Morning Val, what you up to, beenoutside twice, too cold LOL
Good Morning All,
Happy June 1st!
It’s a bright morning here, but very wet with dew so gumboots are in fashion. I’m off to inspect yesterday’s work and to check whether my little cultivator friends, the blackbirds, have improved on it. The little demons.
I had 2 strip vegie beds along the fence and I dug another to join them up and another on the end, so now I have one long bed out there. I lifted the rhubarb (sorry Lucky) the other day, and it has an enormous root system, so I’ll replant it in the new bed. I added compost and manure and blood and bone there so it should do better than before. It had too much shade where it was, and very poor soil.
Does anyone know how soon you should replant rhubarb after lifting please?
Morning Thee,
I haven’t done much yet, just a couple of indoor things. Haven’t decided what I’m doing outside yet. I did a lot yesterday so I’ll take it easy today.

Oh that is okay o40:) I have come to terms with my affliction. LOL
Morning…. slack day here…sort of.
Just about to pop a loaf of bread on and I have last nights DVD to finish watching before it does back this arvo.
morning people. I don’t think it is too cold, but I wish the fog would clear and let the sun through….
Morning BG – not foggy here now.
Just about to sign off—still raining here —last night ws VERY heavy rain—

Just back from playtime at Bunning’s … 2 rhubarb ‘ sydney crimson’ plant’s , and a new tap for worm farm no. 2, it was leaking and the liquid was running across a narrow path onto the fernery bed…I wondered why one fern was still sending out new leaves.
Celery still looking very lush, and brussell sprout’s now fattening up. I’ll have a glut of orange’s and lemon’s soon so I have jar’s ready for preserved lemon’s and will make my own cordial’s :) Mandarines looking fab but still a couple week’s to picking yet. I love mandarine’s and can’t wait to try mine.
I better go plant out the rhubarb.
BBL.

Wow this all sounds good

Have just let the pony out, he is being treated for cushings but wouldn’t take his medicine 3 days ago…so I have ignored him (checked on his water tho) and today he suffered his medicine so has been let out for a pick in the front paddock…
so after lunch I’ll go and collect the droppings…one pony makes lots of droppings… :)
:)
I had a bit of a play in the front garden. Pulled a lot of weeds – so much easier when the soil is damp and loose. Removed a 85% dead Erica. Took cuttings from the still living bits and fingers crossed for some replacement plants. Planted out a couple of salvias that have been languishing in pots and some strappy native grasses (the ones with the purple berries).

those roses have transplanted well OC.
all you need now is a bit of winter growth and a full load of blooming flowers. ah – the heady aromas.

when did you plant them?
they are well advanced – you will be picking – well done and yummo.
the dog is saying – ‘bend at the knees’ – i can lip read LOL.
hello all, I am now up the top it was a good drive there and back. I done all the driving only seen one police car can now add 10 hours to my driving log book.

lol ..too damp to kneel.
Actually that’s a good question, I’m not sure when I planted them..lemme see ..I planted the celery and cabbages, cauli’s and B sprout’s about 6 week’s ago, the parsley was planted late summer but is picked often , the silver beet has been in since summer but is alway’s small as I pick it for the chook’s continuously.
I shall record on my calendar in future, when I plant stuff. Good idea eh LOL
Veg when my Dad was young he lived in the country in NSW, that’s when they brought in licences.
The local cop just went around to everyone and asked what they could drive – then wrote out a licence to cover it!
When I did mine in about 1981 I paid for a learner permit, later did a test for my Ps, did one year on Ps then next renewal got the full licence in the mail.
Be interesting to know how hard it will be for your kids or grandkids Veg!
But it is a good idea. Getting a licence SHOULD be hard. You are in charge of nearly 2 tonnes of steel at high speed and you are missing oncoming traffic by less than 2 metres! At a combined speed of 200km/h it will almost certainly be a fatal accident, best avoided. Even if someone doesn’t die in a car prang, living as a cripple or near vegetable in an old age home (when you are still young) because there is nowhere else to look after you is a possibility you really want to avoid!!
Look at the injuries footy players get. That’s when two objects weighing around 110kg meeting each other at 2-20km/h hit. The difference in crunch between 220kg/20km/h and 2000kg/200km/h is immense…..

sorry – had to go for a walk
all of mine were planted on the last day of april – although some were seedlings.
my old vege patch is still yielding stuff and i have to harvest onions and sweet potato soon – and let the chooks in. just waiting for the onions to stop growing.
thats a beaut little vege patch HP -and you’re obviously planting whenever a space presents itself – which is a great idea..

I didn’t get tried, I have been on that road alot of times with dad and mum, while towing a horse float. we stop every 2 hours with horse or with out. so I got 10 hours for the weekend. I am half way to 120 hours :) and its half way through the year as well :) we have cruse control on dads car (work car) so I just use that, only problem is that my knees start to hurt so i had to stop and walk around for a bit.

How long have your onions been in that you are about to harvest ? Mine have been in now , what 5-6 weeks? and the bulb’s are the size of marbles ..I know they take month’s though.. I think :/

sounds like a well planned drive. Too many accidents happen because people don’t take regular breaks and get distracted or tired.

yep, every now and then i would turn off the cruse control and use my foot for a while, most of the people waved to me, as i am a country kid I wave back.
HP- remember I said a fella at job #1 was getting the gastric bypass operation at the end of feb/early march?
I ran across him in town yesterday. He has lost 30kg! Looks like it too! He is feeling good he reckons!

Oh that is fantastic Collie!. Good on him , I am so pleased to hear about, and see so many finally losing their excess weight with the lap band , and it stay’s off permanantly :)
I might be making 75 kg my goal instead of 69 kg…we will see.
Throughout my life, every weight loss I have ever achieved, has been as a result of a great deal of: effort, counting, weighing and measuring, recording, exercising, being hungry and knowing (in the back of my mind) that it was only a matter of time before it would end and I would fall back into old habits.
This time, after banding, I have lost the weight and have not had to exert that same level of thought, angst and effort. I kind of feel like I haven’t earnt this weight loss – that everything I know to be true about how to lose weight is no longer accurate.
so, how was everyone’s weekend?

Me too..
I’m 151kg, very close to being back in the 140s..
I was in the 145kg range when I hurt my back in 1997… Before I started stacking it on..
Even though I’m only losing 1 or 2kg a month I am losing. Much better than stacking it on….
New jeans which I bought about 8 weeks ago – and bought 2” smaller than ideal because I’m still losing – won’t stay up without a belt. They fall straight to my knees! Nice feeling.
And I don’t know if it’s my imagination or not but I think I catch women having a perve sometimes! Now that’s an odd feeling!!
I’m back to work tomorrow Veg after 4 days off. But I needed it because in the 7 days before the days off I did 5 12hr day shifts and 2 12hr night shifts. I was stuffed.

No gardening. Much sleeping and crook weather outside.

Well sounds like you will have to get used to those thing’s ! :D
Slow loss is good.. long as it’s consistant.
May I ask Collie ,what is your goal weight ? Email if you don’t want to say.
I can’t wait to put in this seed order, I am getting some new comfrey plants, and alot more seeds :).

Arh ok.. thanks, I shall wait till I see top’s wilting. I don’t know if I will continue growing onion’s though, I go through so many. I bought a 10 kg bag of them 3 day’s ago and already used a quarter of them. I’d need a paddock of them!

its all wet suits down here now – the water below 20 degrees
If I got into the low 120s I’d be happy. Big improvement on 184. A previous girlfriend said she didn’t care I was 121kg because I wasn’t flabby.
But I suspect I’ll end up between 100-110kg in the looooong term. At that I’m not really that “big”. I’m a big fella. At 100 I was cycling 70km a day 20 years ago.

i have picked a lot – as soon as they were tennis ball size – so you can harvest them at say 5 months but you can’t store them until they keel over..
some are slower then others.

yeah, I was just about to post about that, saying you can’t store them to they die or something.
Since the price for Fruit and veggies is still rising and its planing to rise for alot longer, Dad mum and me had a chat on the way home about it, we came up with this. “I am going to grow more veggies of what we eat, so in other words we are becoming more substantial”. does anyone know or have any information about this?
>we are becoming more substantial”. does anyone know or have any information about this?
Ummmm… Substantial means big.
You mean subsistent or self sufficient….

firstly I must say that you expressed yourself very well there VG. Good spelling and use of punctuation :)
but I think the word you were after was self-sufficient rather than substantial. Self-sufficient means that you are providing for yourself and not relying on outside sources. So by growing all your own veges it means you don’t have to buy them from the supermarket. It also means that they are appreciating the contribution that you are making to the household.
great news veg – great parents too.
the word is sustainable and yes just about everyone on this forum is attempting to be as self sufficient as possible.
my wife and i try to incorporate at least one home grown vege with every night time meal.
it requires close cooperation between cook and gardener.

you either only eat what is in season when they are fresh and have the most nutrient, or you preserve excess in some way like drying or freezing or bottling.

you eat whats in season.
we’ve had no eggs for a month now so we don’t use eggs.
store potatoes, melons, garlic and onions.
lettuce, carrots, celery and herbs grow all year.
(PS – you’ve hit on my favourite topic here – keep asking questions LOL)

yep, and 3 more chooks are ment to be coming as well. so when is the best time to buy 12 weeks pullets? isn’t it so they miss there first malt.
Bet time to buy 12 week old pullets….is when they are 12 weeks old…LOL
Anytime of the year is a good time to buy chooks. They should come into lay around 16 weeks of age. So they should have settled in by the time the eggs start popping out.

Nope…. most suppliers have them all year round.

I’m sitting here in a dilema.
Some of you may remember me mentioning a friend who married a fellow with motor neurone disease. We’re not bossom buddies but we’ve known each other and been friendly since both our sons (now 16) were in grade 1.
Her son has just sent a message to my son to say his step father died last night.
I’m not sure whether to phone now or if it’s too soon. Phone tomorrow or wait a few days? I’m no good at this, plus I need to find out when the funeral will be. I can’t visit them tomorrow because I need to see the dentist and I might just be intruding at this stage anyway.
I only met the husband a couple of times.

Sorry to hear Bubba, maybe give a call in the morning and watch for the notice in the paper ?? I’m like you , feel very awkward !!
bubba, hopefully your friend will have someone there to take calls, but the funeral arrangements may not be finalised for a couple of days. One thing you could do is keep an eye on death notices in the paper as they often have the funeral details in them.

find out through your son how your friend is handling things… If it sounds like she needs a call, then make it tonight…
I would say, if their son sent a message , then they want their friend’s to know..and they know that you know ect. I would call now.

so pepe, how many veggie gardens do you have?
veg gardener said:
so pepe, how many veggie gardens do you have?
one new one (see photos peps in june), one old one (planted december), one that the chooks have cleaned up. they are all multi beds and about 70 sq.m each. (i want 1 more).
the herbs, rhubarb and a splattering of other edible plants invade two of the ornamental beds (ms pepe doesn’t mind).
potatoes and pumpkin are big crops so i plant them around the outside of my fenced area (curtilage)

210 sq m for all 3 garden beds if they are about 70 sq m each means you have alot of area my garden beds are 1.5 × 3m and i have 5 of that sized beds and then i have one 10×1m bed. so i will do a few caluations and work out how much area i have.
so 4.5 sq m for the small beds so 4.5×5 is 112.5sq m plus the other bed is 122.5sq m (please correct me if i am wrong).

I’m not sure how acurate teenage boys are. Her son has purposely kept his distance from his step dad because they all knew this was coming.
Happy Potter said:

They may not even know he did. He lives on the top floor of the house with his own puter while his mum and stepdad were downstairs. It gave him some space from what was happening and was easier for the carers.
The husband has been totally bed ridden for months now and couldn’t even turn himself. They were lucky (if that’s the right word) to find a fantastic group here that is run by buddists (no religion involved) who help terminal patients to stay at home if that’s what they want. It’s like an in home hospice service.

Foods good.
Well I rang. Just a very quick call to say I’m thinking about them and that I’ll visit some time after the funeral. That seems to be the time people feel the lowest and everyone’s disappeared, so we’ll eat cake and /or get leggless, which ever she preferres.

She’s feeling very lost right now. After being so involved in caring for a total invalid she’s forgotten how to care for herself.
you have done the right thing Bubba.
Yesterday we scored this lounge suite….. second hand for $40.00
Wanted to show it to you …….. keeping one’s eyes open… there are great recycling savings out there:)
Very comfy to sit on and the single chairs swivel and tilt. Cats are sure about the no material and that mum & dad aren’t on top of each other.:)

that’s fair enough I suppose, as long as they give you an alternative if there is one. There is in fact having it pulled out and going for a false tooth.
Mr BG didn’t get enough of the right stuff at the right time when it came to his teeth, and as a result they are very brittle. Any Root Canals he has had have fallen apart within 2 years anyway, so he opts for just having them pulled now. Sometimes the tooth splits or falls apart before the nerve is dead, OUCH!

Are you superstitious BL , or just don’t like the wait ?
arvo all..I only seem to make it here by afternoon’s lately. I was busy cleaning and and doing laundry , fielded heap’s of phone call’s re giant son, several appt’s made, then out in the garden and let the chook’s out for a scratch.
I will have to face going to the dentist soon myself, one front tooth has decided to turn a dark colour. But for now the ‘witch’ look will have to do until I can find the time and $ to go.

Well i’m still waiting for the chopper. I’m on the second flight out. Could’ve been half way to Moresby by now. Oh well. I finished my book anyway. At least i don’t have a headache. ( Probably will tomorrow though.)
Well, not much chatter here. Might go hang by the helicopter pad.
Have a good arvo.

Just up again and it feels like morning so it’s tuesday ‘take two’ lol.

Yep keeping an eye on it..but there’s no treatment for low BP, just keep the fluid’s up and sit or bend down quick when feeling light headed. The stress could go, and I am able to switch off.. but only so much.
“Back at docs today, mine still high, he has changed my meds, still 154/82 DAMM”
Oh heck Thee, bit high ! I hope the new med’s work quickly. I have no idea what causes high or low BP. Mine this morn was 80/ 50. It’s been lower before though.Lucky1 said:

Evening.
Been reading a bit but I really don’t have much to say so thought I’d at least say hello.
I’m on borrowed computer time – using Mr Y’s machine because the fan in my laptop has lost the plot (noisy bearing in fan, makes a noise like it’s gonna leave the atmosphere!) and I’m waiting on the new part to turn up.
We’re sending off the signed agreement for the kit home plans tomorrow. Council plans shouldn’t be far off, then we can start DOING something, yahooie!!!
Anyone have a chart which converts sizes to waist measurement?
I was given some trousers (wrong size for him) by a workmate and I’m trying to work out what size they are.
Label says size 24.
The Estate said:

Do you have your own tester Thee? I get what the docs call White Coat Hypertension, which basically means my BP goes up when the doc takes it because I get nervous about the possibly of it being high. They told me to buy my own and test it a couple times a day.
You could be psyching your self up too.

Auto BP machines start at about $40-50 at the chemists.

On the subject of home blood pressure monitors -My doc recommended me to buy one, which I did. I got it for about $85 on special. I used to have a look at my pressure about once a day and keep a record for the doc. All went OK and he said just check it once a week or so. I found one Saturday that it had shot up and checked it a couple of times more that day. I ended up calling the Nurse On call number because I was worried. She told me to go to the emergency dept at the local hosp. To cut a long story short, the doc there went off about home BP testers, said they should be burnt! He said the reading you get is just a number, and unless you get other symptoms too, like headaches or dizziness, that you don’t need to panic. In other words, if you get consistently high readings, see your GP but don’t panic.Just thought I’d share that with you :)

I really can’t remember what it cost and our health cover paid for it anyway. I think it was about $100. Maybe you could hire one.

Mine wasn’t the cheapest available.
the thing with me is that although I have high BP and am overweight, in all other areas I am low risk. I don’t smoke, rarely drink, no family history, low cholesterol…

But high BP often has no symptoms and two docs reccommended it.
I’m supposed to take it three times a day but I’m a bit slack.
just watched a good movie called the The Brave One with Jodie Foster.
yes i’m going to bed, my reading was 154/82
stooofffe and going to bgd :)

I agree, bubba. I didn’t have symptoms most of the time, but the first time it went up to 200/90 I was very very dizzy. That’s when I first was told I had a problem.
She is a great actress
I do agree that a single high reading doesn’t mean much. Out of curiosity I once took mine several times in a row and the readings were very different.

I’ve never been that high. Mine usually falls within high/normal. Which means I’m on the higher limits of normal, not great but not terrible either. Mine really reacts to stress.
yeps nite all, was hoping the readinf would be less:( oh well dont matter , new pills

Morning. It’s so good to be home. All sorts of chaos at the airports yesterday. Bris because of all the rain. Melbourne because of the fog. Sydney and Adelaide trying to handle the overflow. After a much delayed start I arrived home safely. Full credit to the airport admin and staff.
Water……..talk about water. 8 inches has fallen on our property and many places with more or less that amount. It was very welcome for sure and it makes the usual winter water challenge look less of a battle this year. Still warm though. I assumed the winter chill would have hit us this morning. That’s what usually happens after autumn rains.
Anyhoo, All is well including MrP and ZeeZee. The plants…..I have yet to check out. I’ll let you know.
pomolo is is raining here again down at newcastle (well i am up from newcastle near maitland) do u remember what happened up his last year this time.
Morning Pom and Veg—yes quite heavt rain too

What an exciting trip you had home, Pomolo! The airport personnel can do an amazing job with the logistics if required, provided all the planes behave…maybe the managers of Terminal 5 at Heathrow should come over for some tips, so I hear…
8 inches!! Was it good steady soaking stuff? I’ve been right out of this: do I understand that you are back at your own block?

Morning all. I love the eeiry fog’s , so peacefull. Nothing much going on here today , my lazy day :)
Good you are home safe Pomolo , was lovely to meet you.
Well got one thing to do..pull out a dead fern, and ring EPA and/or council over next door’s ‘car mad lad’s ‘ habit of tipping waste petrol , or something like it, onto their weed patch next to the fence, the other side of which is my fernery. ( I will remove the dirt and replace with fresh stuff and root barrier in place another day)
I have asked nicely…
Good morning Earthlings,
Just in for a drink of water and a break. It’s a very mild day today, and very still. We’re busy unloading pavers and rocks from the trailer. Whew!
I’m making a flat edge with pavers round the rosebed to make lawnmowing easier, and a row of upright pavers along the inside edge to help as a weed barrier and a mulch container. Or I might change my mind and do the usual gutterguard fence to foil the blackbirds.
BBL

Yes Dinetta. Long time no see BTW. I have had 2 weeks in Adelaide bonding with #1 son and DIL and grand child. Grandchildren bring it all back to mind in a flash. I don’t know how I managed to raise my 2 kids now that I look back. We are back on our own block but renting from the Gov that has purchased it in readiness for the new Traveston Dam if it’s passed by Federal Gov and environmental studies etc.
I’m well thank VG, but a bit tired. I didn’t sleep all that well last night and had lots of meetings in overheated rooms at work today so all I wanted to do was sleep!

Dare we say BG is the Grand Matriarch, or would it take the brashness of one who lives the furthest from Melbourne to suggest such a thing?

the latter I think – I don’t think I am the oldest female here…
although someone once did describe me as Earth Mother…

I went to that funeral this morning and it was so moving. They started by playing the song Dream Weaver, and then his brother and best mate both gave talks that has us laughing one minute and crying the next, and finished up with Monty Pythons Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life. He wanted everyone to leave with a smile.
I’d only met him a few times but he seems to have had a huge effect on a lot of people.

I don’t mean this callously, but it sounds like it was a wonderful send-off…funerals are so much more in touch with the bereaved these days…(hope I’m not offending with this post?)

That’s just how I felt. As far as funerals can be this one was good.
Just in to mention a new gardening magazine that has hit the market. MrP bought it while waiting for my arrival at Bris airport.
I haven’t read it thoroughly but it looks to have some merit. Would certainly be good for new gardeners. Seems to cover every subject from vegie growing to exotics etc.
This is the first issue so issue 2 will probably be worth a look to find out just which direction it takes from here.
It’s called “Good Gardening Guide” and costs $9. It’s published by Universal Magazines but there is no reference to it on their web page.

How well does it cover the various regions?

That is what I will be waiting to find out. There seems to be lots of southern and cold plants mentioned but there are tropical plants in it too. First edition concentrating on the “how to” type of thing. As I said great for beginners.
I can’t remember if I mentioned before that we have ordered bulbs from Gardening Express this year. Calla lilies and Lilliums etc. Supposed to be sent this month so I am waiting with baited breath. I’ve never used mail order before but those catalogues sure got me in this time.
MrP has prepared the bed ready for recieving. Got to keep that man on his toes. LOL.
Hello HP and BL. Just about to sign off for the night here.
things: gardening tv shows, magazines, and books….are all starting to repeat on me a bit. i’ve stopped buying all those magazines and don’t watch garden tv shows as much anymore. my diggers membership is up for renewal, and i think i’ll let it lapse. pretty much know what to do now…just follow (not too closely) a planting chart, and keep a watchful eye, and keep adding good stuff to the soil.
still like to watch Pete on GA sometimes, as he’s good value for some inspiration to get out there and get the hands dirty.

That’s the song I want at my funeral, Alway’s Look On The Bright Side of Life :)

I do agree that a single high reading doesn’t mean much. Out of curiosity I once took mine several times in a row and the readings were very different.
That happens when Littlefella does a Peak Flow reading for his asthma. I’ll usually make decisions on the best of 3 readings. Having to blow into a spring-loaded chamber is different from sitting still and wrapping something around your arm, I realise. But perhaps the principle is the same?
Morning!
Er…………………….Hello!
Ummmm………………maybe later.
Wake up you lot!!!!!!!!!

I was outside checking out a few thing’s, including some weird funghi , one little bunch of it is pitch black with inverted cap’s and when I touched it I got this black powder stuff on me. All sort’s of strange funghi are comming up atm.
The pumpkin leaves are going mildewy so they are comming out today, then I will sow some of the grain’s I have for a green manure there :)

the stepped stand is going to hold my bonsai plants and the oval stand I will use on my front porch where I have some pots and I am not sure yet about the big hanging one but I am sure I will come up with something :D
cool, I’m sure you’ll find a thing or 2 to hang on it
The Estate said:

LoL, I have that prob. all the bloody time

Cos’ I don’t know how to let their tyres down and remove the spark plugs;(
I’m wrecked ,sweaty and filthy .. took all of the chook house dirt floor and straw out and barrowed it to where I pulled the pumpkin’s out. I didn’t want to dig over the area because there’s some huge earthworm’s in there, King Willys! I thought one was a small snake !
When I get my breath back I’ll put back some spare soil and fresh straw.
There was also the bean plant’s that the pumpkin vine covered ..they got chopped off at ground level.
I put in some BB and potash, shredded paper and a big barrow of horse manure. I’ll wet it then add a green manure in a day or so. This is where I’m going to grow some corn..I’ve never grown this before so I want to see how it goes. Going by this lot it should rocket up lol.

On Saturday we are going up to my sister’s station as their daughter is turning 21. Big party in the wool shed and I am sort of official photographer that night.
Going up Saturday in Bimbo’s car and home Monday morning.
Arvo All,
Just in for a cuppa – building the Great Wall still. I’m going for the informal look, no straight lines!! LOL
As Mr O40 says, well you can do a bit of fine tuning after :)
Glad your Dad’s on the mend Lucky.

Noticeable chill in the air today, only 1.8C at 7am when I was going to bed.
Winter is nearly here…
Melbourne Water people knocked on my door , picks and shovels in hand… what the hell… they needed to get to the main sewer connection , and for some reason today and very urgently !! And it’s in MY backyard !! It’s located in my vege patch!!
The garlic and spring onion bed’s are no more :(
They are here with more worker’s , flood lights and machinery now :(
No bloody notice of this work! Apparently there is something in there they have to get out, I’ve no idea what it is they want so badly.
Right back again,,I had to go out and show them where the sewer cover was, buried about a foot down, they were about to rip out my mandarine tree !! GRRRR!
I raised my voice a bit.. they were convinvced the cover was under the mandarine tree and I argued no it’s not ! I’m not so stupid I’d plant a tree over a sewer cover or sewer line, geeess !
I told them well youse will have to wait a bit, let me take some thing’s out that I planted yesterday , so I made them wait. I rescued some garlic and the 2 new rhubarb crown’s.
ARGHHHHH !!!!
OMG, HP!!! That’s a bit of a liberty! I’d have freaked out!

Oh you poor thing HP! It all sounds very bad. They will have to restore your garden afterwards, but it won’t be the same. :(
You will have to put your foot down about restoration – you’re good at that!
I can’t imagine what they’re looking for – but yes, the body thing sprung to my mind! It will be a blockage of course.

I wouldn’t mind so much but exams are looming.
I didn’t know you could get whooping cough if you’ve been vaccinated.

Hi vege. I’m popping in and out ATM.
I keep reading answers to questions that my computer never lets me see. It is jumping pages and I don’t know where I am. Sorry if I’ve sounded ignorant by not answering somethings but I do know about HP’s latest predicament. I hope you get your gardens and lawns returned to normal when they finished HP. Buggerdammit!

I always thought…it lowered the chances and if you did catch it…it wasn’t as bad????????
Hi Veg and Bubba. I note that you made it through the crisis Veg. No ship washed up on the beach I see. Have your flood waters gone down yet?

whooping cough was pretty much eradicated, so people started getting slack with their immunisations. But there is always a risk that an o/s visitor or immigrant will bring it in. Don’t know if the original immunisation you get as a baby is a lifetime cover or if it wears off though.

Oh it get’s worse…they are gone for now to go get another machine to lift up the sewer line , they are also digging up other people’s yard’s. Some mighty peeved people a few door’s down. And IF they cant find whatever it is they are looking for, then the whole sewer has to be pulled up…that will include my orange tree, lemon tree chook’s shed, tool shed with concrete floor …none of these are over or even near the sewer line itself, but are in the way of machinery. Oh great .
I hope they find the bloody thing.. whatever it is , it better be worth it !!
I had to go to the train station to pick up youngest daughter and a worker remarked ‘” now that is one pissed off female !!” Maybe it was the way I drove out the driveway pedal to the floor…

you may be right about what you said Lucky, I don’t really know about how well the vaccination covers you. But I have heard that some mums were not vaccinating their children believing that it no longer was a risk in Australia, and then people started getting it again.

Still am ! Oh crap oh crap oh crap ..Now they are saying they have to bring in a bobcat and rip the sewer out . OH for crying out loud ! .. wonder if it’s a body ?? There goes my garden. I don’t want to look. I’m not looking…
lar lar larrr la larrr ..send the men in white coats will yous ..I’m going to need them..Oh you poor thing HP! It all sounds very bad. They will have to restore your garden afterwards, but it won’t be the same. :(
You will have to put your foot down about restoration – you’re good at that!
I can’t imagine what they’re looking for – but yes, the body thing sprung to my mind! It will be a blockage of course.
((((( HUGS )))))Oh it get’s worse…they are gone for now to go get another machine to lift up the sewer line , they are also digging up other people’s yard’s. Some mighty peeved people a few door’s down. And IF they cant find whatever it is they are looking for, then the whole sewer has to be pulled up…that will include my orange tree, lemon tree chook’s shed, tool shed with concrete floor …none of these are over or even near the sewer line itself, but are in the way of machinery. Oh great .
I hope they find the bloody thing.. whatever it is , it better be worth it !!
I had to go to the train station to pick up youngest daughter and a worker remarked ‘” now that is one pissed off female !!” Maybe it was the way I drove out the driveway pedal to the floor…
This is surreal.

I think HP is stressed enough without you getting upset too VG, although I’m sure she appreciates the sympathy. This is the risk you take when you buy a property with easements. An easement is when there is a part of the property that has some sort of public utility running through it like the sewerage or storm water drains or gas lines and such. You buy it understanding that there might be a time that you will have to allow access to the area for service, but you might get the land a bit cheaper as a result. Sometime there are rules attached like no structures to be built over it or something. You wouldn’t normally expect something this major to happen though!

I just found some posts from yesterday. Yahoo! This infernal machine will not get the better of me. The battle will continue.
Ok they have found it , thank goodness !! .. whatever it was it was up at another house. Phew! they don’t have to rip up the rest of the yard. It’s like a flamin crime scene here atm. Still , there’s a mess and they are cleaning up, including a big hose to back flush the pipe, whatever that mean’s.

Just in to mention a new gardening magazine that has hit the market. MrP bought it while waiting for my arrival at Bris airport.I haven’t read it thoroughly but it looks to have some merit. Would certainly be good for new gardeners. Seems to cover every subject from vegie growing to exotics etc.
This is the first issue so issue 2 will probably be worth a look to find out just which direction it takes from here.
It’s called “Good Gardening Guide” and costs $9. It’s published by Universal Magazines but there is no reference to it on their web page.
I love the English magazine “Kitchen Garden”. They REALLY get into their vegies. Of course, with the climate where I live having such cold winters and mild summers, this magazine is perfect for me, just that it’s roughly half a year out of sync. And their diseases and insects and some climate stuff isn’t accurate for me. But I get really excited about a four-page spread on, say, growing different types of berries. Or extending your growing season with cold frames, cloches and poly tunnels. “Only” costs $12 per issue, monthly, but it has easily more than twice the info on food gardening than any Aus magazine does.

You would not believe the dramas a certain eight year old girl can stir up. Screaming hissy fits for an hour at a time over sheer trivia. At high volume, with both adults pouring steam out of their ears, and the boys hiding in their bedrooms until it passes. Shirley she’ll calm down in her teens – after all the Feral Teenager was obnoxious for over a decade, and he’s bearable now. I live in hope!

90% of the time we get along really well. Depends on what kind of mood she’s in and whether I can distract/talk/joke/ her out of her bad moods – if I see them coming and catch them in time. The whole family revolves around her moods and needs (eg I can’t take Littlefella to the movies on the weekend because it’s not fair if she can’t come too, but if she stays up late she’s a wreck and it takes days to settle down again – so we don’t go anywhere of a night!).
Poor little bugger, she’ll get something stuck in her head and will worry away and then it clouds her ability to interact logically with the world. She’s immovable. So if she’s asked to do something like “get ready for bed” or “clean up your room” or “get ready for school” when she’s in one of those moods, we’ve got a 30% chance of deflecting it. So she went off her beam Monday night, then Tuesday morning, then she revved up for another blue when Mr Y was at TAFE on Tuesday night, so after an hour of talking/coercing/yelling (in roughly that order) I ended up driving her down to the TAFE and leaving her with him! It took about an hour and a half for Mr Y to get her calmed down, fed, pyjama-ed and into bed.
Stubborn and illogical, that girl. I keep telling Mr Y that she’s so much like the Feral Teenager at the same age (although not quite so high on the Richter scale) that it’s scary. Mr Y hasn’t got a lot of time for FT so he just gives me blank looks as if there’s no way she’s anything like him! But I can tell, y’see, because I’m the mother.
Oh well, there’s every chance Littlemiss will calm down when the legal stuff about custody is sorted out as her mother won’t be able to play silly mind games if there are court orders in place. Fingers crossed!

big clue there I think. so tough on kids that age when they can’t understand when they are being used. someone I knew would have to go through hours of reactive rage when her son came home after a weekend with his dad. once he had it out of his system he would be mostly OK until the next visit.

Reactive rage. Bluddy brilliant phrase – mind if I borrow it?
Every second Thursday Littlefella goes to his father for four consecutive nights. So before I dropped him at school this morning I reminded him that when he comes home on Monday afternoon that we really don’t need him being grumpy and rude, and blaming his rudeness on having to adjust to the “rules” at my house after the laissez-faire parenting that his father prefers.
Funnily enough, he’s been brilliant while Littlemiss has been off the planet, and we’ve had a couple of really good chats. They same to take turns at who’s going to be the feral one, while the other holds his/her breath and wears a halo!

Oh you’re a sweetie. But really there’s not a lot of damage.. well yeah there’s a big hole in the back yard , and I’m not allowed to touch it until they come back as they still have to do other work apparently , raise the level of the sewer or something. Could be this week or next.
The leek’s, russian garlic and spring onion’s got turfed out but they can be re grown. But the russian garlic I got from Thee’s plant swap… I wonder where I might get some of that one again. I’ll ask at the nursery.
It’s 9 door’s down that had their backyard dug up including a pergola that the dad had made for his daughter’s wedding. Apparently the poor fella got chest pain’s.
They could have gone about this a lot better I think , I mean in the 21 st century surely they have thing’s that can go up pipe’s to unblock… instead of upsetting people .. they almost went to pull out my mandarine tree and then would have found the sewer cover wasn’t there anyway… there’s 21 year’s of my sweat in my yard…and the martial art’s freak hubby is so relieved his hobby shed didn’t have to be ripped out with this huge wooden dummy thingo bolted to the shed floor.. and have to hurredly find a cage for chicken’s ect….city west water will be getting a stongly worded email from me.

i heard the electrical safety switch snap when all the lights in our house went off just on sunset. we went around the whole house turning things off. the last thing we turned off at the subboard was the hot water system and that was the problem. now i have to flush that sometime today after returning the daughter to her place.

There’s 4 bloke’s out there and one say’s gee’s great garden here..as he dropped bag’s of the concrete next to mandarine tree trunk (grrrr) “we need to get the hardwear in here”..well hubby standing next to me just covered his ear’s he knew I was simmering, I shot back ‘ if you break that tree, you’re going to be wearing your ‘hardwear’ as ear muff’s !! Lot’s of ‘ooo ouch’ muttering.
One little bit of luck though, one’s a gardener , he ooooohhd and aaarhhd aabout the fernery and vege’s and did say I could put a pot plant or such on the cover , but it must stay above ground ( I had buried it 40 cm down over the year’s ,ooopps) no doubt I’ll have something sitting on it soon enough.Happy Potter said:

Hey Bubba, did you see the letter to the editor in The Courier Mail, somebody had a toilet blockage, got it fixed one day, backed up a couple of days later…into the BCC’s “area”…BCC fixed the problem, charged the landowner, and advised that they are getting a lot of “sludge” blocks in the sewers these days, possibly because “there’s not much water going down them due to the water restrictions”…??

you all know what a Mexican wave is, don’t you? well a colleague of Mr GB’s was recounting a game he was watching (not sure what sport, one of the footballs). Well one of the players got knocked down and another player couldn’t stop in time and stepped into his groin area. Apparently in the crowd there was the reverse of a Mexican wave as all the men collectively and in sequence slumped and clutched themselves in sympathy. But then the player jumped up and waved he was OK and nothing vital had been trodden on! so there was a collective sigh from all the men. The women were unaffected by the incident.

Same with me. I can’t remember even feeling like I wanted to be defiant. I was the child and they were the parents and what they said was law. I never thought to question it until I was well into my teens. I recieved my fair share of wacks when necessary.
My parents didn’t know anything about psychology so they probably never had to worry as to whether they were scaring childish little brain or not. I only remember them as being fair and reasonable as I grew up. Anyway it was always my 2 brothers’ fault for every thing that went wrong……….says she adjusting her slipping halo.

Well I’ll be! !!! I wouldn’t have even thought about the lack of water going down but then I’m not being paid to keep the sewerage pipes operating.
I guess the Brisbaneites are grateful it did not reach the stage as in the Latin American countries and Turkey, to name a couple…they don’t flush the toilet paper…clogs the little pipes…the maid gets to dispose of the rubbish…

Most of the women had probably given birth at some time so their sympathy was negligible I suppose.

HP, glad your drama’s nearly over.
Your soil looks so rich and yummy! The chooks seem very interested in the proceedings.
Mr O40 (who has worked amongst these people) says that you should contact someone VERY high up in the sewer maintenance dept in City West Water. Chief engineer for starters. Report their attitude and behaviour as unacceptable while on your property. Just a suggestion :)
Evening All,
I’ve spent all afternoon outside again, doing the pavers still. I just got to the last of them and SOMEONE who shall be nameless pointed out that they were not level. Aaaaaaarrrrggggh! Actually they were level according to the lawn edge, but the lawn is far from level. Guess who is re-laying them. NOT ME.

I won’t touch the area until the cement is set and they come back and take the board thing away. Then I’ll get stuck into it and level it. That dirt pile up against the fence has buried my last bit of work there, the root barrier I had placed.
It’s wonderful dirt , year’s of me adding organic matter and it stay’s moist beautifully.

Hey Bubba, did you see the letter to the editor in The Courier Mail, somebody had a toilet blockage, got it fixed one day, backed up a couple of days later…into the BCC’s “area”…BCC fixed the problem, charged the landowner, and advised that they are getting a lot of “sludge” blocks in the sewers these days, possibly because “there’s not much water going down them due to the water restrictions”…??
No I didn’t but I’ve wondered about that myself with all the advice to not flush every time.

Are you fair dinkum VG? That’s like asking what’s the best way to skin a cat. It depends on what you’ve got to skin it with. SO what do you have to build a compost heap with?
veg gardener said:

from my understanding you need a mixture of nitrogen rich material and carbon rich material, oxygen and water. Nitrogen rich material will be green plant material, kitchen waste, manure & blood & bone. Carbon rich material is stuff like dried out plant material, dead leaves, paper and cardboard (shredded). Oxygen comes from the air.
You can build it in layers, or just mix it up all together and water it enough to be moist but not soaking wet. Animal bedding material is really good because you already have carbon and nitrogen mixed together.
If you have the mix right then the heap will start getting hot inside. after a week more or less it will start to cool down a bit and the heap will look smaller. If you turn if over at this stage you let more oxygen in and more water if needed and it should heat up again.
You can turn it a few more times if you want and after a few months you should have some nice rich compost for your garden.

Evening All,
I’ve spent all afternoon outside again, doing the pavers still. I just got to the last of them and SOMEONE who shall be nameless pointed out that they were not level. Aaaaaaarrrrggggh! Actually they were level according to the lawn edge, but the lawn is far from level. Guess who is re-laying them. NOT ME.
believe it or not – you get a ‘whacker’ (‘vibrating compactor’) to gently vibrate them all level after you’ve finished laying.

We encountered that in Greece. A woven cane basket beside the hole in the floor.
well my hot water system is on and so are the lights – so i must have got some of the sludge out of the tank.
i went to B on my way home today and bought a punnett of carrot seedlings. i’ve never transplanted carrots before so i’m getting desperate. also got some red cabbage seedlings – mainly for colour in the vege patch but they might be tasty.
and i picked 4 week old pak choy and had it in stir fry. lucky has inspired me to pick every thing a bit earlier.

i will plant them out of an evening. that always gives the seedlings a chance to reestablish their roots overnight.

we camped the night there and bought some bottles of wine as rent the next day…has it really been 3 years since that trip? wish we could do it again…
tip toeing in..shhh don’t want to wake anyone …whisper’s good morning.
Only just got giant son to bed , he had been awake nearly 50 hours with only an hour’s sleep in there..and any attempt by us to get him to bed was met with angry screaming. So we just monitered and kept the 24 hour crisis number within easy reach. He said he was getting jolt’s “ like an electric shock”, in his head.
But finally I can hear soft snoring. Yesss :)
I was distracted last night and worried that he would go lie down in my big bed and fall asleep and we wouldn’t have been able to move him, out for the count..and hubby and I would have had to sleep on the couch LOL.
Well I might as well stay up myself now and seeing as there’s been no rain…water the front garden at 6 am. It’s not seen water in week’s. Least this time I’ll be wide awake and not in pj’s standing out front , as is usual for me lol.
Time for a strong coffee !

Hehehe BG, one youngish fellow had a face full of metal and bright blue hair and I don’t think he knew what I meant when I called him Iron Smurf.
I’m actually quite surprised at how distressed I became and almost turned savage … there’s not much that faze’s me, but I felt like I was under attack.. my work, my artist’s masterpiece , was being trampled. The exact area they dug up was where I’d planted the spud’s, I’m glad I harvested them when I did, or the resulting spud fight would have made headline’s !!
Hmmmmm “ Melbourne City Water Worker’s Held Under Seige By Tuber Throwing Woman”They are comming out later this morning to finish the area , after that I’ll get to work in there and fix it.. My way.

Speaking of fungi, we have lots here too. Clumps of toadstools popping up through the mulch. Mostly creamy/grey but cute. The weather has been strangely mild without much sun and daily fog in the mornings. Everything is still very wet from the recent downpours. Must be perfect for fungi I guess.

G’day HP. No you didn’t wake me. I crashed at 9:30 so woke about 3;30. No matter what i couldn’t sleep again, so i got tired of tossing and turning and got up. Such is life.
Hi Longy—raining heaps here still—
I’m currently doing an online first aid course. Pretty basic but free. St Johns ambo’s.

Yes and it’s also a vicious circle. The more you wake up early, the more you crash early.
Good one Longy—I have been meaning to do one for ages—however they haven’t had one here and would have had to travel to Newcastle
It has never stopper here for over a week Longy day and night
I have been meaning to do one for ages
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This one is just a basic one Hopper, but if you want to do a senior one, you can often do them by getting a booklet from the training centres, read it. Answer a bunch of questions and then just go in to do the practical bit, so you can knock it off in a day.
I always wake early some times earlier than others—I don’t let it worry me—I just get up—
day and night
+++++++++++
Yeah i heard it was wet down there. You should send some to those southerners and stop being so greedy i reckon.
OK I asked and it was about 3 or 4 days the one I asked about

Yeah i often can’t wait to jump out of bed for a bit of ironing…..

It would be nice HP to have one BUT I don’t have room in my kitchen for one :(

hard to explain it in word’s

Yes i’ve read the manual and can get it pretty close but sometimes it’s not hot enough, other’s it’s not frothy or the bubbles are too big.

Ok I’ll try ..put the steam stick into the cold milk..about 1 cm under the surface, if big bubbles form then go a bit deeper , the surface of the milk shouldn’t be bubbling up.. or swirling around..leave it there untill the milk level rises and the jug starts to feel quite warm to the touch, then plunge steamer stick straight to the bottom untill the milk is hot. But not boiling, boil it and the coffee tast’s like crap. The trick is to get a smooth dense froth , not a big bubbly soapy looking mass

Yep :D
There’s a lot to it too…one whiff of the bean’s and I can tell you how fresh they are, on a good day lol.
There’s a lot to the grinding, and a lot to learn re the machine’s maintance.
Eg never ever leave a milk caked steam stick sit in a glass of water to clean it, milk contains an acid, as it ‘muddie’s’ the water the acid can get sucked up into the machine and damage internal line’s. Wipe with a damp cloth immediately.

The fat content of the milk makes it hard to froth, more fat -better froth. Skim milk is horrible to froth, but can be done of course. The less fat in the milk the colder it must be to get a good froth on it. That milk ‘ with the extra dollop’ with a tad more cream, is what makes the best froth.
Wow thats a good price Longy—

Just under double is about right, but it will settle slightly. Pour it immediately into the mug , dont need a spoon ..the froth goes in first then the milk 2 nd, that way the froth settles on top. See if you can make patterns with the crema marks on the froth, I can make a smiley face with the froth lol

Not really, the temperature of the milk is most important, the colder the better, if the fat is very cold to start wth, it reacts faster to heat and froths almost instantly
Yeah it doen’t work for me either. Hangon.
I have found that sometimes it is very hard to froth and have had the same trouble in a cafe as well—

OK. Beans or ground?
Bean’s only, ground coffee is only good for 2 hour’s.
if the fat is very cold to start wth, it reacts faster to heat and froths almost instantly
++++++++++
OK. SO half an hour in the freezer would be a good thing right?
What about the stainless steel jug, should it be chilled?
No not working Longy but not to worry—I will have a look later—thanks for that
Bean’s only,

OK. I could send you some if you like.

Correct, the stainless steel jugs are perfect , you can leave the milk in the jug in the fridge and it would be fine , but some icicle’s in the milk is good :D

Thanks for that Longy what a good deal—I pay $22 for this dial up—but can’t get BB on 98se—so will have to wait till I get the new puter
Oh wow..that would be fantastic !!

OK. Next time you talk to Lucky 1. Ask her to pass on my email address and i’ll send you a pack of beans. Blue Mountain. Just the smell is enough to get you hooked.

Fog has only just cleared…all the insect screens with open windows are dripping wet…this fog just means the breeze has dropped…fascinating fungii everywhere…tiny eenie star-topped things in the horse manure…does not bode well for the potato…
must check for fungi here tomorrow – we get mushrooms sometimes.
I haven’t been checking the weather on TV…that’s how little TV I watch…but what you’re getting sounds exactly like what has been happening up here…
weird…
Speaking of fungi, we have lots here too. Clumps of toadstools popping up through the mulch. Mostly creamy/grey but cute. The weather has been strangely mild without much sun and daily fog in the mornings. Everything is still very wet from the recent downpours. Must be perfect for fungi I guess.
so help me…stuffed up the “quote” again….

If I wash my hair and don’t ‘goo’ it, then brush it when it’s dry, I swear that every hair is perpendicular to the point that it leaves my scalp. Way scary.

Is yours still long and in a ponytail? Got mine short atm, can’t decide whether it’s easier because it dries quicker, or harder to look after because I have to put goo in every day without fail. Can’t win – except when people tell me how gorgeous my hair is (that’s on its good days I guess). I store up the positive strokes because … gasp! … I’ve got a grey hair, so I’m on the downhill run.
Hair’s a kiddie-scaring story … real one, so no punchline, be warned!
A dozen years ago, moved into a new (rented) house, talked to the neighbour and her toddler son over the back fence, all good. A few weeks later I said hello over the fence, toddler screamed and screamed at me and wouldn’t stop. The next day, his mum explained. Apparently toddler’s dad had long wiry/curly hair that he always wore in a ponytail. Dad was rumbling the toddler one day, the band holding his ponytail broke and it all sprang out as he was shaking his head and growling at the toddler. Result, one screaming, scared baby!!
I’d had my long curly hair either in a pontyail or under a hat the first dozen times I’d chatted over the fence, but this particular day my hair was out. Deja vu for the toddler, poor thing, he was terrified.
Thenceforth if the neighbour called out hello over the fence, I’d warn her if my her was out, so the little bloke didn’t have to lay eyes on me!

All five school shirts, his shirt and trousers for cadets, his school jumper, and some tshirts and a pair of trousers just because he felt like it!
He did this once before, in the January school holidays, about the same time as he was learning French via one of those courses-on-tape from the library. Short answer: hot Belgian exchange student.

He likes it so the spoon stands up in it. At least every hour.
But you’re not a pommy are ya?
your story about the neighbour’s kid reminded me of someone I once knew telling me about her nephew who came into her room while she was brushing her hair and burst into tears. Apparently the whole family wore glasses, and she didn’t have hers on and it was the first time he had seen her without!

Why not?
An ADSL router doesn’t know what operating system you are using Grassy.
If the BB company sells routers get them to give you instructions to set it up using the built in web interface.
Or better still, go to an ISP which sets it up before they send it to you. Westnet do I think.
Don’t accept that the lack of a set up disk will stop you.
You might need to put in a network card though, that’ll set you back $15-20.

There was a nearly new Italian coffee machine on freecycle not long ago. Needless to say I was too slow. :(

We have got one of them where I do voluntary hours except they use macadamia flavoured coffee beans which I don’t like. I like my coffee to to taste like good coffee. Just coffee!
Well it looks like the cloud is gone. The skies are clear and the air isn’t so heavy with moisture. Still not cold tho.
Might be able to get out into the yard to do some work later today.
Picked a heap of citrus fruit yesterday. Oranges (2 varities) Lemonades and mandarines. Spent hours peeling and juicing. Excess juice has been frozen in baggies for later use.
BTW, the Lemonades are delicious. Membrane is kinda tough but that could be because they have struggles to survive without any care for the past 2 years.
Have a good Sunday!

Morning Pomolo, same here! I’m not familliar with the flavoured grind’s because I only buy the bean’s to grind fresh.
But you know , there is alway’s someone who will impose their will opon us and try to change what we think we like. I’d take me shirt off and protest but it’s winter. heh heh
morning
can’t be blowed reading the chat.
ms pepe is slowly improving – she had three sleeps yesterday and snored like a stuffed up flu sufferer all the time. will i get it next is always the question?
Morning all, bit chilly here at the ‘estate’

g’day thee – overcast and promising rain on pepes prairie north of lucktland.
Good morning all…overcast today, my feet still hurt (good sign of impending rain)…at least it is rain and not storms…I don’t think the on the farm behind us will be happy…don’t the seeds on the heads sprout if the rain and moisture hangs around?
Off to check my hapless spud…
Bought some sea salt and some kelp fertilizer yesterday…
Methinks it will be a fire night tonight, shame MrD won’t be here…(work calls)…but hey! I’ll eat his s’more for him…the breeze is a steady south-easterly which is always the cold one…
Off to check my hapless spud…Bought some sea salt and some kelp fertilizer yesterday…

morning dinetta.
I admire people who experiment but its not obvious to me what the sea salt is for. Nor can i understand why you persist with a single spud. The maximum possible return is ten spuds IMHO.
Why don’t you add the wood ash, fork over the whole pile and plant (say) a kilo of certified seed in the freshly turned soil, then pile up the mulch and manure as the new plants grow?
Any chance of a photo of this brave spud and half metre high pile?
good morning peoples
got guinea pig and duck pens to much out today – all good stuff for the compost :)

Good Morning Folks,
We have a pleasant sunny day here in downtown Lalaland.:)
Hopefully I’ll get that project finished today, yesterday we were out all day. We went to a model railway show, which Mr O40’s just getting into. It was quite interesting. The ingenuity of some people to create whole towns and dioramas in miniature is amazing. Think I’ll stick to gardening though!

…but Pepe, didn’t you say sea salt was what The Cook used, together with olyve oyl, to layer the basil prior to freezing it? Was it rock salt after all???
You don’t have to understand why I am persisting with a single spud…can’t buy certified seed locally, most people use supermarket spuds apparently…yes I know that is bad, I have asked for seed spuds to no avail, and I don’t have the space for lots of spuds if I don’t know how to grow them…
I am persisting with this single spud as a learning experience, which I’m sure I’ve mentioned before…10 spuds on a plant would make me very happy and I would then try for more next year…
the pile was never a metre and a half high…go tease somebody else, you!!! big grin…but I pushed it aside to go down and find out what was happening at the base when all the leaves fell off the plant…
potatoes and me could be like rhubarbs and Lucky…

fair enough – must be the early morning – i knew all that.
i’m letting a few spuds grow with little chance of harvesting much – they just come up from last years crop.
so proceed and forget i asked the dumb question.

Sounds like you had a relaxing and worthwhile visit… you make the train set-ups sound very interesting…

Yes, I’ve seen it, BG. It looks good :) Too big a scale for us though.
>Morning all, bit chilly here at the ‘estate’
It was 1.3C here today and 0.1C yesterday morning…
Heyas , back again. My happening’s today :
One crook chook , well it’s getting better now but had been sick a week , problem was I didn’t know which one was ill because all I could see was one had blood in it’s runny dropping’s … it’s taken me this long to find out what possibly happened.. in my rocket fuelled vege patch where thing’s grow too fast , I noticed the rhubarb has shot up and out, ( it hasn’t heard of winter yet !) one leaft stalk sticking through the wire mesh fence and yep, it has all the marking’s of a chook beak on it. Look’s like that may have been what it ate. Now temporarily fixed and the feathered one’s can’t get to it again.
I’ll move the plant later on. I still don’t know which chook it was because they all looked fine, all red comb’s and eating drinking well.
Taking some rubbish to the bin I had a fight with the colourbond gate , the panel had lifted off at the bottom.The gate won..my poor sore little toe all bandaged …obviously with the constant use of this gate the nails had vibrated out. Mr’s fixed that now with screw’s.
I will gently pull my boot’s on and finally get out to the wrecked part of the patch , and do a patio clean up too.
And I just boiled some egg’s dry…
BBL green one’s .. if I survive lol.
Arvo All.

These are whole beans that the machine grinds before it brews the coffee. The same as using fresh beans. I personally love macadamias but not in my coffee thank you.
Did a hardware update on my desktop yesterday. Cost me about $260.
Gee it’s quick now.. New Athlon6000+ dual core (3ghz) $160.
4GB of 800MHz dual channel RAM – $114.
Of course the installation was free… 8^)
Did it mainly for games performance.. Call of Duty 4 at the moment..
Now, back to your weeding you lot!

COD4 is pretty good..

the cook is cooking – she’s remarkable in that she reads between bouts of preparation – when i cook there’s no time to scratch myself but not her ….. must be timing and experience.

It never ends at your place, does it HP?
As for rhubarb and chooks, mine browse on the leaves of my rhubarb with no ill effect, but maybe yours overindulged?

Never a boring moment here BG !
Everything I see and every site I read on rhubarb say’s not to feed the leaves to animals as they are poisionous. I’m just assuming the chook ate this and got sick. I hadn’t fed them anything different , and I hadn’t let them out to forage for a while, except one day last week.
One chook will tend to roam away from the rest, who all love to forage around the pond area together , so I think it was the lone wanderer that got sick.
All good now though, dropping’s back to normal.

Ok I asked him that as he wear’s a headset constantly whilst on his PC, and he said the headset works , so he can talk to them, but the mic doesn’t work.. I didn’t know that lol. New headset comming up..
Peace will be mine !!
Thanks Collie !
rhubarb leaves are high in oxalic acid, and in large quantities are a problem. It is possible some animals are more tolerant than others. If your chook ate some all at once then it could well have been what made her sick.
I didn’t know that lol. New headset comming up..
Peace will be mine !!
Thanks Collie !

No worries!
I have just made a you-beaut pumpkin soup…used up a pumpkin that was pitted with mould (but very shallowly), two of our home-grown minnikins (directly related to triffids) because their stems had come off during picking and they were going soft at that spot…shrivelled capsicum…baby capsicum sooooo tough…have been in the fridge for 2 months and still hard as…saved those seeds…a whole corm of garlic (extravagant!) and of course the usual onions and potatoes…oh and a very nice sweet yellow potato…added a whole quartered lime instead of salt…and a good couple of teaspoons of Sonny Joe’s bird’s-eye chilli from two years ago…I put 3/4 (plus all the lime pieces) through the Oscar and mashed the rest…served with shop bread (sadly, too stuffed with the big clean-up to be patient enough to make my own this time) and Greek style yoghurt…Sonny Joe was searching for the Tabasco sauce but I said “you won’t need it”…
Can I brag? Huh? Can I? It was one of my best efforts…
However, I don’t think the minnikins will be keepers…not sure if I can freeze the cut pieces??

I remember cold wet afternoons when it felt like the marrow in your bones had frozen, and soup like that would feel like you had dropped an ember into your stomach… oh the warmth it would bring.
Just spent this morning walking through the humid nearby jungles, and now I return to home, a drizzly grey cloud has descended and it looks miserable outside (despite the 28C temp)… I could go a bowl of that soup right now ;)

Well my now vegetarion MrP is having a go at stuffed eggplant with rice, garlic, capsicum, basil and some other things, for tonights dinner. He is taking this diet thing so seriously and he is seeing the good results too. All I know is I will eat anything if someone else cooks it.
Good Evening…
Hi Ms Spock. All of the Beautiful People are off having fantastic 4-star dinners at fancy restaurants, and I’ve just had pasta out of a packet (with added fresh vegies, of course). It’s bluddy cold here, wind’s a-howling, should go to the pub for a quiet one but a cup of tea is more appealing. I’m getting boring in my old age.
And you?

Hello Yeehah.
OH aren’t those beautiful people so annoying?
Well I just got back from Sydney. I went to see jennajones today. I looked at the lizards and they are coming along nicely.
The bats did not like their medicine. They made funny faces and let the medicine drip out of their mouths. lol
We went to see the bat colony in Turella but no one was home.
I caught up with a friend on the way back on the train which was really nice.
I had baked ricotta cheese tart and salad for dinner. Delicious.
One more piece of the tart and then it is all gone. So sad. :(
Very wet and windy here too.
I once had a yummy Ricotta, pumpkin and pine nut tart, but the cook never did give me the recipe. :(
Sounds like a lovely day out, Ms S.
Mr Y and I are a bit lost this weekend, plenty of things to fill the days but without the little kids to chase (access visits to non-custodial parents) our evenings are dull. The Feral Teenager took me for a drive, and I think he may have a chance at passing his P plate test. Fingers crossed.
Because we don’t have fussy kids to feed, I have been cooking up a few meals we don’t usually eat. I made ricotta and spinach filo triangles 2 nights ago, and last night a gorrrrgeous mushroom and barley ‘risotto’. I thought it was a good way to use up the pearl barley I’d bought ages ago to thicken stews – but Littlefella balked at it.
This morning Mr Y very considerately added pearl barley and mushrooms to the shopping list on the fridge, kind soul that he is!

I haven’t but maybe I should. He was a chef and had just made it up without a recipe. He always promised to try and write it down but all I ever found out was that the pumpkin was baked first.
Try it on a range of search engines with the ingredients in different orders.
You might find one that is close.

And let me know. ;)

There was one memorable (for everyone but me)occassion in my late teens when a mate of MrBL lead me astray, at a city club, on tequila slammers. I’m told I was asleep under the pool table while he was playing the piano with his feet.

It wasn’t like clubs are now. It was called The State Service Club and it was an absolute dive. I think our group were the only ones in it’s history to be asked to leave and not come back.

Well it has been really nice chatting to me…must do it again sometime…heading back to the hills as I have been working all night…today I have assignments to assist with…so help me, what icon do you think represents the Australian Identity? Did I tell you I found an article that said Australia doesn’t really have an identity like a lot of cultures…that’s why the influx of others of different religions and cultural heritages doesn’t really faze us…then there is Vegemite…after my nap I might research the history of Vegemite…got to be a couple of lines in there somewhere…later Dinetta…no worries hon…it’s worth it so you can get to choose your retirement home later…much later I hope…yep reckon I’m good for another 20 years yet…or 30…or 40?that takes me to 93…hey you’re only halfway through your life, how about that
Hooroo

Australian Identity eh? I think if you want a person you would need to think of someone who every Australian knows his/her story. Ned Kelly comes to mind, but so does Steve Irwin…

Morning all, already been out in the garden doing some weeding, came in for a little break. checked the new compost bays and bay 1 is full and is hot bay 2 is empty black bin is empty as well.

sounds good so far VG :)
when you are ready to turn over the first lot of compost, you just turn it into the empty bay. then you can start a new one in the first bay, or leave it empty to turn the first lot back into later or you could use the black bins when it has mostly broken down if you want just to let them finish off.

Thanks,BG. He’s still in there with no news yet. Waiting for a Doppler Ultra sound. I’m trying to find a bus to take me to the local hospital where we left the car yesterday. Hopefully I’ll remember how to drive….. I’m not supposed to, but it’s a very short drive home. Then I’ll work out how to get to visit Mr O40 by bus. Being a public hol makes it tricky.
O40, I wish you and MrO all the best, hopefully an answer is sooner rather than later. One of my friends last year had the same thing and they never found out why… they thought it was a mini-stroke but tests disproved it. He was very tired and couldn’t concentrate or focus very well at the same time…

yes that is ture all ready spent most of the weekend raking leaves from the fruit trees up, weeds to the chooks leaves to the compost bin which was yesterdays job.
are there many leaves left on the fruit trees?

only a few on the mullburrey tree all the rest are in the compost bins

==================
We had a woman at work on night shift a month or so ago who we thought was having a stroke. She is mid 30s, heavy drinker and smoker, sedentary, bad family history, and dabbled in powder drugs.
She was complaining of pain down one side, blinding headache, weakness in one hand, then arm and lack of feeling in the foot on that side. She showed a difference in light reaction in her pupils.
Ambulance came and took her away, she was out of hospital the next day. Day after she was back at work. No ill effects. None.
I hope all is well to your patient too. Fingers crossed.

Sadly, she’s not impressed with Ned Kelly, and says that nobody remembers The Don….sorry…don’t know what they teach them in Australian history these days…she is going with the emu and especially the Kangaroo…as neither takes a step backwards….don’t know how she’s going to build this one…
Thanks for the help anyway…

Thanks,BG. He’s still in there with no news yet. Waiting for a Doppler Ultra sound. I’m trying to find a bus to take me to the local hospital where we left the car yesterday. Hopefully I’ll remember how to drive….. I’m not supposed to, but it’s a very short drive home. Then I’ll work out how to get to visit Mr O40 by bus. Being a public hol makes it tricky.
Never rains but it pours eh O40? Or so it seems.
We went for a drive up to Mt Mee this afternoon, on one of our semi regular fact finding missions to keep track of land prices.
There were so many wallabies out and about, many more than usual. I wonder if the cool wet weather makes them more active.
I really, really want to buy up there.

That’s right Pom!
I’ve got the car home OK. been to the hospital to visit. No news yet, more tests tomorrow . At least they’ve ruled out stroke or TIA as a cause. It’s a process of elimination.
It was my middle sister’s birthday last Sat so the three of us (sisters) are going out for lunch tomorrow.
I’ve got a pot roast, my first, all ready in the fridge so I can just tip it into the slow cooker in the morning.

You’d be very welcome too, but you might regret it. I’ve never done one before and I couldn’t find a recipe I liked so it’s sort of a compilation.
I floured the meat and sealed it in a hot pan. Chopped onion, carrot, parsnip and swede into big pieces and poured over about 1/2 cup merlot, 1 cup water (stock would have been better but I didn’t have any), 2 tablesp worcestershire sauce and 2 teasp french mustard.
Does that sound right to all you cooks out there?
Good morning – will try to catch up in next few days! Have been to Caboolture all weekend – my first show with
http://www.seqwa.net/ – Fri arvo and most of Saturday then flat out all day yesterday getting sister’s vegetable garden set up and planted out before dark. She made a temporary duckpen for me while I did that. Home today but a lot to catch up on. Hope everyone is well. Have photos from the weekend to post later. Better go to bed now.
Good night :)
Hmm. I thought i had sleeping problems. Cackles was up at 2!

They’re normally night active Bubba, but if the days are cool and especially if they’re wet days, they’ll be about thru the daylight hours. So yes, you got it in a nutshell.

You’ll only need to get one. They’re easy to propagate. Plant them, if possible, so the chooks can reach thru the wire and pinch a bit occassionally. It’s good for them.

Hey Hopper. You’re a bit late today:-)

Yes a bit late this morning visitors—

Ah. Knocked over a few bottles of Jacks did we Hopper;-)
Nah not here Longy never touch the stuff
We’re getting rain again. SHowery stuff. Maybe 10mm yesdy.
Just enough to be annoying. Might throw some fert around today.
I don’t think we had rain last night—for the 1st time this month—got a few trees removed yesterday as we had a break in the weather but more rain expected this afternoon and for the reat of the week
got a few trees removed yesterday
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Did any cocos palms get culled?
Yes one that was in the driveway—and I had another 2 removed—by Prof’ a month ago—stil have 9 to go but they are HUGE
stil have 9 to go but they are HUGE

Well at least you are rid of some of them. How much do they charge to drop them Hopper?
was $30 to remove the two—smallish ones—but will be about $350 . $400 each for the big ones :(
Grasshopper said:

Holy toledo. $2700+ to get rid of the lot. Would they fell them or take them in sections?
back now
veg gardener said:

Did you have breakfast VG?
Have to take them in sections—they are huge—is there a product that kills the ones that are coming up all over the place—I have been pulling them out—but they just pop up all over the place even though the seeds have been there for many years—

About the only way would be a selective herbicide. Like a broadleaf spray maybe???? Even so, it won’t work until they germinate.
Best if you can remove the fruit before it ripens but if they’re that high it’d be a major chore.

you beat me to saying that it won’t work until they germinate.
Yep no chance they are too tall
That was weird. I’m doing an induction for a facility i work at sometimes and the thing uploaded onto the forum. Good thing i didn’t hit submit.

How tall Hopper?
Hey Pom. Long time no read. I see you are still a regular GA user.

MMM nice.
A serious extension ladder and an extension lopper combo. Lots of annual fun there!
5 minutes till i leave the building with this new hair cut.
Yes and quite dangerous also

You can hire them Hopper.
Yes I guess you can must ask how much they would be for the day—I don’t know if they have them here though ?

You’d need a ticket to operate or pay for an operator.
Maybe you could get your ticket Hopper. Be good for whale watching too!
morning , just took the youngest to the train station and there was much much less traffic, the petrol price is biting hard eh.
Now for a cuppa.
Yes I guess it would be dear to hire —would love to get my ticket—maybe if I was a bit younger I might have done that
G’day HP. I’m on my third cuppa.
I mailed L1 re your addy to send some coffee.

Probably.
Here the station’s car park is overflowing with car’s parked on nature strip’s , all over the place and the council for once is being kind and not handing out ticket’s to them. A new carpark is needed and a better bus service to the station too.
There’s a business in your town called Shane Gill Backhoe and cherry picker hire.
Might be worth a gander Hopper.
Well as hard as it will be for people to handle these hikes in fuel prices, it’s the wonly way we will seriously slow down our use of fossil fuels. Besides, it has been our generation that used all the fuel, so we should be the ones to pay, not future generations. IMHO.
I will have a look Longy but I think it would work out quite expensive—more so than getting them prof’ done

Yes that’s true.
How’s it going with frothing milk , any better ?
Crikey. That business is in Gladstone Qld. Strange that i found it in your area community guide!
Better be off soon to sweep the drive after yesterdays cutting etc
How’s it going with frothing milk , any better ?

Haven’t tried again yet HP. I’m not a daily user, just occassional. I don’t really like coffee made with milk most of the time.
Can you use those machines just to make a decent water coffee?

OK Hopper. HAve a great day. If i ever get one of my work trucks with the crane down your way i’ll come and cut the bludgers down for you:-)

Also taking the tram out to Glenelg………(sorry about spelling there) as there is a wool shop that sells sock wool out there. My sister & I found the shop very early in the year. Want to show the elf and I have been working hard towards some $$$$ to buy some sock wool.
Also as a very special treat…. if the weather is okay…… fish & the chip with the seagulls for lunch:D
So every one have a green day…..

gotta go do some domesticated things. back later.
Good afternoon -:)
Yep insomnia – but light sleeper and everthing a bit out of whack lately as far as regular sleeping pattern…
Not exactly helped by medication for ADD – and too much coffee – Caboolture water is horrible – no wonder my sister has given up drinking tea made with it!
Crackles,
get a filter for the water for drinking. i had a filter that was setup inline with tap, so you flick a switch to use filter. the filter was charcoal & resin combo, producing a crystal clear water whenever needed.

Din din time . BBL
it was one of those days today – g’day.
i wanted to buy and spread sand – but i had to buy petrol, straw and barley seed first without the trailer attached to the car – then, with the trailer i bought my sand but when i got it home i noticed that a lot of sticky stuff was in my wheelbarrow path. so i mulched the sicky stuff with the mower, and noticed i couldn’t leave the gate open so i had to move the chooks, i couldn’t move the chooks or the potplants without setting up the new chookhouse and cleaning out the old henhouse. whilst i was cleaning out the old henhouse i may as well spread the mulch….. and on and on it went!
my whole garden setup has been changed
- i’ll spread the compost and plant the barley tomorrow.

yeah – everything takes four times longer than you imagined.
and the joy comes from chance observations -
– i noticed the chooks are very happy in the old garden bed – they are grooming each other rather than pecking.
- and after mulching the vege patch i noticed how much better it looked even though the plants were the same. because of the even, straw coloured backdrop all the green plants suddenly stand out and look good.

Well, that was me the night before last. I was wide awake between 3am and 4am. Looked at photo albums and gave myself all lovey gooey feelings about my kids :) Gosh, they’re gorgeous when they’re little. Even the photos I took of screaming hissy fits are gorgeous now … even though they most definitely weren’t at the time!

Looked at photo albums and gave myself all lovey gooey feelings about my kids :) Gosh, they’re gorgeous when they’re little. Even the photos I took of screaming hissy fits are gorgeous now … even though they most definitely weren’t at the time!
It won’t be long and you’ll be telling your friends that YOUR kids were NEVER any trouble! lol!
made sorrel soup today, my first time, and it turned out great.
recipe:
a large bowl or such of sorrel leaves without stalks (enough to fill the cooking pot to brim once cut up)
wash the leaves and drain, then grab as bunches to chop with a big knife into about 1cm strips.
place sorrel into cooking pot. get a jugful of boiling water to mix with about 2 heaped teaspoons of good vegie stock powder or two large cubes of stock. dissolve and put into the pot with the sorrel. put onto a slow boil for about 20 minutes….meanwhile cook some white rice separately, and hardboil some eggs. cool the eggs with cold water for a few minutes (makes it also easy to peel), peel them, and rinse in cold water. turn off the heat on the sorrel, and after a few minutes to cool down a little, blend briefly, leaving some texture.
rice will be ready at same time as the sorrel soup. strain rice if required. put rice on bottom of bowl, say 1/3 full, then put in one egg cut in half lengthways. pour over the sorrel soup, and optionally a little thick cream on top.
bon apetit.

Not bluddy likely!!!!! Maaate, you’ve heard me go on about the Feral Teenager for a few years, off and on, and I’ve never put the serious stuff on the net. And I don’t like fibbing. But it’s nice now to be able to say “gee he was a shocker for the first 15 or so years of his life, but he seems to be turning out alright now”!
I’ve got plenty of stories saved up to tell the grandkidlets about how horrible their parents were. Ammunition ;) so that I get to bond really well (by feeding them red lollies and letting them stay up late watching unsuitable movies).
i had a day off work….but sure was a lot of work…looking after sick daughter. she’s getting better now.

I’ve never even seen let alone smelled or eaten sorrel, wouldn’t have the faintest whether I’d like it or not. Must do some research, to see if I want to grow it in my new garden.

How old is she now Aquarium? I’ve lost track.
it’s a bit sourish/tangy, but definitely not sour as rhubarb or lemon.

Littlefella is nearly 11, Littlemiss is nearly 9, so Miss Personality slots neatly into the “two years younger” category.
Oops, Mum’s Taxi just got page, BRB.
We arrived home today at 6.30 from in the city and the other side…..man what a day we had…. got some sock wool and bargains at the market.
Tomorrow a bit slower… though the elf does have a dentist app. Me I am happy to wait until next month:D

Yep, in january.
having children is very rewarding, and also very taxing at times. like a soccer/football game that goes for about 20 years.

was looking at my orange tree today wondering if they were any where near ripe yet, but they are usually not ready until near the end of winter.

Had a horror scope session wth the boss today.
Remember I said I was trying to reform him? Today I told him he NEEDS to go on an Effective Communication course.
He was pretty shocked.
But he was very apologetic and said he doesn’t mean to be like that. So he will be getting more “feedback” as it arises, just as he wishes. Lock and load.

Well, it only took about an hour and a half to catch up! Even included a break to collect FT from cadets and buy us a chockie at the servo.
Gawd, how about idiomatic Australian language for a fun study … chockie … servo …. brekkie … troppo … berko … gutsy …

Animals are pestering me to have their dinner, their time clocks are excellent, considering it’s at a different time every night. How they know it is an hour since I gave the big boy his pill I’ll never know!!

hey cackles – I see you :D
was just noting down all these plant names – #1 daughter is going to be so impressed! :D
Hello – am still around for a bit – have been trying to sort through some pics I took at our waterfowl show need to get Exhibitors and bird details – as I can’t tell a goose from a gander or the geese breeds – yet :)
A neighbour a few doors along the street returned my mailbox tonight – located in his garden. The 3rd mailbox i have had – locals think it great sport to vandalise things as they stagger home from wherever -some I think back to Bond Uni nearby…I noticed it gone when I arrived home yesterday.
Hi BG – lots of sources of cuttings there! It looks like a lovely lot of plants
And that must be most named now I think?
cackles said:

Hi to you diehards. On my way to bed but I forgot to say that I am going away (again) tomorrow. Won’t return till the w/e. More Grandmothering to be done. It’s getting to the stage where I don’t completely unpack my suitcase anymore.

story time now,
One day there was a boy in his teenage years, setting at the computer in the dark with only the computer screen lighting up his face. so he starts getting worried and wouldn’t move a mussel. So he starts Knocking in cyber space and yelling out ANY ONE OUT THERE! there was no reply for a while.
LOL – we’ve already said good morning, Veg! Hi to all others :)

the problem with spell checkers is that you could have the wrong word spelled correctly!
morning folks.
Morning All,
A nice bright morning here. We had wind and rain in the night. I’m so glad I raked up tons of leaves yesterday, it looks exactly the same now as before. A carpet of willow leaves :)
Off to the hospital again today. Both Mr O40 and I have to have an MRI today. (mine is to do with my eyes). I’ve heard of togetherness but this is ridiculous! LOL
Hey Orchid I hope all goes well with the MRIs and so forth.

as the boy got older he gave up trying to talk to cyber space and just rambled on in a way that pleased himself and possibly no one else….

Lol and I missed you too! Hello and goodbye to BG, O40 and any others as well :)
what is this? more people are leaving the forum than are coming these days.
i’ve heard of grand entrances but these goodbyes are becoming epics LOL.
evening all..I’ve had a lovely day with visiting friend’s and putting head’s toghether over some project’s . I made some curried egg dip and parmesan crisp’s, it went like mad. So simple but really enjoyed . The coffee machine was gurgling it’s head off.
Then after they all left I got a call from the nursery , my dwarf fruit tree’s were in.. just went and collected them now and they are sitting in pot’s of water. One is a granny smith apple and it needed another apple to pollinate it, so got a dwarf pink lady apple tree as well. Because of space I will plant them both in the same hole.
I can’t wait to get this fruit tree bed finished and mulched ! Youse know what a project is like, one become’s extremely restless and it wouldn’t matter if it snowed or the sky fell inl, an opportunity to play in the dirt takes precedence hehehe.
Along it’s border’s I will plant flower’s, gerberas and other thing’s I have saved , in spring :D
Off to rustle up some grub..
g’day OC40 – your situation seems stable – heres hoping .
i’ve caught the ‘flu.

Oh Pepe, I told you NOT to get it! I guess it’s togetherness again LOL.Hope you don’t have it too badly.

Don’t EVER handle that stuff without gloves and mask BG , also long sleves, you you don’t want that pnumonia. I was previously fit and healthy.
My family got so scared , I reckon that’s all that saved me. It was many month’s too before I could walk any distance or stand for long. I nearly didn’t make it so please take notice.
There’s a warning on every bag too.

you’ve got a cold as well? must be the season. although i think schools breed viruses – my wifes a teacher – that how i came to have my flu.
Grasshopper said:

the sun is most welcome here as well. as is the rain.
i’ve relocated the chooks so have managed to get my little potting shed back. its the warmest place in winter and i might be able to get some winter tomatoes if i upgrade it a bit.
We haven’t had a lot of sun here although it hasn’t been cold—but they say it will get to about 16 on the weekend—thats cold for here

a 16 degree max is cold for here as well. the biggest danger to vege gardening here at present is slow growth when winter really sets in. and we’re about to cop five cold fronts in a row. could be real winter soon. its cold here when the max is 13 and the min 5.
Morning all awake ..I took youngest girl to the train station and talked to her about car pooling, miss princess would have none of that ! might get smelly people lol. But I added that I can’t keep taking her , there are bus’s to the station and that didn’t go down well either, she would have to get up even earlier !!( said she with a shocked look ) Welcome to adulthood kid , it will get worse lol.
yes the real cold’s about to start, severe local frost forcast for sunday morning.
Pepe hows those tomatoes going , are you going to leave them in the hothouse ?

morning HP.
my little potting shed is about 1.7×3.6m but needs new polycarb on the north wall in place of the recycled fibreglass thats there. if i did that i could grow my winter toms inside. they are already 4 foot high.
yes its hard weening the kids off reliance on their parents. car pooling is a great idea – you have to find a suitable pooling partner though.

are you on any freecycle groups Pepe ? I often see such materials given away.
I can gently steer the princess toward’s car pooling , I pointed out the overloaded car park and how many car’s on the freeway’s have one person in them, appealing to her enviromental side. More gentle prodding needed.

whats freecycle?
the cost of 3 new sheets is not prohibitive. its cold out there this morning. i might insulate the ceiling as well and make myself a warm spot for winter gardening.
kids are very environmentally aware and appealing to their altruistic mentality is usually successful – keep prodding LOL.

Freecycle group’s, via yahoo email group’s , is a recycling initiative by people listing stuff they no longer want, thus keeping it from landfill. I have listed heap’s and cleared out half a shed.. and gained some lovely gardening book’s from a lady nearby.
After you have made offers you can place wanted ad’s too. I set up a seperate email account to cope with the email’s.
No – a lovely morning here – couldn’t tell temp but can look! I had intended to sleep in as still awake at 2 am – but ducks chanting and I needed to attend to a few things.
Car has wood shavings all through it from carrying 7 ducks on ute passenger seat at weekend – and straw etc in back for one thing…

sounds good – but i’ve got my own demolition and waste materials which i have been recycling for the past 3 years. i need specific greenhouse polycarb if its going to work as a hothouse. i’ve got a ton of leftover plasterboard and villaboard if i install a ceiling. so at this stage i’m tidying up rather than accumulating more.
Right, I am ‘garden ready’ with old work clothes and glove’s on, spade and fork clean..I have a dwarf fruit tree bed to plant out. The prep work is done and the ground soft so it won’t take me long. Could I call it a mini orchard ? lol

hey grassy! send it down our way! :D
Hi Blue yes I wish I could send it to you we have had enough—
although the soil here is now staying damp on the surface with the cooler weather, we still need some good falls to soak into the subsoil and to top up our reservoirs.
Yes I have friends down your way and they tell me of the rain they have had—so very little—we have had rain all summer and almost all this year too except for May that was quite dry

Hmm. Sometimes a veg-out weekend is good. I did that last weekend. This Saturday we’re going to Armidale (99km away) because there’s a new motorbike being launched and Mr Y feels the need to be there :P
The payoff is that he gets to entertain the kids for a couple of hours while I do some stress-free shopping. I love wandering around shops on my own, but he and the kids get bored. Gotta think of something for them to do. Might check the cinema, hmm.

u think armidale is a nice place last time me mum and dad went there on holidays when we went in Nsw then to QLd then back to nsw down ur way. me and dad had a round of golf there it was good. the shops where big. nice place to stay. one reason that was they had broadband :) and Foxtel.
Glen Innes has very limited shopping. Apart from little boutique-y shops, there’s a Country Target for shopping. And a Big W catalogue in my mailbox has lots of specials, so I’ll just swan about scanning shelves and price tags. The days that I go with two things on my shopping list are the days I find unexpected bargains, so here’s hoping.
I’m checking out some Freecycle sites atm, having followed a link that someone posted here earlier. Can’t find anything within a couple of hundred kms though. Cést la vie.

yes it is, it was raining here before. Gardening Australia expo in sydeny in august (last weekend i think) Uncle Pete’s last show. Guess who wants to go and meet him and the hike is ment to be on in August.
No I have no want to go and meet him—and a trip to Sydney is very low on my list—glad I am out of there

Morning !
I got my fruit tree planted out yesterday , almost finished now, just need’s mulch now. And overnight 4.6 ml of rain watered it all in , what fab timing :D
There’s space for 2 dwarf cherry tree’s still to come yet, apparently the mini tree’s are comming out too small, growing to less than one meter tall , so I’m waiting on a multiple , black white and red cherries on one tree, to be released, and I’m rapt to see that I still have room for several more of the little tree’s so I’ll be looking at what other dwarf fruit’s are available. I have peach, nectarine and several columnar apple tree’s, not to mention the dwarf lemon and lime tree’s in the same bed. I know there are some mini exotic fruit tree’s so I will go have a gander later.
A mini orchard right under my kitchen window :D
Whilst I’m waiting on the cherry tree , there’s a lovely area for a crop of spud’s next to a north facing wall.
Oh and Lucky’s garlic that I had to quickly rescue and replant have recovered and growing well :)
good morning
9mm of rain overnight – mostly in a single heavy shower.
The rain was needed for the barley crop (green manure) that I just planted.
I’m picking pak choy, mini lettuce and english spinach from the winter garden and brocolli heads just forming now. In fact every seed and seedling i planted has been successful this autumn – which is a long way from the miserable success rates of a drought year.
those mini fruit trees are a new idea for me HP. it will be terrific picking your own cherries. you’re being really persistent after that late night drama – good onya.
Morning Pepe and HP—going to rain here again very soon—

I hope you get great stuff from the seedlings Pepe. Sound’s all good :)
I need a plum tree I think, and apricot. There’s also nut tree’s now in dwarf form! These size tree’s are ideal for me , same size fruit and quantities, but not the drama’s of having to climb ladder’s to prune as I age and —being accident prone,, not good to climb anything lol.

Yes my lisbon lemon has fruit out of my reach already, it’s a case of shake the tree and hope they don’t knock me out when they fall lol…
I love what is being done now with many of the fruit tree’s and nut’s in dwarf form, good for small garden’s and easy to treat if there’s a problem ect. And for older people. It’s a ‘have your cake and eat it too’ thing :D

my lisbon has heavily weighted branches that bend towards the ground with the weight of the fruit. i recall pete saying that you can tie or weigh down branches to get improved cropping.
My lemon is over eight foot high so – we are both going to have to prune the leading branches out of the centre of our lemon trees next spring i reckon.
Did you mention what sort of nut trees? i’m thinking – almond? walnut? pecan ?

Morning All,
Wow, what a night ! The wind and rain were so loud I got very little sleep. made the doors and windows rattle! There was 20 mm in the guage but I hadn’t emptied it from the last rain, so we probably got about 11mm.
I’m waiting to see if Mr O40 will be discharged today.

Hey O40 , I get them from my local Grevillea Nursery , I can’t seem to find any mini nut tree’s on the ‘net. So I will call in and ask them later , going to the city in a little while and I have to pass that way.
We didn’t get a storm but a good amount of rain , I’d left container’s in place and they are half full :)
I hope Mr O4o is well , any clue’s as to what happened ?

With all this talk about nut trees, you’ll need to take into account whether you need cross-pollinators and if you do, whether they are available in the same size. Almonds usually need a cross-pollinator, HP, and even if the trees say they are self-fertile, as a rule of thumb they will usually be far more productive with a cross-pollinator.
Just back from stage 1 of my root canal. Not bad at all really, no need for a local because the nerve was dead, but my jaws sore from holding it open for so long.
But boy did it stink when he opened it up.
Next appointment is Monday week and if all goes well that’s the end.
Off for a bit of lunch and a lie down.
BBL.

In urban areas cross pollination is not that much of a problem as some one hwill have a similar tree within a 1 km range.
Once out in rural areas then pollinators become more of a requirement.
As an example in our town our trees are crosspollinated by trees in the general vicinity and always bear well but out at the block we will need to ensure we have cross pollinators
and as its friday………
A very loud, unattractive, hard-faced woman
enters Kmart with her two scrubby looking
sons. She is dressed like a slob and continuously
screams obscenities at them as they are
misbehaving.
The door greeter says, “Good morning and
welcome to Kmart. Nice children you have there,
are they twins?”
The ugly woman stopped screaming long enough
to snarl, “Of course they’re not twins you idiot.
One is ten and the other is seven. Why the hell
would you think they could be twins – they don’t
even look alike. Do you really think they are twins?”
“Absolutely not”, replied the greeter, “But I just
couldn’t believe anyone would want to make love
to you twice”.
>to you twice”.
LOL.. I think we have all seen loud women that line would be perfect for!!

i don’t understand this cross-pollination.
whats doing the cross-pollination – bees or wind? is it another tree of the same type flowering at a different time or a different variety of the species that always flowers at a different time?

I understand it to be two varieties of the same type that flower at the same time. Mind you, I’m only guessing! The pollen is exchanged with bees or by the wind.

i bet its more complicated.
my seven carobs include three female trees with flowers on them – but as yet no beans. so some trees are providing the male parts and others the female part. a clear explanation would be useful.

Most fruit trees belong to the group that requires cross-pollination. These trees not only need pollen from another tree, but the tree must be of a different cultivar. Pollen from its own flowers or those of another tree of the same cultivar will not be able to successfully pollinate the female parts of the flowers, due to incompatible timing. You’ll need to do a little homework to find the right mix of cultivars. Extension bulletins and gardening books are good places to find suggested combinations.

It’s a bit sore now but he did warn me it might be touchy for a while. That’s why they only put a temp dressing on first, to give it time to settle down and to make sure they got everything out.

Heard I was missed…..
Quick visit….
Been chasing the sales here…. first time ever and we had a ball. Never usually do sales…even post Chrissy sales.
Got ourselves a king size feather down quilt for the bed. Walked to the train station yesterday and got home at about 5 pm last night from the city. Replaced the 2 blankets that the Elf brought with him we we met. So last night we didn’t sleep cold….. and we didn’t need to tug for bedding:D
Mind you……..Cats then kept jumping and sliding on the quilt last night…new sound and feeling for them to be amused by.
Today was food shopping…car is now reg as well:D
Slower day tomorrow, so back to normal.
Not sure what the elf had for tea last night…I had cold egg & bacon pie (2 days old) from the fridge for my tea…… I was stuffed from all the fun yesterday.
Didn’t mean to worry you….just really tired…..going back to bed…….relaxing and being quiet…

yeah, when the net poultry netting comes it will be good, some how then i can fence of the gardens near the compost system and let them in there and put a small hen house in there. the seed company i order my seeds from he said he is going to send me some free plants with my next order. some more wormwood as his bush has little plants coming off it.
Well kitchen is clean, bathroom is clean, vacuuming has been accomplished, washing on cycle, three loads of washing to sort, pruning completed, rug hanging outside, Fresh grass collected for parrots, now just a bit of tidying up to do.

those mobile (150sq.m) chook runs will be very interesting. if you move them you’ll have a weeded patch ready for planting.
Gud-day Pepe and all other green lerkers:)
Overcast and cool and just plain FAB TAB here at the homestead.
Had to go to the Toyshop today…… not sure what got me more egg-cited the seasol and potash I bought or the fact we took the car and not a 3 hour walk;)
Elf picked up some stuff for the now “gym” room and we have agreed to get paint in a (yep you guessed it) light green colour…….
Just hope the asthma low fume paint comes in a lovely pale green colour.
I resisted a walk round the seedlings…….. Oh it wa shard though….LOL

This is what I do with a glut of lemon’s.
Half a dozen lemons, lots of sugar and water and a smidgin of food acid.
1.5kg (3 lbs) sugar
1 litre (2 pints) boiling water
1 tablespoon tartaric (or citric) acid
the juice and finely grated rind of 6 lemons
Method:
Mix all ingredients together and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow to stand until cool, then strain through a sieve and bottle.
This recipe makes a refreshing summer drink, using the syrup with chilled water, soda water or lemonade.

Happy Potter said:

I cheated, I used frozen pastry and couldn’t be bothered blind baking it either…
Baked ricotta tart
Ingredients (serves 8)
• 1 1/2 cups (225g) plain flour
• 125g butter, chilled 1
• 3 garlic cloves, unpeeled
• 500g full-fat ricotta
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup (125ml) thin cream
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan
• ¼ chilled water (freezer)
Method
1. Place the flour and butter in a food processor with a pinch of salt, and process until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add 1/4 cup iced water and process until the mixture just comes together to form a smooth ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Lightly grease a 26cm, loose-bottomed tart pan.
3. Wrap the garlic in foil, place on a small tray in the oven and roast for 15 minutes, or until soft. Remove and allow to cool.
4. Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured board. Line the tart pan with the pastry and refrigerate for a further 15 minutes. Line the tart shell with baking paper and pastry weights or uncooked rice and blind bake for 10 minutes. Remove the paper and weights and cook for a further 5 minutes or until the pastry is lightly golden.
5. Squeeze the garlic out of its skin, place in a food processor with the ricotta, eggs, cream and parmesan, then blend until smooth. Pour into the tart shell and bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden and the filling is just set. Serve warm.
Baked ricotta tart
Thanks BG, I will try that :D
what is the purpose of blind baking?

Arvo all, the long job on the garden bed out the front is done its edge with timber, me and dad still think it looks crap.
i am also up to the top now as well :)
This is `my Mums sweet pastry recipe. I’ve no idea where it came from, it has always been handwritten in her old recipe book. It’s a lovely pastry but it has one big problem, it’s so brittle that I can never get a piece of pie out without breaking it.
4 oz shortening
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 cup plain flour
1 cup SR flour
Enough milk to bring it all together.
mix in the usual pasty method.

if you have blind baked it, yes it will hold it down , it will be fine . I have a big container of blind baking bag’s made with baking paper and rice, tied with string, for the pie’s and tart’s , big one’s and little, that I make.
doesn’t the filling hold it down?
————————
Opps forgot to add, the pasty will puff up so high that you have to break it to get it flat again and that wreck’s the whole thing, the filling wont hold it down.We’re having Yesterday’s Shepherd’s pie and cauliflower cheese and peas :)

I haven’t made pastry for such a long time, and it was probably Mum’s recipe, but I often couldn’t bother with the baking blind and I don’t remember any disasters. Did you prick the base?
yeah its the big bed the timber isnt straight it has bent and all that.

so what are you going to do?
does the look of it matter ? – my edges look scrappy but they hold the soil.

No I don’t prick the base. I have had lot’s of disaster’s with pastry, but only when I mix my own and following every step right too. I tried not blind baking but it puff’s up so high you can’t get the filling into the case.. tried not cooking the case and got soggy uncooked pastry. Freezer section flat pastry work’s fine for me :)

ahhh, we have talking at cross purposes. When I said I didn’t blind bake it, I meant I didn’t pre-cook the pastry. If I pre-cooked it without filling, then I would expect to “blind bake” it by putting rice or beans or something in it to keep it down. But I just put the filling in the uncooked pastry. This meant that the pastry was not crisp on the bottom, but that didn’t bother me. But then it was only frozen stuff.

Good Morning all! Sorry haven’t caught up on posts for a couple of days. Nice and sunny here but a sneaky little breeze finds me moving my portable potting possie around a bit – and spreading the mess along with me… lol as the wind direction and sun moves
Morning Longy and pepe – and anyone else around this Sunday morning who hasn’t spoken up yet :)
I will start a new thread later on waterfowl and gardening – 7 of my ducks and I spent last weekend at Caboolture – attended and helped out at the Waterfowl section of Caboolture Annual Show, staying with ny sister and also set up her vegie garden on Sunday.This is a link to some pics i took on Sat :

i don’t have to guess – composting – you said it sometime.
i’m very pleased with my compost as well. everyone has got to do it their own way. my ‘hot’ compost is built as the material becomes available rather than all in one day.

yeah, thats going to be a problem for me, as i most probly will try and fill it all at once, i may not have the material there and then. i have a plan ill clean out the chook pen, weed the garden trim what trees needs triming and clean up a bit of tthe stable, pick up some horse poo and then its done. and some weeds off the dam.

that will do it. although now is the time because summer is so busy. i’ll stockpile some cheap (old) peastraw bales and have a pile of manure sitting close by. so far one heap is ready and a second is on the way here.

Arvo all,
I’ve had fun in the garden today. I weeded all the vegies and the hedge bed, cut back all the herbs that had gone rampant, gave the citrus trees a mulch of horse manure and raked up lots of willow twigs. The soil is very damp and easy to work with and the day is cool and still. I’m in for a cuppa and a rest, enough done today. :)

welldone i havent dont much today as it has been raining most of the day.
I’ve cut down some prunings from when I attacked the privet yesterday, and filled the green waste bin. That’s about all the gardening I’ve done. One of my hyacinths in my barrow is emerging, with flower already open! Must be in a hurry! lol!

the soil is so much nicer here after rain, and digging the sweet potatoes showed me the worms are returning. those sweet potatoes bury themselves quite deeply – which might explain why they survive the dry conditions here.

I’ve never grown sweet potatoes. I’m going to grow my spuds in 60lt garbage bins with holes drilled in the bottom. I haven’t got space for them anywhere in the ground and it looks like a good plan. I may have already said this on another occasion
If so, please excuse – a senior’s moment!

How are you this morning, Grassy? Well I hope! :)
Not to bad thanks Cackles and you—still getting rain here—have had almost 1000mm this year
oh – no rain here for a while. I was away last weekend and came home to wilted plants – but it is our dry season
Lovely weather really – if you can avoid a sneaky little breeze sometimes. I like to be outside when it gets cool – yesterday actually dug out a beanie for after sundown. Otherwise during the day live in shorts and short sleeves still – and barefoot though feet are starting to get chilly now!
Monday. Hmmph!
We have had nice weather as far as temps go—till this weekend and today—but it got a bit cold—about 17—will get a bit warmed later in the week—but had heaps of rain
G’day Hopper, nice weather here too. I’ve got an early appointment today, so no play till i return.
I spent yesterday digging a shallow trench for about 30m down my culvert. Gonna concrete a narrow drain so it doesn’t get so soppin wet. So up to my knees in slop yesterday. Yay. Might do some ag drainage while i’m in the mood.

No Longy last year the weather was very bad when I was there —but I guess I will one day
I guess I will one day
+++++++++++++++
I was there a little while ago, gees it’s a nice spot. I actually went swimming with my keys in my pocket, lost them and found them at low tide. Bewdy.
We recently scored a tiny little caravan real cheap so we’re gonna try it out this week at Brooms Head. If all goes well i might head out to Sandon for a few day fishing soon:-)
Yes nice spot at Brooms gets quite windy though—good on you with the van they are fun
Just looking at Weatherzone. What’s the fifference between the mean temp and the median temp. Mean is average right? What’s median?
Yeah windy at the moment. Hopefully it’ll stay southerly and we’ll be protected. No matter anyway. Just wanna see what’s what.
Every time I have been at Brooms it has been very windy there—nice spot though

Likewise I’m looking at ABC’s weather site and in ‘ latest capital city observation’s’ , for Vic, there’s the temperature then there’s ‘ APP’ temp , apparent temp? Not sure what that mean’s.
Morn all :)
apparent temp? Not sure what that mean’s.
—
I think you will find that it is what it feels like—ie may be say 10 but feels like 8—because of wind chill etc
Not sure of medi temp thoug Longy

Oh ok, yes it has to do with thermal stress and comfort level. It’s 3.4 C atm but the Apparent temp is -0.01
Grasshopper said:

Not always like that but the arvo sea breeze is pretty reliable in Summer. Winter it’s very variable.
APP’ temp
+++++++++
Maybe approximate temp.
Median is the midpoint, Whatever that means.
Oh ok, yes it has to do with thermal stress and comfort level. It’s 3.4 C atm but the Apparent temp is -0.01

OK. Heard of that.
If i disappear, my keyboard is stuffing up. I think it’s the jack in the back of the puter. Great.
Coffee is on its way HP.
Actually i might go splash some powerfeed around before my appointment at 09:00 am.

morning grassy and others.
i went out the laundry door last night to find a white dove all curled up on the verandah. it seemed alright but wasn’t moving so i put it in a box and phoned the daughter who said i should let it wake up in the pigeon loft. so now its sitting in the loft, still, but with activity all around it.
i not sure what happens next. these events always have the feel of ‘an omen’ about them.
Morning All,
I’ve had a silly start to the day. I thought I had an appt at 11 this morning, and Mr O40 made one to see his GP this arvo. Turns out I read my calendar wrong and my appt was this arvo. As we can’t be in 2 places at once I’ve cancelled mine which wasn’t urgent anyway. I’m very worried about Mr O40, his speech still goes haywire from time to time, and one eye doesn’t open properly, and he’s having trouble moving food around in his mouth. He can’t “puff” his cheeks out now, which he could do last week when they asked him to in hospital,and can’t purse his lips. All typical Stroke symptoms, but it’s not that. I repeat – I’m very worried.

Just looking at Weatherzone. What’s the fifference between the mean temp and the median temp. Mean is average right? What’s median?
mean is not average. average is all the temps added together and divided by number of days. If you have one extreme temp then the average will be skewed that way. mean (I think) is the most common temp, which means that an extreme event won’t effect it. can’t remember what median means but is something different again…

Likewise I’m looking at ABC’s weather site and in ‘ latest capital city observation’s’ , for Vic, there’s the temperature then there’s ‘ APP’ temp , apparent temp? Not sure what that mean’s.
Morn all :)
apparent will take into account wind chill factor etc. So the temp may be 15 deg, but with a wind chill of 3 deg the apparent temp will be 12 deg.
Longy said:
APP’ temp
+++++++++
Maybe approximate temp.
Median is the midpoint, Whatever that means.
OK, that would be halfway between the lowest and highest recorded temps for the period.

Mean, median and mode are all averages.

maybe you should get another opinion. maybe they stuffed up one of the tests or there is somthing small but significant that was missed.

Mean, median and mode are all averages.
- The mean is what we typically call the average (add all, divide by number).
- The median is the middle value if the values are written out in sorted order (or the mean of the middle 2 values if there are an even number of values).
- The mode is the most common value.
I stand corrected :D
But I was on the right track, sort of….

Yes BG, that’s 2 possibilities. I’m hoping that his GP will send him somewhere else, quickly!

Hi all Orchid I am thinking of you—hope all goes ok —what a worry for you—
Hi Blue
Thanks Grassy :)
Has he got headaches or any other problem—like walking and other motor skills effected ?

No, no headaches and AFAIK no other motor skills affected.
Did it happen sudden Orchid?

I’m well thanks grassy, more or less. Still a bit run down from when I had that cold I think. Blue skies here.
Not really Grassy. It started last Sat and he spent Sun-Thurs in hospital undergoing tests which revealed nothing. His speech was improving and he had no other problems and they let him come home on Friday. The other symptoms have appeared over the w’end.

I hope Mr. OC is able to get some answers – good luck with the results.
My rescued dove died – it probably had flown into the glass door. Meanwhile pepe the poodle nudged open the sliding doors after taking lunch on the terrace – and a sparrow flew inside. So for an hour i had a frightened bird flying all around the house. Its outside now.
what will happen next on mixed up monday?
Howdy green ones:)
In and out like a blue arse fly here…Just about to make cream of chicken soup for tomorrow’s lunch and a curry & steak & kidney stew thingy for tonight’s tea.
Off to Burra tomorrow, sister is in there for the week and we want to see her not so new house. Had it for 12 months now. Hence the soup is to go with what she makes for lunch.
Stunning day here today:D
Arvo all.
back now.
pepe said:

Thanks Pepe, yes we got a possible solution to the mystery. Mr O40 is seeing a neurologist tomorrow. It’s all to do with the auto-immune system. We need to wait for the blood test result still, but it looks very much as though we have a name for it. It’s treatable.

chewing cloves does help a bit.
i had a weekend tooth ache in Darwin once – you have my sympathy although strong painkillers are more useful than cloves or sympathy -get better.
I doubt cloves would work in this case, the trouble is inside and under the tooth. The new pain killers are helping.
I guess that means that the root canal hasn’t gone as well as they hoped…
Things have gone down hill fast. I ended up going to the emergency room at about midnight for stronger pain killers and antibiotics. Back to the dentist today and he took the plug out and drained it again. It’s infected. It felt much better straight away but I can feel it building up again so it seems I’ll be going back tomorrow as well. I’ve got a big lump in my jaw. :( :( :(

27th june that afternoon to the 21th july (day i go back) snow is the 17 18 19 20 ( i think and this is with school.
evening all :)
What a day ! mid meeting (re giant son’s case plan) I was day dreaming about the day being too nice to waste and I should be out in the garden.
Got home late and made some steak sanger’s for tea .
Then out to feed the chook’s and I noticed my single Orchid has flower spikes, the first time in 2 year’s :)
Oh and I got a packet of herb seed’s in the mail from Yates, basil ,coriander, parsley and sage :D I will pot them up soon. But probably not the parsley, one can only use so much and I have heap’s of it , I used parsley leaves in the steak sanger’s like lettuce. Yum! I will do that more often!
Also got 2 mud cake order’s marked “urgent, for tonight”. It’s for the staff at the local nursing home where eldest girl works..the urgency request is in jest, the cheeky blighter’s lol.

She’s getting a prepaid phone
+++++++++++++++++++++++
When she is leaving OZ, she can also buy a phonecard from the money changer people in the airport. Thomas Cooke or whatever. It allows you to make a call home from a hotel room or a private phone at Oz homephone prices. Good for transit calls and emergency calls. If you use a phone in a hotel it’ll cost a million. Don’t do it.
Also, suggest she takes a scan of her passport and emails it to you. If she loses her passport, she can get on the net and pull up a digital copy. Makes a replacement in another country much simpler.

good advice longy
- also get her to photocopy the photo page of her passport and keep it separate. if she ever looses the passport she can whip out the photocopy and prove that she still exists.

Same here, but I wasn’t too keen on a lot of the Germans and I have a big swig of German blood in me.
I think the trick with the French is to make a bit of an effort with the language and not be too ocker.

Just different. The pancreatitus went on longer but I had lots of morphine. The tooth wasn’t responding to any of the pain killers I had and the chemists were all shut. i had to resort to a private hospital and they charged me $250 to see a doc . :(

So how does the feral tooth pain compare with the feral pancreatitis pain? Tooth is a piece of cake by comparison, huh?
Just different. The pancreatitus went on longer but I had lots of morphine. The tooth wasn’t responding to any of the pain killers I had and the chemists were all shut. i had to resort to a private hospital and they charged me $250 to see a doc . :(
Geez, crikey, bluddy nora, et al.!!
and you don’t get much of that back from Medicare…
I’m back! Got home on Sunday arvo but haven’t had a chance to log on.
The garden looks good and the vegies are doing their thing. Flowers on the tomato bushes and baby green strawberries peeping out from under the leaves.
My magnolia is in full bud with a couple of blooms open atm. The Thunbergia mysorensis has lots of flowers ready to burst open too. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen one of them in flower. All the new Mandevillas look well and are still flowering.
There is a problem with my passionfruit though. Will get round to discussing it with you all sometime later on.
Art class tomorrow but I’ll check in before I go.
Night, till then.

No, that’s not it.
You beat an egg and soak the crumpet in it. Then lightly fry the crumpet. Nice if you put a bit of bacon in first, to oil the pan and also i like to add some fresh chopped herbs like chives, parsley and a bit of chilli to the beaten egg. It’s fully sick.

It’s french toast, but with a crumpet instead of bread.

Well it’s ridiculous. Tell it to stop.

No haven’t had those LOngy—like fried bread in bacon fat though—haven’t had that for ages either—never eat Breaky till about 11am

You gotta try the crumpet thing Hopper. You’ll never eat it with bread again. Salt n pepper required. Herbs and chilli optional.
I have my coffee and eat later—eat whn I am hungry—most of the time —no matter what time it is—
So just dip in egg LOngy and fry—?

It’s so delish. The crumpet stays moist so don’t overcook. I like to cover the pan with a plate to help steam the egg. It also heats the plate. Hate cold plates….

No. Cook it up in a frypan VG. A winter holiday doesn’t get hot enough.

Some of my fav’s are stuff you could never repeat. Because there is no plan. Just ‘open the fridge and see what falls out’ kinda cooking. When the younguns were little Mrs worked nights sometimes. So we’d get inventive and have some fun. They are both pretty good cooks now. Better than me for sure.
Hopper i looked at some peddle type Kayaks yesdy. Gees they’re rippers aren’t they! Hobies. Great stuff.
Cooking is not my favorite thing but folks seem to enjoy what I cook—
Yes they are great Longy—they have new ones out now too—they also have a glass bottom one—not Hobbie though
Dunno about a glass bottom one. The Hobies i looked at are new. There’s a great shop in Maclean sells them. Pretty new. He has demo models so i might take one for a run soon. Maybe. I like the idea of a 2 seater. I can fish, Mrs can peddle. Perfect.
2 seaters are not the best to get—better to get 2
2 seaters are not the best to get—better to get 2

Hmm. Yes, but then i’d need a tow rope so Mrs could pull me around……
2 seater are harder to handle if you want to go out on your own—
good morning , morning people :) My car was so frosted up I drove the princess to the train station with the car window’s down. She didn’t like that lol.
Longy I have a recipe for home made crumpet’s if you want..it’s easy. I don’t know if bought one’s have any additive’s in, I have been making these for years.
I’m about to start the 2 mud cake order’s. Tin’s lined last night :)

How weird. Home made crumpets. Who’d have thought it.
Unfortunately i won’t be making any i don’t reckon HP. I’m not that keen in the kitchen. More necessity than desire.
Yes better to get one each—
Morning HP how did things go for you yesterday
Crikey, Sun’s up and i’m sitting here. Best get out and kickstart the dog and verbal the ladies. Going to the Beach today for a few days. Have a bonza day ladies.
and just in case this doesn’t happen to other’s…when paying bill’s by netbank, any, make sure the biller code isn’t changed…or you might be paying someone else’s bill’s…
What a monumental stuff up I’ve had to fix , just because I grabbed the bill and paid it over month’s and 3 invoice’s, not noticing that they had changed their biller code.

Not good Grassy, it was about yet another door closing in our face’s. But we are used to it. We will cope :)
So sorry to hear that HP—you must get very sick of it—maybe these places need to go through stuff themselves to understand—-have you thought of going to higher places

Longy, whatever food can be bought, can be made in the home . We consider bought crumpet’s as fast food. Whatever fast food you can buy, one can make it at home better anyway, with no chemical additive’s and much less fat. Fast food is so called as it’s fast to eat, not nessesarily fast to make.

Already done that Grassy , even the media don’t want to know. The raging kid story is a bit tired. But it’s ok. I might let the kid loose on parliament step’s one day lol.

Hi PM
Hi Grassy, how goes it down your way?
Darn wet—PM
morning.
david attenborough was good last night. i look into the mirror and see someone ten years younger than me too. must be the advantage of failing eyesight LOL.
Same here, but I wasn’t too keen on a lot of the Germans and I have a big swig of German blood in me. I think the trick with the French is to make a bit of an effort with the language and not be too ocker. Our fav was Greece, lovely people.
——————————————————————-
the greeks are good because half of them have had a stint in australia. the other half have got rellies living here. i think all europeans should be forced to ‘chill out’ down south – would improve their demeanor.
Not feeling much ATM, aint pain killers great, I think I’m on my way to being a junkie. Last night I took (with the Doc’s advice) 2 panadiene, 4 nurofen and 10mg diazapam.

tooth ache is a bummer – its in your head and theres nowhere to hide.
don’t worry be happy – they WILL fix it.

arvo.. I have been busy , got some more seedling’s of brocoli and spinach , planted them out and also got 4 kg of sebago and nicola spud’s.. about 12…. planted them where a dwarf cherry tree will go later on. This spot is where my worm farm’s used to be and there has never been anything planted there before, the spud’s should do well.
Got a punnet of chive’s too and I’ll pop them into a pot , but I was wondering are they frost tender ? I can put them into my little hot house if needed. And finally a bay tree..which I will keep in a pot and keep it small.
I’ve made the 2 mud cake order’s and waiting for them to cool so I can ice them soon. Pork schnitzel parma for tea.
But right now it’s cuppa time !
hi HP. Busy girl again I see.
I find that my chives die down in winter and come up again in spring, so if you want to keep them going then I would put them in the hot house.
Hi BG, HP, PM, Peps, and anyone else out there.
We’ve been to the neurologist.
The good news is that Mr O40 has got what the Drs thought he has got, and that it’s very treatable. Years ago it was very bad news but there are medications now that reverse the symptoms and bring the patient back to normal. There’s an outside chance that he may have to have an operation but we don’t know yet.
The bad news is that he’s back in hospital! He needs to have his breathing monitored because it can be affected by this disease and if this happens he needs urgent attention. That’s the bit that was worrying me most.He also has to have the medication type and dosage sorted out there.
I decided not to accompany him this time, it just complicates everything and I have to stay with friends who already have people staying with them. He’s likely to be in about 5 days.
So I’m happy he’s being cared for and that the prognosis is not bad at all :)

4kg of seed spuds should be about 30 spuds? either that or they weigh 330gms each?
big seed !
my sweet potatoes weighed in at about 400gm each.
good luck with them – they are definitely frost tender.

Yes Pepe they were big spud’s. There’s a blackboard sign out front of the nursery that say’s ‘ plant potato’s now’.
I’m just obeying. I haven’t mulched them and won’t until I see sprout’s.

Oooh lotsa spuds HP!
I have instructions to let them sprout indoors first. You can also cut them up into halves or quarters depending on size, as long as they have an “eye” or sprout, to make more plants. It doesn’t matter which way you do it I guess.
I intend to par fry a bunch of them and cut into wedge’s , season then freeze them. Same with a heap of roast spud’s. I didn’t know you can halve them, I’ll do that next time, thank’s :)

Gee I’ve been suffering today. I’ve had constipation. Feels like a lump the size of a rockmelon is slowly moving down. Tried massaging my stomach to break it up.. Managed to get out of bed by mid afternoon, bought some laxettes (3 oughta do it eh?) and 2 litres of apple+mango juice to give it a hurry up.
Work tomorrow, so I hope I’m ok tomorrow.
Now, the climb to the top.

I can’t swear to it but I think I have read where adding some potato to the sauce can help absorb the burnt flavour.

found a site that said add sugar – seems to have worked. At least Mr BG says it tastes alright. I can’t tell anymore because I have the residual smoke flavour still on my tongue from my first tasting. Yuck!

anyone got any ideas on getting rid of the smokey flavour from a big pot of bolognaise sauce with a burnt bottom? Or have I ruined the lot?
I can’t swear to it but I think I have read where adding some potato to the sauce can help absorb the burnt flavour.
found a site that said add sugar – seems to have worked. At least Mr BG says it tastes alright. I can’t tell anymore because I have the residual smoke flavour still on my tongue from my first tasting. Yuck!
Been there and done that. At least it’s edible BG.

Gee I’ve been suffering today. I’ve had constipation. Feels like a lump the size of a rockmelon is slowly moving down. Tried massaging my stomach to break it up.. Managed to get out of bed by mid afternoon, bought some laxettes (3 oughta do it eh?) and 2 litres of apple+mango juice to give it a hurry up.Work tomorrow, so I hope I’m ok tomorrow.
Now, the climb to the top.
Too much information.

Doesn’t matter what he decides, he can’t afford it!! He’s got a Royal Enfield in a million parts in the shed, apparently he’s gonna get that on the road. Excuse my cynicism, but it’s two and a half years since he told me that – I’ll just wait for the evidence to appear before my eyes. Oh, and he’s gonna knock up a sidecar too. Littlemiss loves that idea.

The phrase is “time padenostras”
colliewa said:
The phrase is “time padenostras”
Could it be “tying paternosters”? Nothing much in what they’re saying has any meaning to me, I’m afraid.
Sounds something like “chatter boys are tying paternosters at Cullen Bay”….. ????
Paternoster:
1. often Paternoster The Lord’s Prayer.
2. One of the large beads on a rosary on which the Lord’s Prayer is said.
3. A sequence of words spoken as a prayer or a magic formula.
4. A weighted fishing line having several jointed attachments for hooks connected by beadlike swivels.
5. An elevator constructed of a series of doorless compartments hung on chains that move slowly and continuously, allowing passengers to step on and off at will.
Would the fourth one make sense, given that I hope you have more idea about what they’re saying than I do??
AHHHH…
Sounds like you’ve cracked it!
Ta!
colliewa said:

It’s a thing about fishing in the NT. I listen to it because I enjoy the Aussie sense of humor and understatement..

Fancy sitting here at this hour! For heavens sake, get a life Pomolo. Just woke early and can’t go back to sleep.
Anyway do you know how beautiful the full moon looks at 4am. It was just out of my reach otherwise I would have had it on my back verandah forever.
In actual fact I have to make biscuits for the local “Friends of” and have them ready by 10am so an early start will be a help after all.
Be nice to one another. I shall return.

Not bad—be glad when this rain is gone fro a little while
yep, its really muddy over here wish the rain would go away for a while, go to where it is needed.
Not muddy here as I have sandy sol—which also can be a bugga too
yeah, it wouldn’t help having sandy soils.

morning too girls and anyone awake. I shot out of bed at 5.30 am and already showered and now ready for the day , I feel like there’s something major going to happen and I am ready for it, how neurotic lol.
The only thing happening is a psychologist’s appointment at 10.30 am..Mr. and I both have to attend but Mr. is on night shift atm , so he will be snoozing on the way and back, me driving. Too bloody tiring.
Off to wait for whatever going to happen. BBL
Hope all turns out ok for you HP—and good morning to you
back now hello HP, may have to do a little detour and in into the shed and get some chook feed and walk to the chook pen then ill have to walk up to the bus stop, so i may leave 10mins earlier.
Good morning! :)
Just a quick visit while kettle is boiling – beautiful weather here. I trimmed one of my Ivory Curl (Buckinghamia) trees and a Flame yesterday – now have to strip foliage and generally clear my driveway…
good morning folks.
breakfast appointment with Mr BG was cancelled :(
someone’s rang in sick so he had to start early. Oh well, Weet Bix again I suppose…
morning lucky. yeah birdnetting sounds like a good idea next time – if i have to replant.
funny that my winter garden had no netting and i lost nothing.
——————————————————-
Hi Pepe:)
I picked up 4 × 4 metres for a couple of $$$$ ready cut from the toyshop in one of those shelf bins that hang off the shelves.
Birds are shocking for feasting on tender plants here…… seeds…they’ll knock over in 48 hours here.
and now ….. back to the proper chat thread.
you were right about rabbits eating rocket too lucky. i’m minding the daughters bunny and it eats rocket by preference.
your worm juice is delicious – no cancel that – its being used to boost the winter garden, alongside seaweed and pigeon poo tea.. you gave me a lot of worm wee – how much do you drain off each month?

i ‘spose the emergence of the grass corresponded to the seeds growth and probably hid the seedlings from view in the winter garden. the barley was planted on a weed free area so was visible. more netting needed here too.

Oh glad the bunny is enjoying the rocket:D
I am not sure about the worm wee….I need to in the next day or so drain the buckets into those bottles you returned to me.
What I do is rinse the kitchen lunch box of theirs and the big white bucket it goes into out on the worm farms, when those buckets are emptied.
When the big white bucket is almost full of food, I chop it up with a shovel and feed 1 farm. So the rinse water is then poured into that farm just fed.I’ll take note from when I empty their buckets and count 30 days and let you know:)

Morning all, well, nearly arvo.
It’s an ordinary sort of day here, no rain. no wind, no sun.
——————————-
looks like i’ll have to rescind what i said about the public hospital system – did they think Mr OC had walked in off the street?
——————————
I think maybe they did. The neurologist had phoned the day registrar to tell him to expect him, but by the time MrO40 got there the night registrar was on and hadn’t had the message passed on. He’s had the worst night of his life he just told me. He’s on a ward now so things should improve from now on.
I’m going in tomorrow by bus & train, it will be a day long adventure!

hey o40. Monash is in my neck of the woods. Let me know if I can do anything.
saw the doc today and with the new pills my BP has finally dropped. She was very happy. She also gave some scaly bits of skin the liquid Nitrogen treatment so have some ouchy bits. While in the area dropped in at Flower Power and bought a Grevillea ‘Moonlight’ and some Kangaroo Paws at 25% off. Scored some Fowlers Vacola jars on freecycle, so picked them up. Went to the markets and bought a Kalanchoe in a hanging pot full of buds, and a Juniper (I think) to turn into a bonsai. A pretty full day really after I had done all the driving and walking around.
Busy day for you BG:)
Home all day today and its lovely.:D House is looking good for it too.
Tomorrow we walk to the train station and into the city…paying for the fridge tomorrow and getting it delivered on Friday:D:D:D
Oh I can’t wait to have a new fridge that has seals that work and a light inside that works when the door opens:D

OOOOOO well done, I go back on the 3rd.
Got a little bit of “don’t need this anymore” stuff in the lounge room from some of the cleaning…… just about to walk round to the “Sally” shop and give it to them……..
Might see if they have any nice glasses there…. I break so much china and drinking glasses I refuse to buy them at new cost price from the shops.
hey o40. Monash is in my neck of the woods. Let me know if I can do anything.

Hi BG,
Yes of course it’s over your way, I didn’t realise! Thanks for the offer but at this stage it’s all under control. Lovely of you to say though :) If I run into trouble I’ll get in touch.

it is hard for me to explain i use it most of them time in school. and our teacher is just being as well so some of us are a head of him a bit. so we aren’t learning anything and we have to keep using the one tool for about 2 terms. ok to make a fence there should be a compents thing (forget what menu it is under as i dont have the free one as i have pro at home and at school). and then you go to landscape and then click on a fence.

ok, ill most probly turn it every month when i clean up the chook pen. and weed and all that. or ill turn it every 2 months and top up the chook pen with my hay at the end of the frist month and collect all the stuff i need in feed bags until i need it. that may be a better plan then.

Well you could I suppose BlueGreen, but if it is “on the nose” I don’t think a chicken cavity would be a good place to reheat it…personally I prefer a slice of lime and a couple of sprigs of thyme and dill in a chicken cavity…there is definitely more experienced cooks than me out there…have never made stuffing…

The chook was out of date so I threw it out. The stuffing is freshly prepared and now I don’t have a chicken to put it in.
I went back to the dentist this morning. He unplugged the tooth and drained it again but he’s not happy with the progress, there is now gunk coming out between the tooth and the gum. You really wanted to know that didn’t you?
He’s going away till Tuesday and if it isn’t much better by then he’s going to pull it out. More antibiotics and drugs for me. I’m totally sick of the whole thing and I look like a squirrel with one cheek full of nuts.
Just call me gummy.

Poor baby! Teeth are a curse. Babies have trouble when they are getting them and we spend the rest of our life trying to keep them. They are literally a pain.
Heavy fog this morning and a mild temp. Good day coming up. Morning to anyone who’s up at this hour.
For Bluegreen….
Yes, if it’s just normal stuffing you could freeze it BG.

Ignore this post. I’m having a few problems ATM.

We have just consumed Curry Cauliflower Soup for tea. Caulies are very cheap just now. MrP’s did the prepatation and cooking. He has turned into a keen cook. I’m not complaining.

my cook is doing pizza pockets with the rest of the basil crop – and yes – we too have cheap ($1.99) caulis.
hi folks, congratulations on your assessment tasks VG. I’m particularly impressed with your woodwork. My dad was a keen wood turner in his retirement and made some nice things. I always admire people who can make clever stuff with their hands.
Glad to hear your good news too o40, I bet you’ll be glad to have Mr o40 home and back to his old self.
On a more worrying note we have just been visiting Mr BG’s dad who was admitted into hospital this afternoon with suspected pneumonia. The doc wanted to see Mr BG for instructions regarding intensive care and life support so they must think he is pretty sick. For those who don’t know Mr BG’s dad has Parkinsons and dementia and is in high level nursing care. His quality of life is not good so there will be no attempt to resuscitate if the occasion arrives. They said they will probably send him back to the nursing home once they have finished their tests and x-rays.

how old is Mr BG’s dad?
you’re going thru’ a period of aging older rellies. it’s a period we all go thru’ – a bit shocking and makes you reassess life. stay strong and best wishes to Mr BG’s dad.
Glad to hear your good news too o40, I bet you’ll be glad to have Mr o40 home and back to his old self.

I sure will, BG, thanks.

thanks Pepe. He’s 78 but seems much older because of the Parkinsons. He has not been physically or mentally capable for years.

I went back to the dentist this morning. He unplugged the tooth and drained it again but he’s not happy with the progress, there is now gunk coming out between the tooth and the gum. You really wanted to know that didn’t you?
He’s going away till Tuesday and if it isn’t much better by then he’s going to pull it out. More antibiotics and drugs for me. I’m totally sick of the whole thing and I look like a squirrel with one cheek full of nuts.
Just call me gummy.
Oh Bubba, you’re having a terrible time aren’t you? I do hope it improves soon.
(((More hugs)))
i seem to be on the mend but the fate of the tooth is still dicey.

So sorry BG. It’s terrible when you reach the time of life where you start losing parents. MrBL’s Dad had Parkinson’s too. His was early onset (49) so I never knew him any other way. He was very mentally alert right to the end.

the heat will eventually be sufficient to stop bacteria being a problem. Otherwise they wouldn’t allow them on the market and they have been around for decades.

Been so busy here today…… went into the city and paid for the fridge….. it’ll be here tomorrow:D
Had a look at some gym equipment and we scored a all in one gym set with a sale price of $300.00 off and then the sales person made a boo-boo and the side bit that we do leg presses on it…. worth $399 wasn’t included in the all in 1 gym part…..
But the gave it to us as we had been led to believe it came as a set.:D
That comes Wednesday next week. In the lounge room watching “Bones” and then off to bed and try and sleep…….

HI Cackles—hows things
Sorry Grassy – I am fine thanks. Ducks were making more noise than a rooster- at 3am! full moon probably not helping. Anyway out at 5am to top up feed and water and to try and shoosh them. Dreading narky neighbours complaining…
Was tidying up my yahoo address book and didn’t see your reply til now…
How are you?
NOt bad but for aches and pains :( but at least we have a fine day here so far
You’ve been having wet weather i thin? Yes, aches and pains seem to be better in fine conditions. Most of family has rheumatoid arthritis – we get advance warnings from our joints about changes in barometric pressure…
oops typo =“I think”, must look more carefully before submitting…
Computer is on go slow – windows update coming down I think – anyway BBL for now :)

Yes…I can leave the food outside on the lawn and it’ll be lovely and cold;)

there was a programme on water healing on tv – apparently hot water baths followed by cold water dowsing cured a roman emperor of arthritis.

geez those elves have a funny language – we call it ‘life’ here. LOL
i reckon 2 hours of circuits – monday, wednesday and friday nights is best….or….1 hour every night but upper body one night and lower body the next.
if you do use it you’ll be the first – so much gym equipment goes unused.
a friend of my age used his equipment for 2 months and looked good – sparkling eyes and real vitality in his step. now he’s stopped and is getting the same old health issues. so keeping a routine up is hard.

arvo all..the 4 new chicken’s are installed..not too many dramas.. the eldest chook Ringo decided to fluff her feather’s and rear at one of the new one’s, but a squirt from the jet hose sorted her..now they are back to doing what chook’s do, eating and pooping. The new one’s don’t know what dirt or grass is, but they will settle. They are quite big for 16 week’s.
I have been grocery shopping and now have several recipe’s lined up, lamb shank and barley broth, osso bucco , beef and red wine casserole , a lemon slice and a batch of cupcake’s .. I shall be busy. Cuppa and lunch first then I’ll get stuck into it. :D

Its a penetrating cold day here today. The house is closed up, for a change.
I’ve been busy cooking – Nigella’s Black Forest Trifle – yum, the house smells all chocolatey now :) We were supposed to go away for the weekend with a group and we all contribute with the food. I was volunteered to do the trifle LOL.
I don’t know if I’ll go there yet but at least someone can collect the trifle if I don’t.
I have 6 egg whites left, I don’t want to make a giant Pav, is it OK to freeze them ? Please ?

Well, I’m never buying celery again.. the stuff I’m growing is beautiful! With the encouragement and help from you people..I can’t tell you how rapt I am :D I couldn’t fit it in the picture with camera at arm’s length, so I took 2 pic’s lol.

Aw thanks youse for the kind remark’s re my celery. I’m chuffed :D
It’s not stringy, and it’s tender as. I have munched my way through 3 stalk’s of it :)
Just back from the shopping and it’s so depressing. Everything is going or has already gone up in price. It’s going to get worse yet, they tell me.
I suppose if it comes to the worst, we do have room for a horse which is more than people in suburbia have got.
I mean, we can ride the horse into town to buy what we can afford and leave our car in the garage to save on petrol.
I have such a vision in my mind. MrP and I on a horse. LOL.

Fantastic, HP. Bet you never thought you’d be doing this a couple of years ago! Wonderful celery :)
Now that o40 has had good news I will tell you our good health report. MrP has got no more signs of diabetes, cholesterol, anemia or kidney problems. We are back to only having to worry about heart problems which may sound bad but it’s better than having all those other issues piled on top.
The Doc says it’s happened because MrP hasn’t eaten meat of any sort for a month or so. You learn something every day don’t you?
Going to find myself something to do outside for a while. L8r.

I’ve been busy cooking – Nigella’s Black Forest Trifle – yum, the house smells all chocolatey now :) We were supposed to go away for the weekend with a group and we all contribute with the food. I was volunteered to do the trifle LOL.
I don’t know if I’ll go there yet but at least someone can collect the trifle if I don’t.
I have 6 egg whites left, I don’t want to make a giant Pav, is it OK to freeze them ? Please ?
What do you use for the pound cake? I couldn’t buy one so I cheated and just used a cake mix.

Now that o40 has had good news I will tell you our good health report. MrP has got no more signs of diabetes, cholesterol, anemia or kidney problems. We are back to only having to worry about heart problems which may sound bad but it’s better than having all those other issues piled on top.The Doc says it’s happened because MrP hasn’t eaten meat of any sort for a month or so. You learn something every day don’t you?
Going to find myself something to do outside for a while. L8r.
I’m intrigued by the no anemia. You’d think being off meat would make it worse.
We were stumped too Bubba because usually with anemia you have to eat red meat. I also know he was not the only one on a meatless diet for the same complaints. Anyway it’s worked and we are pleased about that.
hello again, can’t sleep. got an attack of the fidgets.

I’ve caught up now. Howdy BG. Can’t stay. My eyes are nearly shut. G’night.
good morning sleepy heads :)
I got dragged off to a party last night to a friend’s , whom I hadn’t seen in a while offline , had a blast I did :D :D
She was so shocked at my weight loss she thought I was ill, and declared I don’t need to lose any more. I tend to agree, so next check up whatever I weigh then will be my goal :)
And met the eldest daughter’s new ‘Mr. Possible ‘ , he definately got the thumb’s up from me , lovely fella from first glance and meeting. A real conversationalist and listener. We had a good old chin wag.
I hope that’s a goer for eldest girl, she usually a ‘dork magnet’ lol.
I’ve been out to feed the chook’s and the new one’s are a bit timid and wouldn’t come out of the coop. They will soon enough I suppose. The oldie’s are still a bit narky over the imposter’s.
These new one’s arn’t 4 month old’s at all..I reckon they are about 20-25 week’s at least, and they are as big as my other chicken’s. Their small pale comb’s are the only give away to their youth. Pic of them later , if I can get them all in one shot.

Good morning;) been up for ages and just having a quick sit down before I start again.
I think I have Bubba’s virus:(??????:)
Already taken some gear round to the local “Sally” shop and about to clean out the cupboard the turtle’s tank is on.
Using a big cane basket I won an Easter raffle in years ago (and never used) to take the gear round in….. when finished….they can have the basket as well.
Rained here last night:D only can get into the duck and chook pen with gardening shoes on….not house shoes.

Give each other a hug from the Luckyland crew:D
digging totally saturated soil is quite bad for the structure of it…i.e. when it finally dries a bit it’s a bit worse for wear. if you dig it after it’s dried enough, it’s fine. strange things.
i cleaned out some of the duck mess yesterday. stinky stuff, even after it’s been in the soil for a few days. the garden beds, which are thoroughly mixed with bentonite, don’t seem to exhibit waterlogging. they’re very moist but, at least for now, the soil still behaves like a sponge. a large amount of organic matter in there too.
hmm…..reduce lawn to make one more little garden bed today?
getting to bored sitting in front of computer. will turn the compost bins at least. bought an extra gedeye bin not long ago, and it’s already full.

————————————————
probably its vitamin B12 thats lacking – vegos must have cheese, brewers yeast etc to prevent pernicious anemia (sp?) – apparently the body doesn’t produce its own B12.
Well I have things to do.
Cheers,
Enjoy your days!

hi peoples,
went out and picked up some parts of my bike that had been sent out to be cleaned. They look as good as new now :D
Shouldn’t be long before it is all put together now.
While out we dropped in on a bamboo nursery and splurged on a Buddha Belly Bamboo. I want to have a go at creating a bonsai with it.

We are getting a mandy tree this winter.
A fine clear day here. The dreaded s.westerly is chilly but we’ve had worse.
I smell like an angel (I think) One of the pharmacys is having a huge perfume sale and I have been in and bought birthday presents and chrissy presents.
In actual fact I don’t want to smell anymore scent/after shave for quite some time. It all gets to be a bit sickly after a while.
Off to make the biscuits again then doing some painting this arvo. L8r.

the really big flocks of sulphur crested cockies fly overhead here in summer. they are in hundreds and occasionally they rest in the neighbour’s big gum tree. they all land on the gums lining the river in town and cause a hell of a ruckus. eventually the cops come out and fire shotguns in the trees to scare them. it all happens down by the bowls club where i play of a tuesday night.

My little lemon (Eureka on dwarfing rootstock) shouldn’t really have been allowed to fruit yet but I couldn’t resist leaving a few. They’re big and luscious looking and not a fruit fly to be seen.

I was up at 3.30. P#%*&! off, I was. Couldn’t go back to sleep. Saw the movie “Dial M for Murder” on the teev. There was a choice of that or rage. So I opted for the sane show. lol.
We are jumping into the car and going this morning. We don’t know where we will go but it’s so nice not to have places we have to be for assorted appointments, for a change. I’m pretty sure this outing will include one or two nursery visits along the way. Lunch somewhere in the sun then home and back to real life. Can’t escape it for too long.

Morn ladies and lurker’s, crap night here to but only because my grandson’s little dog Daisey is on heat ( home at their place ) and grandson stayed the night here with us, and having Daisey’s scent on him, Max was going bonker’s. Max didn’t want to sleep in my room as usual on the end of the bed, but drove me nut’s wanting to go to the boy’s room and sleep there. So I let him, only to hear him howling and annoying all of us. Furkid’s !

Bugger. Well if i stick these bludgers in the virus vault, why do they come back out? I can’t reply to hotmails. Hissin me off.
I’m photocopying any warranty dockets that come on that heat paper from the shops…… that way if I have problems say 11 months down the track…. I have a readable copy to wave under their noses.
I got some work to do in the chook run today…spread sand in the gate area, and refresh straw. It’s been raining small amount’s, not enough to really water anything, but just make a muddy mess. And got some more nicola sseed spud’s, this lot are small, I will keep them for august planting’s.
I have to be brave today…..
Off to the local pet shop after Mass, cats need worming. So much be brave and strong and not bring home any like ones;)

Well Longy, get rid of them first before you use any application’s. They might have arrived via hotmal and you are just re opening them.
I’m harvesting some spuds ATM. Including Nicolas. I had no probs so will use the small ones as seed spuds.
So much be brave and strong and not bring home any like ones;)

Be strong girl…those cute little kitten’s grow up too fast !

Thatr’s colder than it got for all of last winter I think… So this could be a cold winter… Year before last we had -6..
Be back when the sun is up..
colliewa said:

Yep. Found that. It’s in Folder options but i tell it to allow me to view them, it resets itself. Must be overwritten on installation.
No probs. I have AVG scanning the hard drive now. Found one backdoor trojan so far.

Here, about every forth winter is colder than usual. And that was last year. So far that’s proving to be correct and this start of winter is much milder than last June’s. Not that I’m worried, just curious.

Woohoo! our lapband support group is going to be on A Current Affair !
They are comming to our meet up next sunday to interview a bunch of us on our experience’s with our weight loss journey’s :D
A lot of the ‘bandit’s’, as we call ourselves, wrote and emailed in complaining about the negativity that’s been in the new’s about this procedure, calling it cheating and ‘easy way out’ and such. What utter crap. One still diet’s and dieting is torture , the band just make’s it easier to lose because you arn’t hungry and importantly ,stay at a healthier weight. It save’s live’s, it save’s the gov’t billion’s in obesity associated health cost’s.
We want to put out there how it really is, the joy’s and the positive’s. People gaining their life back. The new friend’s we have all made and the support group’s ect.
We all have to get our best before and after pic’s ready ASAP!! :D
PS. My eldest girl is overweight and her band Op isn’t far off either, she is more than double her ideal weight , what a change this is going to be for her, way more so for her than me because she has never been slim a day in her life. Despite constant dieting effort’s. Born looking like the Michellin Man! What an incredible boost to her health and self esteem this is going to be !
Myself (of course) , and fellow bandit’s, cannot wait for her to begin her ‘get healthier’ journey :D :D

Hi everyone, I’m back from my weekend away. I really enjoyed it although I hated going without Mr O40. They’re a lovely bunch of people. Mr O40’s doing well but they want to do more tests on him tomorrow. I reckon they’re just using him as a Guinea Pig! We were hoping he’d be home tomorrow – oh well, maybe Tuesday.

We did and I’m back. Fish and chips on the beach at Tin Can Bay. Was lurvely!
Found a nursery and have come home with 2 cordylines, 2 broms, a baby lilly pilly and an unknown bulb. The lady at the nursery said the plant was given to her years ago before they had the nursery and she has never known the name of it. Never flowered either apparently. It looks kind of Aspidistraish to me. I will have a search around the cyber world for a match later on.

Some people from another very posh state school (well as posh as a state school can be, it’s Ascot SS for any bisbanites) liked what they did so much they want them to come and play at their fete.
Now I just have to get him to look like he’s actually enjoying himself. Too much concentration. LOL

Get them to google for Beatalica..
They play Beatles stuff in the style of Metalica, changing the lyrics slightly to be more in tne with Metalica. Good stuff..
i did get around to making a new garden bed (today), as i want to plant onions soon and have no room. i cut and dug up the turf with a spade, and low and behold this patch of grass was growing atop builders sand. no wonder it sometimes took a beating during summer. anyway, emptied one compost bin, added some goodies and watered in. will be planting onion seed direct in soil in july sometime.
also just for the heck of it, painted back fence with lime. looks nice, and brightens the place.
with all that excercise i sure don’t feel like ironing tonight.

been turning compost and shredding paper via hand, wouldn’t mind getting a paper shredder dad said the cheap ones at big W wouldn’t be any good for what i want as i would always be using it, but some hay in the chook pen yesterday, if i put shreded paper in there it woudn’t mind. the paper i done by hand was for the compost bin also i weeded some gardens got around to 2 of them still got 6 out of the 8 to do.
Also hoping to get some seeds in sometime during these school holidays.
hello, have been lurking while getting some dinner ready.
This weekend I have turned my compost and wetted it down some more as I was still a bit too dry to really get going. I also planted some seedlings I have had in punnets for ages. Coloured chard, Italian spinach, leeks, beetroot & broccoli. Only had a few seedlings of some and only one broccoli that had survived the neglect I had given them, but figured they might as well go in the bed that I had green manured earlier. The soil in there has heaps improved from what it was. Just have to wait and see now if the seedlings will grow and produce or just run to seed!
so you had a busy weekend as well.
with regard to weeds….i like to pull them whenever i’m outside and i see some. they never get a chance to flower that way.
going to get myself ready for tomorrow…cheers.

Youngest son’s Guitar School was playing at a big local fete this afternoon. He gave a solo performance and aced it. I’m a proud MumSome people from another very posh state school (well as posh as a state school can be, it’s Ascot SS for any bisbanites) liked what they did so much they want them to come and play at their fete.
Now I just have to get him to look like he’s actually enjoying himself. Too much concentration. LOL
Big pats on the back for the boy. Well done.

I’m off to try and improvise an Asian style chicken noodle soup. BBL
I’ve got chicken stock simmering with chilli, ginger, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce, soy sauce, palm sugar and sesame oil.
Spring onions, bok choy and udon noodles are waiting to go in.
I forgot to buy bean sprouts. :(
I’ve got some. LOL.

i did get around to making a new garden bed (today), as i want to plant onions soon and have no room. i cut and dug up the turf with a spade, and low and behold this patch of grass was growing atop builders sand. no wonder it sometimes took a beating during summer. anyway, emptied one compost bin, added some goodies and watered in. will be planting onion seed direct in soil in july sometime.
also just for the heck of it, painted back fence with lime. looks nice, and brightens the place.with all that excercise i sure don’t feel like ironing tonight.
Onya Aqua. Blow the ironing!
still very quite here, people went away for the weekend, or still in the garden?

yeah wont be home the last weekend as i am going to the snow
have fun at the snow. take a spare pair of mittens/gloves. when I went to the snow on a school excursion, my mittens got wet the first day tobogganing, and then I had nothing to wear on my hands when we went to the top of Mt Kosciusko I had nothing to keep my hands warm and spent the whole time in the toilets with my hands under the hand dryer trying to keep them warm!

We saw the movie ‘mongul’ about genghis khan. blood thirsty, super hero tale – but the scenery was worth it.
Why do chillis lose a lot of their heat after they’ve been frozen?
Here’s my little rocker.

maybe the capsein breaks down with freezing. anyhow, capsein is what makes peppers hot, and it is not water soluble. hence drinking milk or such (which contain some fat) helps to wash it down.
i’ve been thinking the other day — in connection with a curry food heat conversation — what other drink might contain some oils/fats that would help put out the heat in the mouth from such meals containing chilli. i haven’t come up with anything other than milk based drinks…. how about coconut drink? or sugarcane drink? anybody got any ideas…for putting out the fire without milk?

How to stop this burning pain!
There are a few first aid tips, which you can use to put out that fire…
Yoghurt, milk, sour cream, ice cream or cheese
Avocado does a good job too. Also any product with peanuts. Sugar, banana, cucumber or dry bread.
Basically any dairy product will take away the pain. The best one so far is yoghurt. Not because it takes the heat away the easiest but because it is not runny and you can keep it into your mouth to cool down. Also ice-cream offcourse this is furthermore a good excuse to eat a whole tub of the stuff.
============
Tony’s Tip
How do you put out the fire in hot chiles? Water only spreads the fire because capsaicin isn’t soluble in water. The best remedy is to eat some starch such as bread, potatoes, and rice, or dairy products such as yogurt, sour cream and milk.

coconut and bananas are common companions with curries for that reason. so coconut milk may we do the trick.

I saw some cute sugared rose petals and violets at a deli not long ago.
I love browsing in a good deli. We bought some Israeli Couscous, it’s very different, each grain is about the size of a mung bean. Haven’t tried cooking it yet but we saw a salad they’d made with it.
It was the New Farm deli, a bit of a Bris institution. They’ve put out a great cookbook and I bought a signed copy while I was there.

You can get so many pretty deco’s for cake’s now. I need some of those rainbow food colour drop’s too, so when I go get them I’ll have a look about at what’s available that can help a hopless cake decorator :)
Thank’s Bubba Louie , you reminded me I have heap’s of mung bean’s! Big bag of them.
I was wondering can I use them for a green manure ?

Mad Man Moon said:

ah ha!
MMM so why is it just firefox 3?
Yep, and you’ll find Opera’s the same, too. It’s a new security thig that Opera’s had for ages, IE caught up with in version 7, and now FF has caught up too. Basically, it prevents a frame from loading content from a remote site — in this case, my page loading content from the ABC website — because malicious websites can use that fro their evil purposes.
You need to click on a chat etc icon from Gardening or Holiday before loading the first post from these forums, thn it will behave until you want to read a post from the ABC forums over on the left. To do that, you’ll need to click a chat icon from over therefirst, then that side will contine to work — until you want to come back to this side again.
For that reason, I run the 3-forum browser (SSSF, TT and Scribbly) in one tab, and the Gardening/Holiday one in a separate tab. Ulitimately, it’s less hassle that way.

Sadly, you just have to workaround it by clicking a chat icon from the appropriate side when changing from one side to the other.
Either that, or run http://chrw.customer.netspace.net.au/hf/stsd.html in one tab and http://chrw.customer.netspace.net.au/hf/ghd.html in another. Then they don’t interfere with each other.

OK, that’s working for me now. Thanks for explaining that MMM. I was getting frustrated!
I haven’t used the concept of home pages for some years now — ever since Opera (around version 6 I think) had the resume browsing from last time option. Now it’s the default startup option! :o)
It fires up with currently 17 tabs opening up. :o)
the security feature has been there for quite a while already. a child iframe (code) can access parent frame elements OR parent iframe (code) can access child frame elements only if the child iframe is part of a subdomain of the parent frame. which prevents embedded iframe code taking over parent frame, including stealing personal information. there’s no problem embedding several iframes from different domains….but as soon as you introduce client side code (typically javascript), it is forcefully prevented from accessing iframe(s) of different domain.
so what does all this tech garbage mean? you can have a mega page with several forums…as long as you don’t have any (javascript) code in the overall html or within any of the frames, which would try to access/modify parent/child frame elements.
veg gardener said:

if you have open the tabs with the sites that you want, then go to Tools/Options and under the field where it says Home Page click the button that says “Use Current Pages” and then it will open up those sites whenever you open Firefox.

thanks BG, for that, ill be adding the GE forums on to my Home page list as well.
perhaps the “mega” page needs some re-factoring so buttons don’t try to access elements outside their own frame. typically javascript and html code written for assumed entire browser document view (not within iframe) may need adjustment.

None in the HyperForum code, but there’s probably some in the content loaded from the ABC site and from the cb88 site as part of the post list code.

safari browser tabs have come into their own…now you can drag urls onto tab bar to make new tab, drag tabs off to make separate window, or even drag the tabs around in the tab bar to re-arrange them. there’s also a new menu option to make all windows into tabs and visa-versa.

Yeah, I had that problem, so Opera’s MY browser, and the rest of them are stuck with FireFox, unless they choose to log into their own user profiles.
You may be able to have separate profiles for FF anyway — I believe Opera does that, although I’ve never investigated it.
where is the hyperforum html nowadays?
MMM, Thanks for your help.

perhaps the “mega” page needs some re-factoring so buttons don’t try to access elements outside their own frame. typically javascript and html code written for assumed entire browser document view (not within iframe) may need adjustment.
I’m not sure if I understand what you are saying, but can it be set up so that if you click on a link it opens a new window or tab rather than inside the frame? Would that get around it?
aquarium said:

The stuff they’re accessing is from the ABC website, and cb88’s forum site.

http://chrw.customer.netspace.net.au/hf/stsghd.html the 5 forums one is that and the gardening and holidays is http://chrw.customer.netspace.net.au/hf/ghd.html and i am now working with both open.
aquarium said:
safari browser tabs have come into their own…now you can drag urls onto tab bar to make new tab, drag tabs off to make separate window, or even drag the tabs around in the tab bar to re-arrange them.
Opera’s done that for a long time. :o)

you can set it up so that different users have profiles, and you log on when you start up the computer and it will open to your settings.
we just have one account called Admin. so not sure how to do it from there but.
Mr BG set it up when we only had the one computer, but now we all have our own we don’t need to do it any more. But there must be something about it in Help, or someone in Tech Talk can probably point you in the right direction. Once you have a profile set up you can also put a password on it so that other people can’t get into accidently and change your settings.
opening up links in separate window would do it…….unfortunatelly the code is sourced from ABC website or such, and cannot be modified (on-the-fly) as it’s from different domain, back to security feature. otherwise code could be written to set target to _blank. anyway, you could always right click the link to open in new window, i believe.

I think that’s the complaint, though! We want the post content in the centre of the HyperForum window. :o)
So mmm, you said you could make Accounts for Firefox i was just wondering how do you do this?
that’s a very colorful page…..all the links for posts in the five columns my Safari browser reports as being links that will open in new frame (window really).
which link is the problem?

for me is Gardening and holiday they open the post into a new tab or window not in to the middle as i am using FireFox 3
veg gardener said:

No idea. That’s something you’d be better off asking in the TechTalk forum, or even one of the special FF user forums — if it’s even possible. See if there’s a link to one on the Mozilla website.
aquarium said:

That’s the problem — the posts should open in the centre frame of the HyperForum, but open in a new tab/window instead.

Errrmmmm… the moon icon beside “New Topic” under “Gardening”…
:o)
just got a cold shiver looking at the abc code…it’s sever-side asp, which creates post links with target of “main”.
so i guess if the middle section that you want to display the link content in was named “main” it should do the trick.
aquarium said:

It is. That’s how the Hyperfoum works.
To get around the security feature, however, you have to click one of the icons for chat/goodnight thread (or New Topic) in the top frame and load that post (window) first. Then the whole thing behaves itself.
hmmmm…..so if the “main” middle column frame didn’t first have content in it, it would behave?
asp code is so lame……yesteryear MS technology.
i might give the old noodle a break for now.
night MMM. night all.

Almost. It actually has to have content from the website that the post contents come from in it first.

cool. I have some growing in my backyard, and I saved some seed and planted in a punnet, and I think every single one germinated! lol! But I like them because they are so hardy and the berries are pretty.

they grow well in a rockery clumpy kinda spot, and they seem to adapt to wet feet or dry. Very versatile, and I have been a fan for years :)

MMM..might help to debug this if you alert/print the “document.domain” from each of those sub-frames. document.domain can be slightly adjusted on-the-fly if required, given the restrictions for modifying are met, i.e. it can slightly broaden domain but not change domain.
a much more elaborate/ajaxy way would be to stuck all that content from those forums into a IMG tag dynamically (which does not have domain/security issues) and render as needed inside own html/script, and adjusting links (and link targets) as wanted. probably this way would take donkeys years to write unless you have lots of spare time.

I don’t really consider it a bug, and my coding skills are really limited to html inthis regard. I’ll maybe have a look at it again when I retire. Of course, feel free to have a fiddle with the code yourself. If you get anywhere, let me know. You can find my email address on the Forum Services page linked on the Hyperforum top frame.

hello tiffstar are you new to this place?
it’s been very quiet today hey !
I have been very busy, went to a support group for parent’s with kid’s with asperger’s and realised pretty quick I was like a fish out of water…none of the parent’s concern’s for their children were the same concern’s I have for my ‘aspie’ child , so I decided to look about and possibly start a group who’s ASD children are sometime’s violent. Many ASD childern can be sooo quiet and just don’t interact socially at all well.. and then there’s the one’s who get angry rage’s on at time’s taking parent’s, sibling’s ,furniture and other assorted item’s with them and leave a trail of destruction. Like mine.
I know that’s pushing it a bit , but I know there’s other’s like us who would welcome get together’s , just knowing one isn’t alone help’s.

i am drawing up a few plans. i found a plan for the rollaway nesting box which i made last year and now i am thinking of making an automatic feeder. My Graphics and woodwork teacher (same teacher) draw up plans for the automatic feeder and i can help you work out how to build it. so i like these 2 subjects. it was funny we had graphics nextdoor to the woodwork room at it wasnt in use so i asked my teacher can i do woodwork and he goes yeah sure.

now you got me thinking…how woodwork and metalwork are probably not for girls, yet they still have to do it. i think all the boys in school would refuse to do crotchet if that was taught instead of woodwork. just a thought.

i have done both and i have 2 girls in my class and one of them is a good friend of mine we talk alot, and she is going to do woodwork next year. the reasons why the guys get peed off is that they beat us becuase they have good disengiese but i get told to Slow down by my teacher.

i’ve heard an interesting theory from someone about the food pyramid being more related to profit margins…..and hence high profit margin foods like cereals are so heavily advertised and promoted as health giving.

Interesting about the fish oil thing Aquarium, quite a few people with asd’s and adhd type disorder’s are reporting they think more clearly with the supplement. We started giant son on this a week ago, and will keep him on it. I hope it help’s him. He has a hair trigger reaction to negative’s like you wouldn’t believe , he need’s all the help he can get. But going through the myriad of fish oil’s available, what’s a good one ?
morning busy people’s.
Very windy today, gale’s forcast. They dry everything out so I’ll be out and about with the watering can today. I haven’t used the hose for my allowed watering time’s for age’s, so I’m not going to feel guilty about using some today.
I was up until 2 am cleaning and setting up son’s room, I’ve just woken up, well trying to wake up. He doesn’t like change at all so he was given a run down every hour or so about what we did to his room. He can’t wait to get home thursday arvo and try out the new chair :)We have the minumum 15 people required by ACA for next sunday’s ‘ bander’s interview ‘, it’s going ahead ..and a bunch of ladies are panicking about hair and make up, and men ! they are comming over today for a girly make up fest. One of them is a make up artist. Should be fun :) I have about 200 nail polishes as well…I can never decide what colour lol.

now you got me thinking…how woodwork and metalwork are probably not for girls, yet they still have to do it. i think all the boys in school would refuse to do crotchet if that was taught instead of woodwork. just a thought.
there are many girls who would love to do woodwork and metalwork, so you can’t say it is not for them. and these days boys do “Home Science” (cooking) as well when it was once just for girls.

i’ve heard an interesting theory from someone about the food pyramid being more related to profit margins…..and hence high profit margin foods like cereals are so heavily advertised and promoted as health giving.
I like banana with my cardboard :)
I heard that when they advertise that a serving of such and such a cereal contains so many vitamens and minerals, that most of them ome from the milk you add to it!
Morning All,
Yes it’s windy here too – good for drying the washing!

Plus they advertise that there is no added sugar so what does everyone do but add sugar to make it a bit more palatable.

Gym is just about up and running. We won’t be able to add a treadmill in the bedroom, by the time Bimbo’s cycle bike and such is added back….but this is okay as we haven’t bought the treadmill yet. We’ll get one of those when Bimbo moved out.
Thank goodness we walk everywhere.
Can’t show photos until Bimbo gives me my camera back. She took it over the weekend for her birthday do…..hasn’t given it back yet.
Off to make a chicken pie for tea.

He’s pretty tired after doing it all.

hiya’s , back for a cuppa and sit down after a busy morning.. I’ts still gale force wind’s here , and dust storm’s are turing the sky brown. All that top soil :(
We need rain badly, as a lot of Oz does.
wow quiet here. Still very dusty here , my car’s windscreen was covered in dirt. And a cold wind that chill’s one’s bone’s.
I have some quiet time now for the rest of the arvo , until giant son arrives home later and for the school holiday’s. We have a daily calendar of thing’s to do for him , least try and get him off his pc and moving. That’s the plan anyway.
Our girl’s make up and hair session was a real blast yesterday :D My grey’s are gone, my fingernails are pink talon’s .. I have had ‘ my colour’s’ worked out for me lol…..my eldest daughter ‘K’ also, as she is going to be part of the ACA interview , they want to talk to someone who’s been waiting to have the band Op and what she may be feeling ect. I think it’s because shes young and pretty and the rest of us are old bag’s lol.
Nothing much going on in my garden today.. only picked some gorgeous jonquil’s for a vase , too windy/dusty and cold to venture out for long !

JUST A MUM?
A woman, renewing her driver’s license at the Motor Registration office, was asked by the counter clerk to state her occupation.
She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.
‘What I mean is,’ explained the counter clerk,
‘do you have a job or are you just a ….?’
‘Of course I have a job,’ snapped the woman.
‘I’m a Mum.’
‘We don’t list ‘Mum’ as an occupation,
‘housewife’ covers it,’
Said the clerk emphatically.
I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation, this time at our own Medicare office.
The Clerk was obviously a career woman, poised, efficient, and possessed of a high sounding title like,
‘Official Interrogator’ or ‘Town Registrar.’
‘What is your occupation?’ she probed.
What made me say it? I do not know.
The words simply popped out.
‘I’m a Research Associate in the field of
Child Development and Human Relations.’
The clerk paused, ball-point pen frozen in midair and
looked up as though she had not heard right.
I repeated the title slowly emphasizing the most significant words.
Then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement was written,
in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.
‘Might I ask,’ said the clerk with new interest,
‘just what you do in your field?’
Coolly, without any trace of fluster in my voice,
I heard myself reply,
‘I have a continuing program of research,
(what mother doesn’t)
In the laboratory and in the field,
(normally I would have said indoors and out).
I’m working for my Masters, (first the Lord and then the whole family)
and already have four credits (all daughters).
Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities,
(any mother care to disagree?)
and I often work 14 hours a day, (24 is more like it).
But the job is more challenging than most run-of-the-mill careers and the rewards are
more of a satisfaction rather than just money.’
There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she
completed the form, stood up, and personally ushered me to the door.
As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up by my glamorous new career,
I was greeted by my lab assistants — ages 13, 7, and 3.
Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model,
(a 6 month old baby) in the child development program,
testing out a new vocal pattern.
I felt I had scored a beat on bureaucracy!
And I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable to mankind than ‘just another Mum.’ Motherhood!
What a glorious career!
Especially when there’s a title on the door.
Does this make grandmothers
‘Senior Research associates in the field of
Child Development and Human Relations’
And great grandmothers
‘Executive Senior Research Associates?’
I think so!!!
I also think it makes Aunts
‘Associate Research Assistants.’

Only 1c on the verandah this morning but the sun is crawling up into the sky so the murcury is climbing too. Can see feost on the lower parts of the property.
I am gowing through the business of getting passports and similar stuff.
The regulations are so strict now that it’s a case of photocopying and having documents signed by prominant citizens etc. I went through this not long ago for superanuation. Getting out of the country is even more complicated.

yo yeehah so he would be 17 then so he is in between me and ur son is that correct?
Are you saying Pokie is really 17? Fair dink? I seriously only remember that once upon a time he was 13 – but of course, I took a year or two off the gardening forum, so nothing would surprise me.
FT is 18 in less than a month – 26 July to be exact.
He’s just gone out “for a drive” – because he has a car, his P plates, and he can! Prolly gone to KFC actually ;) knowing him – after all, it’s 2 hours since he last ate, must be time for another meal.

Snap! Guess what we had for tea, lol! The kids only had popcorn for afternoon tea and couldn’t bear to wait for me to cook dinner, so 5pm saw them hitting the toastie maker. Then we went out to get DVDs and they took so long to choose, there was only just enough time to feed them more toasties in between showers, before they went to bed.

also forgot to mention that you said Ft is older then pokie so i said so is Pokie 17.
You also forgot to put your punctuation in the right place so your meaning wasn’t clear!!!!!
Remember, us old fogeys realise that if we want to communicate our meaning clearly, we have to make what we type seem as easy to understand as possible. The reason your school teachers are on to you all the time about spelling and punctuation and all that other boring stuff is not to make your life hard, but give you the tools you need to be able to communicate effectively with other people.
For example, the sentence you typed up there …
>> also forgot to mention that you said Ft is older then pokie so i said so is Pokie 17. <<
would have been much clearer if you’d written it as, for example:
>> I thought you meant that FT is older than Pokie. Is Pokie 17?
I’m guessing that’s what you meant, anyway.
From the way you wrote it, I thought you meant that you knew Pokie was 17. I don’t know, myself, like I said, all I remember is that a number of years ago he was 13 – I guess he could be anywhere from 15 or older.
are you getting ready for home schooling Yeehah? ;)
there was an article in recent Grass Roots about home schooling.

Morning…up for the day:(
Taking orders for cups of tea, milo and yesterday’s perked coffee …nuked.
Seeing as we are up this early…… shouldn’t be a problem getting the chook & duck areas cleaned up and new hay spread round.
Also we have an extra rooster…. makes note to send Pepe email about a free-be rooster for his girlies.
Going to use all the poultry waste in the very first no-dig area of the garden. Noticed some lawn has popped up in the area (think it’s lawn …) so will put a layer of newspaper down first. That’ll also clean out the newspapers a bit here in the house.

Oh is she:(…. hope your mum improves real soon VG:)
Bimbo busted me in the gym last night and has talked me (real easy to do too) into going with her to 2 training workouts at her local gym. She has a personal trainer and so for the next two Monday nights…. I’m going to learn how to use the gym equipment safely and correctly. Elf is going along to watch and laugh.
About 8 people in the session….and I know a couple of them as they are Bimbo’s friends. So I shouldn’t be too embarrassed and will feel comfortable with them.
Hoping to be able to buy a mini hot house from the reject shop today. That way I can get myself sorted out with tomato seeds for the coming season.
Well you sleepy heads missed out on

I’ve been repotting pot and hanging plants that got blown down the other day in the wind we had. Started pruning my roses and decided to dig up one that was not that good and broke my new stainless steel fork! Looks like it is cast instead of proper forged steel. Rubbish! Don’t buy Clarendon tools!

well there you go Grassy, I should have checked with you first.
I did post it on here not to buy them ages ago Blue you might have missed it—did you buy them from an Ag show or such thats where they seem to sell most of them—

yes, it was at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. Otherwise they sell over the web. I do remember now you mentioning that you have problems with some loppers, but didn’t realise they were the same people.
Yes they are very poor —but NOT in price—:(
Blue if they are still under gar’ you could email them and get them to replace—I did this twice with my pruners
Grasshopper said:

yes. I have the receipt so I have sent them an email through their website. If they don’t respond in a few days I will phone them.
Good on you Blue—if they get enough complaints they will have to lift their game
Good afternoon all – if anyone’s out there!
I’ve had a busy day so only just sat down at the computer. I invited friends to lunch and the cooking, tidying and such took up all morning. I cooked vegetable soup, Chicken and Chorizo hotpot, salad and garlic bread . Dessert was fresh fruit salad and ice cream. It all went down very well :)
We’ve got family coming over tomorrow so it will be another busy day!

Crikey. I have a 250 megabyte plan and i don’t use it even though i’m on the net everyday.
Secret is, don’t look at crap which doesn’t do or mean anything. Like a video of your mate falling off a bike. Big deal. Or stealing music. Or someone’s cat farting. Who cares.
How many photos do we download, never to look at again?

Laksa is pretty much one of my top ten forages.

Our dinner was pretty plain – savoury mince, mashed potato and steamed veg. Kids cleaned it up, though, and I’ll used the leftover mince and potato to make mini cottage pies in muffin tins tomorrow (planning a big cook-up) for Mr Y to reheat for dinner on Mon.
Leggalam is on speshl at the stupidmarket, gonna get a freshun termorrer, still deciding whether to have roast lunch or roast dinner. Throws the kids outta whack having the main meal in the middle of the day though, we so rarely do it. Will see how busy the oven is and make an on-the-spot decision at the relevant time.

I dunno if there is any difference, I just know it as Curry Laksa! There is a soup stock with curry/chilli spices in it (I used a ready made paste) and coconut milk, and that is served over bean sprouts, two types of noodles, choice of meats, and a bit a greens.

And with the number of chokos your fence was growing a coupla years ago, I can imagine that it’s just as well you love ‘em!

When we go out for a Thai meal I always have Tom Kha soup which is coconut and chilli with lemongrass and either chicken or prawns OOOh it’s delish! There’s other stuff in it but I don’t know all the spices.
My old mate down the road scored a 4 metre pice of board. About 200 wide and 25mm thick hardwood. Looks like it is about 100 years old and all pitted and scarred. I tried to talk him out of using it as a walkway in a garden. A hit with the belt sander or planer and i reckon it’ll come up a treat. Hope he lets me at it!!!!

Yeah i’ll do something with it. Even if i hit it with the belt sander and then some boiled linseed oil. Bash a few steel railway spikes into it and hang a coat off them. Whatever. Too good to walk on.
I grab any old hardwood i can find. It’s harder to come by these days. Got a decent pile of 4 × 4 and 4 × 3 which will be good for something. One day….
Might do the boogle. Have to decide what to do tomorrow.
I could go to Grafton and get a load of coopoo as well as a new spinning reel for lure fishing.
Go fishing.
Do stuff at home.
Do nothing.
See what tomorrow brings. Only 3 of the above four are a chance….

There’s a kitchen company here that uses recycled timber, and other stuff if old isn’t your thing. They’ve won heaps of awards and are ultra expensive but the workmanship is fantastic. Some old neighbours of ours used them for their reno, the timber was silky oak and came out of an old shearing shed at Julia Ck.
Dana Kitchens they’re called.
I love old timber—with lots of character—would love to be able to have a home built from it—
Good morning! :)
Glorious weather here – best time of the year I reckon. My un-staked tomatoes are sprawling and caterpillars have already had their share so need to pay some attention to the food garden and have quite a few cuttings – mainly Grevillea and Bougainvillea prepared but not in propagation mix yet, and half made Cumquat marmalade – and …
Well, I’d better not linger here too long!Oh and builder coming at 9am to quote on storm-damaged ceiling…
Good Morning campers,
It’s a dull day here, could be rain around. I’m going to pot my new roses and sort my compost out this morning. A lawn-mowing man donated 2 huge bags of grass cuttings for me yesterday and I have to make Lasagne with them along with the Autumn leaves and chook poo etc.
BBL
Morning from Thee, bloody cold outside and off to start some rose pruning !!!
Hi Thee, how are you?
all good here , in and out rose pruning !
Arvo all, didnt even get on this moring. i went of a drive with dad to neslons bay, and then had lunch with his friends there. and then drove home and then playing in the garden for a while. the police wonder why all the animals along our road go weird when they come flying past its becuase of them if they got a brain and work it out it be good only nice people around here is the fire bradge they know most of us have horses and so they turn the sirnens off and leave the lights going, why cant the police and ambluace do the same. it be pretty simple and nice as my nextdoor neight nearly fell off her horse just before due to a police car. and then a fire truck went past and turned of his sirens and it was all good.
seems very quite here.

Yeah… I’m in the kitchen cooking and getting things ready for the casserole we are having for tea tonight.
This morning the elf & I went to a paint shop for info on low fume or no fume paints for the gym room.
One thing the Toyshop didn’t tell us, was when dark colours are added to the low paint mix……. the fumes is upped to regular smelling paint.
2 more paint shops in our area we are going to visit and see what they say and then the cheapest place will get our $$$.
back now.
Arvo all.
Myself, my eldest daughter and friend’s have had an absolute ball today :D ..for the lapbander’s ‘ A Current Affair ‘ show taping . So much fun lol..one lady had lost so much weight that she and another girl both fitted into the former’s large sized pant’s lol, what a hoot that was.
My daughter and I did an interview together.. we were sooo nervous! They asked her what she was feeling about her pending lap band procedure, and she did very well, lot’s of “awww ‘s” when she said I was her inspiration :D
I showed before and after pic’s , as did other’s.
The food went down really well for our after party :D
The show will air mid July , not sure of the exact date yet but they will let us know asap. The show will coincide with a book release by a leading lap band surgeon, Proff O’Brien. They took 2 hour’s of footage and when it does air, it will only be 10 minute’s !
Now to get the make up off and relax with a cuppa :)
Hi veg.
“then a fire truck went past and turned of his sirens and it was all good”. Reminds me of a story I was sent recently…:)
A firefighter was working on the engine outside the station when he
noticed a little girl nearby in a little red wagon with little ladders hung
off the sides & a garden hose tightly coiled in the middle. The girl was
wearing a firefighter’ s helmet. The wagon was being pulled by her
dog & her cat. The fire fighter walked over to take a closer look.
‘That sure is a nice fire truck,’ the firefighter said with admiration.
‘Thanks,’ the girl replied.
The firefighter looked a little closer & noticed the girl had tied the wagon
to her dog’s collar and to the cat’s testicles.
‘Little partner,’ the firefighter said. ‘I don’t want to tell you how to run your
rig, but if you were to tie that rope around the cat’s collar, I think you could
go faster.’
The little girl replied thoughtfully, ‘You ‘re probably right, but then I wouldn’t
have a siren.’
This Tuesday we are off up north for the day.
My dad was rushed back into hospital again last week in the middle of the night. He’s home now…. Elf said he’d take me up to see my dad.
So while there, we’ll see my brother & his wife.
Also just got off the phone and we’ll be catching up with Drylander.

Why don’t you have a look into the alternate eco friendly paints? They may be low fume as well. They’ll be more expensive though.

When Littlefella was tiny I chose to paint with low-fume paint, one that was being advertised as being safe for asthmatics at the time – Breatheasy or something? – and when I read the paint tin it said that adding colour would add VOCs. The base paint is made without adding VOCs (volatile organic compounds) but ALL of the colouring that gets added in has VOCs. So the entire inside of my house had white ceilings and walls. I called it my Maggie Tabberer decorating look :)

Mum and Dad probably grew up watching it when they were kids. It used to scare the bajoolies outta me, so I was so glad when Mum banned it (because it gave me nightmares). The cool kids watched it, so the only way I didn’t get labelled a total dag was because I could honestly say “Mum won’t let me watch it”- which is a language other kids understand, and it gets you sympathy.
Really GTG! Bye.

yes. it is a medical show. the chief doctor, Dr House, is brilliant and a rat bag.
A busy weekend here. Had to do my charity biscuits most of yesterday. Today was severe retartdation day for 3 or 4 Bauhinia galpinii that had gradually grown towards the road that runs past our place.
Got a lot done but will need to finish it another day. Slow and steady wins the race and that’s just as well because I don’t work very fast any more.
Bought an Eremophila at the markets this morning. (I had to deliver biscuits to the cafe in the grounds) It’s a yellow flowering one, Now, where to plant it. Shame Shame! I only got one plant. That’s not like me at all. I did get 4 big avocados for $2 though.
See you tomorrow.

Happy Monday to everyone. Been out trimming more of the Bauhinia and at last I can see the road. It’s not finished yet but it’s 2/3 done now.
Will have to hire a truck to take the prunings away. There are 2 huge piles so far.
Off now to make more biscuits. I think I’m sorry I offered to make these in the first place. Thinking that if I put chilli or mustard in the mix then people would stop buying them and I could stop having to make them. LOL.

Hi Peps. My book work would only be reading. Not a bad idea though.
well at least the grass is greening up – personally i would like to see it rain for a month – things were dry before we got 10mm in the last week.

Anyone happen to watch Ian Hewitson’s cooking show today?
He was filming at Kingfisher Bay Resort on Fraser Is and commented that there were no mossies because the wonderful resort had stocked gambusia in the waterways.
AStupid stupid man. I’ve rung the EPA and complained loud and long. Someone from their staff on the Island will ring me tomorrow.
>you played WOW before or runescape.
News to me!

I was listening to him and heard his comment. But I am not understanding what he said was wrong. Guess cos’ I’m nut up near you to understand.
I’ve only played first person shooters like the Quakes, Unreal etc. Not a fanatical gamer though.

gambusia or mosquito fish were introduced to control mossies and are now a noxious pest in waterways.
Echidnas and Platypus are featured on tonight’s David Attenborough’s Life of Mammal’s :)

Gambusia is the fishy version of the cane toad.
We’ve just realised we missed Supernatural last night. Did Dean get bumped off or was there a last minute rescue. Somebody help!!!!!

Our dam is full of gambusia and we still have mossie plagues in summer. Maybe ours aren’t hungry fish!

I was facinated but I think Mr Attenborough was pretty spellbound as well. We have such strange animals in Aus compared to other countries.
mosquitofish……i remember a small dam in zumstein private property….and indeed there was no mosquitos there. these fish do prefer warmer weather to be active.
it can also become a pest…and is illegal to keep in some places.

The EPA is aware of the Gambusia at Kingfisher Bay but can’t say how or when they arrived. The resort denied their existance until one was poked under their nose and the Fisheries Dept are the only body licensed to use the required poison.
The Fisheries Dept knows they are there but says they can’t kill them without killing the native fish as well. They doubt the resort had anything to do with it and they were probably there already.
So it all boils down to nothing happening. Hewie has certainly ruffled some feathers and phone calls are being made.

I was under the impression that no other fish can live with the gambusia because they eat everything. Not just mozzie wrigglers.

Probably. The EPA is hoping this new bit of publicity will get the Fisheries Dept moving.
