ll be in my garden planting ,repotting, pruning and weeding and feeding or any one of the 100 things to do to get it ready. I’m so excited :)

…………………….

Hope we get to see lots of pics ?

Yes good ,thanks. The quiet is errie and takes some getting used to. The big boy visits us often, but he’s been very quiet. We have an appt here tomorrow wth psych ,vcat rep, and case manager to discuss aspects of the guardianship order. Once that’s in place they can do a lot more for the boy re programs and course’s for him.

Then I have to change into ‘gardening mode’ and head off to the club meeting for the committee change over. I just have to remember to take the correct paperwork ,lol.

another beautiful day in Paradise.

We’ve got bees (don’t know whose bees tho’) harvesting from the front callestimon (F7)…the back ones are yet to bloom…I was looking at the front one and I said to MrD that they bloom too early (spring) or too late (autumn) because otherwise they’d be great Christmas trees…not to be chopped down, of course…

I was awake, just not out of bed…by 5th year, do you mean our Year12?

I’ve tried wholemeal pizza bases as well, they are a bit on the stodgy side so now we just stick to unbleached white flour…

well the Possums are playing rough on the backyard this morning, so mr carpet snake hasn’t eaten all of them yet… there’s a boobok owl in the trees outside, the back verandah is full of frogs. And some one has a Rooster somewhere. I can hear the Curlews too.

MrD said we don’t have the curlews here at the moment…

I doubt one snake would eat a lot of possums, not sure if any in Oz could open their jaws enough (willing to be advised here) a snake might eat one possum….they only eat when hungry and I would be surprised, given the size of the possums, if a snake would swallow more than one at a time….

if you’ve got possums you might need to look into netting for your fruit trees…how many mango trees do you have? because between the fruit bats, the possums and the birds, one tree is going to be depleted in no time…

You do have your house screened / sealed so the possums can’t get into the roof cavity? Many councils have this as a compulsory requirement…I’m told that if a possum pees on your ceiling then you can’t get rid of the smell…

– HP, you’re prolly already up and pruning a fern somewhere.
——————————————————- No actually I slept in PM!
I tried staying up late to change my sleep pattern.
I hope you managed to go back to sleep for an hour or so..

Morning all. Really cold this am.

pepe, hope you enjoyed those asparagus. I have 4 years to wait.
————
they were terrific in a stir fry. ms pepe had to bring her food tech knowledge to the project.
and PM – good list – i hope you sleep better tomorrow.

– Lucky, we let our ducks stay out too late last night, and they were very reluctant to go into the dukhaus.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————

On the full moon nights, my ducks like to stay out and play…. can be a problem getting them to bed too.

What an excellent forum recap :) All I can remember of refrigerator is something like “Reeeeefrigerator, why are we always sooner or later, bitchin’ in the kitchen or crying in the bedroom or night” – but I have the CD in the stack I plan to listen to after lunch today :D

Dear blender, won’t you help a first defender – oh, trash can, don’t you put the dirt on me!

We have possums in the roof at work from time to time. Lots of stains, and this one time the pee dripped down onto some computers, but no lingering smell. However, that could be due to the ceiling structure – it’s very different from the kind of ceiling you get in houses. Or it actually stinks but we’re all used to it and don’t notice? :D

Yeah, back before we called them Year 8 or 9 or 12, the High School years were called 1st year, 2nd year or 5th year. Seeing as I am younger than most here, I thought you’d all would have grown up with the latter…

according to my book, our snake when older should be capable of eating small dogs and cats…

We have a Mango Orchard, or I prefer to call it a Grove. The Bats are currently eating the Calliandra blossom. The Cockies are eating the Mangoes.

The possums cannot get into the house, they live outside, one in a coconut tree, one in a gum tree, one in the shed (but we have not seen her for a while) and one on the back verandah (we say g’day to him some days, he his there this morning, trying to sleep)

And yes, possum pee in the roof is not good.

Gooooood morning all! The picnic races this weekend have been cancelled…a pity…due to rain…the track is on gidyea claypan…the locals would be pulling cars out from here to mid October…however so much rain is very good news to the cow cockies in that district…

G,morning my ‘dirt’ friends :)

I’m getting organised for the upcoming events.. hosp bag packed for sudden departure in case this cyst decides to explode, lol (niggly sharp pains this am) Most important thing on my list: shave legs!!

Hard rubbish collection planned for 1st of Oct..all the stuff in the carport is piling up, mostly GS’s bed and furniture, and an old couch and chairs. You’re not allowed to put it on the nature strip, must be on your driveway so the cars will be parked out for a day.

And, SGA people rang to ask if they could store trays of seedlings at my place, for handing out to Open day visitors.. I said thats fine, how many?… 800!! trays and trays..Eekkk.

Cars will have to stay out on the street longer..

Painter is coming back this weekend to finish the main bathroom, then we can replace the right fitting and no one will have to pee in there in the dark…

And a new hose/ tap connection for the washing machine today, as it decided to burst and flood the laundry. I wondered what that hissing sound was, making Max bark madly.. I hadn’t washed lately and it was sitting on the floor.. now have piles of dirty and wet washing to do. Might have to call in the brigade (daughters to help)

“then we can replace the right fitting”

I’m happily addicted, make my own now.

Good morning to all…we had a short sharp 1.5 inches last night (I think, maybe it was only 1?) but it flooded the back deck right up to and under the refrigerators…Sonny Jim was stuck, he parks the (petrol, 2 wheel drive) work ute on the blacksoil and it’s never been a problem, but after that little deluge this morning MrD had to get up and pull him out with the 4 WD patrol…Sonny Jim is going to leave the work ute in the work shed until the black soil dries out…MrD had already left the Mondeo down at the front gate…if I win the lotto I’m upgrading the driveway to all-weather and getting a hardstand laid down in front of the house…our potholes there require rapelling equipment to climb out of…

HOWEVER I am not complaining…the wheat farmers are, a little bit, but any rain is good rain up here…the native shrubs are blooming with joy….reckon it will be a good year for whoever’s hive it is that these bees belong to…

reckon it will be a good year for whoever’s hive it is that these bees belong to…

++++++++++++++++++++++
In a way, a hive of bees belongs to everyone.
And i reckon you’re right!

The start of another day, I wonder what it will bring?

Rain is forecast for the next 3 days, getting heavier on Monday…I was telling Sonny Joe that the weather at the moment is more like the end of January, beginning of February, rather than September…it’s going on record as our wettest September for many a year…unlike Jan and Feb however, it’s a lot cooler and I’m not walking around looking for mould…

nope. Kippered Herring from a tin. We don’t have a dam unfortunately, the ducks would love one. I don’t think we really have the space, would have to lose a few trees…

Good morning all…it’s cloudy at the moment, I think we have the scrag end of the rains down south…still drying out from the last lot but heck all rain is good, so I won’t complain …

My potted frangipani are flowering, hopefully the scent will rise in the next few dawns and dusks…also one of my geranium is flowering splendidly, I think the secret may have been the odd allocation of worm wee over the winter…and a thingamebob…the living vase plant…looks like it has a flower coming up…the frogs love this one…

The caladium have burst into leaf, time will tell if the common one has survived the winter, it’s potting mix is like rock…maybe I should have repotted it when I bought it…I may have some speckled leaf caladium to give away after this season, say late April early May next year….or pot it up and donate it to the church for a fete…so put your hands up if you want any…could be 3 -4 bulbs…

My adenium that I repotted, rotted…the one that fell out of its’ pot is doing fine, in a cardboard box in the study…I really need to get that out…

Off to put Sonny Joe’s uniform through the dryer, another coffee, washing up…a day off catches up with you doesn’t it?

Morning from me too. Brekky had, shower dressed, chooks fed. Mad house here already, but on a different note. DHS people are due here soon to get the big boy up and off to the resi unit.

Sounds like you need a whole day aside for gardening Dinetta :)

I have a specialists appointment, BBL

Yes I do (need a whole day for gardening)…too stuffed after big race day on Saturday, running the kids around town (looking for a party, thankfully there were none, pubs shut and locked down by 10:00 pm…)until late at night…slept for half of yesterday and read a new book the other half…sooo far behind in the housework…and this is the basic stuff (like washing up and laundry)…

Good luck with the DHS and the specialist’s report…

Oh no, 8 hrs between posts and no earlybirdpeople, hope all is well :O

Morning.
I was manning the phone from early to GS who was cracking it at the unit. All good now tho’. He constantly hangs up on me so I sent a message not to ring if he is not going to do that.

I reminded him I won’t be home today and his dad is at work and don’t come home as there won’t be anyone here.

I’m showered n shaved all shiney clean, make up and lippy on for the press LOL!. Not that it does much lol..

Been food shopping already… just stuffed a slice of home made fruit loaf down my throat…now I’m going to get ready for quilting……

No Maccers for breakie for me now on payday……… sort of hurt walking past it after shopping in the stupidmarket. Figured I saved a few $$$ and kilos not calling in….lol

Any experienced cooks there? I have SR flour in the cupboard, for the pastry, but the recipe calls for plain plus ½ tsp of baking powder. Will the SR I have, do the job? Otherwise I will buy the purpose plain pastry flour and add the BP to that…

Oh good, thanks Pomolo…I don’t stock much of this purpose flour, as you know in our heat it goes “off” somehow although I suppose I could keep it in the freezer…if I find the What R U cooking thread I’ll let you know how it goes…just a simple meal from The Cook and The Chef…

Enjoy your day at the Centre

yep – rain coming so best to spread the manure and mulch prior to its arrival.
the coliban and desiree spuds have been in since august and properly mulched and all but the birds plus time had exposed a few tubers. so i returned with manure and mulched and fix them up.
a whole host of jobs actually – do them as they come to mind.

Lipstick signals that I am getting married, which hopefully won’t be happening again!

most pastries call for plain flour. Not knowing how much flour you are adding the BP too, I’d hazard a guess that it would be less than needed to make it up to SR flour.

I don’t mind their coffee most of the time…the production line service is a turn-off…I have discovered a locally-owned (Greek) cafe that sells good coffee…exy but worth it for a treat…plus you can sit on the pavement and watch the world go by as a bonus…(they’ve got a dining set up on the footpath).

We had to do that on Monday but for blood tests. I was even tempted to suck a cough lolly which was the only suckable thing in the house but I didn’t. No trouble with the ‘take on an empry stomach’ pills when I got home though.

Bless him, my dad stocked up with really high quality, delicious chocolates for after my colonoscopy/endoscopy. I hate fasting with a passion, I’m so bad at it. I drive everyone crazy because I can’t stop thinking about how hungry I am. By the time I was picked up from hospital and had already had a nice sandwich and a cuppa tea, my previous ridiculous, enormous chocolate craving had completely disappeared, but it’s the thought that counts :) I spent ages before the day fantasizing about exactly what delicious chocolate I would eat when I was allowed to eat again – didn’t realise anyone was paying that much attention :D

GOOD MORNING! lazyheads… i dunno, since daylightsavings started I figured you mexicans would be on here one hour before me…. but no, i’ve been up, chatted to the ducks, took photos of the sunflowers, a photo of the snakeysnakey, and youse all are still sleeping in! what time is it in Mexico anyways? 20 to lunchtime?

Hey PM I have been at work for an hour lol

lol PM, 20 to lunchtime..

I was up but busy. Got to get ready to spend the day, from 11 am, at the orchard perfecting my pruning technique :)
Those huge multi trunked old fruits are going to get the haircut of their lives.
(yesdy’s orchard pruning session was for committee members as it turned out, so I didn’t have to be there at 3pm)

The man is on arvo shift atm so I’m made him some lamb rolls he can reheat for his lunch.

JJ is off with his sister and her hubby on their boat fishing for the day. He loves boats and fishing as much as I do. He scarpered off with some lamb rolls early.

aye ‘tis

another day above ground is a good one.

Yes very true PM :)

G,morning to yous too. There’s a bunch of birds having a blast bug bashing the bushes here, lol, very noisy. Methinks the bugs might be locusts but there’s plenty of moths being snatched up on the wing. The rain has the insect world on the move and they’re coming inside too.
I squished the biggest white tail spider I ever saw just now. It appeared from behind my PC desk on the wall and then it calmly walked scross my keyboard.

Took one thong off foot, smack and spidy annihilated.. bit hard but the keyboard is obviously ok! lol :)

Got all geared up to do my morning rounds and it started to rain. Not exactly rain in the true sense of the word. More like misty fog. Enough to wet my glasses to make seeing near impossible. Early morning checks aren’t much fun if you can’t see anything. Now, of course, the sun is out all bright and shiny.

D and I are going to go somewhere today. Don’t know where yet but feel the need to get out of the place for a day. Probably just do a bit of a drive and see if we can spot some roadside bargains. There is always moo poo or horse poo to be bought for a couple of bucks a bag. Will hopefully get some fruit and vegie roadside bargains too. A big fat tray of paw paws sounds good. Luv my paw paw. Mine aren’t ripening yet. I’d like to come upon some mangoes for sale but doubt there is any chance of that happening.

Mightn’t have to go at all now. I’ve been already, judging by my previous paragraph. I’ll let you know what happens.

Got all geared up to do my morning rounds and it started to rain. Not exactly rain in the true sense of the word. More like misty fog. Enough to wet my glasses to make seeing near impossible. Early morning checks aren’t much fun if you can’t see anything. Now, of course, the sun is out all bright and shiny.

D and I are going to go somewhere today. Don’t know where yet but feel the need to get out of the place for a day. Probably just do a bit of a drive and see if we can spot some roadside bargains. There is always moo poo or horse poo to be bought for a couple of bucks a bag. Will hopefully get some fruit and vegie roadside bargains too. A big fat tray of paw paws sounds good. Luv my paw paw. Mine aren’t ripening yet. I’d like to come upon some mangoes for sale but doubt there is any chance of that happening.

Mightn’t have to go at all now. I’ve been already, judging by my previous paragraph. I’ll let you know what happens.

I bought a tray of mango 2nds today for $14.95. Nothing wrong with them, just very ripe.

Merry Monday Morning to everyone. Not so merry actually. #4 plover dead. I can’t work out why it’s died. Also found a dead maggie too. Poison: I hear you ask. Not from here it ain’t. D chucked the bodies in the long grass but over the day Mr & Mrs Plover must have dragged it back out into the open. They are mourning something fierce and will not leave the carcass. Still diving and swooping on anything that gets too close.

On the other hand we still have kookaburras feeding babies and crested pigeons on eggs. This morning we had a whip bird and the Koel having a voice competition. We are a bit over the koel so the whip bird won. There is one more bird sounding off around the place that I don’t know. I’m working on finding out it’s name. Never seen it, only hear it.

Gosh Pom, hope you don’t find any more birds dead:( Its worry.

My walking buddy is back from being away for a week in Qland.

So we walked eggs over to the lady who buys them off me. Took us an hour to do a round walk…sweet:)

Dry. Reeeeeeal dry. That’s why we love you so much. You’re not wet. Not even behind the ears :P

Awww, that’s so sad :(

Morning :)
I’m expecting a quieter day today!

Guess what.. I’m going to be invited to join the w’bee park heritage orchard committee!! This means so much to me :D But the last in the way of committee’s I will join otherwise I’m spreading myself too thinly.

There’s heaps planned for the orchard over the next year with festivals, harvest festival, blossom festival, and one extra per year for apples which I reckon should be named ‘hard core festival’, sausage sizzles, expos , sustainable gardening, grafting and pruning days. ect
I’m being grabbed for my cooking skills and making preserves and quince pastes for selling. As well there will be bee hives installed.. I can see honeycomb :)

Sustainable gardening and recycling is of special interest to me and especially a win win win situation I can see happening.

The businesses’ around can help each other in a very sustainable way whilst lessening our carbon footprint at the same time. The horse centre on one side can chuck it’s manure over to the orchard, then excess apples can go to the winery on the other side to make cider, which the orchard can sell as a fundraiser. Also collection of stormwater and greywater from the businesses to feed the orchard.

Becoming a committe member also means I won’t get stuck at the gate trying to convince security to let me in lol.. I’ll have a code :)

Busy busy!

good morning folks. still unpacking! I am getting fed up with it but there are still some things I need that I haven’t come across yet. Heading back to Melbourne tomorrow to pick up a couple of things left at the house and to return the trailer I borrowed. Made an appt. with the chiro while I am down there. My back has been holding up rather well considering but I am feeling the need for an adjustment.

getting there. will be glad when the unpacking is done and everything has found a home.

Morning. Just a pop in today. I have to do my stint at the Centre. It’s 30c here and it’s only 9:15am. I don’t think that’s funny. I went out onto the verandah and rested my hands on the railing. Pretty sorry I did that because it’s scorching.

I think storms are predicted for the next three evenings and I hope one of them rings true. It’s full time keeping things watered.

Chopped out the feral lychee from the native garden. A shame though because it was a lovely tree. It’s place has already been taken by a baby Grevellia “Shirly Howie.”

Be back this arvo. Stay happy you lot.

Woo woo woo!

This is the upside of the mystery rash.. It’s before 8, I am up and out of bed.. and I don’t have to go to work! (I was told not to come in until it’s been identified in case it’s contagious). This is even better than a weekend – we went to bed especially early last night to catch up on the sleep we missed the night before, so I’m actually moderately awake. It’s a rather odd feeling to not have the slightest urge to yawn at this time of morning =/

I will allow myself a leisurely breakfast, but then I’m going to gently potter for the day. Get in some washing and put some more on before it gets too hot, then I have plenty of things to do inside.

it’s a big bonus to have the space to pack everything away. but all the walking, bending and sorting does wear you out.

It’s Catch 22 Bon. It’s lovely in the bedroom with the aircon on, but I can’t stay in here all day and it makes going out horrible. I’m getting by with the fan as long as I can.

Plus aircon is expensive to run.

There are worse things on the internet to get hooked on.

My mother (who turns 69 tomorrow) is an online games addict. The most she does on Facebook is let us know her high scores in arcade games – bejeweled and tetris and bouncing ball thingies. Mostly because she is sick to death of tv, books aren’t interactive and she lives in a small village, my dad’s not a chatterbox, she has health problems and can’t get around much.

Gee, I’ve got much different plans for when I’m that age ;) just hope the health problems aren’t catching!

Now that sounds like qualified advice and I hope you heed. I learnt a long time ago that I wasn’t super woman and the world would still turn even if my bath was dirty. And I only had 2 children, unlike you.

lol! Def’ no supa woman here either, and the bathtub is grubby. I think the psych may have been referring to the emo’ me more than the physical. Well I won’t stop excercising (that’s what I call running about) lest my arthritus kicks in to stop me moving, or diabetes returns.
But at least i know I’m not insane, not yet anyway LOL.

It kills me tho’ when they ask when was the last time you had a holiday… as if that would fix things. Going away anywhere for an extended period only makes things worse in our lives, as we have found. A week is ok.
I replied ‘yesterday when I went to my friends for a cuppa’ lol!

I need more friends + cuppas in my life but this fulltime work lark puts inconvenient constraints on my time :(

My favourite holidays are when the rest of my family goes away and I’m home alone for, say, a week.

Nowadays when I have time off work I want to cram in as much as possible of the things I can’t to on weekends, mostly involving distances and travel.

they are in another paddock. I think the farmer rotates paddocks each day. But Chester had a visit this morning from a wild galah, who was sitting on the balcony rail next to his cage, with a couple more on the clothesline.

My uncles galah had a wild friend and they started leaving his cage open. It was a very gradual process but eventually he left home for good and joined a flock.

Morning one and all. Sort of dull here this morning. No storm yesterday but maybe today is going to be the day. It was a hot night last night. The first in a long line of hot nights to come I suppose.

Can anyone fill me in on where Dinetta has gone? She disappeared when I was away on one of my jaunts.

Was on the phone to my sister in SE Qld last night, I was in bed with my flannie pjs and woolly socks, under 2 doonas with the electric blanket on.

She couldn’t believe it!

Morning Pomolo. I can’t remember where D said she was going to, only that they were going away.

Cool and overcast here, really dull. But good for some photography ;)

Thanks HP. Now I know.

Morning.

Porridge is on and tea brewing.
The birds are chirping, the weeds are growing and the sun is out :) I have some garden stuff to do then spending the arvo cooking.
Another plum pud to make too. Two actually.

Good morning friends,
I’m back home and a miserable day it is too…I have heaps of washing to do :(

Spring is very sprung here at the Pomolorosa. Babies Babies everywhere. Baby Wallaby. Just leaving mum’s pouch sometimes. Baby Black Ducks. (4) Baby Moorhens. (4) Baby Crested Pigeons. (1) so far. Baby Kookaburra/s. Ready to leave the nest for sure. It’s hard to tell because even with binoculars you can’t see inside their termite mound nest. I’m just working on the time factor. Found an egg in a very low to the ground miner bird nest. Not that that’s amazing. They breed like flies round here.

All interesting observations and these are the ones I can see. Heaven only knows how many babies are happening that I am unaware of.

For Bubba: Native bees (I don’t know which one) have taken a liking to the pollen of my bedding begonia. There are always at least 3 with swollen pollen sacks flying from flower to flower. They do no like the white flowering ones though. Fussy little blighters.

I’ll be in the kitchen too HP. Lotsa stuff to make including the biscuit order.

got to go into Benalla today for an appointment (Centrelink have caught up to me!) so I’m going to check out the main shopping strip while I am there :)

They have definate likes and dislikes.

More baking to be done today. It’s mostly stuff I can freeze for Chrissy. I’m still looking for some of my usual recipes that I make for christmas. A ham & carrot & mushroom terrine one is missing although I know it’s here somewhere. If I have to go through all my recipe cut outs I’ll be here till Christmas eve.

Join us on the island if you want to. We won’t have much room but we’ll have heaps of fun and laughs/

Morning all!! :D

You guys will be so proud of me.. it’s 8:13 on a Sunday, and I’ve been out in the garden since 7:10am!!

I woke up very uncharacteristically early, somewhere around 6am, because I was too hungry to sleep. Watched GA while having breakfast, then thought, what the hey, instead of having my weekend morning cuppa I shall go and do some gardening! Only I forgot the dishwasher needed to be done (finally got the sewerage pipe unblocked last night), so it was after 7 by the time that was done.

I’ve just popped back in because it’s sprinkling with rain, so I thought I would have my cuppa while I check out the radar. If it’s only going to be light sprinkling rain I’ll get back out there.

Geez, normally I’d still be in bed right now :D

you’ve done very well bon, waking up early is not a bad habit I reckon’.

It’s a habit I’d love to have, but I usually need to sleep in on the weekends to make up for not being able to sleep for as long as I’d like during the week.

This week was a bit all over the place what with the mystery rash, so I must have a full sleep tank for the first time in forever!

I’ve got the backyard as grass-seed-free as possible – that is, I’ve pulled all the weeds but there are grass seeds all over the ground still :(

Still got the driveway and front yard (and eventually verge) to do, but the sun’s come out so it’s officially too hot – inside time until the cool of the evening. And actually then I need to be doing fruit fly stuff, more urgent than the weeding.

Morning all.
It’s warm and windy and I’ve already spent an hour or so out in the garden cleaning up, weeding the corn and mulching and trimming tomato plants. Got a bowl of strawbs for my brekky. I’ll be picking zucchs this weekend. First time I ever grew eggplant and they are coming along well. Small capsicums galore :)
I got Max a large marrow bone and at the moment nothing else exists, he’s lovingly gnawing it out on the path.

bump

Morning.

Up early today as its gonna be a hot one and the a/c in our car has run out of gas.

Need to buy food for the gang and cash in a boot load of bottles from us and the kids.

Also check the house we are baby sitting one last time, they are home tomorrow night.

rise n shine.

Oh yeah, it’s morning. It’s raining :) I’m taking it easy today, not. I have so much to do, cooking to do and gardening..pull out the rest of the tomatoes and clean up the fernery from the frame rebuild, and apple sices to make.
And I have still to rebuild the path side of the retaining wall from when some yobbos walking past threw some of the rocks onto the road. Rotters. But we were half expecting this sort of thing to happen, so it’ll need a rebuild using the biggest rocks, still have plenty in reserve, and make it a double wall with concrete in the middle. That’ll stop them from being dislodged. Then I’ll build a stepping stone path to the meter’s using all the left over rocks and gravel.

I have some, I think anyway, fertile eggs to set. Eggbert has been very busy! I’m just waiting for one of the silkie hens to go broody and I’ll pinch her for the chook nursery.. an empty worm farm tray in a small caged area on the patio :) I’d be happy with keeping just silkies after the Isa browns get too old to lay. They’re fun to keep.

might not get broody until Spring. Winter is a bit iffy for raising chicks anyway.

That’s a point too. But I doubt Eggbert will still be here in spring. Maybe, we will see.

From the old SEQ. Fine and sunny again. It’s been 3 days since we’ve had any rain. D is actually going to try and do some mowing.

I haven’t decided what I’m in for today. After a couple of small ‘have too’s’ I’m open for anything. The biggest decision I have to make today is wil it be inside or outside. I lurv retirement!
