Yawn yawn, wakey wakey summer (or is it) 2017

Good day everyone
@wiseowl I hope all goes well today with your drive and your daughter's consultation.

@shiney & @moyra we don't have travellers here. There aren't any places where people can "squat" without being moved along quickly. Instead, we find that transients live on the streets and government handouts. Not much appreciated.

I am looking forward to a sunny day today. I have lots of dead heading to do and tidying. Got lots of little roma tomatoes yesterday so I can make bruschetta for supper. I made the baguettes yesterday so it will be easy peasy.

I also need to start working on my son's new website. I've only got the bare bones of it together. Need to add lots of links and things. I would like to get on with experimenting on a set up where we can make quick little films of the lures spinning under water. I've got an extra pump so I'm already part way there

And the best part of the day - our local grocer is selling off his remaining potting soil - 50L for $3.94 - that is about 2.4 of your pounds. My younger son has my van so I figure with a nice sunny day, I can put the top down on my car and load her up Really looking forward to that

I hope everyone here has a super day and play safe please

 

Morning early people

Raining here already.

Havea good day everyone

 

Good morning all.
Have as good day, stay warm and dry and above all safe and well. God bless.

 

Good day everyone
We are going to have another lovely sunny day. I was very pleased with what I accomplished during yesterday's sunny day and am looking forward to another productive day

I need to somehow get into my tomato area and stake some of them. They are collapsing and need some sort of support. Hopefully I'll find that the cause is the weight of the fruit

We could use some of the rain happening over there but since none is guessed to be coming for the near future. Hmmm, think I'll turn the main lawn sprinkler back on for a few days

I hope everyone has a good day and plays safe - I plan to

 

Good afternoon fellow WW'ers

I think the last time I posted it was the day Ozzy began hydrotherapy. I tried to take some photo's but the atmosphere was so humid that the camera simply misted up. He was quite confused by the adventure and the workout left him quite tired.
He entered the tank quite perky and wasn't too put out when the door was closed behind him. The sensation of the rising water did cause him to look a bit confused and at one point he though it was just one large drinking bowl When the treadmill started, he did the absolute classic: he didn't move and then his rump ended up gently butting against the door That was when he realised he was meant to walk
Below is the moment the tank was filling and he wasn't too sure what to do about the water, so decided to have a little taste Dreadful photo, but with the misting etc it was the only one I got.



He had another tank therapy yesterday and tomorrow he is off for another session. Yesterday's session wasn't quite so good. He whined, whimpered and tried desperately to get out of the tank - I'm guessing it is because it is painful for him (as well as strange). Seems for each minute he exercises in the tank equates to 12 minutes of walking out of it. His session yesterday was 4 minutes duration, spread over 3 bouts, so equivalent to a 48 minute walk. Quite a step up from the 10 minute restricted walks he's been on for the past couple of months.

The biggest shocker on that first occasion was when it came to drying him. They use a machine called a "Blaster". Now, I groom him regularly - with his double coat, it is essential - but, you would be forgiven for thinking he has never been groomed in his life! The sheer volume of undercoat and dander which flew out of his coat under the blaster was astonishing! One of the young ladies was so covered in it, she looked like a furry snowman! Not quite as much came out yesterday and I'm optimistic it will be a reduced amount tomorrow, but it just goes to show that grooming alone does not get anywhere near tackling the shedding! Thinking of investing in a Blaster for home use on him

Smiles and vibes for all xxMxx

 

@"M" I could use one of those blasters - nail down everything in the house and just blow the dust out the windows!

On a serious note, I do hope this therapy is helping him.

 

Good morning everyone,
Have a good day all, stay warm and dry and above all safe and well. God bless.

 

Good day everyone
We seem to be in for another sunny day however the guessers have hinted at rain later on. I hope they are correct. We need some free water.

I had a productive day yesterday. Got a lot of deadheading done and then got the ladder out and tracked down where a dc power line connection had come loose. So happy to just be able to "plug" it back together instead of having to string new wire. Now all of the fans are operating on their schedules again and the air is circulating around the plants. The overhead ones move a lot of air and it almost looks like a mini typhoon in there when they run (5 minutes on each 1/2 hour)

I have another busy day of taking care of family errands. I sometimes border on resenting being the dog's body but then I remind myself that I am lucky to have the time to do it

See you all in the forums. Play safe please!
