Hello all,
its the 1st of may and i was able to start the chat woot.
spose no one is here
Hello May !
Morning green people , I didn’t get a chance to get on a PC yesterday..we were up and off early morning and back late at night and had a very long day , then when I did get on here last night I was falling asleep and the chat was slow going so I didn’t get to catch up. Will try to read up now.
Giant son underwent a whole day appointment at the RCH mental health , the full diagnosis review , IQ and med’s review , he quite likes all the medical poking and prodding , thank goodness, because it was intrusive and tiring for him, and us. Report in 2 week’s.
I must have driven 300 klm’s for the day too. Finally got him back to the unit at 6 pm ( from a 10 am appt) then on our way home called in to visit our sick friend in hospital and she has had several surgeries for cancer and the good new’s is they got it all :D
Now some chemo for her and there is hope …I’m over the moon about it :D :D :D
Good thinking, Veg.
Congrats on soccer team.
I rang GCCC yesterday after visit from Animal Management postcard left on Monday. Confirmed only one week to get rid of roosters.
Almost psyched up to do the deed today but when business hours get here will ring local wildlife refuges. They always need food and I know someone whose male poultry go to feed the pythons and raptors – at least. A bit sad. The 2 light Sussex have developed into nice big birds, 4 Speckled Sussex still scrawny and then there is a bantam FrizzlexPekin who is a little character. Should not have procrastinated so long…

Glad the son enjoyed play doctor and giggle pig……… hope the report is good…
Elf’s mum died 15 years ago today……. man time waits for no one…….
Morning All, Happy May Day :)
It’s pouring with rain here, which is good I know, BUT I’ve got a man with an excavator coming today to dig the big ditch that will be my new rosebed in the front garden. He rang earlier and said the rain wouldn’t stop him, but it was only light rain then.Oh well I’ll keep my fingers crossed. It does mean that I won’t be able to get out there and get into it though :(
HP, glad to hear the good news about your friend, that’s great. :)

Over in Yankie land…. May Day has been replaced with another word/title….due to the Russians making it a big/huge day in their country…. just can’t remember what they call it now. Heard that on the radio today.
well that makes perfect sense – can’t call it the same as the Russians, can we? rolls eyes
…obviously the cold war is still we and truly alive.

.. the report won’t be good, every IQ test thingy they do is lower than the last..last one was 71, borderline ID.
But we are unworried and expect this. The re assesment was to determine if there is any new dx , as his symptoms and coping mechanism’s have changed.
He has a ‘gap’ in his age that will never close, only widen’s as he get’s older. Eg when he was 4 , mentally he was 1 yo, when he was 10 , he was like a 3 yo ect. When he is 20 he may well have the mentality of a 9 yo.
When we were waiting in between test’s , he ‘became’ Pavorotti…singing with a deep voice and having heard the singer on tv, knew all the word’s , and what a beautiful tenor voice he has, entertained us all lol.
Whew… all blogs caught up and read…… helps when there are lots of photos…..
Off to find something to do.

One of the thing’s I,m making is an orange slice cream cake.. and my oranges are far from ready so had to buy a few.. I haven’t bought oranges in years and these ones arn’t a patch on my home grown one’s..I’m not impressed with them at all.
Woohoo! We have a huge trench in the garden, lots and lots of play for me to do now.(Not in the rain tho). The first thing is to get some weedmat to stop the lawn reclaiming the area. Then it’s buying in soil and mixing it with some of the stuff that’s now lying in small mountains on the lawn. Added to that will be lots of compost, horse poo, B&B and anything else I can lay my hands on.
Off to the B shop. BBL

or will I suppose. I am just back from making the delivery…Put off making the phone call until late morning and it was straightforward – as soon as I mentioned roosters lady said “you want to drop off some?” I also gathered up the dud bantam Australorp hens that have never laid very well or been friendly so now only have young stock and am still over my legal limit of 6 head. Feel pretty flat now – need to get out and do some physical work in garden to try to shake the mood.
I’ve ground to a halt here. I’m surrounded by stuff that doesn’t have a home to go to. I’m all out of boxes to take anything more to vinnies and my brains gone to jelly.
Time for a cup of tea and a think.
p.s. I’ve found THREE nebulisers!!!!!!

Hi folks,
I have been slaving in the ditch all afternoon. Came in at 5.30 when I couldn’t see any more. I’ve pulled out lots of grass roots and tried to straighten the sides but kept causing landslides. Levelled the bottom a bit so now tomorrow I can put weedmat in. Next step is getting some garden mix soil. :)
PS I’m stuffed.

good evening – well done – 3-4 pages is not a bad effort.
i worked all day and laid 2 courses of bricks.
i’m building a new front fence using the recycled fence posts and panels that were there – plus some brickwork. the whole thing is about 24 metres long. i’m on a busy road so about 200 people are casually following my progress (and my bum crack) as they fly pass.
i have become obsessed with this new venture and the garden will have to look after itself for a while.

Yes but not for a few years. Believe me I’m no cleanliness freak but the house had got so out of control I couldn’t stand it anymore. All I’m aiming for now is normality.
The boys are 16 and 19 and we’ve still got bath toys in the cupboard.

if the run-off from the hard surfaces drains towards the trench, it may be an idea to use plants that can stand a little wet feet when it does rain.
i bet digging the trench provided many hours of fun. will make for a nice hedge/border.
morining all…am i the only one up early?
one day a 16 yr old boy was sitting at his computer, waiting for one of his gardening friends to come on to talk to before school…….wounder if i could do some gardening early…thinks thats a bad idea ill get dirit before school….knock kock Anyone out there in cyber space???

Hi Aquarium, There’s one spot where the water drains into the trench, it was always boggy there on the lawn. As it’s only roses going in there I shall a) avoid that spot or b) put a bit of aggie pipe there. The existing soil is sand & limestone so has very good drainage except for that small area.
This morning’s progress – rain stopped play for the moment -
WoW that is one very deep hole LOL

its a fairly useless general observation – but i noticed that none of the old, but all of the new cookbooks, have got Cranberry recipes.

I think it’s a fad, Pepe, and good marketing of cranberries!
struth! – its a water feature?
=========
No, not intentionally so! That’s weedmat lining one side to keep the grass out of the bed. Also to make a bit of a barrier against the limestone and sand. All the light coloured soil you see is sand bound together by limestone. I have this info from Mr O40 who is a retired geologist :)

yeah it looks sandy.
whatever the mystery is – it is certainly a big one.
when you use a ladder to climb in and out of a trench its getting serious.
a drainage trench would make sense but sand is good drainage and i notice it doesn’t drain beyond the front fence.

No, not intentionally so! That’s weedmat lining one side to keep the grass out of the bed. Also to make a bit of a barrier against the limestone and sand. All the light coloured soil you see is sand bound together by limestone. I have this info from Mr O40 who is a retired geologist :)
yeah it looks sandy.
whatever the mystery is – it is certainly a big one.
when you use a ladder to climb in and out of a trench its getting serious.
a drainage trench would make sense but sand is good drainage and i notice it doesn’t drain beyond the front fence.
It’s no mystery :) This is not a drainage trench, it’s a new bed for some of my many potted roses. I’m filling it with new garden blend soil from the local garden suppliers, mixed with lots of my compost and Blood& bone and Seaweed pellets.

ok – sorry i missed that.
certainly the sandy soil is very hard to improve. your method gets you productive land quickly.
i probably missed it….what plants are going in Pepe?

g’day aquarium
its Orchid40s project we are talking about – and she has got the rose mania LOL
while you are there aquarium
is there any reason i shouldn’t buy ‘sodium bentonite’ instead of ‘calcium bentonite’?
the sodium is much cheaper (although i have serious personal concerns about too much sodium in my soil)

I also got the cook book I ordered from amazon :)
If anyone want’s me i’ll be knee deep in cake flour…
its a fairly useless general observation – but i noticed that none of the old, but all of the new cookbooks, have got Cranberry recipes.
This cookbook ‘ A Collection of Fine Baking’ the recipe’s of Young Mo Kim, is dated 2005 and has a single cranberry oat cookie’s recipe in it. They look yum too.
I did have a great day baking all sort’s of thing’s and learned some cooking secret’s :D
Made a fab cheese souffle, chocolate gateau and madeleine’s to name a few.
Wonderful cookbook :D
a rose is a rose by any other name…etc :)
would love to see someone use species, or at least the earlier cultivars, of roses. i think they come into their own in shear raw beauty; not just fancy flowers….besides being more disease resistant.

2005 is fairly modern. my wifes got her mothers cook books – you know – womens weekly etc.
the author’s name sounds asian and yet the recipes are french. i’ve not heard of young mo kim.

Afternoon Earth people,
I’m just in for a cuppa, have been working on the project all morning and just got back with a second load of garden soil. Went to the “B” shop for B&B and had their sausages for lunch. Nothing like a snag with onion in bread when you’ve been working out in the fresh air :)

Just took 3 mm of rain out the gauge from the other day,
Turned some soil where the green manure is going….had to stop for a spell…puff
I was talking to a man yesterday that was in Mackay during their recent downpour. His rain guage overflowed at 10 inches in the firsr 2 hours of rain. That’s heavy falling water.
Dead apricot tree is gone…..only the stump now…..
Plum tree stump is gone into the green waste recycle bin.
Ducks are quacking at all the hard playing the elf is doing….

He’s only human… I used to ride my bike to work, and whenever there were fresh muffins in my backpack, I soon learnt to pedal no handed, remove my backpack, open the bag, and then open the lunchbox and remove the muffin, stick one in my gob and then put my backpack back on, then hold onto the handlebars with one hand while scoffing the muffin…
They never made it to work!

What brand would that be??? I haven’t found one yet, but would love to know about it.
btw, did you know that plastic mixmaster bowls will break if you drop them? Am getting a price on a stainless steel bowl for the Kenwood. Had it less than a year. Serves me right for doing the wiping up, huh! Shoulda left it to air dry like I usualy do … mutter, mutter….

I just had a look at your machine at
http://www.kitchenaid.com/catalog/product.jsp?categoryId=310&productId=347
and it says it weighs 22 pounds – that’s 10 kg isn’t it? Is yours really heavy???
I got the Kenwood Chef last year and I really do like it, but because the bowl is fixed and the beater moves around, I can’t get a scraper in to scrape the sides down unless I stop mixing and lift the beater out. Pain in the proverbial with all of the one-bowl cakes I make, especially if I have melted butter or something sticky like treacle or honey or golden syrup in the lower layers.

I have a Chef as well and it’s a pain in the bum, but I won it so I shouldn’t winge. There’s a lovely Mixmaster on the market now that looks just like the old ones and the bowl turns so you can get a scraper in there. Maggie Beer has one on The Cook and the Chef.

Ar, you’re canny then. Mine cost nearly $400. That’s why I’m peeved about breaking the bowl. I had a cheap $100 Breville that I flogged for at least 5 years before I cooked the motor, but couldn’t find anything similar in this little one-electrical-shop town, so settled for the best of what was available.
When I was looking for a new mixer I decided that I liked the Chef because I can (potentially) buy little nicky-nacky attachments, some of which could (potentially) come in very handy when we’re growing/making a lot of our own food on the bush block. I haven’t looked into the cost of the potentially handy little attachments, so maybe I should ring the bloke who’s getting the price of the bowl and ask him to look that up for me too, hmmmm.

Astringent but it was the last one left. Not that it bothers us who don’t eat them anyway.

Yes it’s heavy.. it sit’s on the bench out of the way with it’s cover on, but I use it heap’s.
I have owned or used just about every mixer you can get here and this one .. well I just wish I’d gotten it year’s ago. It can handle anything without any drama’s.
You get an attachment with it for free..I think that change’s to a different attachment every 3 month’s. Depend’s on when you buy it as to what attachment you get/want. I got the ice cream maker and we have been using it unashamedly uncontrollably lol , it’s fantastic :D

Although it did take me a month to lose one kg .. blaming rhubarb muffin’s lol. But I’m getting there :D
Lot’s of the thing’s I cook go to friend’s/ aquaintence’s who order them. What it cost’s , I triple ( ingredient’s + my time + power bill/ delivery ) and that’s what they pay. I now need several rhubarb plant’s to keep up with the muffin orders !
oh and morning :)
I have a bander’s meet today with the usual clothes swap , I need smaller size’s now , and I have a bin bag the size of a Mini Minor full of clothes here to take with me , courtesy of other friend’s hearing about the clothes swap and having wardrobe clean out’s :D

Thanks Aquarium.
Feels like someone has whacked my shins with a lump of 4×2 – the Celtic Festival is at the top of a hill and my legs aren’t used to all that climbing up and down.
The Blogger site is supposed to be code-ignorant-person-friendly, so I’m reporting from that point of view. I don’t have the energy atm to take in new information.
Actually, in 2 weeks’ time I’m starting a web design module at TAFE, so I guess I’ll have to learn some of it then. Meanwhile, I’ll soldier on.
Today I’m supposed to be spending a couple of hours writing a mock job application to hand in at TAFE tomorrow. Think I’ll be falling asleep doing it tonight though – not gonna miss more of the Celtic Festival than I have to! If we’re living 44km out of town next year, and broke, can’t imagine that we’ll have the luxury of spending all weekend at the festival, so I’m grabbing the opportunity by the horns, buggerdammit!!!
Good Morning All!
A lovely day here, I’m off outside of course.

can’t find a thread about gardening books, so here goes.
i bought a book called “Organic Gardening in Australia”, editor in chief Pauline Pears.
it’s a rather heavy/big book but, unlike some “organic” books, it covers a lot of material. a lot of info i had no idea about. the planting charts are very detailed. if i had to pick one book out of all my gardening books, this would be it.
hit this imdb link http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110413/

that’s the fault of the other books for being so light on details. for example, when describing how to grow a particular vegie, most vegie/organic books merely mention a few varieties, say that fert is just like another vegie, and mention only one or two pests and diseases. With most of the several paragraphs taken up by self indulgent waffle.
btw this book takes the “mystery” out of “square foot gardening”….which is nothing more than planting vegies closer. you can plant vegies much closer than labels state, as labels are written for (long) row planting, where people/machines need to travel between the rows. anyhow, good book.

I quite like most of them but I fell foul of JW ages ago when he had a different (again) handle. Not a nice experience.
lol
actually i didnt mean scribbly itself, just the myriad of personalities that jw uses to continue posting (ive been on the recieving end of some really nasty stuff from that piece of work)
imho its the `socialising’ that makes or breaks a forum- gardening australia (the old one) shows exactly what happens when you try and kill off any attempts by the posters to settle in and make it a home- it becomes a very dead forum indeed
i dont post here that much (but im usually watching- i like to watch lol) but g.a i havent been there in months

and the difference to the rest of us?
:)
Well you do all seem to be fairly knowledgable to me.
I love my garden very much … but mostly my efforts are weediong, and I don’t have many questions about those anymore.
I used to have to post pictures of things that looked healthy, and mizm would always answer (in Scribbly, that was).
I’m spending a lot of time , well most of it these days, inside because my partner is pretty crook, but reading peoples’ enjoyment is good therapy.
waves hi to jj
im the same- gardening is mowing the lawn (what there is of it) these days
not much gardening to be done in a rented granny flat ;-)
but i do enjoy seeing other peoples efforts
( i love work- i can watch other people do it for hours!!)

can’t find a thread about gardening books, so here goes.
i bought a book called “Organic Gardening in Australia”, editor in chief Pauline Pears.
it’s a rather heavy/big book but, unlike some “organic” books, it covers a lot of material. a lot of info i had no idea about. the planting charts are very detailed. if i had to pick one book out of all my gardening books, this would be it.
i may look it up on ebay

We did the local gardening expo over and I have come home with a new Bamboo, oldhamii. I’ve always wanted a bamboo and because I had a large selection to choose from I thought I’d go for one that has edible shoots. Now where to plant it……………………….
you had more luck than me. i went to the native plant sale and they had all the plants i wanted. HAD. they were sold out. now i have to do some serious looking around. i need to plant my understorey in may preferably.

G’night Jim-Bob and Mary-Ellen.
there was a great tv show on parrots a moment ago. those wildlife photographers are good.
they called a yabby a ‘lobster’ – i wonder if they are going to sell it o/seas?
Back from my trip out bush, gees they got their moneys worth this time. I’m goin to bed.

Your lucky you got to see it anyway. I was set up ready to watch it and when it first came on there was no sound for the first 5 minutes or so. Eventually sound started. Normal running for a short time then screen went black. No more parrots. No apology. No nothing. Sometimes I wonder why I still have faith in television. It can be such a letdown!

did you get a “quiet mulcher” type mulcher, which uses a large cog to crush/cut; instead of the disc cutting type mulchers….these being next to useless.

Nope, it has two upright cutting blades (like in a blender), and also a spinning disk with razor type blades set into it. No idea how loud it is, but the guy at Bunnings said it was the best one of the ones they sell (this was after we had already decided on it).

Straight to bed for you young lady.
for fear of being a little pushy/unpopular……if i were you i would consider changing to the “quiet mulcher” type….which actually works; unlike the shredder types, which only work at the bunnings demonstrations where they’re cutting pine. there are stacks of ryobi and other top brand disc cutting shredders on ebay etc…i think that speaks for itself.
anyway, hope you don’t regret buying the disc shredder later.

No worries aquariam, I am a complete DIY/power tool novice and always happy to listen to advice :) We’d been thinking about getting one for ages, even asked for one for my birthday, but parents couldn’t work out which was the best one (dad’s POV is just “get a petrol one” and I definitely didn’t want a petrol one). If this was any kind of computer equipment OH would have spent days and days researching on the net, but in the end we decided just to see what Bunnings had, and look up the most expensive ones.
This one was the most expensive one and the main thing for me was the 24 month warranty – decided just to bite the bullet and try it out rather than procrastinate and not end up doing it (that is the usual way in our house :)) Our shredding needs are actually really small (450 square metre block!) – most branches would be less then 2cm and I don’t prune that often. So we went for the fingers crossed and see what happens approach :)

not good timing because have plans to fly to visit my mum and dad on Thursday.
i did the same thing a while ago, i.e. “bite the bullet” and bought a Ryobi top of the line shredder. after spending a whole afternoon with clippings mostly tangled in the blade, and not even a bucket of mulch to show for the effort…i returned it. thankfully Ryobi was running a satisfaction guarantee through bunnings at the time. so i could return the useless expensive machinery.
after much research i later bought the “quiet mulcher” type machine also at bunnings, which happily chews through loads of material. it’s also not very noisy, as a bonus. i’ve never heard positive feedback from anyone who’s tried a shredder. they’re always problematic and end up sitting in a shed or sold on ebay. not many people know about the “quiet mulcher” simple technology, and most inadvertantly end up with a useless shredder.
most bunnings staff know little about these things. they sometimes run a demonstration turning perfectly suited material into mulch with a shredder. unless you own a pine plantation, the disc shredder won’t work properly on typical materials suitable for mulch.
i don’t want to ruin your day with all this rambling on about the matter….i do though want you to have a machine that will actually work, for all that money spent.
i know how hard it can be to believe things without experiencing first hand. and i’m no guru on this…just my experience/knowledge up to now about mulchers.

I was doing housework.. but the poor neglected hubby with his pleading puppy dog eyes asked if there is any more yummy rhubarb muffin’s…nope , it’s all used and I said I will get a couple more crown’s of it at the nursery, he will have to wait … pffft he said , just buy some!
So off we set in search of some decent rhubarb…1 st fruit shop crap stuff,,2 nd shop even worse, all wilted , supermarket one was $4.98 for 300 grams !! I got some of that one but chopping it.. tough as old boot’s.
Now he is telling me to definately grow more of it lol.
This non gardening bloke also put a half green lemon on the window sill to ripen….I must try and explain a few basic’s lol.

Hello I planted out three orchids this morning. That was good.
:D
I’m watching episodes of Gardening Australia that I have recorded but not yet watched, so I am gardening in spirit if not in fact… :)
Sounds great bluegreen!
:D
Today as I went about my daily chores of collecting some sea water for the fish I encountered an octopus.
I put the container in to the water at the edge of the water and it has a black lid and this is connected to the white container by a bit of black plastic and this surrounds the opening of the water container.
I had placed the water container in the water and was being buffeted about by the incoming waves a bit and this tentacle reaches out and grabs hold of the black lid! I watched in amazement!
I kept filling up the water container with sea water as the octopus felt/touched the black lid and the connector of the lid to the white container.
I just watched it. The container soon filled but I did not want to disturb the octopus so I watched and waited until about ten minutes later it let go.
I looked immediately to where the tentacle had returned to and even though I must have been looking right at it I could not see it.
It was an amazing experience. :D
Talk about the joys of nature.

Hmm. I’m pretty sure the one my dad has is the “shredder” variety – big red, petrol powered thing, and he’s never had any trouble. But also very different to the one I bought.
No worries, I shall just cop it on the chin if it doesn’t work out! Since it’s not something that’s critical for our day to day routine I won’t be too upset if it doesn’t work out well. If it does turn out badly, I’ll be trawling back through May Chat to re-read your info more carefully and then I’ll be hitting Google grin

Oh bluegreen I just couldn’t quite believe it!
If you’re still about Spocky, I reccommended you to someone on Aussies Living Simply. They have a rescure parrot (eclectus) that they’re trying to rehabilitate and I thought you could help.
They said they’d check out Scribbly but if you’d like to go to them it’s at……
http://www.aussieslivingsimply.com.au/news.php
In the Pets and Native Animals section under Scabby Parrot.
Okay is it a feather picker Bubba Louie?
Is this in the member’s section. I had a quick look but couldn’t find it. I might have to join up.
Tell them a cheerio from me and that I am in Scribbly a fair bit.
g’day
nice octopus story ms spock.
my seedlings are growing much stronger now thanks to aquarium’s fertile soil mix – so thanks fishbowl – and BTW – i have used your formula to help out someone in the GA forum (under edible garden – ‘growing in pots’ most recent topic).
very trying day today.
i tried cutting bricks to lay them on edge and it didn’t work because of the three holes. damn – now i’m procrastinating ‘what to do?’.

No it’s not a picker, just in very poor condition from not enough to eat and a tiny cage.
I should have told you that you’d need to join. They did say they’d look in at Scribbly.

I bought my own copy of Linda Woodrow’s Permaculture Home Garden, because I read it years ago and liked the idea of the movable chook domes in a mandala garden setup. I’m just having a read now on different sites that I’ve found through a search engine, about the pluses and minuses. Not sure it will work in the very cold weather. Hmm.

http://members.iinet.net.au/~helcreek/Chook%20stuff/geodesic.htmAnd an idea for making cloches in situ, to protect crops from early/late frosts:
http://www.allsun.com.au/GardenClip.htmlStill looking … :-)

I bought my own copy of Linda Woodrow’s Permaculture Home Garden, because I read it years ago and liked the idea of the movable chook domes in a mandala garden setup. I’m just having a read now on different sites that I’ve found through a search engine, about the pluses and minuses. Not sure it will work in the very cold weather. Hmm.what are the urls for the sites.
Here’s a few I like at first glance.

ok, its a good site i talked to the owner of the farm yesterday at tocal and his wife they seem very nice to me.
Ooh! Even found a local lady teaching Permaculture. I nearly went to the course she refers to on her home page, but the timing was wrong for me – plus I was broke.

Evening All,
I’m here with my aching back etc. Boy if I don’t lose weight by the time this project’s finished I’ll be annoyed!
A bit of good news, Mr O40 found some chook poo for my compost yesterday. Hooray! It speeds up the composting better than anything :)
Pepe your harvest looks good. Nice sized sweet potatoes :)

Today as I went about my daily chores of collecting some sea water for the fish I encountered an octopus.
I put the container in to the water at the edge of the water and it has a black lid and this is connected to the white container by a bit of black plastic and this surrounds the opening of the water container.
I had placed the water container in the water and was being buffeted about by the incoming waves a bit and this tentacle reaches out and grabs hold of the black lid! I watched in amazement!
I kept filling up the water container with sea water as the octopus felt/touched the black lid and the connector of the lid to the white container.
I just watched it. The container soon filled but I did not want to disturb the octopus so I watched and waited until about ten minutes later it let go.
I looked immediately to where the tentacle had returned to and even though I must have been looking right at it I could not see it.
It was an amazing experience. :D
Talk about the joys of nature.
Don’t you just love those special moments?
Pepe your harvest looks good. Nice sized sweet potatoes :)
thanks OC
the freshly picked sweet potatoes cook very quickly – i overcooked this time. they are a terrific new crop for me.
evening PM – i don’t knit – even with 2 needles.
interesting cultural tour tho.
Cheers pepe,

hello ms spock
morning
rain here in adelaide. still warm – 20 degrees – so good growing weather.
those fresh veges for tea last night have made me feel good today. i had them as ‘bubble and squeak’ for breakfast too. i must try boiling some kale in water and drinking the water (cundalls longevity soup).
hello Lucky
morn all.
I’m having a break from everything food related, recipe’s and book’s ect and spending the day out in the garden :)
The fernery need’s a bit of attention..one fern hasn’t grown fron the day I planted it about 2 year’s ago so it’s comming out and replaced by another pretty varigated fern that’s just come up on it’s own (probably dropped spore’s in the pot of the fern I did buy ) and is right at the path egde but it’s a tall thing so it need’s to go to the back. Got several more bag’s of horse manure ! The fellow was happy to give it to me but I started to feel a little guilty as he bring’s it to me , so he agreed on $2 a bag, sugar bag size.
Getting down and dirty :D

We have spent $$$ on scrips so far this fortnight….7 of them for the elf…no money for mine until Tuesday next week….. by then my throat should have cleared up… I hope.
$47 I was quote yesterday for the elf’s 2 scripts… after I picked myself up off the floor I said we were on a pension….. that lowered the price.

Magpies are out the front singing their song. I think their song would have to be one of the most beautiful song I can listen to by a bird.

oh I agree, and such contrast to their black and white feathers and savage looking beak :)
Yesterday the elf was throwing chunks of small dried mud at the wild birds eating the ducks pellets. Just to scare them off……
Anyway he hit a bird:( and came and got me…..
Well the little top knot bird was just laying there blinking….stunned.
I picked it up to check on it and the bird flew out my hands into the fence near the compost bins. As I walked to it… it climbing the fence (or should that be stagger) and flew into the chook fence.
I caught it this time and as I was checking it over to see if it was okay…. if regained full alertness and I was left with ALL its tail feather in my left hand…….
Sure did look funny with no tail as it flew away….

not much you can do when birds fly into windows – occasionally one is stunned and dies of shock. i think if we walked into an invisible wall we would be in shock too.

Fallen in a heap for a few minutes.
Sorry to hear you’re both still sick, Lucky and BG, that’s no good.
I feel there is a strong link between stress and frequent illnesses, it seems to affect the immune system. Get better soon, both of you.
Bubba, I hope your son is OK.

All I can say is juice with vitamin C. Drink the whole 2lt bottle in a day.
Rain please. We want some rain. Things are looking a bit grim. There is a row of Durantas between us and our neighbours and they are all drooping. Durantas are as tough as old boots usually.
Must mention here that one and one only of those shrubs is not affected and it has a white headed pigeon nest and baby in it. Why would that be? It’s not as though birds would constantly wee and keep it moist.
Going now.

Elf remembered his emergency pack of antibiotics…… so I have started then today. Bimbo was going to give me some $$ to fill mine out…. Been waiting since Monday…. given up on her. The ears are now infected by the feels of it…elf is off to his specialist by himself today.
oh Lucky, you are supposed to be looking after yourself :(
should of told the doc you were having trouble buying the antibiotics, he may have been able to give you some “sample” packs to start you on.

i wonder how they manage to keep pure breeds when so many random chooks are wondering around together?
I imagine that they’d pen a pair when they were wanting to breed and use the free range eggs for eating.

I have the TV on here and I was listening to the topic of Grant Hackett and his “beer belly” after a 10 KM swim for the China Games……
Boy its tough in the lime light……LOL
Bet the people saying he’s over weight, couldn’t swim 10 KM ….people are so fickle….
I bet they couldn’t Lucky—I haven’t seen the pic that they are talking about but I bet he is pretty fit—he would have to be
Grasshopper said:

Last thing I think anyone wants after a swim that long…is to be told your fat….
Grant is taking it on his chin like the true champ he is.
Yes He seems a nice bloke—most of the swimmers seem to be—but then I really wouldn’t know
How is the weather your way Grassy???? Over cast and cool here.
Beautiful day here Lucky about 24 and sunny
After today we have 6 days of sunshine from what the weather man said last night….. garden is responding well and the little vegie seedlings are booming along.
So glad of the showers of rain…saves 1 job for me to do,.
Yes Lucky we had 2 weeks of steady rain day and night this week has been almost perfect weather

No didn’t feed them anything Orchid…but the area they went in was where the chook’s hung out , until I swiped a bit of land off them. Didn’t water them either, just got what rained on them.
I don’t know a lot about growing them, but next time I’ll get the seed potato’s.

Well I hope mine do as well as yours, I’ve just ordered my seed potatoes from Diggers. Dutch Cream and King Edward. I won’t get them till June, by which time I’ll have lots of lovely big pots empty that the roses were in. Bunnings had them growing in pots last year.

ill be at school, i cant have a day off.hope she comes after 4:30pm.
hey veg. a home made card is good, and a big hug and “I love you mum”.
Mum’s are big suckers for that.
you could also make a coupon book of things you could do for her. So if she gives back one of the coupons then you do that thing for her. Things like hugs, the washing up, sweeping/vacuuming the floor, making her a cup of tea/coffee, etc.

you could do well to market your tip up here…
oh..much shorter version…..after many many years of searching for something that actually works…..product = QV deodorant, with white screw top cap, and bought at chemist. it’s a roll on and costs a few bucks….every time i looked for a solution before all i could find was aluminium based products that don’t work to stop the odor.
i used to get embarrassed on trains back from work, as i could smell my own armpit odors. now, apply in the morning, and still not smelly at night. happy indeed to finally have solved that problem.
QV stands for?

Lol, spray fresh , dont waste a wash , remember the old add, was in the early 80’s I think ?
that’s a brand name….they also make some non-toxic creams and such. btw the deodorant is scent free.
aquarium said:

i am a bit smelly all the time. cant run or do anything.
yes, yes…people that don’t have the problem can’t appreciate it. i could (and did) wash several times a day, and use various deodorants/antiperspirants etc, to no avail. the aluminium based antiperspirants are actually awful, as they do nothing to stop the bacteria, and extremelly difficult to wash off. my metabolism is such that my skin temp is fairly high, which is a perfect breeding ground (in the armpit hair) for the odor causing bacteria to flourish.

maybe give the QV deodorant a go VG. i’m so happy with it, that i’m posting about it….regardless the personal embarrassment such a post can be. i think it was like $6.50 at the chemist.

it has a lemony flavour and you eat the leaves – lots of vitamin c.
probably worth a try.
flavor is probably a bit more like rhubarb than lemon. like rhubarb also has oxalic acid, which is good for you in limited amounts, i.e. not eaten every day. anyhow that omelette is a nice change from the usual one.
another (common) variation is an omelette with ham and peas (from can).
Cheers

I’m going to drag my body out back to piff the chook’s a grain or two then have a lie down..hoping I can be awake at 8.30 am to cancel this appt or I’ll have to pay a cancellation fee, and I’m in no mood for a cranky receptionist (this receptionist is alway’s cranky!)
She better watch it i’m spitting venom this morning heh heh evil laugh
I,m surprised it’s still going!

It may as well not be
morning.
i have turned the compost for a second time. it is now too wet and has no heat. when i gave it its first turn it was hot but too dry – obviously i have overcompensated – waterwise.

you could also make a coupon book of things you could do for her. So if she gives back one of the coupons then you do that thing for her. Things like hugs, the washing up, sweeping/vacuuming the floor, making her a cup of tea/coffee, etc.
Bimbo used to make voucher books….little bugger used to put expiry dates on them though…ROTFL
Expire dates is funny. LOL.

I take 3 types of meds and the cost of them certainly puts a hole in the pocket.
I saw a one day hand over $100.0 only got a few silver coins back:(
Getting to the stage where its to dear to get sick……Boy hate to have a toddler no a days needing medication.
I have seen MrP hand over $100 for meds on a couple of occasions even though we are on a pension and get them at a cheaper rate. As an exaMPLE mp HAS TO TAKE 15 DIFFERENT TABLETS WITH HIS DINNER TONIGHT. Excuse the caps. Buggerdammit.
Crikey Pomolo……. Mr.P must rattle round the house in the evenings.
He rattles round in the mornings as well.

Hi Longy and Pomelo—yes I hate thos quotes a bit over the top sometimes—no rain around at all Longy—although they say there may be some here Sunday—I think they might be wrong
Hey Hopper, Pom and Pepe.
Yes i recall suggesting those quotes could get a bit out of hand when we first got on this new site.
Copy and paste still works you know.
My limes have a sandblasted, grey appearance on the skins. Fruit is still fine. I’ve read before about what the problem is but i can’t find it. Anyone know?

MrP is not allowed to eat meat of any type from now on so we are having a go at being vegeterians round here. I made chic pea & veg patties for tonight. Not too bad I suppose but it will take some getting used to and some foreward planning.

My pumpkins get a kind of grey overall colouring when they’re near ready. I think it’s like a furry mould. Doesn’t hurt anything.
My limes are fine. I pick a few buckets a week. Just that they are
dull and sandblasted looking.
Had another gander thru my books. Buggered if i know where it is.

I guess having a chef as a mum helps…
my mum is a good cook when it comes to simple, healthy meals, but never went into fancy stuff and didn’t really have the time/energy to teach us more than the basics.

I went back and got one.

Woohoo :)
I’ve had my big heavy chopping board over 5 year’s and it’s a beauty. It live’s on the bench with a big roll of plastic wrap behind it , with the wrap cutter it’s just easy to put a plate of something or meat or whatever on the board, pull the plastic wrap out and cover it in a jiffy.

oh good – something to stretch your back upward for a change.
well done on the trenching – i think mixing the sand back in was a good idea.

Thanks Pepe. I think I’ll leave the arch to Mr O40. He’s taller with longer arms and he’s bought posts I couldn’t possibly lift!

ill take a photo of the model house when i am done ok.
is this model made of cardboard or balsa wood?
it would be good to see .
carboad and some foam stuff it would have been out of balsa wood but it was to thin.
Hmm. No one here.
Going up to Tweed tomorrow to see the kin.
Drinkin, fishkin, talkin, laughkin, etc.
Should be good.
Got an absolutely perfect, almost ripe tomato for Mum and some pickles, limes and pumpkin. (More kin).
Bro’s youngfella got a floggin and a kickin at the beach a few days ago from some big angry bloke, so being a good uncle i told him i’d come and chew his steak for him. (Charges were pressed today. What a drama.)
Anyway, nuthin a bit of fishin and a laugh won’t fix. (If he can see by then that is.)
hi Longfella, bad news about the young nephew. Hope the other fellow gets his just desserts. Have a good time mixing with the kin.
Ta BG. I’ll have a good’n. That bloke will get his one way or the other.
Bit of a weirdo. Plenty of offers coming in apparently. Scary!
I’m looking forward to going fishing though. I haven’t been in years. Might get back into it in a big way i think. I used to love it, even if i didn’t catch anything i could spend days fishing. Then i got a house on 2 1/2 acres..
Tuckers on. Masalama.
used to do a lot of fishing when I was a kid. Family would go camping a lot and fishing was one of the activities we used to do. Nothing like freshly caught perch grilled over a camp fire. still have a rod and reel.

I have been viciously attacked by a mob of marauding bromeliads. My arms are covered with welts scratches lumps and bumps and it HURTS.
I’ve taken two panadol and two phenergan and I’m going to bed.
Ungrateful wretches. I’ll never go near them without long sleeves and gloves again. :(

I just started pulling off some dead leaves and ended up in the middle of them. I always get carried away when I start something like that.

Get a prezzie and that is about it….. off doing their “thing”
Why do plant scratches hurt so much. I’m all prickly and itchy.
I always put a Mother’s Day lunch on for the elf’s mum……but not having mum’s us 2 adults don’t really push it……. figured it s the kids place to do a lunch or breakfast or what ever…….Maybe when they are parents it’ll be special for them….and me again.

foreign matter or sap in the scratches? allergic reaction?
I had my neighbour’s son come and knock on the door this morning….Elf was out the back chin wagging with the guy next door.
Has an awful asthma attack and Luke came to the front door to raise the alarm…… inside and on the nebuliser…..Had to help the elf inside…. he was sitting on a cement pot I use to keep the shed door open.

I was up earlier than what I would have liked, but later than Mr BG would have me get up. Then we went to breakfast at Pancake Parlour, bought myself some carry-on luggage, then back home again. But having read HP’s efforts I am all tuckered out and ready to go back to bed again! lol!

lol BG … I found a problem too…stagnant water at the base of the orange tree , it stunk and I invesigated..couldn’t see a reason so I went right away from the tree and looked at a distance, the tree is lower than the other 2 citrus…chook’s have scractched so much mulch into the area, from what I have added too over time that the tree trunk was in fact getting buried. I have dug about to let that water off and will shortly set about lowering the soil level all around it. Now I know why the tree was stressed. I hope I know what I’m doing ! lol.
I,m going to get extremely muddy :D

Right cuppa over..yard clothes on…time to tackle the poor buried citrus…the dirt is up to the graft…I oughta be slapped…but not too hard.
LOL Pepe ! while in ‘garden’ mode keep going and get stuff done you wouldn’t otherwise lol. hey I’d like to visit you too when in SA ??..time yet to be decided…

you would be most welcome here HP.
Ok who’s making the cuppas ?
I’m absolutely trashed. Dragged myself inside muddy boot’s and all.
I have taken 20 cm of dirt off around the poor orange tree and now what I have done is simply make a bloody giant moat around it :( .. so I have to get the wheelbarrow in there and take it away. In this pic you can barely see the mark on the trunk where the dirt was up to ( better pic after) .. now it’s clear of dirt , no wonder it was suffering .. although you can’t tell by the tree itself as the fruit is lovely and just starting to colour.
Oh just got a ph call.. visitors !! ARGHHHH.
I’ll put a sign on the door ‘ sorry they just moved’.
Arvo All,
HP, that’s a lovely looking citrus, obviously not stressed at all. By doing what you did I expect you prevented future problems :)
Pepe, that’s a sweet Hakea, one of my favourite Natives :)
I’ve knocked off for a while to do something other than whatI’ve been doing the last 10 days.

It may have lasted O40 but in time it would have died for sure.
I wish I knew where all that dirt has come from though. No sheep manure is recognisable, so that’s composted perfectly and added to the soil.. but it wasn’t tonne’s !

ps looks like a carwash that uses recycled water is the source of the leigonairs outbreak here. More are sick now.

you will get pics when it has some shoots showing, and fingers crossed for some flowers (they are last year’s bulbs so we will see how well I treated them.)
the carwash thing is a bit of a worry, I guess they are going to have to do a check on how they are being managed.

The drainage problem is solved, I spent the day fixing that with drilling a million little holes in a long pipe, cut it to lengths, made trenches and laid the pipe in on gravel and sand. It will drain onto lawn one end and the path the other end . . I’m so glad I kept a bit of both, never know when you may need a bit of gravel.
Now all I need is a decent downpour to test it.
We had a beautiful orange tree in the house we rented… had wet feet all winter as the water from the roof was directed in that area…. loved the winter rains:)…beautiful fruits in the 4 years we rented.

Lots of little books he grew up with, ordered through primary school….. feel like the last traces of him are now being lost in the clean out.
It can be tough when loving a son as much as what I do…….
Like a trip down memory lane… found my electronic diary……now how did that wind up in his wardrobe???? Cats are having heaps of fun, supervising.

I was across town with youngest daughter taking her to a job interview , she get’s lost going around the corner… No sense of direction that one…Her 20 th birthday is in a few day’s and she’s getting a GPRS!Oh and she has a new spring in her step..thank’s to a new ‘Mr. Possible’ who is a 6 ft 8in’ AFL Reserve’s player…shes 6 ft 1’ and hate’s that she is tall and most boy’s she meet’s are shorter.
Now off to the B shop for gypsum , ‘course I won’t look at any plants LOL.
BBL
looks like win, win for youngest daughter. My youngest daughter is the same re self navigation. At 23 she can now get herself around a bit by public transport but during her school years there were many an occasion where we had to go collect her at the end of the bus or train line because she had missed her stop! She still is not confident enough to learn to drive.
and as for your shopping trip – be sure to tell us about any plants your buy :D

how sweet they are still there and he has not thrown them out himself! you could give them away knowing they will provide joy for another mum and her child, or keep them for reading to grandchildren….

This daughter has lost top job’s because she couldn’t find the place, even though she was in the next street. If she get’s this one ( will know this wed) I will have to get her to follow me in her car couple time’s until she gets used to the route. She is working part time atm but want’s a change.
I hope your daughter get’s the confidence to drive soon.
Re B shop..was all their fault for having a plant sale …2 more rhody’s, a tall mauve and a pink… potting mix for them and the gypsum and some potash…bugga I’m running out of big pot’s lol.

===============================
Going to keep most of them for his children, including his sewing he did in early high school (pencil case)
Photos of him when he was a toddler…. his smile could melt the planet back then…… I look at those photos and think of “what if” when he was tangled up with drugs back in high school….
I am so proud of him (& Bimbo) on how he has over come to make himself a better man…….
Also saw all those cute pic jumpers I knitted him when little……. going to knit some of those for my stall…
I hope he finds a lovely girl and has a good life…
Awww hug’s Lucky , is that…empty nest syndrome ?
——————————-
Yeah…. last time we did this sort of clean up he was in high school and he was busted for drugs…. he sat in his corner of the room and was so angry….
We had a stranger in our mists and was packing up the life of a little innocent boy we lost. We saved his early life and its packed in the shed…. for when that beautiful boy returns…..
He is slowly returning……. slowly……to us……things he does… and what he says…….shows us he did listen as a child and has values we are proud of….
He even smiles at stuff he made as a little kid…..

I’m looking forward to buying an orange tree later this year:) Your tree looks lovely HP:)
Thanks :)
The drainage problem is solved, I spent the day fixing that with drilling a million little holes in a long pipe, cut it to lengths, made trenches and laid the pipe in on gravel and sand. It will drain onto lawn one end and the path the other end . . I’m so glad I kept a bit of both, never know when you may need a bit of gravel.
Now all I need is a decent downpour to test it.
sounds good – although a million holes sounds wrong – count them again. lol

We had a beautiful orange tree in the house we rented… had wet feet all winter as the water from the roof was directed in that area…. loved the winter rains:)…beautiful fruits in the 4 years we rented.

Good Monday everyone – Where is everyone ???
daughter has just gone home – thus no puter time for slow old pepe.
she’s done a terrific job cleaning up the raspberry brambles here at our place.
Oh and she has a new spring in her step..thank’s to a new ‘Mr. Possible’ who is a 6 ft 8in’ AFL Reserve’s player…shes 6 ft 1’ and hate’s that she is tall and most boy’s she meet’s are shorter.

a lot of tall people do develop stoops to be less conspicuous too.

hello all, been a busy atfernoon here, now playing catch up will chat when i am up on top of the chat.
up to the top wasnt many post today
Evening All,
Ah I see you all had a good excuse for not being here when I was this morning. Don’t worry about getting notes from your Mums ………..:)
I’ve just sat down to a nice mug of Bonox after my toiling in the soil. Again.
Lucky, I so know how you feel about Jim-Bob. I spent a lot of time wondering if my No1 son would ever join the human race, or conform to society or get his hair cut! He has now done all that, got a good job, got a lovely girl, and has justified my belief in him. He was here with GF yesterday showing her old photos of when he was a baby etc. The bond between sons and Mums gets a lot of testing sometimes doesn’t it ?
HP, I’ll keep my fingers crossed that your daughter’s “possible” turns out to be a “probable “
And I so empathise with her and BG’s daughter, having no sense of direction is a bummer!
HI Veg ! What’s new ?

nothing much, just watered all the gardens. the tap for bed 5, 6 and 7 hose was broken at the tap, when it connects lucky it wasnt underground and then some sprinkers for bed 3 and 4 where missing and had poped off, bed 2 and 1 had to be watered via hand and plant pots as well as no sprinkers are near bed 1 and 2.

I tipped a few weeks to get results. Was i close or what?

lol, do u mix anything in with the water when you water them or anything? tell us how to grow some good peas

Mate, i use well drained, rich soil that already had a crop in it, like corn or spuds. Then i lime the soil. Best part for my climbing peas is that i used my own bamboo to make a trellis. Bargain price.

very nice, i use dam water and may be every sunday night ill go out there with the watering can and use some wellrotted horse poo water mixed with dam water on the plants think thats a good power one for them, may get dad to get me some Seasol.
Sounds OK. Watch out watering at night. They get mildew problems. Morning is best.
So what’s the deal with the chook run extension?

Wow. That’s a floodin.
I water by hand. Every day when they’re young and less once things grow. I have some great tomatoes at the moment and Pak Choy by the bucket full. Do you grow PakChoy? It’s great at this time of year.
the link for it is http://www.allsun.com.au/Electranets.html, this may be best to be moved in the the polutry thread.
$250.00 i think

Crikey! You can buy 100m of netting fence for that.

It must take untold time to get the footage that they do. They must have researchers finding out when things like that are going to happen, staking out the areas for months. It’s all awesome stuff.

I thought I was the only one to , for want of a better word, ‘abandon’ my child in order to get the propper care , medical attention and education for him, and respite for us and his sibling’s.
After a massive rage drama year’s ago..I stood in a police station and yelled loudly them and to DHS person there “ What part of I am not taking this child home , do you not understand”
Really yelled it several time’s.
But I find I’m not alone and I don’t have to be scared to tell people this fact.

maybe “Life in Cold Blood” is the last of his “Life in…” series, but will still do single episode shows.

the numbers of aspergers/ autism children is very high. the trouble is conjuring up ways to help them cope with everyday situations. you and i seem to have found ways of coping, but they go into panic mode at any difficulty.

oh you are not alone. a lady who used to work where I am had to have her daughter committed as she was a danger to others. she was convinced that if she wasn’t locked up she would one day commit murder. such a hard thing for a mother to do, and it was she who had to convince the doctors and authorities that her daughter should not be allowed out in public.

Yes…eg I can walk over to my pc desk and pick up a pen and notepaper to write something, but giant son would go into a complete tizz about what pen to use..the black one or the blue one and he can get extremely upset about it.
He is paranoid, suspicious and negative. A compliment even, can be perceived as an insult.
i wonder how we do cope with extreme disappointment?
there are all sorts of strategies – like using music to create a favourable atmosphere – yet noone has cracked the code for getting these children back into a functioning everyday mode.
difficult – especially when you realise whole generations seemed to have coped with wartime.
i spose being surrounded by insanity is different .??

Giant son can be helped into ‘well functioning mode’, but it never last’s long.
Survival mode.. one does what one has to.
just a quick note that (having come from european background) i’ve noticed especially here in australia a lot of sarcasm and group status quo type negative behavior. i think some of this (especially the frequent sarcasm) may be at least in part responsible for paranoia in people.

the numbers of aspergers/ autism children is very high. the trouble is conjuring up ways to help them cope with everyday situations. you and i seem to have found ways of coping, but they go into panic mode at any difficulty.
Yes…eg I can walk over to my pc desk and pick up a pen and notepaper to write something, but giant son would go into a complete tizz about what pen to use..the black one or the blue one and he can get extremely upset about it.
He is paranoid, suspicious and negative. A compliment even, can be perceived as an insult.
some would say that a lot of the things we do are insane….there’s people of totally sound mind and body that do terrible things…and we’ve got companies and governments bent on destroying the environment so there’s no future. some call in progress.pepe said:
i wonder how we do cope with extreme disappointment?
there are all sorts of strategies – like using music to create a favourable atmosphere – yet noone has cracked the code for getting these children back into a functioning everyday mode.
difficult – especially when you realise whole generations seemed to have coped with wartime.
i spose being surrounded by insanity is different .??
morining all.
just a quick note that (having come from european background) i’ve noticed especially here in australia a lot of sarcasm and group status quo type negative behavior. i think some of this (especially the frequent sarcasm) may be at least in part responsible for paranoia in people.
——
that group behaviour is called a ‘clique’ and asperger children are often frightened by not belonging to a group of their own.
BTW aquarium if you want to conform to our group behaviour you scroll to the bottom of the quote before typing LOL.
i feel like having the day off today.
Morning.
The sun’s out :D It’s been so grey lately.
Mr. HP and I have an appointment at RCH , a follow up and report from giant son’s all day assesment , ( the child himself is in school and not required at this appt), so we are going to make a day of it and spend it in the city, window shopping and check out Federation Square , Art’s Centre , new building’s and the riverwalk . Might even do a slow boat cruise down the Yarra :)
It’s our ‘just us day’.
Last time there I noticed those poor Elm tree’s are so moth eaten, I hope the program to save these beautiful tree’s work.
Be good :)

surprising – although i believe that corporations have developed a mentality of a psychopathic killer – there still is a future. more worrying for me is the trend back to aristocracy. the pollies and judges granting themselves annual 7% pay rises and denying it to everyone else is conspicuously unjust.

morning cackles and BG
yes i am about to return to the fencing.
Did anyone look at my new garden ornaments – photos under may Pictures. I am quite pleased with them – they seem to be made with copper wire so at $27.30 each didn’t seem so expensive – if in fact that is what the wire is.
I spent all day in the vegie patch yesterday. Lifted some Turmeric and now need to look up info about using/storing fresh tubers. So far I had left it in ground and used foliage for poultry feed and mulch. Likewise with the Arrowroot.My Jerusalem Artichoke plants died right back and I haven’t dug down to see if they produced and crop – this being the first year I tried them. I am trying to clear some weeds and re-do swales across my front, fairly steep slope but am a bit limited not being able to use long-handled tools like hoes because of wonky shoulder.
i saw the only piccies in may pictures cackles. i wondered what fine leaved, topiary plant you were going to grow over them.
pull up your jerusalem artichokes – they resprout. which reminds me i had better plant the small sweet potato tubers that are sitting in the sun.
The whole front garden is dominated by a tree and is in dappled shade most of the day so I am re-thinking plants and will be dividing and re-planting things that like more shade as am losing some others. I want to use mainly perennials, preferably self-seeding. I have found some seedlings under my flame trees and Cascade Lilly Pilly, Powder Puff Lilly Pilly too so am nurturing them. Took a heap of documentary photos yesterday morning – always interesting to look back on.
Finished planting out the last of bought vegie seedlings but still have a punnet of Violas which I keep changing my mind about! Was going to put them in a Strawberry Pot but given that my cat, Mabel just won’t stay out of pots, they would probably be doomed there. Might put them around edges of Vegies after. Lifted and replanted pieces of Wormwood and sweet spud and planted out Pawpaw seedlings, put advanced lemon-scented tea tree in chookpen and have another to go in – hopefully to screen it from biddy on other side of Colorbond fence. Used lemongrass and l-s tea tree tip prunings to strew over vegie beds in hope of deterring cats and masking Brassicas from insect pests. Getting a few small grasshoppers around – been drenching with hose and catching for chooks and ducks.
“i saw the only piccies in may pictures cackles. i wondered what fine leaved, topiary plant you were going to grow over them.”
lol – they are still sitting on top of my chest freezer atm – where I put them to photograph- to send to my sister “Pictures of your Xmas present to me = attached”. Will probably put them among some foliage – not really big enough to grow anything on. But another sis gave me a wire “egg basket” in shape of chook a few years ago. I tried to grow mondo grass around it and some vine over it – with limited success but your comment reminded me to try again – maybe with a deeper pot this time as only used a bonsai/succulent type shallow dish previously.
you’ve got enough happening to start your own topic cackles.
my wife has made up wire frames to topiary. her little creeper is a partial success (will post piccies later). however she potted with local soil and consequently has soursobs coming up – which means she must repot sometime.
lol – trouble is I have so many “in progress” things – lately have been doing a day at a time in various areas and trying to at least get them watered – but always run out of time before jobs are anywhere near finished!

yeah i’m working on half a dozen jobs at once and still planning more in my head.
My gardening is an ongoing rotational shift, so sooner I get around it all, the first area is due to be done again !!
evening all, just in and out for a bit.
Hi, PM, How are you ?
I’m pseudo exhausted but peachey keen as always.
Hopefully the world will slow down soon…

Hello! I’m back home for a few days. Good to be home. I love being home. It hasn’t rained yet so the plants missed me. MrP and I went for dinner by limo to the Hilton Hotel last night. I could probably get used to that kind of lifestyle.

Feral Teenager has Asperger’s. He’s come good, though, a rarity it seems.
I blame it on his parenting ;)
I tried to abandon him, oh about 4 or 5 years ago, but I did it nicely, asking for help. Got me nowhere. Fortunately I had an old caravan in the yard that became his bedroom, and a neighbour who’d been a social worker, to get us through the worst patch.
Now he’s the shining star in Year 12 and “heaven on a stick” according to one teacher, who didn’t know him in the bad old days. I’m so grateful now that I couldn’t get rid of him when he was beyond feral – cos I get the kudos for him being a good kid now!!

people with Asperger’s don’t intuitively pick up social mores, they have to be taught them. One of the reasons why they can be difficult. But they can turn out to be high functioning and delightful adults.

Oh, the hours I spent trying to explain why you say hello back to people when they say hello to you, and why people carry out inane small-talk conversations. The linguistics studies in my BA helped me a lot. Since he was about 15 and had liberal internet access, he has studied up these things off his own back, and by george that’s made a difference. Now he chips me about my social inadequacies, lol! I suppose the genius IQ is what’s saved him from being ruled by his Asperger’s. (I’d like to blame the IQ on his parenting too ;) … great genetic input!) I told him years ago that it’s not a label, it’s a handle – gotta figure out how to get hold of it and make the best of it, that’s all. If you know you have AS, you research what other people know about the syndrome, and apply it to what you know about your own personal capabilities. Fortunately he has the intelligence to get his head around that kind of stuff.
A friend’s daughter has AS too, but I’d say she’s further down the functioning scale than my lad. Musically gifted and artistically talented, but intellectually she struggles. One of her AS symptoms is that she hates being touched; but because we get along well, I make her give me a hug each time I see her. She says she’s getting used to it :) … after 3 or 4 years of it! But because she wants to not hate being touched, and she likes me, she lets me hug her. According to her mum, nobody else is allowed to hug her, not even her own mum. I feel very privileged.

Lovely to have a picture in my head of what you’re talking about. I think your cubby/gardening shed is a corker! Your mum told me about things going missing out of the kitchen and turning up out there – I think the sieve you’ve got hanging from the ceiling was the start of that conversation.
One thing I was going to ask you about was mulch. You haven’t got any mulch on your vegies. Is there a reason or have you just not been introduced to the wonders of mulch yet?

That’s great Yeehah ! How proud he and you must be :D
I know many similar and have followed their live’s for the past 12 or so year’s ..wonderful young adult’s now :)
But with my son , and I know other’s like him, it’s the comorbidities that make life hard. If he was ‘just Aspie’ there wouldn’t be a problem.
OCD + severe behavioural + major sensory problem’s+ short term memory loss + severe anxiety+ generalised anxiety disorder and social anxiety , yes 3 different anxiety condition’s and ‘double’ depressive disorderlow, verbal/ high performance.
Now it seem’s the Drs think he has some sort of psychosis. That took our breath away I can tell you. A new med from tomorrow to treat that, an anti psychotic ‘Abilify’. That has one positive in it, his old med’s , which are going to be stopped, were causing him to have an increased appetite , and lowered his metabolism resulting in huge weight gain’s. He is 161 kg . He gained 25 kg just in the past 4 month’s. Now we are told that excess weight will just drop off him as quickly as it went on.
I need a stiff drink.

do you feel that he is just a guinea pig for all the different diagnosises (diagnosi?) and medications? I know that these situations are rarely straight forward but is it like, this one didn’t work so let’s try that?

“do you feel that he is just a guinea pig for all the different diagnosises (diagnosi?) and medications? I know that these situations are rarely straight forward but is it like, this one didn’t work so let’s try that?”
These day’s BG it’s much more intricate , diagnostic criteria has many guideline’s so it’s not so much guess work nowaday’s. All of the dx’s are part of a bigger picture that will emerge more clearly as he age’s. With the medication’s that is a bit of ‘hit and miss’ because what suit’s one wont suit another ect, but now look’s like we might be on the right track.
God willing.
Just about to chuff off to another appointment , psychologist’s, so will be back later today. I want some play in the garden dirt time :)
g’day
i managed to shred the raspberry brambles and my second compost heap has started. it usually takes a month to build a heap.
two courses of brickwork done and another two today – hopefully.

My youngest daughter is the same re self navigation. At 23 she can now get herself around a bit by public transport but during her school years there were many an occasion where we had to go collect her at the end of the bus or train line because she had missed her stop! She still is not confident enough to learn to drive.
====================
Sounds like she needs a GPS. You can get handheld and screen mounted types, and they tell you “turn left in 25 metres” etc.. They come preloaded with Aussie maps so all you have to do is tell it where you want to go and it gets you there. Too easy.
The prices of them have dropped heaps recently too.

we were going to get her one once she got her licence but she never did. just found traffic was too much for her. I had a GPS until someone broke into my car and stole it :(
GPS units can be wrong sometimes though – might be a big problem if you have no sense of direction to fall back on?

Our house doesn’t egg-zist on some GPS maps…….
I think they are pretty good..
Maybe in Sinny where they change roads to funnel traffic onto pay-roads they might get caught out.. Haven’t heard of it though.
But that’s what mobile phones are for.. If she gets lost she can phone-a-friend.. Or a parent…
arvo all, been kicking my soccer ball around.

What did you eat? I want a blow by blow critic. LOL
Not that much to report really. I could say that the limo drive was better than the food but that wouldn’t be kind. Even though it’s true. It seems the restaurant has just started having meals from different countries on different nights and our night was Asian. They still had some Aussie seafood and a couple of roasts but none was tempting enough to go back for seconds. The hot food was stone cold. The Asian dishes were unidentified (I should have mentioned it was buffet style.) and unidentifiable. Most were exceedingly hot, as in chilli hot.
Enough of the details. This night was given to us by #1 daughter and we shall treasure the thoughts behind it forever. Still a swanky hotel and the staff deserve all the praise because their service could not be faulted.
Have since heard they put on a beaut breakfast. We’ll try that next time I reckon.

Sad it has been such a struggle.. But I can relate to the weight. I was 184kg before I started losing. I’m now 153-154 and plateaued.. More effort required, I know.
>I’m getting a new fridge……:D:D
Woohoo!
Good for you, well deserved!
hi CollieWA
off on another track:
just to let everyone know that (since now i’m single again and can do whatever i want) i’ve covered the extensive glass windows and sliding doors in my place with bubble-wrap to prevent heat loss in winter….as previously the central heating would blow all night. i haven’t lost my marbles. it’s a temporary measure, and effective might i add, until such a time as i save the thousands required to install (normal size) double glazed windows/doors.
i think that’s it for me for another night.
don’t feel like doing the ironing tonight. now that i’ve also removed the centrally located young ash tree (become compost fodder)…i think another vegie garden bed could be planned. they can’t stop me! :)
night all
>i’ve covered the extensive glass windows and sliding doors in my place with bubble-wrap to prevent heat loss in winter…
Foil with the shiny side pointing inside makes a good difference, but I’d reckon only on windows which don’t get warming sunlight..

Ironing? I’ve heard of that…

Yes I know, foil is also good stuff.

Anyone watching “Numbers”? The good guys were just hiding behind a georgous creeper.
Indiana Jones rerun is on…how could you possibly be watching Numbers ;)

That has one positive in it, his old med’s , which are going to be stopped, were causing him to have an increased appetite , and lowered his metabolism resulting in huge weight gain’s. He is 161 kg . He gained 25 kg just in the past 4 month’s. Now we are told that excess weight will just drop off him as quickly as it went on.==============
Sad it has been such a struggle.. But I can relate to the weight. I was 184kg before I started losing. I’m now 153-154 and plateaued.. More effort required, I know.
Hi Collie , yes we can’t wait till he is at a more managable and healthier weight. He is very excited about it :)
I hope you get over the plateau, I’ve been on one for week’s, and yes more effort required on my part too.
And so near to goal ! At the end of the day, there’s only one way to lose weight..
I think I have to stop cooking lol.
boyyy won’t be any sleep tonight for me.. massive drama’s with you-know-who.. and it involved a knife , capsicum spray , the real hot hot spray this time, several police, two of whom had gun’s drawn and ready …. the kid is in the bath atm and his father is trying to wash his red raw skin.
Where’s that milo. Does scotch and milo go together ? I’ll let you know…. just hope I don’t get sozzeled and start singing….
As Ned said..Such Is Life :/

Postscript…I had to ring the hospital to ask them what can one do to relieve the pain of being sprayed with Mount St Helen’s Legal Limb Remover and they said wash it off with cold water only..even tepid water is too hot…so a cold bath it is for the wailing child.
Note to self, grow chilli plant’s LOL. oh I’m awful.

Well I’ll knnow who to go to for info next time.
Gee HP, you’ve had a night and a half haven’t you? May the force be with you.
I visited Bubba Louie on Monday when in Brisvegas. She loaded me up with plants and yesterday we found homes for them all. Your Broms are safely in a new section of our understory garden Bubba. The creepers (Clitorea) are well planted with room to grow. The Ctenanthe/Calathea are as background for the Broms. Looks great.
Don’t think saying “I’ve got no room” when I offer you some plants when you visit, will do you any good. I owe you heaps. Thanks buddy.
Mumma Pomolo is off on another bonding trip on Sunday. This time I am much needed in Adelaide. I’m sure my kids are having a contest to see who needs Mum the most.. Thing is, no one asks mum what she needs. LOL.
So get out the red carpet Lucky and hopefully, Pepe. I am going to try and do some visiting while I’m there. I’m totally dependant on son taking me to and from so I don’t know when I’ll be able to visit but I’ll be intouch.

Oh HP, however do you cope? It must take on nightmare qualities for you and Hubby sometimes. I feel for you both so much and think “what would I do if he was my child?” I just can’t imagine. Like Pom said, “May the force be with you “

Morning All,
Just a few minutes here and I’m off out there again. Yesterday and today I’m painting trellis for the arbour. have decided it’s too serious to be an arch and the wrong shape anyway.
TIP
Never volunteer to paint trellis, it has countless surfaces and you think you’ve finished it several times before you stop finding bits you missed!.
Rain is forecast for later so I’d best be gone. BBL

I am guilty of ribbing females publicly – so i had better say – it is absolutely amazing how youse feminine types can work out the colour, height, texture and growth patterns of plants quickly and plant them all in a way that works. well done pom – and i hope you can make it here when you are down south.
i heard thunder this morning – gone down south.
i had better do some work before the rain comes tomorrow.

aw thank’s girls but half the time I am in the funny farm..it’s here lol. I guess when you have no choice , you do what you have to. And many more in similar situation’s like us.
It is a bit tough when you have to remind family to shore up emotional strength for thing’s that may happen like when he attack’s police , next time they just might shoot him. And how it won’t be their fault.
My garden really is my sanctury. My friend’s a life line.
Here’s one for the chook owners:
Gecko in chicken egg may be salmonella breakthrough
Doesn’t attempt to explain why a gecko might like to explore a chook’s bum… :)
garden matter’s…I have been out there in the beautiful sun doing heap’s..made a little wire cage for the little lime tree..I want to make sure it survive’s it’s first frost at least. I’ll put plastic around the mesh after this cuppa.
I noticed that the celery is now above my knee height and look’s fab and if I harvest it now, how do I preserve it ? Blanch and freeze just doesn’t seem like the way with celery..but I don’t know…there’s 7 plant’s of it ! Any help appreciated :)
Oh I have the food dehydrator too, a Fowler’s Vacola one and I have been drying bunch’s of parsley …there’s going to be bun fight’s over this machine, grandson want’s it to dry dough ornament’s, girls want to make sugar free fruit leather’s , hubby want’s to try the beef jerky and I want to dry herb’s. There’s a line up lol.

geez you’ve done well – mines angle height.
the home grower doesn’t harvest celery like the shops. you pick it several sticks at a time from the outside, leaving the plant to grow on.

HI PM and Lerkers….
Beating the rain here…. been to Hollywood and scored a green carry bag of greens, 2 green carry bags of bread rolls, left over bread rolls in a black bin bag, stuffed in the 4 wheel drive, food and home…now to walk (puff puff) to Food and as the cat food is on special there…..
Then home to recover and wait for the rains……
Gone again….

Aw Lucky , I’m just a regular mum , with a tough kid that’s all.
But the real fun hasn’t started yet, giant son is being booted out of care in July, straight back where we started from with the lad at home full time. O joy.
But… there is a little glimmer of hope on the horizon..at least re housing . I have inherited a house..a McMansion with not much yard, 3 level’s pool gym in basement , big room’s ……will get that later in the year and all family have decided that this place will be for him to live in, with one or more of us living with him at first.
We were planning to sell it and give kids a start in life , but had a family conference about it and the question was asked.. who would be the least likely of our family to have a job to pay for housing.. who’d need it most…unanimous decision ,give it to giant son.

Little bit of worm wee in rainwater .. daily.
I sort of thought that’s how home grower’s used it. I shall use what I need to now then and will keep covering it at night from frost’s :)
Thanks.
we have frozen sticks of celery after blanching, they are okay for soups and even stirfrys, just not that crispy when they drefrost, but the flavour remains….
——————
Yep thank’s too PM.
I do use a lot of it finely sliced , so I might do that with some of it and chuck it in casserole’s frozen. I add it to bolognaise sauce too but it is minced for that dish.

Matthew Flinder’s getting shat on the head by a seagull..
Big screen , in federation square , when this is on you can stand in a certain part and dance stupidly and watch yourself on it.
Too scared of height’s to go stand next to the window !
Part of federation square.
River walk..which we didn’t end up having time to walk along.
Couple cook’s being filmed for a tv show, in Fed’ Square.
Autumn colour’s
Art’s Centre spire. Didn’t get there either.

It’s just somewhere we can house him in the short term , with room for other people to be there and space for them to get away when needed.
It already has most of what is nessesary to house him ..cement rendered double brick wall’s can’t be punched. Has security door’s and double glazed safety glass. Coded door to pool. It’s safety that’s an issue and this place is perfect.

we weren’t exactly rolling in it either but we used a motorbike and camped. MrBL quit his job to get his super and sold a bike. I used my savings and sold a German dressage saddle.
We were young and roughed it around Europe, I couldn’t do it like that now.

It’s just somewhere we can house him in the short term , with room for other people to be there and space for them to get away when needed.
It already has most of what is nessesary to house him ..cement rendered double brick wall’s can’t be punched. Has security door’s and double glazed safety glass. Coded door to pool. It’s safety that’s an issue and this place is perfect.
aaawwww geeez…… Hughie is cooking with duck again:( he so likes to torment me….

Say hi to your dad for me VG…. hope he is up and about ASAP:)
Good morning all :)
Just back from collecting 2 “shade trees” that the council makes available per year on a rate notice. Actually this was with my neighbour’s notice – she is not interested in picking up her allocation – so my gain :D. I used my notice a couple of months ago and scored 2 nice lemon-scented tea trees (L. petersonii). Today they only had various types of lilly pilly available – the last pickup for this calendar year. I am pleased with the 2 that I brought home a S.Cascade – which I like – already have one and was looking for another and S.tierneyanum aka river cherry or water gum. I plan to plant it in main chookpen as screening from back neighbour :)
It is potluck what comes from their nursery on the truck at a particular visit to the local collection point, unless you make arrangements and get a special order. The full list of offered species is here:http://www.goldcoastcity.com.au/t_standard2.aspx?pid=7559 At my instigation the council has added the species name to what was originally only a list of only common & confusing names.
Off to take pic of new trees and plant out at least the latter. :D
Lovely day here.
- rain and wind – will have to reschedule todays workload.
…and… dada!… first egg in a month.
- plus i saw a skinny looking, long beaked, honey eating bird – probably the eastern spinebill.
- all i had to do was open the front flap of the hothouse to get a bit of breeze blowing thru the pot plants.

Funny when my foster Dad died, he hung on till I got there and his natural son and was gone within hours after that, very strange !!
Poo Bugga Bum.
I’ve been hanging around waiting for the manager, of a very popular guitar shop, to confirm that youngest son could do work experience there. We’d been told by one of the workers that it should be OK, but the manager said they already had two kids for that week and couldn’t take any more. He was very sorry but it’s a disapointment.

A big music shop within walking distance will take him in the CD section. Not on the floor but working out back. Just have to run it past him.

Scary happenings here…. must be why we are getting all the rain.
Last 2 nights we have been sitting down at the table for a 6 pm tea. Tonight will be the same….
Not sure how I am managing this as we at one stage were scoring tea at 7 pm or later……
Strange going ons in Luckyland.
early dinners eh?
Well I am currently meant to be a few hundred kilometres from here, but “mi nogat balus” so I am stuck in Moresby until the morning… so its BBQ time and GF is just marinating some ribs :)
Are BBQs popular with the PNG people??? How do they usually cook???
Lucky1 said:
Are BBQs popular with the PNG people??? How do they usually cook???
there are quite a few roadside vendors with hotplates (re roadsigns) and they cook up cheap cuts like Lambflaps and necks and the greasier the better… the street Kai bars (takeaways) sell a lot of deepfried gear like balls of flour deepfried in century old oil, or again cheap cuts deep fried.
Ice cream is massive up here, everyone gets into it and the yellow flavour makes your tongue go yellow, the purple flavour makes your tongue go purple and so on…
BBQs are good because they tend to be early evening or even afternoon social gatherings and locals use buses to get around (not so many at night, and dangerous) and the expats tend not to travel as often as you do in Aussie.
Thanks for all that PM about what they cook….. guess I thought it would be over open fires with lots of meat and sort of like stir fry sort of food.
bbbrrr…
lit a fire – i’m drying clothes by it.
i took some ash and charcoal out the fire- a winter gardening topic maybe – what i did with my charcoal.
9mm of rain so far – and much appreciated.

HI Pepe…. elf had to unblock a gutter (only done a few weeks ago too) gum leaves…. so he had a shower as he got wet. So I popped the heater on here for him.
Spag bag cooking away as I listen to the rain…. must get some garlic bread out of the freezer I made too. Grate the parmasan cheese as well:)
Another meal at 6 pm …I’m on a roll here:D
at home, they cook over a wood fire, or a kerosene stove, and they eat a lot of rice and 2minute noodles… they will cook heaps of starchy gear like sweet potato, cooking bananas, pitpit, in coconut milk and serve with rice. Tin fish and corned beef will be added also… they like cooking chicken pieces in coconut milk and served with rice.
for a party though, they will make a Mumu, where big round river rocks are heated in an open pit fire and then all the meat is wrapped in banana leaves and placed in the hot rocks.
still raining? cool?
Hi Lucky1
if you wanted winter – here it is.
one downpipe isn’t flowing – must look at it sometime. i was on the roof last week and i know all the gutters are clean.

timing is difficult though – in Darwin such feasts took about 4 hours once the rocks were hot, food wrapped and buried.

I’ll get you a shot of a kero stove.
Pitpit looks like lemongrass but you peel the outside leaves off, then eat the bulb(ish) insides after they have been steamed. It’s a bit spongey but I like the taste.
They love smoked fish up here.

Indeed pepe, a Mumu is an all day event, and is worthy of a good celebration. A good social event for the community.

i was looking at my spinach which was planted on december 1st. It has lived under the shadow of the corn and now under the expanding kale and is finally coming good after 6 months. I was thinking hot spanakopita (sp?) – filo pastry, feta and home grown spinach.
you’re right i love me food.

Evening all,
Just a quick hello before I go hunting and gathering in the pantry. Leftovers today, Shepherd’s Pie for Mr O40, and Chicken and Chorizo hotpot for me. Fresh home grown carrots too :)
All the roses are in ! The arbour is finished! Looking good!
Just have to get rid of the moon mountains on the lawn now.
It’s been windy today and we had a little rain last night.

I always came last in running races….. I won the race in Year 7….. getting ready for the area sports day…
The teacher couldn’t believe it and made us run again… I came first and was for the first time in a running race:D
I was so proud of my effort… so wanted to run in a race….for my school:)
My dad moved us all back into the outback before sports day came round…..sob….still hurts all these years later…LOL
Go the pensioners…..:)

I take my shirt off too if I was there with them…. bugger embarrassing the elf or my family.
I just have to see who I can, do what ever I have to, plead to whomever I can, media even , to make sure my son is never in a position to have gun’s pointed at him ever again.

I’m glad you’re going to take it further. I thought how awful to have a gun around when I first read your plight.
Buggerdammit! I’ve got to go again. BBL.
I read the comments under the story about the pensioners protesting in Melbourne, from that link I popped up.
Comments ranged from agreeing with them protesting to the shutting up and crawling back to their oldies homes.
The budget will never keep everyone happy…. glad its not my job to spend that money.

It’s so hard to get kids to understand about lifes down sides. They don’t happen all that often really but when your a teenager it seems as though the whole world is against you. It’s lucky his Mum is there with broad shoulders.

O Dear. No good crying over spilt milk.

The only time I ever came anywhere but last was when another kid fell over, and then they still nearly beat me.

I rang his music teacher and he’s ringing the manager of another shop. Nothing’s definate but #2 son doesn’t mind after all. He’ll happily go to the CD shop if nothing else comes up.

my spinach meal was ordinary. i didn’t have all the ingredients.
i’ve had a run of failures this week – the pancake rolls fell to pieces because of the poor flour. then again it could be the cook blaming his ingredients.
so quiet here….i can hear myself think. and thinking is dangerous.
might call it a night…and read my new book from fishpond.com.au mailorder books = d40x (my digital camera) field guide.
there might be an opportunity to take pics of hailstorm tomorrow.

Hmmm in the cooler weather no, I’d water it once a week….sort of neglect it at this time of the year……well I do.
Those cloves will be full of water and you don’t want them to rot. Once the winter rains are gone…I’d water them a bit more often.

Yeah…just keep the weeds away and see how they are going on a weekly basis…. if they look like they need a drink… give them one.
With my garlic I always put a lot of thought into where I plant them out each year.
Some areas of my garden in winter are more wet than other areas…..

Morning Earth people,
It’s pouring with rain here! I’m SO glad I watered yesterday! So often when rain is forecast it just doesn’t happen here. never mind eh?
I don’t think there’ll be any outside activity today, so I’ll make a cake, finish the ironing and do a bit of cleaning. Not a very exciting plan but something else may occur to me.

Sounds like a better use for it and you don’t have to worry about spilling the fat out of that stupid little driptray thingo! Neighbour has one and I was amazed that that bit of it seemed to be so flimsy – well I am clumsy with arthritic hands and knew I would be spilling it if I had one! :)
Well I had a productive morning. I finished the ironing, cleaned a bathroom, made a chocolate and coconut cake and a health cake with bananas and citrus peel and cinnamon. Plus other bits and pieces like bed making of course. Suppose I’d better get lunch now.

It had been getting very dry here again too. I hope it’s over the catchment.
spent today scraping grout from shower recess. still got more to go, before putting new grout.
also went around window frames with silicone to close all gaps.
i’ve also bought a couple of rolls of the wall insulation aluminium foil, which i’m going to put up underneath the roof tile wood beams. got a battery powered staple gun for the job, as my hand operated one doesn’t have enough guts for such hard wood.

Morning….. its wet and cold here today (beauty)
So I am going to frog (rip it, rip it) a cable cardigan I knitted for the elf a couple of winters ago…. too big for him.
Then I treat the wool to remove any pattern memory and when the wool is dry I’ll ball it…. then ready to reknit again……
I’ll be lerking real close like…. for time out as I am sure I’ll need it…..
About to take a pic of the cardi and then boot the elf off the kitchen table and move it over to the big window for more light…..
Morning All,
I can’t find the right thread so I’ll do it here. We have had 31mm of rain in the last 24 hrs. Good, Eh?
It’s not continuous rain this morning so we can get out occasionally and do some sand shifting :)

Same here, Pomolo – a lot of thunder and lightning about midnight but very little wet stuff! Still, I enjoyed the sound and light show :)

Decided not to go to Brookfield Show. Big part of consideration was that don’t have any warm clothes – well long pants and didn’t get around to trawling op shops…Today is first time this year I have needed anything warmer than shorts and tank top.

evening all
when i come on some1 has just posted i think that mean my brain must be wired to some1 elses.
Oh my goodness my computer is going v e r y s l o w l y because I am downloading GA episodes still. Got 10 so on the ‘puter so far, another 2 still going. I think the fact that my laptop hasn’t much oomph is part of the cause (sorry, I am totally unable to translate “not much oomph” into technical terms) PLUS I am sharing the internet connection with two other users, one being the Feral Teenager who is c o n s t a n t l y downloading books from the Gutenberg Project (or at least that’s what he blames it on!).
I swear I only clicked Submit once last time and loaded my comment twice, but strange things are happening in this alternate s l o w computer universe atm.
BTW, hi VG! Sorry, am unable to talk to you at the top of the list because I am very s l o w l y coming up the list from down there —>

I think the fact that my laptop hasn’t much oomph is part of the cause (sorry, I am totally unable to translate “not much oomph” into technical terms) PLUS I am sharing the internet connection with two other users, one being the Feral Teenager who is c o n s t a n t l y downloading books from the Gutenberg Project (or at least that’s what he blames it on!).I swear I only clicked Submit once last time and loaded my comment twice, but strange things are happening in this alternate s l o w computer universe atm.
BTW, hi VG! Sorry, am unable to talk to you at the top of the list because I am very s l o w l y coming up the list from down there —>

ok, i have an idea, pull our FT’s cord leaves ur and Mr.Y on it and tell FT that he cant blame it on other stuff.

Not a new idea, laddie ;)
He gets his plug pulled at 10pm, so last night I got a few downloaded relatively quickly after that.
I just want the 2 that are loading to finish, cos I wanted to sit in bed with the laptop on my knees and watch an episode or two with Mr Y.
My plan is that when I go to TAFE tomorrow I can leave Mr Y instructions to keep clickin’ and load a heap more.

Harumph – just clearing my throat for a lecture, young fella – here it comes!
Spelling lesson: When you have a common noun (that is, not a proper name) and it ends in ‘y’, what do you have to do to it before you add the ‘s’ on the end to make it plural?????
Remember nearly coming first in your maths test has taught you that “nearly” is not what you want! So if your spelling gets better, that makes up for the last “nearly” doesn’t it?

Question one (you have to answer this!): what is the correct plural of “cry” – “crys” is not it!
In response to your comment – can’t remember seeing the computer, sorry. And probably not worth getting a wireless broadband router – if you’re gonna leave school at the end of this year, you might end up with a job somewhere else and then he’s spent all that money for something that’s not going to be used any more. Give the poor fella a chance ;) after all, he’s recovering from that operation, as we all know!

And I bet your mum reckons there’s enough crap in your room without cluttering it up even more, LOL!
And your parents are both doing the responsible thing keeping an eye on what you get up to. The Feral Teenager has had the computer in his room for 18months now, and I know he looks at stuff he shouldn’t oughta (he tells me that he does – but not what).
Each parent has to make decisions about what’s best for their kids (and/or their sanity) so your parents get my respect for having that stance about the computer.

i took the afternoon off – thinking it was going to rain. but no rain, in fact a beautiful day.. i did some indoor work.

heyas green people..busy here sorting through a doz or so more cook book’s I found in the top of a cupboard I can’t reach.. one can only have so many ‘ 50 way’s with chicken’ recipe book’s.
I’ll pass them all onto freecycle :)
Oh and I collected the gardening book’s last night, they are ‘ Home Landscaping’ by Paul Shepherd and Pamla Toler,
‘Nature Fact’s : Flower’s ‘ by Lys De Bray ‘ ( oddly it has no botanic name’s of the flower’s , just the common name’s ) and ‘Growing Ferns ‘, Bay Books Australian Gardening Library.
I’m yet to read them, but the fern book is beautiful.
I’m off after lunch to visit people at my old work place , this time in a Guest coat, and taking cloth bag’s and a little money to get some cheap goodie’s at their intrnal shop :D
Good morning – just a brief visit atm:)

its two hours later than when you asked – but yes – we are getting a bit of fine drizzle.
i went into town and did a few bits and pieces
i walked into a bookshop and had a look at the gardening and cooking shelves. the top five bestsellers are all about health, organic and vego way of life. i think it must be a movement.
Hi all.
I had a great day at my old work, many not recognising me :D
Was terrific to catch up with past co-workers.
They want me to come back ! (not happening )
Got lot’s of goodies and a box of freebie’s :)

Linda Woodward. I’ve had it on my bedside table for ages, keep picking it up and reading a bit more.
Not convinced about the chook domes, although I can see how it could work. I think we’re going to end up building a permanent house for the chooks, with fox-proof and roo-proof yards that have fruit trees incorporate and hail netting over the top to keep the birds (ie parrots, cockatoos) out.
Much thinking is being done about the way we’re going to set it out.

by that rainfall i know you are not in the hills pomolo – they got 100mm, and you’re not in the riverland – they got 5mm – so you must be in the city – i think?

No, no rain here. A taste of winter though!

Hi O40 :)
I can’t stay long either!
I have to turn house upside down to see if I can find some 20 yr old investment records for the accountant – racing the clock to avoid a late-lodgement ATO penalty for last yr’s tax return. I had put money in some unlisted property trusts in late 1980’s when they were what investment advisors advised you to… Finally last one disposed of after many restructures, name changes merger etc then being listed in later years but of course the share registries don’t have records prior to them taking over this century…Not even sure I have original papers as hardly recognisable as same entity and besides that am missing the 03/04 annual tax statement -need to find out if there was any “tax-deferred income” – the joys of the cap gains (well losses in this case I think) and I’m shuddering at what accountant will charge to try to sort out – oh also complicated by re-investment schemes, rights issues, growth and income units – if only I’d known! Not sure what is to happen if I can’t reconstruct the history…

Hi E—
Hiya Grassy me ol m8 LoL
morning :)
I’m having a mini spring clean , so we can go away next week ..and hope it look’s the same when we return lol.
The amount of thing’s that I have had to draw up list’s for..looking after amimal’s mainly, but other thing’s like ‘ if you make a mess on the stove do not clean it, leave it for me… otherwise they will take a metal scourer to a stainless steel cooker.
They arn’t to use the dryer because they never remember to clean the lint filter. It’s fuse will be taken out so they can’t use it. I want a house to come back to!
My eldest girl and grandson will be staying here to mind the house and animal’s while we are in S.A for 3 day’s , the 2 younger girl’s are out and about too much … but I think I scared her with instruction’s about collecting the chook’s egg’s…I told her not to forget that because if she leaves them there they will break then the chook’s will eat them and they will start eating their own egg’s then it will be her job to dispose of that lot and buy a new lot of chook’s. LOL.
They wont have to water any garden’s, I will do that with the saved water the day before.
Special instruction’s for Max, how much food to be given ect .
Everything written down..
I know , I’m a worry wort lol.

Middle daughter has her head stuck into Bridal mags and wonders if her nail’s will grow , for a wedding that’s in a year’s time.
No help there lol.
Youngest girl is working full time so not here all day. Max would howl all day left alone.
Giant son will be at the resi unit and doesn’t know anything of this trip, because he doesn’t cope with ‘thing’s that are going to happen’ but he will be fine once we are there and let him know.

Well that is a start at least – hope you do get a useful response too. Perhaps they will ask you to be involved in a submission or committee where you can have real input…
Some consistency between State laws (and agencies) would be useful too… Good Luck!

I have the elf’s PC on life support….. just doing a liver transplant on it after giving it a brain transplant…..
Poor thing has been without his computer for about 2 weeks:(

I had a lovely morning with the gardening group and the sun shone all the time. The grounds at Cruden Farm are beautiful, so serene and green with some magnificent trees.I got some lovely shots of the lake with trees in Autumn colouring beside it. We didn’t see the grand old lady, although we left early so she might have appeared later.
I’ve done a bit more sand shovelling but I’m a bit tired today so packed it in early.
Computer is alive and the email is running and he’s surfing on his PC…..

Flatleaf parsley Lucky :)
I have a large jar of this waiting to be dried, and another jar of it already dried. I do notice the italian flatleaf parsley grow’s quicker.

Same here and I hope that this time I’ved scrolled to the bottom of quote before typing my response!
bugga – I missed Maggie and Simon tonight…
First lumpy cold front due through here in the morning..
I’m doing some extra shfts for the boss who is going to melb.. So after a night shift last night I have the first of 5 straight day shifts tomorrow then 2 night shifts. Then I get 4 days off.
The cold front is good news because nearly everyone goes home when it gets wet at work.. Nice and quiet then! 8^)
Pay off will be boss doing a cycle for me later in the year which will give me 12 days off.
So Mum (who has gone or is about to go) on a trip to Canada with my sister will cop a visit this year….
Maybe I could organise the flight to have a few hours in Adelaide on the way through, will have to see… Won’t be for a month or three though.

Good afternoon :)Yes, not many posts when I checked in yesterday afternoon…

everything grows faster at your place HP – although in this instance i agree rhat italian parsley is a good grower. i’ve got about ten plants here and they are all in need of picking.

adelaide is becoming a winter playground for youse interstaters.

beautiful here – cool, still damp but no rain until sunday – perfect weather for working outside.
i don’t always read all the chat. but its dark outside and the rest of the world is asleep.
Getting light here now—

as black as… here.
no street lights and only this room is lit. i’m throwing light from this room out onto the verandah but its pitch black elsewhere. someones rooster just crowed.
nearly time for school here, looks like its raining very lightly outside.
Rained all night Veg—going to be cold today too
morning early bird’s.
I was up really late and slept in, I can’t wake up. Oh crap where’s the bloody kettle.
morning potter.
its light here now.
i’m heading off this weekend – daughter is looking after the poodles. garden needs weeding but is wet.
we’re going to burra to see ancient marsupial dinosaur skeletons.
time to commune with the feathered natives.

lol Pepe.
It’s all the manure’s, and I’m a non conformist when it come’s to them. The normal rule of maturing or composting the stuff..I don’t do any of that , it get’s collected , mixed, then chucked straight on. Horse manure is fresh when I get it, chook manure goes from hen house floor to vege patch in the same day,ect. (but I never put fresh stuff on ornamental’s)
Hort’ people will disagree with this no doubt but it’s that or nothing. The vege’s arn’t complaining.
I suppose I could be thought of as having a ‘brown thumb’ ? HAHAHAA!
This big jar of it is now dried and I’ll pick the next lot today. I think 12 plant’s of it is too many for me , and if I don’t pick it, i’ll be over run with it. Chook’s don’t particularly like it either, strangely.

good morning all…
Good morning Greenies,
It’s a bright sunshiny day here, good weather for gardening :) I can’t spend all day out there unfortunately as I have an appt with my eye specialist for a check-up. The man who looks after the garden of next-door’s holiday house saw me working on the sandhills yesterday. He said we could dump the rest of it on their lawn as it’s full of holes and gives him a bumpy ride on his ride-on mower. Great! Only have to take the huge clods of grass down to the tip now :)
It’s quicker on the downloads this morning.

busy time of year for school kids :)
yep half yearlys already, ill study on the bus in the moring as one of my friends who goes to a different school and sits next to me she has her exams this week and next week so we test each other.
Good Evening Gardeners … I’d appreciate your help with identifying this stuff growing on my newly potted bulbs.
It looks for all the word as if a fleet of little jellyfish have landed in the last rains.
I am in Adelaide and am using what is called a “Premium Potting Mix”.

and up close
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2070/2512091301_dcf7109527.jpg
I meant to add that DO was wondering if it was caused by “Crystals” that are in potting mix.
thanks for any help you can offer. :)
JJ ill try and find the topic u are after ok.
Thank you … I have no idea whatsoever about where to start! :)
I have put them into pots for this year, intending to move them to a new home in another garden.
When I saw this I wondered if it was a nasty that I should be quarantining.
:)
I think this isn’t a plant … but it doesn’t look like a fungus either … or even a mould.

Thanks … will you mind if they are not plants but some other kind of biological thingo?
jj said:

nope i dont care. it may be a plant looks like it has some type of blub leaves to me, ill look in my book.
oh, no, it isn’t the green bits … it’s the shiny transparent stuff on the potting mix.
jj said:

o ok i tought u ment the blubs.
I’ll post a link the the flickr page so i can make a note exactly on the stuff in between the emerging plants … I should have done that first, but those pages take too long for manypeople to download.

Here it is.
It feels almost exactly like a little jelly fish. :(

ok, they look like some sort of jelly to me, water crystals came to me frist. may be other gardeners may know what it is.
jj said:
:)I think this isn’t a plant … but it doesn’t look like a fungus either … or even a mould.
JJ, I’m pretty sure it’s just water crystals from your potting mix. They swell up when they get wet.
Well, DO was right all the time.
I had NO idea about such things.
Now I will head over to the science forum to find out more about them.
Thank you both. :)))
no problems so i did get it correct. YAY I AM SO HAPPY

Very good. I think it’s excellent that you have to do that nowadays. lots of P-platers used to be on the roads with not enough driving experience.
yeah its a bit hard u know
as u have to make ur supvisre driver for 2 hours and 32 min every single week and u cant miss a week at all, my dad worked it all out.

hi collie :)
Hi BG..
Had a pig of a day at work. The whole town had lost power including work at change of shift time, so the swipe in access and turnstyle system was all out of whack all day. So I’ve been on the go all day!
Boy I’m going to sleeo well..
that’s no good. hope you get a good sleep then.
he normal rule of maturing or composting the stuff..I don’t do any of that , it get’s collected , mixed, then chucked straight on. Horse manure is fresh when I get it, chook manure goes from hen house floor to vege patch in the same day,ect. (but I never put fresh stuff on ornamental’s)

yep – the constant application of manure turns the soil into a compost heap – i don’t care how ya do it.
nice going HP.
Well you have a great weekend ! After all that lovely rain my place is sprouting stinging nettle’s left right and centre. Weeding time!
——
thanks HP – the w/e weather is all fine. this is the first time we’ve had a holiday since swimming with the seals over a year ago.
the soil is damp and the first weeding is almost complete.

you’re welcome to some. theres virtually no frost here – so fresh supplies will continue until spring when the parsley goes to seed. its always self seedling so i have never been without.
I’m trying to find an everyday bank acc product for youngest daughter that doesn’t have the high fee’s. She’s in an entry position and low wage for stating off, the fee’s are eating everything she tries to save. I don’t think a ‘young person’s starting out’ account exist’s.
I’ll keep looking.

That’s the one she with ..and twice in the month fee’s of over $20 were taken out.. hmmm might have to ring them. And she doesn’t have any direct debit’s. She doesn’t keep any cash on her , just uses the card heap’s.

were they withdrawal fees? rather than take lots of small amounts out if she restricts it to a couple of larger amounts that will keep them down. Or if she gets a debit card that acts like a visa but is not a credit card, then those transactions only count as one debit each month. But she needs to select credit not savings when she uses it.

swimming with dolphins was part of the tour but that was in six metres of water with sharks around. not for me! people criticise everything – you have to make your own decisions based on what you know. the little seals seem to love human company.

getting warmer inside and outside is looking more and more tempting…

Arvo green people,
I’ve had a good day today, went to the local shopping complex and got left there to play. I had some retail therapy:)
I bought some boots – red ones !
After much frustration with cheap frying pans and broken casseroles over the years I went overboard and bought a Swiss Diamond saute pan which you can use on the stovetop and put in the oven with lid too. So now I can make a casserole using 1 pan :) Judging by the price it will last longer than I will, but they were on sale (Whew)and not screamingly expensive, just very expensive.

someone grab the crash cart

Yeah yeah… that too
You have to admit though, I do know how to wind you up!! LOL
Yep… I do so bite….LOL
After much frustration with cheap frying pans and broken casseroles over the years I went overboard and bought a Swiss Diamond saute pan which you can use on the stovetop and put in the oven with lid too. So now I can make a casserole using 1 pan :) Judging by the price it will last longer than I will, but they were on sale (Whew)and not screamingly expensive, just very expensive.
———————————
Where possible I do buy expensive good quality cookware. Worth it in the long run.
Well I’m happy and so that makes the elf happy…..:D
Fridge is on hold until the bonus comes through…. saved $300 on it and with $40 of the savings…. they’ll deliver it, install it, take away the rubbish and the old fridge in the shed……$80 trade in on the morgue….so #1 son misses out on his beer fridge.
I’m happy with this deal …… just need the bonus to be paid and then I have (mean…we have) a new fridge.
Compared to the old fridge that is 20 years old….they sure have come a long way with smart thingies and looks.
you won’t know yourself with a new fridge, Lucky :)

Oh oh oh…. this one has a light in it….. globes cost too much and we haven’t had one for about 15 years………gee that’ll make us look poorer….LOL as we’ll be able to see in the fridge….ROTFL
Oh Bluegreen…its so lovely and “new”……….. I have a secret passion for looking in new fridges..Sshhh

No wonder Mr Y is fangin’ to grow cider apples in our planned new orchard. He just poured me a glass of homemade cider from the last bottle of the last batch he made 2 1/2 years ago. I’m ready to go to sleep after half a glass! Maaaate!!

Um, Mr Y just looked over my shoulder, said the cider was made 4 years ago. If we had an alcoholmeter here, I think the cider would dissolve it, lol!

Not cold enough for long enough for Lucky to grow rhubarb without killing it, but, eh!
(Geez, Lucky, you better sort the rhubarb problems out or I’ll be giving you heaps over it for years to come! I’ll need a new bone to worry or I’ll get bored)
Oops, dinner on the table, GTG,must tell him what a good cook he is!!
yeehah u seen my rhurbarb when u were down?
A neighbour saw my rhubarb yesterday and said I should lift it, store it in the shed for a month, prepare a rich bed for it (Horse poo etc) and replant it. It never gets really nice thick stems, only weedy thin ones.
bluegreen said:

Done. Scrummy. And enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow. And Mr Y not only cooked dinner, he’s washing up AND making soup for tomorrow night’s dinner too. He was well worth the money, lol!

I did! It only just occurred to me that I should have offered to harvest some for you ;)
Thanks for the offer of the pumpkins, too, I forgot to say that here – but as I told your mum, we’re gonna have a hard time getting through our own. They’re stored in the shed, and when I was in there last I swear I could smell something mousey or ratty, so I warned Mr Y that he needs to buy some “special” mouse food (you know the stuff, usually labelled ‘Talon’ or ‘Ratsak’) before they decided to dig for buried pumpkin seeds!

Summers are too hot – fries ‘em. Winters aren’t cold enough – they need to go dormant. Did you download that GA episode? Pete told the bloke from Queensland he needs to put his rhubarb plant in the FREEZER for a month every winter, then replant it. Truth!

No idea – but it will be recorded. I tend to then skip through bits that I’m not interested in. Generally the gardening, landscaping and sometimes Karen’s recipes are good. But you can get the info from website and magazine too – which reminds me I have to return one to the library…:)
>ANZ… fees $6.00 a month. With unlimited withdrawals..this is what I have…..
I could handle having an account for $6 a month from which I can make unlimited withdrawals!!!!

good afternoon peoples.
I’ve been having fun outside. beautiful day to be in the garden.
I have cleaned out the chook pen and given them new straw to scratch around in. Then I went did some potting up and giving my little greenhouse a cleanout. My Aloe Vera has thrown about a dozen pups so they have all been repotted.

ok, havent had much time in the garden here. everything is airing out, need to go to the camping store to get a few more little things which i have ran out of.
Good afternoon! I took some photos this morning for citrus pruning thread – and while i was at it some of vegie garden to date – then a few of chooks – somehow ended up with 47!
Have yet to catch up on chat.
Is anyone else planning to use the free ftp server space offered by fsm? Some interesting things posted for sharing. Among them was this:
_AUSSIE ETIQUETTE
GENERAL RULES:
1. Never take a beer to a job interview.
2. Always identify people in your yard before shooting them.
3. It’s tacky to take an esky to church.
4. If you have to vacuum the bed, it’s time to change the sheets.
5. Even if you’re certain you’re included in the will, it’s rude to take the trailer to the funeral home.
DINING OUT:
1. When decanting wine from the box, tilt the paper cup and pour slowly so as not to “bruise” the wine.
2. If drinking directly from the bottle, hold it with both your hands.
ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME:
1. A centrepiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist.
2. Don’t allow the dog to eat at the table, no matter how good his manners.
PERSONAL HYGIENE:
1. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this should be done in private, using one’s OWN Ute keys.
2. Even if you live alone, deodorant isn’t a waste of money.
3. Use of toiletries can only delay bathing a few days.
4. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a no-no, as they detract from a woman’s jewellry and alter the taste of finger
foods.
DATING (Outside the Family):
1. Always offer to bait your date’s hook, especially on the 1st date.
2. Be assertive. Let her know you’re interested: “I’ve been wanting to go out with you since I read that stuff on
the toilet wall years ago.”
3. Establish with her parents what time she’s expected back. Some will say 10:00 PM, others might say “Monday.” If the latter is the answer, it’s the man’s responsibility to get her to school on time.
THEATRE ETIQUETTE:
1. Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up after the movie’s ended.
2. Refrain from talking to the characters on the screen. Tests have proven they can’t hear you.
WEDDINGS:
1. Livestock is a poor choice for a wedding gift.
2. Kissing the bride for more than 5 seconds may get you shot.
3. For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A track suit with a cummerbund and a clean football jumper can create a
tacky appearance.
4. Though uncomfortable, say “yes” to socks and shoes for the occasion.
DRIVING ETIQUETTE:
1. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if the gun’s loaded and the pig’s in sight.
2. When approaching a round-about, the vehicle with the largest tyres doesn’t always have the right of way.
3. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.
4. Don’t burn rubber while travelling in a funeral procession.
5. On running out of fuel, when sending your wife down the road with a petrol can, it’s impolite to ask her to bring back beer, too. (-Funny I don’t see a problem with this one_
New site – has chook picture jigsaw puzzles among other things…I will post a link in Poultry Prattle when I have more time. I have yet to explore it but could be interesting I think

Ok, the Netting when it is laying flat on the ground or in a straight line is 50m, so that means 50 Divide by 4 is 12.5m on each side. but what i will do is make it more of a rectanlge and not a square, do u still get where i am coming from?

Nope, thats the perimeter.
You need Length multiplied by width.
One more try. You may need a a calculator.

Remember, the area of a square (or rectangle) is length x width.if its 12.5×4 its 50m2

Nope, thats the perimeter.
You need Length multiplied by width.
One more try. You may need a a calculator.Good explanation before too, made sense and even had a bit of punctuation.
can i work it out later, dont have a calculator on my hands and the computer got it calculator uninstalled.

No i’m onshore VG but it’s all much the same idea.
Not really the place to explain on here but if you have my photobucket addy there are couple of shots on there from when i was overseas.

Well how’s about this then, you said it would be a rectangle. So if two sides are 10 metres, how long will the other two sides be?
nope i dont have your photobucket addy.

That’s a shame.
I’ll mail it to you ……………………………………………………………when you let me know the area of your chook run…

15m
is the area 150m2
15m

OK. So what’s 10m x 15m? You won’t need a donculator for that!

150m2 i already worked that one out,so i posted it before and i worked it out in my head. Becuase its just 15 and then you add a 0 and you get 150.
is the area 150m2
++++++++++++++
Aha. The penny drops.
By changing the length of the sides of the chook run, as long as you keep it in a square or rectangle, the area will remain the same. Easy huh!
Sounds big doesn’t it!

A report from MrP said that the hares have been feasting on my newly planted bamboo. There is now a netting surround around it. Poor little thing is just a baby too.
We have sent for an order of Calla Lilys from GE. MrP has been preparing the bed ready to recieve in June. Also have some Lilliums and a tiger Lily as well to come. They are the first things I have ordered by mail from them so I’m hoping for the best. Have planted a few more Azaleas (from cuttings) We thought we’d stick to the ones that have proven to be hardiest because they have survived for about 10 years where some of them have been lost during the big dry.
Going to hit the hay. I’ll get the light. Night.

Longy do you do logging with the big french company (two part name…) perchance? Or another mob doing that?
I used to work for them in PNG doing the electronics repairs on downhole/surface gear..
When you said you were hanging about because they’d dropped the drill string that sounded kinda familiar… 8^)

Hey Collie. No mate, i do slickline. I’m here doing core barrel retrieval which is like watching paint dry. Trouble is it’s a new rig and they have all this hydro-mechanical rubbish to keep the roughnecks away from the pipe and it takes ages. Only a driller on the floor. No hands. They dropped the string yesterday. Blew another day. I’m supposed to be on break and i’ve been on standby for about 15 days on site instead. Not real happy.

It’s obscene to be stuck at work during this weather.
So have you been out west Longy—bet it is cold out there

+++++++++++++++++
Yeah i’m near Roma in Qld. Not too cold yet really. No frost so far. I drove up thru the ranges and they’ve had a few frosts up there though. If that south westerly kicks in though it’ll plummet.
Yes I remenber in 64 when I was up in Rocky they has snow in the Hinterland—was cold as—even in Rocky
I remenber in 64

Good morning all :)
Good morning everyone:)
Making a couple of salads and hoping to be able to weed or at least start to weed the friendship garden today..
Hi lucky :) I hope to pot up some cuttings and plant out a few that I have going in an effort to reclaim part of the backyard from my poultry! Much nicer out in the sun than in my house atm.

Morning all, yes I’m just about to head outside myself, the icy cold has gone now,

hiyas, we are all packed to go to adelaide tomorrow morning , giant son is still in hospital and probably will be for week’s. He slept 24 hours…woke very thirsty… but more settled. We will go see him when hubby gets off day shift and spend the evening with him :)
Packed camera and charger..clean undies …flung in a top or 2..and the yellow wool for Lucky..full instructions given to eldest girl re looking after animals….didn’t pack deodorant or perfume or after shave so we might smell a bit .. we are all ready :)
Already did the ‘net check in bit and boarding passes in my bag.
Picking up 4 ‘happy pills’ for me shortly from my doc , so I can board a plane , 2 for up 2 for back. Really will be flying high lol.
I wanted to take a sustagen drink for myself for the flight as I’m told by lap banded frequent fliers that if there’s any air bubbles in my band , that could swell a tad with the plane’s pressure and so closing it off a bit ..wont be able to eat anything. But the plane people told me sorry no fluid’s to be taken in hand luggage, so I’ll scoff it before I board. That and a couple beers lol…I hate flying.

BTW Longy. I sat next to a bloke on the plane to Adelaide who goes out putting up the accommodation for you oil rig blokes. He actually comes from WA or Melbourne, depending how far he has to go interstate to the next job. His boss picked him up from the airport in a Ferrari. No money in his business tho. LOL.

Evening All,
Not a thing done in the garden today. Drove 2 hrs for a BBQ and 2hrs back, :( Scored 5 bags of horse poo on the way back which I’ll use as mulch on the roses. I’ve got more of it to use in the compost heap for the vegies.
I think a spot of weeding is on the board for tomorrow.

Well they need doing now…but we don’t have a car to go to my poultry supplier to buy a bale….so they have to wait until early next month:( Too far to push the wheel barrow…else I would have done this….LOL

i’ll take the liberty of answering the question…until Lucky gets here.
when you cannot avoid the land mines…it’s definitely time to clean out the chook run/pen. my enclosures are about 2×2 meters, one holds the 3 ducks and one holds the 3 chooks. i usually clean up at least once a week, scooping up the manure, as i don’t have a deep litter system at the moment. when i did have deep litter system, once a month or once in two months removed the lot for composting.
I have a deep litter system for my chooks and because it doesn’t get wet it will last months without a problem, although I will clean out the nesting area more often.
With the ducks I find that I have to clean out or at least top up the straw every week in winter because it doesn’t get to dry out. But in summer it will last longer as it dries out.
In the end a clean pen helps with the health of your birds and often your nose tells you if it needs cleaning.

I’ve met Bubba Louie, Pomolo, VG’s mum, Ken the Gardener (btw, anyone heard from/of Ken lately?) and Longy.
I’ve always wanted to do a big trip that loops through south coast NSW, zig-zagging through Vic, across to Adelaide, possibly zip across to WA (optional now – especially as I’m no longer chasing Collie ;D ), back across to northern NSW through Western NSW.
Mr Y has been informed of my desire – and he’s happy to share the driving, if I pay for the petrol!
Need to go to the UK and see Mr Y’s family first – $$$$$!

Go you good thing!!
I spent 5 1/2 hours in the TAFE library yesterday, working on Complex Word Processed Documents (oh-joy-oh-bliss) after 5 days in a row at TAFE, most days I put in 6 hours (every second Fri only half a day), plus 3 1/2 hours MYOB Wed night – 9 1/2 hours on Wednesdays, yay :(
SO when I came home yest’y Mr Y asked what I wanted to do. Answer: anything that doesn’t involve having to read!
So we got 3 DVDs out to watch, and knocked ‘em all over in 24 hours. This arvo we watched “In her Shoes“with Toni Collette and Cameron Diaz – I’d already read the book, and I cried and cried, I was just dripping tears and snot everywhere. Bluddy brilliant. So now I’m all fired and ready to hit the books again tomorrow.
Reckon I need a good cry every now and then :) … I always feel better after!
morn all..was no sleep for me and I look a fright. Went to visit g/son last night but he was in in isolation , no visitor’s , he had escalated and was sedated again, sound asleep. Floodgate of tear’s started for me , and a massive dose of the guilt’s “ you’re going interstate and you son is in hosp. how could you” ect.
But I’ve superglued the emotion’s in check , ok now, and will be on that plane soon. Can’t wait to see gorgeous baby grandson and meet mad gardeners like me :D and know I’m not alone lol.
Be good and play nice.
Hooroo
the Burra ‘diproton walk’ was very good. not that any skeletons remain on site – but the landscape looks prehistoric.
its a wide valley with lots of eroded gulleys and cliffs on all sides. you walk through the forests of massive mallee trees with thick bases and fallen branches. then out onto the grasslands, looking down into the eroded gulleys with 10m high cliffs of melting mud with caves. finally you descend into the valley, with waterholes, reeds and rocks, for the walk home.
good morning.
Burra was frosty so its nice to be back where the mornings are not so brisk.
G’day.

Yo Pepe. A bit brisk here too.
I was in your neck of the woods briefly a few months ago.
Clare valley innit?
he Burra ‘diproton walk’
——-
diprotodon (big wombat)
yep – burra is very close to clare – only burra is frozen in an 1880’s time slot whereas clare is more historically corrupted and go-ahead.
where are you writing from?

Hey Hopper, it was until the sun rose, then it warmed up pretty quikly. Perfect day again. I’m thinking of how i can get run off the site. Get outa here and go sit on the beach.
Well I guess it is better there than O/S where you were b4 Longy—sounds like they keep you pretty busy.

Yeah it’s better in some ways Hopper. I liked the OS thing but the travel sucked.
Busy as i wanted to be this year. Maybe a bit too busy. Might hide thru June i think.
I was going to be getting up that way this month but think it has been put on hold for now—One day may catch you up Longy

the Burra ‘diproton walk’ was very good. not that any skeletons remain on site – but the landscape looks prehistoric.
its a wide valley with lots of eroded gulleys and cliffs on all sides. you walk through the forests of massive mallee trees with thick bases and fallen branches. then out onto the grasslands, looking down into the eroded gulleys with 10m high cliffs of melting mud with caves. finally you descend into the valley, with waterholes, reeds and rocks, for the walk home.
Great description of the “walk”……glad you enjoyed it:)
Hello Bubba in cold Q’ld.

It’s not that bad, I still haven’t put on a jumper yet.
BBL washing up awaits.
Elf didn’t go for his walk today, really feels humid here. I had sweat running off me as I walked home today. Either that I was walking faster without him…..
Not sure if we’ll get any rain though…. there is some forecast, maybe a bit of thunder thrown in for good measure too.
Evening all,
I don’t like it being dark at 5.30!
I’ve been planting seedlings this afternoon. I pulled out an enormous cauliflower which made room for a punnet of brown onions and pulled out the Thai basil which made room for silverbeet :)
Wow the weeds have been busy out the back while I’ve been busy out the front!
The blackbirds are back :( I’m trying to keep up with them this year so they don’t have a nest full of eggs before I find them. B@#%* y things.
i second that sentiment about the blackbirds….seem to be the only birds that will plough up soil, especially freshly planted seedbed and around seedlings.

Yes, they leave nothing undisturbed. I know if I put worm casts or worm wee on the garden I have to lay gutterguard over it to stop the little blighters.

i dont have many problems with birds. just the cockys that get in to my garden and the parrots, bird netting on on the broccil bursell spourts and cauilflower.
Hi Veg,
We don’t have a problem with cockies or other parrots usually, although they can damage roses and steal fruit from you.

I don’t get them eating tomatoes, but other fruit is fair game for them. Rainbow lorikeets just strip a nectarine tree. if it’s not netted. I net all my trees.
yeah as wel only have 1 net i use that on the garden.
i’ve tried a lot of things to keep the blackbirds away, including professional bird scaring tape. nothing works for longer than a couple of days. in the end there needs to be a physical barrier they cannot get through, to stop them.

Anyone here?
moring all.
Morning Veg

I have a toothache. :(
It’s reached the stage where I can’t bite on that side of my mouth, my ear is aching and I’ve got a swollen gland in my jaw. Seems to be centred on a tooth with a gold crown so it’s not a cavity. I fear an abcess might be happening and my dentist is away this week so my appointment isn’t until monday. The pain isn’t terrible but it’s spreading.
I’m torn between seeing his partner who I don’t like much, or going to the doc, or just waiting till Monday.
MrBL’s away till Thursday night, so I can’t have anything major done now anyway. We were just talking about him telling his boss he didn’t want to keep his current job (temp acting in a higher position) because of the travel, and then he gets a phone call offering him the position full time plus a 25% pay rise. Can’t turn that down, so I don’t know whether to be pleased or not.

go to the doc. you may need antibiotics and the dentist won’t be able to do anything until the infection’s gone anyway. this way at least you will be one step ahead.

so the temp/new job is the one with all the travel? Mr BG is finally out of his traveling job and is happier even though it means less money (higher rate but no overtime).
an ice pack might give some relief for now.
I feel for you Bubba—had that happen last year to me—I was about to pull it myself the pain was so bad—and it was a weekend—saw the Dr and he just said take up to 8 Pan Forte a day—I did and it never even touched it—hope you get some relief soon

i’m always leaving the forum unannounced – so no probs.
i’m only here now because i ate so much at lunch that there’s no need for dinner.
the missus is doing her own meal – probably her baked bean fetish LOL.
the oil industry is foreign to me – so its difficult to discriminate between that and mining.

Finally at the top, how’s that for speed reading lol..We had such a great time, met our littlest grandson and what a beautiful toddler he is..I gave the little tyke a packet of smarties…and I copped the fallout .. He went tearing about the house as I was trying to take his photo, he head banged me, knocked my glasses off , threw tonka truck’s at me and generally ran me off my feet and screamed at me..with a pitch that could only come from a little one… the sort of squeal that could shatter bone’s. My hearing is still recovering.
After he finished terrorising me, he started on Mr. Hp who was whizzing him about in a milk crate at breakneck speed, the little one loved it ! I just shut my eye’s.
We all slept well that first night !
I loved Adelaide, and all it’s weird roads lol. Such a pretty city :)
glad you had a good time HP. And it sounds like a good thing that your newest grandy lives in another state! he sounds a real handful! lol!

Guess who’s sheepishly ringing the glazier shortly .. and I’m cakking myself laughing lol.
There’s some garden damage here too , my bulb garden is completely flattened , but I know it’s Max’s work , he just loves find a lush green ‘cushion’ to roll in and without me to stay next to, he obviously went for broke and had a delightfull ‘lolling in the flower’s ‘ session LOL!
I’m off later in the morning to a dr’s appt weigh in and most likely will get a band top up , that will help me get rid of this last stubborn few kg :)

Aw that’s a shame HP, but I guess it’s good if that’s the worst that happened! Maybe there were some that hadn’t come up yet??
Is GS still in hospital? and how is he?
So glad you had such a happy trip :)
Morning All!
It’s a lovely sunny day here.
I did more weeding yesterday and took some lavender and salvia cuttings.
I might do some pruning today.

Nice!
We have just raided the 2 book cases and we have a pile of novels on the floor. About to pop them in the “4 wheel drive” and walk to Salisbury to the second hand place and swap them for some new books for the elf.
Beautiful weather for a slow walk to the next burb over…….. must remember to pop some water into the trolley as well.
good afty
ms and i fasted and had blood tests this morning.
we indulged in a maccas hotcake breakfast afterwards.
the whole days routine was thrown out . beautiful day for a walk – might have to go for a stroll.

Yes it is because of that lol …and we don’t have the big PC chair yet for him because even with it’s 150 kg load rating, giant son is now 161 kg , and the little castor wheels are the standard sort and wouldn’t be able to take that weight for long. Bigger ‘trolley’ type wheel’s are going to be fitted to it and the design has to be changed first. For now it will be a metal chair until G/S loses weight. ( that is starting now that he is off the old meds)

Lot’s of bulb’s dug out, Max really did have a good play! But I have re planted them now and there’s heap’s still to come up.
The tuber rose’s wont though. I did notice that last year’s tulip’s are re emerging :D
Giant son was discharged yesterday and the resi unit staff picked him up. He will come home this arvo after school time as usual.
The glass sliding door now has double glazing in the top and the broken bottom. As window’s get broken here they are replaced with the double glazed safety sort. Only a couple left to go now…
LoL Hp, you must be a reg. client with your glazier, hope he looks after you ??
The Estate said:
LoL Hp, you must be a reg. client with your glazier, hope he looks after you ??
Yes you bet! This glazier has the measurment’s of every window we have and the house plan , on file! So we just have to ring and say what window ect and they made a time to come out.
But they said, better to replace the top glass too , so it’s done.
well would keep the noise in and also the cold out LOL
phew we are home from the walk to Salisbury and back…. about a 12 km walk.
Got to the shop to swap books and the chick was burning those smelly stick things…so I had to ask the elf what authors he wanted this time round.
The owner thought by putting out the smelly stick ….it had solved the problem…….. people can be a blissfully unaware of the fact putting out the fire….doesn’t mean the smoke is gone too.
My feet are killing me, so hot from the walk home.
I sure pulled a few kilos of books in the 4 wheel drive……
Off to put my feet up.

Evening green ones,
I have been creating havoc in the garden. I pruned the pear, plum and mulberry trees. The mulberry had grown through the birdnetting and it was a very tricky job getting it off. I cut back all the new growth and some middle branches that can’t be reached to harvest fruit from. I hope the poor thing survives my attention! The watering system in the new rosebed is connected and the pavers in the arbour are laid. When my garlic comes from Diggers I’ll pop it in that bed and then mulch it all with horse poo. Oh, i’ll have to put the fittings on the polypipe first.
We got some solar lights from K-Mart today – $15 off – they look nice, very neat.
Beef Bourguignon for dinner in my new pan!! Have to go and see to it now. BBL
Evening all.
hey VG, how did it go today?
i went ok today.

yep, and how are you.
I’m good. Looking forward to my day off tomorrow.

Thanks to Pepe’s parsley we are about to have mushroom sauce and for the first time for me….. steak Diane sauce and used Pepe’s parsley:)
Almost ready for tea with yesterday’s salads.

Good morning All,
Have a nice gardening day BG and those who can.. Have a good day at work Thee and those who have to. I’m off outside now. BBL
yep. I’m just having my cuppa and breakfast and checking up on the forums, then I have some green manure to turn in. I will try and remember to take some before and after shots.
morn ladies and lurkers..lovely and sunny here. I started early with a garden tidy up and fed the worm farm’s, there’s something about playing in the garden in your PJ’s , so comfy… now for brekky and a cuppa and I might get dressed. Not much to do here today , but I bet if I look there will be heap’s to do.
morning all
the stroll yesterday was interesting.
firstly – the peppermint gum (see under case moth thread) is just about dead – so case moths appear to be successfully destroying their own nest. although i suspect the drought and proximity to the road weakened the tree first.
secondly – there is a new stone cairn (pile of rocks) over freshly dug earth – whooo – i wonder whats buried there?

good – the italian leaf parsley is just as easy to grow as the curly leaf one. my cook says its better.
- and your salads are delicious – altho the fresh green salad is still my favourite.

nothing new about you and havoc in the garden LOL
i’m glad someone else has pruned. i just pruned a fig, mulberry, quince, apples and citrus. i fertilised first to increase the sap flow and thereby aid the healing process of the pruning cuts. i was a bit worried about pruning so late in autumn for fear of disease.

I have grown both and although the italian one is easy to grow and very productive, I still prefer the curly leaf one myself. Maybe because it is what I grew up on.

well I did what I could outside, it’s spick and span, now I need to re stock the freezer with some casserole/stew thing’s, soup’s and going to make a couple dozen red wine meat pie’s. They all love these pies for their work lunches.
Off to the shop’s with a list. bbl.
Just a quick hello and goodbye – I am STILL trying to find tax papers for last yrs return – going back to early 1985! Hopefully will call it quits get what I have dumped at accountant’s office and declare missing stuff forever lost by COB today! It’s been a nightmare and consumed my life all this week so far.
We are getting some rain at last :) Sorry, haven’t caught up on chat – hope I can this weekend…
Man I stuffed… forgot to buy milk while out yesterday. So i had to drag my sorry bum down to the shops for some……. my hips are sore today from pulling the very heavy 4 wheel drive…..
This I’ll bludge it for the rest of the day now.
good – the italian leaf parsley is just as easy to grow as the curly leaf one. my cook says its better.

————————————————————————
Going to see how many baby parsley plants survive and if need too..I’ll buy some of the Italian loose leaf…..
Thanks about the salads too… still living off them:)
hi Dinetta, how’s things?
Oh Hi BlueGreen
:)
I’m madly cleaning up a cupboard in the family room…it’s taken me three days this week…brought a tear to my eye when I found the first pair of shorts I ever bought Sonny Jim…size 2 …he’s now an 4XL…washing all the years of cosy cat sleeping places and hopefully all the silverfish…much of it is still good cotton stuff and I could probably make patchwork out of it…other stuff goes to LifeLine as either good recyclable or wrags…
I saw your photos of your green manure crop…you will have a great garden in time…
we have lots of cupboards like that too – maybe one day I’ll get around to them. Don’t you just hate it though when you discover the cat has been lying in the basket of clean washing and left hair all over everything?
And thanks for your comment on the green manure. I am hoping that it will help recondition the soil as it was badly hydrophobic at the end of last season.
Don’t you just hate it though when you discover the cat has been lying in the basket of clean washing and left hair all over everything?
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
et tu, BlueGreen??
I’ve got cane baskets with old towels in them…on top of the desks…for the cats (in an effort to keep them out of the laundry)…it can be startling to suddenly see a long black hairy leg stick out of the basket and wave itself around before retracting…(not being able to see the rest of the cat at the time)…
good – the italian leaf parsley is just as easy to grow as the curly leaf one. my cook says its better
==================================================================
as do I…all my parsley is Italian flat leaf now…
it was badly hydrophobic at the end of last season
———————————————————————————————
I get that sometimes, if I don’t keep the water up..made the most of it with the last “wet“and haven’t let the bed dry out since…
well I think I’ve done my gardening dash for the day. Just finished weeding a small patch and planted some daffs I had in pots last season. Want to do more but although the spirit is willing the body is weak….
arvo all.
exams all finished now VG?
bluegreen said:
exams all finished now VG?
yes they are finished, i have changed my browser now to Firefox, the only reason i change it was because it has a spell checker built into it. Now its time to work out how to import my favorites folder from Internet Explore 7.
I use Firefox, but I can’t help you with importing your favourites, sorry.
i have worked it out how to import them, what u do is you click on file then go down to import.
clever lad :D
yes i am. aren’t i. this new program is going to help me alot with my spelling isn’t it.
well, maybe. It will tell you when something is spelled incorrectly, but only for American spelling. Some words we spell differently than they do in America. Most commonly they will use a ‘z’ in places we use a ‘s’, like in ‘fertilise’. Also a spell checker can make you a bit lazy too.
do you know what will happen if i unstall internet explore?
i have download the English version of spell checker.
yeah, you won’t be able to use it anymore ;P
BTW, I just did a linkification search and there is an Australian.English dictionary for the spell checker. Just going to try it out but I have to restart so I’ll be off for a while. I’ll be back soon if it works, or later if it doesn’t and I have to remove it…
ok.
Evening Folks,
Groannnnnnn. I’ve done it again – kept going too long out there. Serves me right, I should learn by past experience!
Anyway, the fittings are all on the watering system now and they work OK. I’ve planted 10 garlic heads, which is a lot of cloves. I’m not too confident how many will be successful, they weren’t up to Digger’s usual standard. Some were discoloured and the inner cloves were under developed. It’s a wait and see thing. If I get a lot of leaves I’ll be happy, they are more a deterrent for Aphids and black spot than anything. Of course if they do well we’ll eat them!
After the planting I put 4 big wheelbarrowfuls of horse manure over the bed and tomorrow I’ll put some compost on. If the roses don’t like all that TLC they can go and live somewhere else!!
OK I’m back, but the spell checker is still working in American English. Oh well, I can cope. lol!
bluegreen said:

lol, i am not sure if it has change for me.
hey all, you should see my kitchen LOL…a bob’s hit ..it’s a production line of goodie’s comming out of the oven , smells beaut!
Pork belly and potato stew for din din’s :)

only one more day until winter Veg :)

Well I have just been out and helped Sonny Joe with chainsawing the stringybark that died of drought two years ago. We are making firewood out of it. No termites, isnt’ that amazing…
I also tied up the tomatoes again, they are growing U-P … I can see I need to plan for trellises next time…and in the summer, plant them further apart than the recommendation…this rainy weather has pushed the remaining potato plant up about 3 inches overnight…I have placed some more scrap timber up the sides (to contain the hay./ fertilizer combo that it’s growing in)…goodness look at the time…
A bean plant that I pulled up with the cornstalks had some beans…lovely nutty beans, not like the sour coarse things from the shops…so I ate the lot…I have to bring in the pumpkins out of the rain, storage will be in a basket between thick layers of newspaper…the caladiums need to be turned over as the cold nights have slowed them right down…some lucky people have them in the ground here so overwintering isi a lot simpler…

Can you tell me why the milk would curdle, when I’ve added strawberry liquer to milk and bailey’s??? It still tastes OK, just lumpy…
>Wedge Island? Is that the one of the west coast of the Yorke Peninsular? I can’t remember…
It was out between 2 big peninsulas PM, on the edge of the Southern Ocean by the look of it. Not small boat territory..

I’ve never heard of Wedge Island…going back to the URL to read more…
I notice there is no “nearest town”…

I reckon it’s because strawberry liqueur curdles milk….
Hey D. Long time no read.

Looks lie it might be a fair way south of Adelaide (?) but worth it for fishos..

by the sound of it, luck has a lot to do with it…
I was chatting to a lass last year, her parents earn their living up there, and at that time they had doubled their security around their home…but I guess one just learns to adjust…
PM’s photos make for great armchair travel…
Link didn’t work, but it sounds like the show..
Yes the fish are edible.
