Good morning all.
My stars Oct already, the year is flying by!!

I’m rushing off too in a minute , helping eldest daughter clean her flat. We have a council hard rubbish collection next week and the girl and I are bringing some items over here to be collected, like an old bedhead and assoted other big stuff. Her lap band Op is tomorrow arvo, so we only have today. I’ll be there when she wakes up , and she will be staying here for a week post op so I can look after her.
Must run, BBL.

I just might have a lazy day today. I’ll just do a few small things then sit around being bored I suppose.

We have a handyman here putting in some railings on the steps. They are only 4 treads high but I happen to fall down them the other day and now MrP is hot to trot about getting railings. Got to love him I know but the fall was because one of the hooks came out of the gate (to hard to go into detail) and I lost my footing because of it. MrP has me totally bed ridden and demented in my dottage. Anyway railings will look nice I guess.

Well I’m off to try and get out of doing anything like work for a day. Hope you can manage to do the same.

So sweet of Mr P! It’s better to put the railings in before you REALLY need them :)

You might have lost your footing for other reasons but a railing might have helped you break your fall….

I have fallen a couple of times in the backyard from losing my footing getting tangled up in the hose or some prunings I haven’t cleared up and all I can do is try and land without hurting myself too much. I feel so silly as I am not THAT old either!!

Nooooooooooo… don’t want October :(

October and November is the busy time at work… if I had my way we’d just skip straight to Christmas.

(morning all :) )

Hello all.
Anyone know how to stop everything opening in a new tab? It’s driving me crazy and is why I haven’t been around much. Well that and the fact that I move this weekend so have been working my little bottom off. I have Firefox btw.
It’s not opening multiple tags, it’s just as if the central bit (Uncle Chris’ Hyperforum for anyone going “Central bit??”) opens in a new tab and then I have to click back and forth between the two tags to read any posts. I think it happened after one of Firefox’s automatic updates, the one that changed the look of everything.

==================
Have you noticed that after a certain age you don’t just “fall over”, it’s she “had a fall”?

Last time I fell down the steps MrBL and his mate gleefully told people I’d “had a fall”.

Hi Horty,

Don’t know sorry. I use FF but I don’t use the Hyperforum. You could experiment with the settings in Tools -> Options -> Tabs I guess.

How are you going?? Have you moved yet?

It’s one of life’s mysteries. It happens on my laptop too and it’s Windows Vista.

Arvo…. still cleaning…I have no idea why!!

Its as windy as hell here and dust can be seen in the air. Elf is just breathing and the house is closed up to keep the dust out.

Hmm, just had a quick experiment on the Hyperforum. Doesn’t seem to be related to the FF settings. Are you accessing the hyperforum from a bookmark? Only thing I can think of is to open a new FF window, go to http://www.geocities.com/ogidnic/oforums/stsd.html without using a bookmark, and see if it still happens. Maybe Collie will know what’s going on.

hi horty. before clicking on another post, click on the chat icon (lips?) first and then the other posts should work OK. If you click on a link that leads outside the forum you have to do this to get back into normal mode. I try to remember to open any external links to a new page so that it doesn’t upset the equilibrium. It’s supposed to be some sort of security factor,

No, he doesn’t have enough strength in his lung to breath for too long through one….after awhile this causes other breathing problems….that can last a couple of days.

OK. Stuffed if you do and stuffed if you don’t! Commiserations to the Elf.

Thanks. I just boss him round like I am today…no going outside AT ALL.

Yikes! Clicking on the lips has now caused the hyperforum to vanish completely every time I click on a post, and be replaced with the new post.
Might try manually typing in the hyperforum addie and resaving it as home page.

That link you put has all the forums EXCEPT for the gardening forum for me Bon!

I move in 3 days. Home packing most of this week, although working tomorrow.

Collie, where are you??? :(

This is just no fun.

Sorry to hear about the Elf having a hard time of it Lucky. Stay safe indoors.

This is the addie I’m using.

http://chrw.customer.netspace.net.au/hf/stsgd.html

Does it do weird stuff for anyone else?

I think I might just save the gardening one as my new home page, it’s not like I look at Scribbly that much any more.

However when I open it in IE7 it does what you describe – posts opening in a new tab. Weird.

Doh! I can’t remember how to set a page as my home page! Help!
Maybe I should just wait ‘til after I move and hope that something jiggles into place! LOL!

Anyway, off to pack more boxes now…

Using the same one Hort—ok here

Now that is weird, it’s the same one. When I click on the one you posted it does strange things but when I use the same addy but out of my favouites it’s fine.

Ok, I’m going to delete my bookmark to the hyperforum, restart my puter and try again. But first, how do I save a new homepage again anyone?

Don’t worry, I found it in Tools. It’s been so long since I changed my homepage I’d forgotten. :O

I did it in public :(
Tripped over a raised area in the middle of an intersection, couldn’t see it because of my eye prob. Fell headfirst and landed on my knee and shoulder. Cries from all round of “Are you right love ?” SO embarrassing!! I was OK, just a bruised knee and ankle bone. I refuse to say“I had a fall’. I tripped over, that’s my story!

I move in 3 days. Home packing most of this week, although working tomorrow.

————————————-

Good luck with your move Horty:)

Arvo All,
Wow, October sneaked up on me! So did all the other months this year to be honest.
I’ve put in a hard day’s labour and finished my new bed :) I’ve put B&B and compost in it and it will be fine for my tomatoes and lettuce and radishes etc. When I harvest all the onions I’ll have bags of space but till then it’s sqeezy. I must look up what follows onions soon.

sigh It didn’t work. Goodbye hyperforum. You will be missed.

You see it’s like this I didn’t fall over or even “down.” I kinda slipped to the bottom of the stairs, one tread after the other. I know Bluegreen is right, that had we had railings I might have been able to save myself. I never even got a decent bruise to be able to boast about. Mostly my ego was hurt.

Don’t you send that dust up here L1. I’ve just done the whole bookcase. I know I said I wasn’t going to do any work today but I lied, obviously. Doing nothing is darn near impossible I reckon.

LOL. I forgot kids.

Stupid wheel on my bicycle fell off…it had a flat back tyre (we’re talking $$slime tubes$$ here) and the wheel was not straight. I put it on the bike carrier at the back of the Patrol to take it to town to the bicycle feller…reversed over all the bumps left over from the soaking rains we have had…drove forward…bump..“wonder what that was”…drive forward about 30 metres…oh no there is my back wheel on the dirt…

Took it all in…$106 please…I had run over it without realizing it…something had loosened the wheel and that was why it was not straight…I’m still trying to get it home from the office…must be a reason I am not back on this damn bike yet…

Hi Pain Master, how was your latest trip?
=============
Good fun, decided it was time to walk across the Owen Stanley Ranges.

apart from fun, how was it? Is this a good time of year to go hiking in PNG? A lot of schools “do” the KoKoda track during the Sept/Oct holidays…

Correct, there were a few schools from down south who were walking along the track. Not as busy as I thought it would be but the last two days we saw a few groups heading out from Kokoda.

While it should be a good time to go hiking, we copped our fair share of rain, and traditional mud of the Kokoda Track. But the good thing with the humidity meant that the fungi were out and about :)

Sorry, I went off to fix a light but now I have sticky-taped the switch as the light won’t go on…new starter, new fluro tube…old (about 30 years) fitting…

I’m sure the school supervisors were delighted as well….with the fungi growing on the shoes etc…Yep, one forgets the steep and muddy reputation of that track…I used to view that documentary annually…it was required viewing when we were at school…

I’m not sure, it’s black and white and jerky…there’s one bloke helping another along, but the second bloke has got a blindfold…the film kind of fades out after a close-up of the blindfold…it was filmed as the boys came up the trail…

have to go and garner provisions…

maybe later

glad you are safe and sound, tho’…

I watched a bicycle wheel fall off the bike from the back of a 4WD and roll itself down the hill on the footpath once. Unfortunately I was not able to keep up with the vehicle to tell them where their wheel went. Wonder if they ever found it?

yeah it is really hard and impossible to do nothing because we do something everyday e.g eat, drink, sleep, talk, type etc (sorry for being smart i just have to say it).

It’s a bit like hubcaps, really…you’d think you’d see them in the rearvision mirror but you don’t…maybe some kind soul leant the wheel against a tree for the owners to find???

Back now, feed the goats and played table tennis again.

I’ve been gardening :) Feeding roses and planting things in my new vegie bed.

It IS Very quiet here!
I’m off to cook now . BBL

I’ve just been out to feed the worms here at work – Thursdays are my day.

Opened the first farm… on top of the carpet covering there is the most beautiful, delicate little mushroom fungi growing straight and tall. I’ve taken a photo but it won’t do it any justice. Just gorgeous – now I suspect there are faeries living in our worm farms :)

I’ll post the photo tonight if it comes out half decent.

(I didn’t want to disturb the fungi, so I closed that farm and gave the food to the other one)

I’m here Veg.. just putting those mushroom pictures up – won’t be around for long.

OK – sorry if I get this wrong – going to try clickable thumbnails for the first time. These are the pictures of the tiny fungi that popped up in the carpet in the worm farm at work. In real life it was infinitely more gorgeous.

Oh.. I’ll just put the borders back!!

Hi all..back from the hospital, eldest daughter had her lap band surgery late this afternoon , and she is fine :D
She didn’t even have that much pain! I think I was the stressed one, she wasn’t even nervous the sod lol. ..I will go pick her up in the morning.They boot you out pretty darn quick these days. She has to lose approx half her weight, she lost 14 kg in 2 weeks on Optifast and was in perfect condition for the Op :)

I’m exhausted and off to bed in 5 mins.

Argh – I put the borders back but broke the links! Last time, I promise :):)

Morning….. not sure what I’ll be doing today…. egg-cept caring for the elf.

Very sick with vomiting and such. Makes his asthma play up and his diabeties as well.

I even had to blow dry his hair this morning.

Has to be a bug as when he picked me up from my nieces place yesterday arvo, he wasn’t well then.

Had a FAB TAB of a day with my sister too…….

Glad you had a good day with your sister…bet she enjoys it as much as you do…what did she think of the markets?

OK Question time:

How do I save a topic as a book mark, save myself going back looking for “Let’s talk tomatoes” and others?

Firefox here, latest download

I’m not sure if there’s a really good way to do this, but…

If you go View By Topic, and find the topic you want to bookmark, in FF you can right click and select “Bookmark this link…”

BUT the downside is, when you open up the bookmark later, all you can see is the posts in that thread, NOT the frame at the top that says “Gardening Forum – By Time – By Topic” etc, and NOT the list of posts/topics on the left. You can however still hit reply and add to the topic – and then when you go back to your original Gardening Forum bookmark, you have at least bumped the topic up.

Hope that makes sense??

I really should bookmark topics but I always forget.

The patient is being very good, ate all her soup..she is on clear fluids for 24 hours. I have a few flavours lined up that she loves.
I ran out of puff myself earlier and had a nana nap, slept 2 hours solid.
Now for tea for the rest of us. Bbl

Thanks Bon008, I have gone back and added my favourite topics now…It doesn’t bother me how they open, so long as I can find them in a hurry…

dinetta i may as well create a free site and add links to important topics so its easy to find them.

Whew.. luckily in WA we have another few weeks before daylight savings start. It’s notm uch work for me to do in the office but we’re really busy right now..

No long weekend for us either :(

Hopefully it will be a good weekend though, I’m getting a reiki treatment for my stomach on Sunday fingers crossed

Lucky I hope the Elf is feeling better soon…no doubt he has a tribe of “sympathisers” on hand to comfort him

Getting a doctor out to him tonight….. think he’ll be on more antibiotics, got a jumper on and thick socks. Feeling cold. Me I’m in t-shirt & shorts.

Loved the markets and now knows where I buy what. So when I tell her…she’ll have a better idea of what we get up to.

evening all.

Lucky1 said:

Morning….. not sure what I’ll be doing today…. egg-cept caring for the elf.

Very sick with vomiting and such. Makes his asthma play up and his diabeties as well.

I even had to blow dry his hair this morning.

Has to be a bug as when he picked me up from my nieces place yesterday arvo, he wasn’t well then.

Had a FAB TAB of a day with my sister too…….

Take care MrLucky.

really quite here today as well.

My goodness this old forum is a bit quiet. It’s about to get quieter at night I suppose because it happens every summer when you all go onto daylight saving time. By the time I get to the puter at night you have all left for the evening. Ho Hum. What will be will be.

MrP has installed a sprinkler system around most off our garden beds during the last few days. So far it’s working well with dam water being used. It’s good not having to stand with a hand held hose for hours. We are very much in need of some rain up here.

Won’t be on till late tomorrow. Have an early appointment.

hey pomolo.

Nah, going to bed: early start in the morning…

yeah i will.

good morning all…lovely cool but sunny day . I’m happily playing in the dirt today weeding, picked some silverbeet for the chooks. Potting up more hanging baskets of petunias. Plant some more s/beet sedlings for the ones lost to whatever munched them. More pruning in the fernery to do. All my veges/ fruit trees are coming along just fine :)
Deciding where to plant out capsicums. Brain drain..

The patient is going wonderful.. I made an eggnog for her brekky, and got her out walking the paths with me. Suddenly shes noticing all the stuff I’m growing!

We have been to another markets this morning and had a ball. Came home with 17 new plants, a bag full of avocados and a bag full of bananas. the only reason we didn’t get more is because we couldn’t carry them.

Got black mondo, yellow hot poker, federation dasies, pink melaleuca, green goddess arum, verbena, etc. I also bought a low chill raspberry plant. If it works I will get a few more but I just want to be sure that it is a tropical one and that it fruits well.

For Bubba. You should try the Yandina Markets on a Saturday if ever your up this way. Good quality plants and reasonable prices. Except for the raspberry everything else was either $3 or $4.

before i drink my second beer and become totally incoherent (big bottles)…..bought a Dramm watering wand today. Watering with it is like using a bucket, without the big splash of using a bucket. 10 minutes to thoroughly soak entire garden. they don’t stock them at bunnings, so had to go to a posh nursery to get one.
cheers.

…back to the matter at hand = beer.

I’ll keep it in mind.

Hello Folks,
I’ve not been around much the last few days, been out and about :)
Today I went to the GA Expo at Caulfield. Had a great day, spen a lot of money(No surprise) Watched Sir Pete at his patch, listened to JCW and John Patrick on the Ask it Solve it stage. Bought home 6 Irises, 5 Carnations, a white Dicentra, a rose, 3 Raspberry canes, some seeds from the Italian Gardener stand and I think that’s all. Good retail therapy :)

well i have found some important ones will post them up here in bits.

Back.

Evening all, for those states on daylight saving , don’t forget to turn clocks an hour forward tonight.
Extra gardening time in the evenings :)

I’ve been on night shifts so I havn’t kept up, but Lucky I hope the Elf is feeling better.

C’mon you lot. It’s time to get up and get going. Just because it’s Sunday doesn’t mean there is nothing to do you know.

Warm here already. Getting pretty desperate for some rain now. My Michellia champaca has already lost foliage during winter and now it’s losing new growth because it needs water badly. It’s easy to keep smaller plants alive by hosing but you can’t do that with a tree. Don’t have enough water for that.

Will be planting out yesterdays purchases, today but might do it this arvo when it’s cooler.

Be good!

the third beer did it last night…slept like a baby.
all my garden beds are in production at the moment, so can’t do much in the garden…shame as it’s a beautiful day.
waiting for the broad beans and fennel to finish so can plant out toms and corn, and a couple of melons. israeli ha-ogen (green flesh) melon is delicious.
recently made a cutting board from spare hardwood, and made a birdhouse.
what’s my next project?
cheers

Good morning all :)

I have a few posts to catch up on so will be climbing in the next little while…

I was up before 5am thankyou! Courtesy of the ducks – fear the mother duck with 9 ducklings right outside the bedroom window will cause a complaint at this rate. At the first first sign of dawn the chanting starts and build to a crescendo and loud quacking 9rivalling any rooster noise!) if I’m not out to make sure feed bowl and water are full! Think she has me well-trained – then the others start – am sure it won’t go down too well early Sunday morning and really don’t want attention of Council drawn – just a tad over the regulation 6 head of (adult) poultry here.

But to be really honest I did sneak back to bed for a snuggle with Mabel the cat for a couple of hours after that…:p

Sounds like fun! Pom, Do you know the species of the pink (you mean flower colour I take it?) Melaleaca? I am trying to keep going and propagate a red-flowering one that I bought from Nielsen’s Native Nursery a few years ago that is now too shaded by my big Eucalypt – but has never done as well as I’d hoped. My other paperbarks are white or cream flowered except for the smaller M thymifolia in 2 shades of pink – I’d be very interested in what you have especially if it grows to 3-5m tall?

i am going to try and get CB88 to put the Index topic up the top so it can easily be found.

what’s my next project?
cheers

++++++++++++++++++++

have a party and invite the Melburnian forumers to come and admire your efforts?

Good for you aqua. I’m trying to get MrP to make a kids wheelbarrow or wooden cars or a billy cart from a pattern that I found in a mag this morning. My MrP wasn’t blessed with any woodworking skills but #1 daughter thinks he should be creative enough to do stuff for his grandson. He has got till Xmas to come up with somrthing.

Sorry cackles, I don’t know which one it is. Something I never seem to learn from market shopping is to get the name of plants I buy. They tell me that the price would be higher if they have to tag them all and I accept that but I could write the names on them myself if I took pen and paper to jot them down as I purchase. I always forget and try to store names in my memory. (which is a big laugh) I can’t recall what I had for breakfast let alone a botanical name 2 days after the fact.

No worries, Pom!

I actually just popped in to check mail and as there was an email featuring broccoli I thought I’d add it to the other thread (sorry Lucky if it spoils it!)…:p

now i can rest before mowing grass later this arvo
—————————————-
Now you have daylight saving you can double your afternoon rest.

Arvo all :) Sleep in Pom ? Not on your life, I don’t know the meaning of the word!

I got the daughter patient up early for a walk, decided to get youngest daughter up to go walking with us too..lots of moaning it’s too early, tough.
They grumbled and mumbled and whinged and I heard “ mums obviously had her b*tchflakes today!”.

Lunchtime eldest and I went to a banders meet, we had a ball, I brought home more clothes than I took lol, and eldest girl got some in a couple sizes smaller that she will get into soon enough.

Now for the arvo activitities..after a cool drink on the patio, I’ll be out in the garden tending my carrots :D

yes its a long day.
just mulched beans, toms and celery, carrots.
that was a nice leisurely job in the shade.
still have to mow and plant out spinach and.- ha – there’s plenty of time left in the day

NRL final tonight going to mums friends house for a bbq, frist one ready yet again.

Some more things I have picked up from freecycle…1000 pavers ( have to collect them tomorrow) well that saves me buying them for the front garden paths.
And 6 × 15 lt plastic cooler water bottles…I thought perhaps I can sit them about the orange tree for watering..half bury them and put in a shovelful of sand to sit the bottles on.. small hole in..

Hello….. finally have time for a bit of computer play……. beautiful day here:D

Hi Lucky hows things —a lot coler here today after 3 days of 30+

Soory Lucky have to go—maybe catch up another time—Love to Elf

Thats okay sweetie…not sure how long I’ll be here myself.

Arvo All,
Back from my long lunch afternoon with a girlfriend. Really nice relaxing time browsing shops and having lunch and coffee. Bonus was that the bus trip was free – seniors Week!

Evening all.

Good morning all :)

Looking like another nice Spring day here :)

Been up since 4:45 am – usual duck alarm.that’s real time though as QLD is NOT on Daylight Savings

Enjoy the day everyone!

I’m back! Been away a month (did you notice?). Got home at about 11pm last night; got to go to work this morning. Veggie patch looked like a jungle when I walked past it last night in the gloom. Hubby’s idea of veggie gardening was to report to me that he was eating the silverbeet. LOL. Considering its about 4 foot high, I should think so! Got to work today and tomorrow so won’t get out there until Wednesday; but its survived for a month, another couple of days shouldn’t hurt.

Morning all.
Welcome back SueBK, those veges of your’s sound great! Pics soon ?

I’m running about like the proverbial headless chicken, various people to do with giant son due here at 10 am. I’m cleaning and vacuuming at great speed.
Ohh forgot the loo!
Gone.
I shall be back.

Ohh forgot the loo!
Gone
+++++++++++++++++
But where did it go HP?

Greetings all. Safely back in Oz. Dancing the dance etc.
Anybody want to weed my vegie patches? You can have the weeds for free. Maybe i should put a sign out the front.

“FREE “WEEDS. PICK YOUR OWN”

“FREE “WEEDS. PICK YOUR OWN”

FREE “CHOOK FOOD” PICK YOUR OWN………………..might go even quicker;P

Morning green wonders:D

Cold, wintry, windy and rained overnight….. my good buddy is back:D

Grandkitty slept over (first time) at Daddy Benny’s house last night… house is so old now:(

No one to help me put new sheets on the bed last night:(

No one to play “I’ll put my paw between the headboard and mattress and you grab it Poppy”

No one to help “sort out the little people’s food bowls at tea time”

Man for a little kitty, Milly makes a lot of impact in this house.

Told Bimbo, Benny can move in here instead of her moving out In Jan 09…. then we won’t miss Milly.

More home dramas.

Son’s mate’s Mum went on a bender yesterday (prozac and booze= not good). He’s here and doesn’t want to go home. She’s home and wants him there.

I’m just the ham in the sandwich.

The good news is I got him back at school today.
He only lasted till midday but it’s a start and I’ve talked to the guidance officer.

I’m walking a fine line between helping and interferring ATM. :(

Sounds good. We’ve got fish and chips planned. After the late night last night and working today I KNOW I don’t want to cook tonight. But F&C will be supplemented with cucumber, beetroot and maybe one or two sugar snap peas from the veggie patch :-)) Had one pea this morning. YYYUUUMMMOOO.

No tommies or carrots yet.

VERY

PANIC PANIC PANIC

My plan for the next few weeks was to steadily beaver away in the garden so that when the greywater approval comes through from the council, the garden isn’t looking too much like it’s been abandoned for years and left to fend for itself. Yes, I am embarrassed for the retic men to see it as it is now! I should have at least two weeks before the approval comes through…

Today the retic man emails and said can they pop in for half an hour on Wednesday morning :(

That leaves me after work tonight and after work tomorrow!!! If I am VERY lucky (e.g. OH helps out :)) we can finish the weeding and sweep (shovel, really) the paving… that will have to be enough.

Hmm.. if I get desperate I may have to take a day of leave tomorrow!!

7 o’clock already

its only 11 past 6 here.

Ooh – ABC Shop website has the 2009 Organic Gardener Calendar as well as the 2009 Gardening Australia diary – YAY!!!

Hunted high and low for the 2008 diary, never found one :(

Now, do I rush out and buy them ASAP, or email my parents & OH and tell them they HAVE to get them for me for Christmas??? If they don’t, and stocks run out… there would be trouble!

is it daylight savings already???

warm weather and cyclones here we come…

I LOVED the 2007 diary, because it gave me a place to write down when I planted things, or when I started the worm farm, etc – I don’t have a very good concept of time so for once in my life I could say “I planted those a month ago” instead of “more than 2 weeks and less then 10 weeks ago” :D

Maybe I’ll buy them and then give them to someone to give back to me grin

I’m sorry guys… I have just gone through my photos of recent times, and the day I spent up at Goroka for the Cultural festival, well it is just too hard to decide which photos I want to download to the bucket to show you… It’s IMPOSSIBLE!

I guess you will just have to miss out….

Hi and Bye too. I have been digging up leaking water mains all afternoon after finding soggy ground late morning. Rang the plumber straight away but he didn’t get here today. At least the the leak site is all exposed and he just needs to put in a joiner. However I need him to look at the other taps etc including kitchen sink Flickmixer that also needs attention…

>How cute is this???

LOL!!

Morning all.

ps glad you’re back , now have a rest )

What’s a rest?

G’day gardeners. Havin an early cuppa. Big list today. Daunting amount of work to do here. The place is overrun. Glad the Mrs mows and stuff or i’d just move out i think. Scary out there. Might go fishing instead.

yep – i have been to the auction – and yep the spelling of gawler is perfect.
unfortunately i’m not a real poultry buff – i sometimes think i should become a fancier but then i think ‘nah any old hen is good at scratching, so why bother’. LOL

yeah it was on another forums i visit Backyard Poultry a good site and forums still cant be this one ;) then i remembered where you where from and thought i may ask if you go there. yeah i reckon its good to have a look around the auctions.

is it like a Jungle.
+++++++++++++++
No. I have just spent 6 weeks in a jungle and it isn’t quite that bad.
Just got a lot to do is all. Apart from weeding, i have to lay a few bricks and build a timber retainer wall. Then Build the compost bays i started, build 4 raised beds and fill them with soil etc etc etc. Make a dripper system for my spare block boundary garden. Also gotta wash my ute, but not much point if i get a load or two of manure. Get my caravan registered. Whipper snip and spray.
Then i will have lunch.

just rename the place – call it the ‘Fly River valley’ and explain to the neighbours that you have grown to love the jungle environment.

Might make a start.
Have a good’n.

Now, where is that fishing gear……..

Jeez Longy what will you do for the rest of the day ;)

Morning all

explain to the neighbours that you have grown to love the jungle environment.
++++++++++
LOL. It’s a bit feral even when it’s tamed anyway Pepe.
Might just let it run back to nature.Trouble is, that starts with lantana and other weeds. Be a mess in no time.

Jeez Longy what will you do for the rest of the day ;)

+++++++++++
G’day Hopper. Oh i won’t get half that stuff done. It’s just my current list. In its abbreviated form.
Easier to go fishing but i’ll get a few things done.
I’m having a blue with the youngfella and his Mrs too so i might just go over and flog the crap out of the pair of them with a dead fish instead. Make me feel better.

Anyway, i’m gone.
Seeyuz.

Yep sounds like a plan Longy—and the fishing sounds like the way to go

Back – think ill mow the grass today.

very quite here now.

Morning from sunny Q’ld. Not quite so hot today.

I have bought a smallish galvinised watering can to paint at art today. It’s been treated for rust and I have painted it gloss black for effect. What to put on it escapes me as yet. Thinking………..thinking……thinking.

I’ll let you know sometime.

veg gardener said:

font colour

To change the font colour you type COLOURED TEXT APPEARS HERE

There are many colour names you can use and there are also numerical values which are assigned to different colours. For example, the colour blue can be written using it’s name (blue) or it’s numerical value (#0000ff).
So if I wanted to start writing in blue I would type
BLUE TEXT OR BLUE TEXT
You can find a list of colours by number on this page and a list of colours by name on this page.
There are lots of different colours you can use. Play around and find what you like!.

Taking it really easy for the arvo.

Scenes from Star Wars.

Sorry Collie, I never thought of Star Wars. I have gone with a very handsome rooster and an Isa Brown hen. Very folksey. Bluddy awkward painting a watering can I can tell you.

A purple wattle isn’t very likely VG ;-) I think you’ll find they’re all yellow.

flowers aren’t yellow have a look in my photos.

Doesn’t BlueGreen have a rare red wattle?

I did until it turned up its toes :(

Wattle shrubs don’t last very long; couple of years. They’re good ‘fillers’. If you’re planting slower trees or shrubs you plant in between them with wattle shrubs. By the time your permenant plants are firmly established the wattles will be just about had it.

(popping in for a sec)…I was just being a pedant…I always spell it with a “z” and was surprised to find the English (not Yankee) spelling is with an “s”….

The Yanks are so hopeless with their English usuage (look at their current Pres)…their comedy shows work hard to be funny because of this, IMHO….

Poor Mrs Longy. Not even allowed to do a bit of fishing. She takes care of you and your home. Keeps the home fires burning while you fly here and there all over the place. You better make with a good Chrissy present this year.

a funny thing happened to me too. A friend and I have another mutual friend, only the 3 of us didn’t know that the other 2 even knew each other. They were discussing me , what do I look like ect and the mutual friend said “shes like greyhound who never stops running” The other lady said “oh gawd yes thats her alright “
LOL!

For years I worked with the sister of MrBL’s best mate. She was married so the names were different and I never realised until one day he turned up to see her and I thought he was there to see me.

I’d better not chip in to this thread – could take all night. In spite of being one of the least social people in Perth, I have an uncanny knack for having multiple cross-connections between friends, relatives, and relatives of friends. Also have some of those amusing stories about how the links were discovered :)

Morning Cackles and Veg

hello grassy.

How are you?

Good thanks Veg and what a perfect day it was yesterday

Good thanks Veg and what a perfect day it was yesterday

yes it was nice yesterday, well i wont be on tomorrow at all but hopefully friday night, Frist aid course tomorrow for sagala to become a leader and then i will be a mates house thursday night and thne it again friday and then home.

Morning all. Bit slow to get going this morning. Perfect garden weather though. 24°C max and the rain is going to hold off until tomorrow. Gives me the perfect chance to get my veg patch up to scratch.

Got a million and one other things I need to do as well – washing, scrub the shower, sort the mail, find a servicer for my sewing machine. The Man has two housework failings (only two ;-) He doesn’t see mould in the shower recess, and he can’t deal with mail.

There’s a month’s worth of paper sitting on the dining room table waiting for me. There doesn’t appear to be any logic as to what he looked at. He opened the bank statements but didn’t open the bills.

If I get off here now, I can spend 1/2 hour in the garden before taking the Girl to school. See you later.

they have school today what fun.

Morning All,
Just popped in quickly to read the posts. Now I have to do a lap of the garden before I’m off out again.
I have joined a social club which has almost daily activities. I’m not doing them all but trying to sort out what I want to do. It’s good, I hardly see people I know any more down here and I’m feeling the need of female company as well. Lunch out with them today.

hello o40

Morning all. Lazy day today after a couple of flat out days cleaning. Just about to gives the ducks a pondie and then settle in and do some knitting. Elf needs his jumper finished as he’s worn the sleeve out on his fav jumper. Then that old jumper can be pulled apart and reknitted into a vest for him.

Always something on the list to be done:)

I’m in for a long boring day methinks :(

and mowed and whipersniped yesterday

yeah, have a bit more to whippersnape but think its low on fuel spose i could do it till it runs out just around the dam where the grass is long.

What gets stuck in my craw is……

A child complains about the house not being up to scratch……. but won’t help.

I say……. if you want to help me for an hour or so to catch up on things around the house….GREAT.

But if not…. stop bitching and wait until its done. I have only 2 hands not 4 or 6.

This shuts them up.

still waiting for ducklings to hatch. I figure they should be out by the weekend because that will be 4 weeks from when we got back from Sydney. Mother duck is still stiing very tight. All I could see this morning was a head poking out from a pile of straw :)

well I’m back from a great weekend at the Odysse in Victor Harbor. Wet ride down and back but the days there were warm & sunny and great company. Can’tbeat the Ulysses club for a good time out with like minded people.

hey DL

Good morning afternoon :)

I had the greywater/retic man come out for the last site visit this morning, before they come to actually do the work (pending council approval).

He said if it was his garden… he would get a whole bunch of the sand collected up by a little digger and put in to the bottom of the vegie beds (they’re about 1m tall), and then get 2 trucks of proper soil brought in to go over the whole garden.

I managed not to faint instantly with the thought of it all. Explained my philosophy of tackling the garden 1 bit at a time – fruit trees first, then vegie beds, then I will add extra beds whenever I want to. I don’t have the mental energy to fix up the whole place, so all the “non-bed” bits of the garden will just get covered in wood chip mulch and weeded.

OH thinks I am a bit silly as it would only take 1 day for them to come and the sand moving and soil-placing – but my brain is already crowded with “go to dentist, get car fixed, get retic in, new hot water system, fix gutters, water tank, plan wedding, PV panels and most of all RECOVER”… I do NOT want to add anything to that list.

I have discovered in this last year that I have a fairly delicate constitution, so slowly does it is my motto now..

Arvo all.

that’s good VG. I’m getting regular eggs now too, but I have to hunt for half of them in the garden because they like to lay them behind the bushes. I am going to have to cook up some eggy dishes to use them up.

I once met someone I knew (another Aussie) walking down the street in Copenhagen. Niether of us knew the other was even over seas. And then to top it off I met him again in a laundrette in London.

Freaky.

Who remembers Rook, from the old GA?

He’s turned up on GE and I’ve given him this addy.

bubba louie said:

I think I vaguely do.. I have an atrocious memory though.

Golly, it’s nice having OH at home (working, theoretically) to deal with tradespeople. Apparently the electrician just rang to say he’s coming NOW, not Monday, so OH had to ring me to check what the electrician needs to do. It’ll be a bit harder for him, as we were going to put a gate in at the side of the house before he came – now he will have to squeeze down alongside the house instead. And we were going to clean the house up a bit to make accessing the problem powerpoints easier – stiff bikkies if you show up with no notice!

Oh, and the man from the council who deals with the greywater approval is coming on Monday to have a look around the yard and make sure everything is OK :):)

Oh goodie…. can you look into your crystal screen and see if it’ll rain on the weekend???

Early this winter I had bought a salad spinner and I am so enjoying the lettuce on my dinner plate. I can see it being used on a daily basis in the upcoming summer.

I never saw one in use until I was in Syd-knee.

see if it’ll rain on the weekend???
