Whatever comes to mind I can’t think of a category for… or can’t be faffed making one for.
Today I’d intended to spend all day working on the inside of the house starting to clean in ready for the arrival of the rellies. Unfortunately things never go exactly as planned and I have to go for a blood test first. This one requires ‘fasting’ for 12 hours so right now I’m really hungry. … More Tasks ahead?
Well inside is a tip. Outside is looking a little better… as it should be after the time I’ve spent out there! I had to mow the lawns again yesterday despite having only mowed it last weekend! Seems bizarre really… you feed and water it, then cut it short. May just as well leave it … More And our house?
Up to the Guide Hut early yesterday morning to do more watering of the turf. I realised when I’d finished that the hut isn’t inside the recycling are so was subject to water restrictions. This meant getting there much earlier. Had spent an hour and a half there pouring water in all directions when a … More Water, water everywhere.
The daughter has her ‘Year 6 Formal’ coming up. To me this seems like a blatant money grab by the school. There isn’t a ‘dance’ for them… just an evening out with their parents – seriously! What’s worse is that the cost is $85 per parent and $45 for the child. So just to go … More Formally miffed.
A main effect of the little white pills is elevated metabolism… and enhanced wakefulness which is why I take them. The downside of the pills is that in the begginning they *do* tend to keep me awake at night. Not that I’m complaining as such, even though I’m sort of sleepy… I’m just not sleeping. … More Hardly any sleep.
As you see in the comments, the sister kindly passed on a url with “15 Things to do with Rosemary” so I had a butchers hook and saw most are suggestions for use with food… as you’d expect… but you’d have to use it pretty sparingly for some ideas. It’s such a strong flavoured herb … More More with Rosemary
I might have mentioned this before… several hundred times… but I often wonder if the gods are just using me to have a laugh. After two hours watering the new turf up at the Guide Hall this morning I was feeling quite pleased with myself. The temperatures in the early afternoon were above 34ºC and … More Typical.
Remember the 15th November is Steve Irwin Day. I hope you’ll all be donning khaki, leaping about and shouting WOW!!! and CRIKEY!!! at all and sundry… … and of course doing your best to do something *meaningful* towards saving Australia’s wildlife… or if you’re outside Oz… maybe even saving the planet??

The Guide Hall has been having a revamp over recent months. Floors are polished, walls painted, windows re-glazed and given new curtains and a new kitchen and storage area is on the way. Outside lots of undergrowth has been removed, some gardens planted, a flagpole raised and a fire pit dug. As a part of … More Water, water everywhere!
Despite having a mass of things that need doing, and no time in which to do them it’s been pretty quiet here for the past couple of days. The wife has been home because we went to the school twice about the eldest daughters transition to high school next year, but otherwise it’s been quiet. … More Dum di dum di dum
