      Aloha everyone,

      According to our local weather map it's raining heavily here. They obviously haven't looked out our window! Send it over @wiseowl :blue thumb:

      Michael turned up, in his truck :dbgrtmb:, at 10.10 a.m. (early for him) and at 11 a.m. told us he had just received a call from his cousin saying he needs help to finish a couple of jobs he's doing! :doh: He'd already done a two of the jobs we'd set him - digging out a 40+ year old shrub with roots down to Australia and shaping a very large Choisyia (8ft high & 5ft diameter), and was working on shaping one of the conifers (big job). I said he could go as long as he finishes the conifer first. His cousin came along to give him a hand and it was done by 11.40 (two 8ft hedgecutters make for a quicker job :)). We've not paid him yet (he said he would be back as soon as possible to do the other two conifers).

      I'm working hard on the publicity for the course I'm running and the tournament I'm running. It's tough going!

      @Zigs I've had three MV payouts (I think - or was it two :scratch:) already with another 1,800+ points pending. :thumbsup:

      Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

      Aloha!

          Thanks @wiseowl As I don't expect it to break any speed laws, I'll check a bit later. :dbgrtmb:

          I hope you didn't tell it to use the tunnel or the QEII bridge. They're very busy at the moment. :noidea:

                  Morning all! Hope you are all doing well this morning.

                  The past couple of days have had a small bit of a chill in the air. Feels like Autumn is coming early.

                  @wiseowl hope you are having a nice walk!
                  @moyra have a safe and warm day to you too!

                    Good day everyone
                    Sorry to have been MIA the last few days but I have been ultra busy. Yesterday I started on my to do and work lists at 5 and finally finished last night at 9. Kinda pooped but am glad at what I've gotten accomplished. :)

                    We seem to have gotten badly needed rain last night and I had left the sprinkler system turned on so now the gardens are getting a double dose of water because I am too lazy to shinny around the car in the garage to get to the controller and turn it off. :rolleyespink:

                    It promises to be a cool day but we have been advised by the guessers that the summer type weather may stretch a little longer this year. And I will love that because it is typically so pleasant in late summer here :biggrin:

                    I got lots of bits and pieces to do around here today but luckily it is all work with no nasty tension/pressure.

                    I hope everyone here has as pleasant a day as I am planning. And please play safe :snorky:

                      Aloha everyone,

                      A bit late on here as things sort of caught up on me. :doh: Non-stop phone calls coming in for two hours, then off out shopping and having a haircut, then more phone calls. I'm just going out to pick beans and pears. Then a curry to cook.

                      A beautiful warm and sunny day but not too hot. Just how I like it. :hapydancsmil:

                      Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                      Aloha!

                          Aloha everone,

                          It was still dark here at 6.15 :rolleyespink: but nice and sunny now. So it's going to be a hot day after a rather cool night.

                          I'm gradually catching up on things :phew: but my desk still looks as though a bomb has hit it. :heehee:

                          Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                          Aloha!

                              Good morning all,
                              Walked Amber and she played with her friend Annie who pinched both of her tennis balls. Annie gets through them with so much pressure. she is a bull mastiff and so she has such strong jaws. Amber loves her and they both adore each other.
                              Have a great day everyone, stay safe and well and enjoy yourselves. God bless. :wub2:

                                Good day everyone
                                We are looking at another cool dry day. Got the bed linens in the washer and they will dry very nicely on the lines today :)

                                Having an issue with the electric fence so will fiddle with that. I also have to take my van into the garage - there is a nasty humming at the rear end and I'm dreading what that will cost to fix. :sad:

                                I hope you all have a good day and play safe please !
