      Aloha everyone,

      @moyra they're showing the rain getting here about 10 a.m. I won't hold my breathe! Got the sprinkler on the veggies.

      Did my gardening at 5 a.m. for a couple of hours.

      Sarafi brought us a squirrel yesterday. Good boy :pathd:

      Have a great day :biggrin:

      Aloha!

        Good day everyone
        It is lovely here. We are enjoying temperatures in the 70's and low 80's during the day and 20 degree dips overnight which is lovely for sleeping :)

        It it rather cloudy at the moment and we are promised some rain so I have decided to do some wage earning work inside while I wait for the skies to clear.

        I have always been an opportunist (inside work on rainy days/outside playing on the sunny ones) and an optimist and luckily able to get over disappointments quickly, which is a requirement when you have the caliber of weather guessers we have over here :rolleyespink:

        Play safe and for heavens sake, Play!

            Aloha everyone,

            I started work in the garden at 4.30 a.m. but didn't get a great deal done. :sad: I'll be able to carry on with the mowing when I've bought more petrol but I'm giving the weeding a rest for a couple of days as the arthritis in my thumbs is telling me that I've done enough weeding for now.

            We have students on Saturday and Sunday so I'll do the shopping for that at midnight tonight - on the way back from bridge.

            Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

            Aloha!

                  Good day everyone
                  @moyra I hope your day goes along better than your night did. @wiseowl I'm glad to hear all is in order and calm in your nest @shiney you're making me tired and it's only just 7:14 here! @Zigs, money in is always nice and getting paid to do things we enjoy is a bonus.

                  We had torrential rains last night. Free water :hapfeet:Free water! You'd think water would be cheap given the size of our great lakes but no, it is not so a good rain to feed the lawns and gardens and fill the rain barrels is wonderful :) The sad part is that the neighbour south of us is continually draining these great lakes to water the lawns of Kentucky and other areas and then they allow a great deal of pollutants to enter the system to make things even nastier. We spend a lot of money on environmental work to offset these abuses and that is a little annoying..but you the water this side is lovely for swimming and drinking :)

                  I am going to get all of the housework, which does not involve use of electricity, done today. Guess I'd better get on with swabbing the decks :)

                  Play safe please!:biggrin:

                      Bit knackered from work :snooze: Got to do it all again next week :doh:Only the top coat to go on now :phew:

                        Aloha everyone,

                        Had a busy morning. Mowed the front lawns early, before the students turned up. Dealt with the finance and publicity of a tournament I'm organising and now have to start on cooking lunch for the students.

                        Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                        Aloha!

                            Good day everyone
                            It is off peak rates for electricity use today so I am going to be using the central vacuum system to suck the dust out of this house :)

                            This afternoon I hope to be weeding and later this afternoon I'm off to a place about an hour from here to attend a 60th birthday party. There will be a pig roast there to celebrate the occasion. I have not been there before and will probably only stay until about 8ish which will allow me to navigate back to familiar roads before the sun sets. Should be a fun shindig. :)

                            Play safe everyone :)
