Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!
Had a detailed search of the fruit trees, not one cherry, a few plumbs, a few peaches and same with the apples. Raspberries 1 crop is doing ok but the boysenberries are not showing and by now they should be ready a Xmas. What am I doing wrong, even the peas have flunked.
Have you tried the "Lemon Tree" solution?
Regards & God bless,

Dot, our citrus trees are all covered in stink bugs, so no limes n lemons this year here. I really do think that a lot of it has to do with the weird weather that we are having. xxxx
Lucky you all for missing the storms. Yesterday was 42 for most of the afternoon and then all hell let loose. We had a huge storm, heavy winds and lightning but not a lot of real rain. The lightning lasted most of the night, hence my computer not being turned on. It was great to watch it from behind the glass windows. Most of the serious damage was done around The Entrance, with roofs and trees being blown away. We were lucky to miss the worst of the storm, but could have used some more rain. Today was meant to get down to 24, was closer 34 for most of the day.
I had some smashing hammer therapy this afternoon. I made a piece a while back, for the house, but I didn't like the way it was sitting. Today seemed like just as good as any. So I smashed the bottom lumpy bits off and have them firing away tonight to return to being a smoother blob. Hopefully tomorrow, it will get another shaping firing. The top bits that I am happy with, will get positioned on top of the new blob and refried.
Did absolutely nothing today. The garden man rang today to say his worker rang in sick so maybe tomorrow ?? lots of thunder and rain earlier but just drizzle right now. Cut Brians nails and did mine as well. Got what I thought was pork fillets out of the freezer but when it thawed out it was Brians roo food hmm so for tea tonight we had egg and chips. Rang my NZ mate she has appointment to see the Cardiac man on the 22nd Dec. Had to physically pussy handle Brian and took him outside, he didn't like the weather but he stayed out for a few minutes. I couldn't get into here last night so after 3 tries I gave up and went to bed. Here is the first ever flower from my first Hoya smells divine. OK hope everyone on the sickie list is improving and travelers are taking things careful in this weather. Goodnight everyone x Goodnight Annette n Darryl x

Your Hoya is lovely Dot. I have killed a few of them. Hot weather calls for rest days too. Hope your Kiwi mate is OK. xxxx
Been so hot, that not much is happening here. The glass that went back to be refried has come up not looking as good as planned. So it's getting a flattening again tonight, to start again tomorrow. Today was a smash up day, to get the crappy piece back to small pieces and much of those pieces are getting flattened tonight to be added to the mold again tomorrow. I am not in a rush, so it can have as many refires as it needs until I am really happy with it.
The rest of the day has been spent trying to sort through all of the crap that LG are demanding to see before they will give me a refund for their faulty battery. Truly, my filing system is great (ish) but some of the things that they expect me to send to them are ridiculous. When we were buying the system, our installer sent me an email listing a few prices of batteries and inverters and once we had decided which ones to buy, all of his paperwork just has the full total cost and no itemised accounts were ever issued. I had to ask the installer to go back and rewrite the accounts. This is becoming a horrible joke. LG are asking the same questions every time and then adding more to make it impossible. They have asked for our address so many times, it is beyond a joke. We have seen adds on TV daily for their battery recall. This must be costing them a bomb. I just hope to have our refund in order, before they go bankrupt. I suspect that may be why the super annoying stalling tactics. They sold us a crap battery, it's under warranty and now they should just pull their cheque book out and pay up.
Seems nearly all businesses are rather shonky these days, we have been expecting some sort of news from the sheriff re the roof man one way or another so just wait and see George went to the dentist this arvo and AJ came around for her de dirtying as she calls the shower. We are taking her to the dentist on Thursday, she is having those screw in teeth, gee they are expensive little brutes, hope they don't look all horsey, Hope Shirley remembered how to chuck those fancy balls main thing is to enjoy the game. Hope the garden man can get to clean all the pavers before too long, this time they will be hot cleaned re sanded and also sealed. I am going to do the "boy thing" on the lemon tree and if there is a flash now and again but I think the lemon tree is ok now after heaps of rain and seasol and a spray of something. Raining again and time for bed, off to town tomorrow for my surprise Goodnight everyone x Goodnight Wayno x

Dot, you can leave the pee treatment for Mr Gman to do. It doesn't need a really huge amount. You don't want to risk being bitten on the bum by any weird insect mate xxxx
Had a super busy day here. Started on the annual biscuit baking. So far I have done about half of them. Once that lot were cooked and the kitchen found again, I returned to my shed. The structure is now back being turned into a sculpture again. It is getting to be a very heavy piece as I add more bits every time it gets fired. Tomorrow I will know if this is the final firing or if it needs more reincarnating.
It's going to be another super hot day tomorrow, so maybe the baking will need to be done early and with the air conditioner turned on early.
Deborah there is no way Gman would pee anywhere than a toilet, On the other hand I have no worries about dropping my bloomers anywhere. Chuck and Norman are the ones to beat at this "sport' Talk about completive . We are taking AJ to her dentist in the morning then picking up the dog from next door to where she did live and taking it to her new place, she has it for a month. Cant wait to see the finished blob. I am going to have a go at making shortbread for Xmas not holding out much hope for a great success. Better hit the sack, washing done and hung out. Stay safe everyone. Goodnight everyone x Goodnight Chuck x
