Was it something you ate?

So a tornado today was over the area my sister lives... this damaged home was 3 houses from theirs .

I am not entire sure I would have used the word damaged - it looks destroyed to me...

It's just getting light on a chilly Sunday morning here in sleepy Greenock.

It looks like a clear day. We actually had some sort of clear liquid falling from the sky over the past two days, I am told it's called "rain". About two and a half millimetres (7 points), so not much but it more than ...

Good evening!
Sprinkler system installed and ready to use. We can control it by an app on our phones. We’ve got 4 zones. 2 will go for 12 mins; 1 for 5 and 1 for 6. On at 3 am every Monday Wednesday and Friday.

I went to yoga and then back to the library for a craft class new made 4” diameter ...

Mimosas have never really been the drink du jour around here.

Sparkling Shiraz is the go to breakfast tipple in the Barossa Valley. It is also known as Barossa Berocca, fixes hangovers lickity-split!

Why were you looking so closely at teenage girls?

(A rhetorical question really)

Well, FriYay! is here in the Land Downunder.

We're still a bit limited in our socialising, however Mrs Rabz's foot rehab is going OK. She is now allowed to do short walks outside the house.

It was both of our birthdays last week and on Toni's birthday, a few of "the girls" decided to show up and ...

Hi All,

The remnant summer veggies are out and in the compost. The 40 or 50 self sown marigold plants are in the green bin.

The mallow weed and stinging nettles have been introduced to "Mr Glyphosate". 8)

In about 10 days it'll be time to add a whole bunch of compost and moo poo. :D

Then the ...

WOW! Now THAT'S a BEER!!
Three pints? I'd need to be wheeled home after that!

It took some effort....

And Happy Birthday to Rabbitz! [smilie=party.gif] even though by now it is probably over down there! :oops:



Thanks.

I had a great day.

The day started with fixing the submersible pump on one of the water tanks, then off to lunch with some friends (a fine steak and a bottle of old vine ...

We picked our olives, in the rain, today.
Curious - what type/color olives are these?


That is a very good question. We inherited the olives when we moved in, so are not sure.

The majority appear to be Kalimata, but we have a couple of (very large and old) trees that are both different and ...

We picked our olives, in the rain, today.

This year was the turn of the younger trees (olives generally fruit properly every second year).

These trees are less than five years old.

We got between 70 and 80 kilograms (155 to 175lbs). The harvesters were very pleased with the haul.

I don't know ...

Pffft.

Today is a workshop day.

Building a new radio rack for my new radio.

I cannot believe how many times I have taken chunks out of my hands today. Clearly I am getting soft in retirement!

Anyways, waiting on the glue to dry before I can go any further.

It is wonderful to know that other countries have a sense of human dignity. I hope your drink of choice was wonderful.

Thanks.

We had some neighbours drop by, it was a really nice afternoon. A few drinks, a few nibbles and some pleasant conversation.

All on a warm and sunny autumn afternoon.

Yesterday was a federal election here in Oz.

The election campaign was awful. In the end the party that chose to base its campaign on fear and racism lost out badly. Very badly. Existentially badly.

I am quite pleased to be an Australian today.

We still have a lot to drink about, yet there is ...

Mayday Mayday Mayday

This is Red Leader

We've lost both engines.

Mayday Mayday Mayday

(Sorry I couldn't resist!)

Happy Birthday Mel!

For the first time in over a month I am get out to the archery range today.

Since Mrs Rabz had her foot surgery, I haven't be able to get out there. She is now mobile on her own (well sort of) so I feel I can disappear for a few hours.

I hope I can remember what to do!

Living in the skin cancer capital of the world, I am pleased to see that my American phriends are getting the message.

It's sad when you consider the trigger for this new appreciation.

As we say here in Oz:

Slip!
Slap!
Slop!

Slip on a shirt;
Slap on a hat; and
Slop on some sunscreen!

Oh and an ...

I had a couple of things to do this afternoon and I just got home. As I was pulling into the parking lot one of my neighbors was walking away from the mailbox with a couple of pieces of mail in her hand. I got out of my car and checked my mailbox, no mail for the 4th day in a row, not even a piece ...
