    Good to see you @WonkyWomble. Won't be long till you see the fruits of your efforts  :)
    I just noticed a little terracotta pot of bulbs had been blown off the steps - fortunately it's fine. It landed on a tray of small plants  :D
    Think the wee birds will be struggling out there again today. They'll need plenty of bounce in their bungees....
    I'm not sure about my tree this year @Lyn. I was going to use the potted one I got this year, but it's not very big.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
  • Good to see you @WonkyWomble :smiley:

    Glad you've managed to wrangle a little 'me time' .... and I promise not to visit until I've got rid of these germs :wink:  It does seem that as soon as you take pity on a cat in your shed and let it into the house, another one moves into the shed :lol:  Someone must be spreading the word :astonished:

    Morning all, especially nice to see you @WonkyWomble. You crazy whippersnapper. X

    Hello @WonkyWomble, it's good news for your business that you've been busy, busy but hopefully you will get time to slow down a bit. I'm so slow, I'm almost horizontal! Just going to finish my coffee then I've got a big front door trough to fill. I think the vine weevil grubs are no more.

    You sound bad @Dovefromabove, hope you get better soon.

    Morning all/afties Pat. Those fires are hideous around Sydney. Very depressing for people down there.


    Littlest chicklet sent this photo of the beach on Friday ......no filter 😱😳

    Hi everyone. We are in a motel in Canberra tonight, preparing for yet another visit to one of Hubby’s specialists tomorrow. 😡. Getting fed up with it all. 

    Thanks for the photo, Chicky.The smoke is the same down here and it was at home both last night and when we left this morning. Tomorrow is expected to be bad with higher temps and more smoke coming back from the fires. The one between Batemans Bay and Ulladulla is shocking as well as the one between Canberra and Braidwood. Hubby says he wouldn’t be surprised to see them join up. I hope not. 
    It’s a bit weird for me, Dad was born in Braidwood and I was born in Ulladulla. So I’ve been taking an interest in both of them. 
    Hubby and our fire captain went for a drive yesterday to check on the fire that was down the end of our valley.  They saw an echidna feasting on an ant nest as well as a lyrebird fluffing his feathers at then. So some things survived. 
    I’ll put a photo on in a minute when I transfer it to my iPad.

    Sorry, just read back. Hi there Wonky!  Good to see you. I’m glad your business is going well. Hi to everyone else I’ve missed. I’m a bit out of kilter with bing away from home.

    I remember that drive from Ulladulla to Bateman's Bay and then up to Braidwood @Pat E.  Lots of trees and tree ferns, presumably teaming with wildlife.  Shocking to think of it all going up in smoke.

    It is very wet herebut not very windy.   Good job I have so many things to do indoors.

    Great to have your news @WonkyWomble.  Good luck with the cat, hedgepigs and plant shuffles.

    I'm feeling better for slurping that tonic version of the cough medicine @Dovefromabove.  Hope it's helping you too.   I expect it would help ease your gall stones too @Hostafan1.  Cider vinegar in water is supposed help but sounds alot less palatable.

    Hugs to all with lurgies or poorly bits of folks they're worrying about.   Stay safe, whatever the weather.
