Good morning, not sure what kind of day we in for here
Clari glad you enjoyed your pie, thanks to you so did we!
sorry for everyone still poorly, Joyce are you better?
Pat we read about the New Zealand fires, I know Christchurch and I know Hawkes Bay, so sorry for them. We were caught in a big bushfire in 1983 in Victoria. I will never forget it.
stay safe everyone.

No fires near us at the moment thank goodness Although Hubby received a phone call this afternoon asking him to adjust the sign board at the entrance to the village to notify everyone that we are now under a 'Total Fire Ban'. He has a key to unlock the padlock on the signboard. We had another hot day today.
i decided to go to town but couldn't be bothered changing clothes, so into town in shorts, sleeveless top and Scholl sandals. No one turned a hair at this old girl (76) shopping in Aldi and Woolworths dressed like that.. I might add that I wasn't the only one, but probably the oldest.
9.8C already and sunny now the mist has cleared. Just waiting for the dew to burn off and then I'm out with my trusty sprayer to kill the donkey field. Don't like using chemicals but digging and removing all roots by hand is nit an option here. Should be a one-off if all goes to plan.
I need to know what brand of nail varnish they used on Rasta as it's still there despite long walks and lots of play. Mine never lasts thru that sort of trial.
I think our bedroom is on the wrong side of the house for a dawn chorus but we also have roll down shutters which may be blocking it. Plenty of birds come to the feeders now but only sparrows, assorted tits, chaffinches and robins. We get blackbirds, buzzards and magpies elsewhere but not up close on the feeders. I hope we'll get woodpeckers again and then swifts and swallows and house-martins later on.
I have now tried 5 garden centres for fat blocks with insects and none in stock. I sthere a shortage of insects? On the other hand I have found "clean" sunflower seed which they love.
Mimosas coming into full flower now. I shall cut some for the house.
Well done for Waitrose Hosta - our favourite when we're in the UK.
Dove - I find knitting complicated enough but last night I had a dog on my lap and two kittens hovering. Impossible.
Pat - I hope you and yours are all safe from fires. Such devastation is dreadful for those affected and all the wildlife.
Courage to all the lurgy sufferers.

Please excuse me for not recalling details of posts, I'm only just making second coffee. Just back from taking OH to work, (to the job I love that I got made redundant from a two tweaks ago) after OH crashed the car into someone last night. He's OK thankfully as is the other chap, but heck! We could do without this right now! If anyone catches life trying to dump another load on us, could I get a headsup please and I'll get an umbrella!
Sorry to moan lovelies...been wearing a mask and its tiring!
Just read a bit of that newspaper report Hosta. Interesting how the churches are still hanging out. The ACT govt is reported to be planning to legalise samesex marriage in that Territory, so I'll be watching to see if they succeed. Not sure how it would work though as it's the smallest State/Territory in Australia, so can they do it or not? It obviously will take time.

Morning all and afternoon Pat.
GWRS, hope you're having lots of rest and feel better soon.
LP, I'm fine now thanks apart from a cough. I think Dove and BL had a lingering cough too if I remember.
Hosta, the dawn chorus is becoming much louder now.
A bit dull and chilly but I need to get out and do a few things in the garden.

Thanks for good wishes about fires folks.We're OK.
Wonky, so sorry to hear you're no longer in that job. I hope you can find something soon,
