Winning on a Thorsday morning as the sun starts to rise.

Though I'm not so sure that I'm ready for another 2hrs of mowing today after doing that for the last 3 days.

Anyhow it's time for another coffee.

Cheers.

The weather is not cooperating. It was forecast to be warm all week. The sky is crying and it's barely 60f.

So there was a very good reason behind it being a two-man lift/manoeuver Martin. :-)

Well I just finished my morning yard inspection and veggie watering (boy are those capsicums thirsty buggers) and while the dew isn't so bad this morning lugging 4 x 9L watering can loads around the yard I'm certainly going to give pushing the mower around today a miss. I'll finish the line trimming out in the laneway and then I reckon that I'll just do a bit of pruning instead, which will make that next mowing session much easier.

Anyhow it's time for another coffee before I hit that laneway.

Cheers.

Yes, the gigglers removed the rest of the bolts and two of us got the thing out of the way.

Really appreciating being back in Civilisation. Good to have a good well known group and with the right skills/tools. Makes a big difference. No sign of the feral hound yet.

And... In the dampness, it's gone strangely warm and we already have mosquitoes!! At this time of year!!!

... I'm suspicious there's an equipment warmed pool of water somewhere...

Ouch!

After 2 goes with the rechargeable line trimmer (about 40mins runtime per charge) out in the laneway and 2 hours of pruning back a climbing rose (a yellow Lady Banks) so that now I can again walk under and around it without ducking and my back boundary line and the drain can be seen again. I also got my side of the drain trimmed down low enough for the mower to handle, but the mower will not be seeing the other side of the drain as the council has spread rocks and stones through the grass there so I'll just line trim that side that side and I may do that this evening just before sunset or in the morning depend on how I feel then.

Anyhow it's time for a few beers now. :-D

Cheers.

Wiggo, just be sure you are wearing chaps ad boots if your are using a string trimmer near rocks. They can do some real damage when they go flying.

Rocks and debris are not the only problem. I once found two nests of ground wasps. I didn’t see them coming until after they gave my legs a few jabs. Later with 3 liters of kerosene and a couple of matches. The problem disappeared.

S/s shirt, shorts and Japanese safety boots Gary. ;-)

But I wasn't going down far enough to find them, though I have left a 4-5" tall grass hedge along there (that may get higher over time). :-D

We only have to worry about Eastern Browns, King Browns and Red Bellied Blacks (though the later arn't always black with a red belly) to worry about when working around these drains. ;-(

Anyhow I'd better a feed in of some sort.

BTW, we could only make it to 25C (felt like 24C) here, but I didn't miss the 27C that was forecasted.

Cheers.

A cloudy mix here 12C.

Yay! Misty sunshine...

As I go ongoing into strange places where the sun is a mere few pin pricks of hopeful light...

Hopefully, the feral hound is enjoying the mild weather and sunshine!

43f and partially cloudy. Looks mostly dry. So much for the storm starting at 3 this morning. Forecasts are really wonky lately.

35f, 100% humidity and the light snow has stopped. Power was down for about 5 hrs last night. Crunhing stopped and ofcourse the heat pump stopped so I woke up to a cold house.

Winning on a Good Friday morning.

We got off to a 16C (felt like 15C) start with 24C being expected, but the race could be on between the mower and the weather this morning.

Anyhow it's time for a coffee,

Cheers.

Friday morning win.

Thinking about a marathon power nap.

Off to have some fasting lab tests.

Winning on a Saturday morning while waiting for that glow to start in the east as I enjoy a coffee.

Well after the last 5 days and 28 very heavy catcher loads of cut wet grass I'm at least having today off, if not the whole weekend, but the yard does look good now.

Cheers.

And we've had a beautiful Springtime day.

... Still quite chilly for the night.

And I'm rejuvenating from two days of a humdrum tedious install/upgrade that was made overly difficult and tedious due to physically restricted access at every move and every step. There's still a bit of tidy-up to do.

Unfortunately... So far... The initial tests are ok for working but rather mediocre overall... Not as expected and not as hoped for for seeing a noticeable improvement.

There is some other aspect at play...

'Twill be revisited soon in the coming weeks...


(And I'm strongly reminded for how well a bit of Civilisation and Education works wonders for better working. Especially for clearer and easier communicating rather than stumbling into sullen pride for anything 'new'... Very good to be able to enjoy the people around you!)

I must of hit a wrong button somehow. :-D

After a morning of doing dishes, a load of washing and hanging it out while topping off my wicking tubs it was time for a Saturday LLB and a feed so I'm now ready for a spinal reset.

We kicked off here at 15C (while 26C is expected) and currently we're at a breezy and steamy 25C (feels like 24C).

And everyone might as well have a beer on me seeing as I've already had a few. ;-)

Cheers.
