Morning all. Not long woken up. Still a bit dopey. (8am) I can hear son and cats moving around in kitchen area, so I had better get the arms and legs moving soon. Not that he worries, but I feel a but antisocial if I don't make the effort to say hello.
the cats have been very entertaining. In Canberra they never go outside, but here they are allowed a morning wander and really love it. In the afternoon, when the sun is hitting the concrete on the back verandah and the Cunninghams Skinks arrive for their chopped carrot, the cats are glued to the window watching the activities. It's a good interesting change for them.
About 8-10"" long I suppose. I haven't touched them, they are very shy. But, when they arrive, and we take some carrot out for them, they hide under the freezer until we go back inside, them they come out and wolf the carrot down. It's become a bit of a ritual. The cats are fascinated. I don't let the cats out though. They would probably sink a claw into an eye or worse.
Not just me then with tomatoes thought I should like tomatoes as I like ketch up and tomatoes must be in it somehow, have with chips or burger
LesleyK that is about right tastes are weird/ strange
Spent the day sorting out some gardening at the station clearing an area near the top of the slope entrance bit - digging and sowing wild flower seeds also cutting the grass with the push mower near our grit/sand tool box
Very hot outside today, but transplanted two tomatoes plants that were not going to stay in their pots for much longer. It'll be interesting to see how they take being disturbed.
Good morning all G'day Pat I've just been googling Cunningham's Skinks - what fascinating creatures - living in family groups, monogamous - somehow I don't expect that sort of behaviour from reptiles http://australianmuseum.net.au/cunninghams-skink
OH likes chocolate but not chocolate cake. I don't like chocolate ice cream and the only chocolate cake I like are the gooey ones that are made without flour. Wonky doesn't like celery or green peppers. When she and her brother were youngsters one of them would only eat the yolk of an egg and the other would only eat the white, but I could never remember which one liked which so if it was 'Full English' for breakfast, I'd put one fried egg on the table and they'd have to sort it out between them - couldn't be doing with fussy

night all
I to love chocolate but hate chocolate cake, and don't even start me on chocolate ice cream
I love beer, I love wine, I love whisky [ and gin ] but, I hate celery, most lettuce and pumpkin.!
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
if the choice was celery or beer, no choice
