Last Notes npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans I meant to go to the movies to see that & left it too late 😑. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans We need journalists to do their jobs now, not just in the election year #AusPol npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans All jobs done. Trackie dacks are on, I’m nice & warm & ready to settle in for some binge watching of something - I don’t know what, but I haven’t finished with Britannia yet. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Good morning tooters. Not as cold as forecast last night & it was almost 5c when I got up. It’s supposed to get to 14c, so not exactly warm but not exactly very cold either - unless there’s wind, then it’ll be cold 😝. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Playing for Change with Riders on the Storm by The Doors. I like 😃. #Music npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Haha Rosie knows exactly what she wants. You might have to invest in a woolly jumper or two for her. It has been a pretty cold day here too. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Good morning tooters. We have sunshine & its beautiful even if it’s only 6c & so far a clear blue sky as well. Only getting to 14c but that’s fine if there’s some sun around.m npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Well done to us 😃 #AusPol - but more please & help for renters & those of us in social housing! npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans G’day tooters - I’m back & have dealt with how I was feeling & my head is in a much better place now although I’m sad that it happened. Thank you to everyone that supported me either with public or private mentions. The support & msgs I received showed me that I have quite a number of friends here & that makes me very thankful to you all ☺️ & yes I did use the block. #Friends #Support #MH npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Meet the whingers #AusPol. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans That’s fabulous Caity, everything looks great. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Very pleased to hear the hanging day went well (why am I thinking of nooses) 😬. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans She has such a pretty face. Lovely pictures Peter. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Paul Keating always states it so clearly. #AusPol npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans That is just stunning. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans I’m hopeless with these things. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Good morning tooters. I’m still in my dressing gown 😬 - it is Saturday morning though. It was supposed to get down to 3c last night & it was fairly chilly when I got up with quite a lot of fog around which made everything seem very eerie, I loved it. The sun is out now though & the sky is clear blue. Today it’s going to reach a lovely 18c so some garden work of some sort may ensue. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans That’s why I say my happy is different. I think I have more contentment & confidence in myself although not confident on other ways. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans “Aging is not disease, age is just time” npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans That’s a lovely thing to do for your friend, such a confronting process & you know exactly how she’d feel. I hope it all works out ok. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans I don’t know what is going on with SBS viceland but they’ve just finished showing The Fifth Element & it’s started again & looking at the guide it’s going to be shown another 4 times, one after the other 😂. #SBS #Freeview. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Good morning tooting friends. It’s a pretty dreary grey old day out there, but a warmish night of 11c, it was supposed to be less but 🤷🏼♀️. It’s only getting to 17c today with a slight chance of rain, not much in it though. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans When I was at the greengrocers I saw they had the jujube fruit for sale & I watched a program about them sometime ago & was interested. Not cheap to buy so I only chose 4 & took them with me for the cuppa with my friends & gave them one each to try. They are ok, apparently sweeter dried whichever is a bit the same as most fruit, but I quite liked them. Kind of like an apple but with a pear texture & they have one stone inside. I’m going to try to grow them. Even though I’m always the optimist I don’t really hold out a lot of hope, but you never know & I have been reading up on how to try. I now have 3 stones sitting on a paper towel drying on the window ledge & the last whole fruit I will eat after my dinner & that will give me 4 seeds of opportunity 😁. #JuJube #Fruit npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Good morning tooters. A little warmer again last night at 8c & once more heading up to 25c. Lovely sky just after dawn, full of small clouds which has all but disappeared now that it’s warming up. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans It’s lunch time & I’ve had a good & busy morning. I did my yoga class except I didn’t like the one I picked so pivoted to another which was much better, it just took me longer. Then I decided that before I headed into the garden I’d change the sheets on the bed - only because my routine is out of whack after being away two weekends in a row & I couldn’t remember the last time I changed them. After the bed was stripped though & as I knew it needed doing I turned the mattress which also involved taking off the electric blanket & shaking up the topper. Everything is all back to normal & bed remade. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans I like halloumi & have eaten a lot of it over the last few months, but only because it was given to me. It’s not something I commonly buy, even though it keeps well. I am enjoying it though, I have a 1kg block of the stuff atm 🤣. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans I’ve never done it before either, but I have a huge block of halloumi to eat. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans It’s not me I promise. I can’t even afford beef except if it’s 3 star cheap mince but I also don’t have a BBQ. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans It’s really hard when you live far away. You know basically what is going on, but you also don’t know what is going on. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Good evening pocket friends. I’m back in Chiltern for the weekend while the homeowners are in Sydney to be with their son, who is in the navy, for Anzac Day. So just two nights this time, home on Sunday. I brought down a few items to a friend who also lives here & we decided to go into the village for lunch. No free tables & we shared with another lady of a similar age to us & we struck up a conversation, as you do. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans TIL that the Libs & the Nats know they’re unlikely to win in Farrer so are going to preference One Nation. I am so disgusted. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans The tax tail should never be allowed to wag the commercial dog! - #AusPol #CapitalGains npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Jobs all done for the day including the mowing. I’ve also discovered something about my new whipper snipper. I’m not the best at that job, I never seem to get it quite right. Today I’m halfway through doing it & start wondering what the button on top of the whipper snipper is for. I press it & the angle of it changes, so I tried it out. I whipper snipped so much better - I have awesome edges now - almost 😂🤣. After all these years 😬. I’ve also watered my garden & filled the birdbath as it hasn’t rained in a while. The birds were quick to jump into the birdbath & have a bit of a splash too. #Garden npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Good morning Fedi friends. Not quite as cold this morning but still chilly at 3c & it going to be a lovely sunny 22c here in Chiltern though . 23c & sunny at home in Wodonga & where I’m heading in a couple of hours. I’m only home until Friday when I’m back here again for the weekend. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Hope you feel better soon Caity🌻. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans The old fossil that is trump himself may have unwittingly made the case for ending fossil fuels by just being himself! #AusPol #USPol #Renewables #Climate #FossilFuels npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans All settled into the house sit, dogs cat & chickens are good. I’ve fed myself & am in pjs because it was quite a busy day & a lot of fun. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Ooof that’s a busy day for you, but you achieved quite a bit. I hope the body pillow works for you. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Yeah. It’s just the lenses that are the most expensive part for me. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans I think next time when it gets within a year of needing new glasses, I’ll keep an eye out for frames on special. I won’t be able to keep using old frames forever. I will keep the ones I’m wearing now though as I like them. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Well that was a shock. I’ve had my eyes sorted & new lenses ordered for some old frames I have. I expected the price to have gone up especially as it’s been 4yrs since the last update, but even with the discount it was still just over $800 😳. Plus I needed some more eye drops - I’m glad the govt pay for all the testing! npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans That is so rude. I know you’d like everyone to be considered but you’re making it for the birthday person. You can’t please everyone & really you’d made reasonable offerings imo there was no reason for that reaction! npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans I’ve just closed up the house & put my electric blanket on. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Someone after my own cheesy heart 🤭. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Not in my house 🤣. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Great minds think alike Caity. Home made pizza here as well, with leftover chicken pieces & too much cheese 🧀😁. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans What a fabulous & productive day doing the things you enjoy. That’s great - but you know what, half a kilo is just 500g, a large packet of butter (mmmm - butter 🧈). You can easily vary by over a kg a day, all depending on what you’ve eaten the day before & the fluid you’re carrying. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans White choko! That’s a new one on me. Interesting. I hope it grows for you. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Good morning tooters. Sleeping super soundly & longer after daylight savings end, it does help that it’s a little cooler as well. A nice 12c when I got up today & it’s beautiful & sunny outside heading to 25c. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Awesome, well done you. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Yes. It could be a while though with them having two very big jobs on the go already & both will be costly to community housing. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Good morning tooting friends. Another glorious morning that I’ve watched eventuate over an hour or so. It was 9c overnight & I was up just before 6am. Today it’s heading to 26c & a beautiful clear sky. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Very annoying & that was happening here too npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans I think Rosie did really well. I don’t like anyone around my nether regions either 🥴. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans There was really nothing to explain - it was very self explanatory & a very basic speech. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Well it’s not pretty but my goodness it’s tasty. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans How to know you’re tired. Kefir needs decanting, go to fridge & look inside for about 30secs before it clicks I’m after the milk. New bottle of milk, use a knife to cut through the plastic ring on the lid because I don’t want a wildlife to get caught in it & in the process cut the joint at the base of my thumb. Realise the hydralyte I made myself a couple of hours ago is still on the bench. Spend way too long wandering around mindlessly this afternoon because I keep forgetting what I was doing. Now showered, in pjs & will be super early in bed. I’m very thankful my dinner only needs heating up. Whewwwwww so tired 🥱. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans I love chokos too, can’t seem to grow them though. I didn’t plant chillies this year & it was a mistake, fresh chillies are awesome. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Hey you - get into that kitchen & make me sandwich 🥪😬😉. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Sounds like a fabulous day for you & it’s wonderful knowing you’re out & about, doing things you love & enjoying your life. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Don’t breathe if you do - I’ve seen the news reports! npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans I just did something I haven’t done in many years. I took a selfie 😂. Boy have I changed but I’ve decided I do like my haircut, short as it is 😊. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Good morning Fedi friends & it’s a muggy grey & warm morning of 19c with 95% humidity. It won’t be getting much warmer either as it’s forecast to only reach 23c & the rain is supposed to be clearing by this evening. It’s been good soaking rain & not a deluge & my garden & I appreciate it. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans I hope this morning sees you feeling a lot better. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Well it’s been raining steadily all afternoon, but not storming & I keep checking my back area, but don’t want to open that back door. So I stand in the bath & look out the window 😂 & all is good. There also looks to be a lot more coming tomorrow from SA. If it stays like this I’m fine with it. If it pelts down again, I’ve done all I can to protect things. The good news is that maintenance is coming on Wednesday to quote for work that needs doing. I know housing will pick the minimum required & I’m ok with that if it works but I still plan on going to the SES for sandbags & every time I go away, I’ll block that back door. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Good morning tooters. Quite a warmish night, back to one light blanket & 17c when I got up pre dawn. Rain is forecast for today, not a lot though & it is supposed to reach 28c. Not much blue sky to be seen, but a lot of light grey clouds. A little rain would be very welcome - just a little though 😊. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans And I’m here for that ending - 6mths is too long! npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Not as much as I’d like to do. Got the whipper snipping at home done, including knocking to worst of the lawn back with it. Way too damp still to mow, so I’ll try tomorrow or Sunday more likely. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Good morning Fedi friends & what a lovely cool morning it is. It was 15c when I got up a couple of hours ago, still had a fan going all night though which was lovely. Getting a little warmer today reaching 32c & it’s still humid but it’s dropped to just under 80%. The day is forecast to be sunny as well, so hopefully things dry out some more. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Good morning tooters. It’s still very overcast outside & damp with 87% humidity. It was 21c when I got up & today the sky is supposed to clear to a warm 31c. I hope so, I want to go up home & mow tomorrow morning. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Magpies is all I can hear this morning, although there was an Ibis walking along the front fence as I let the cat out, it was very quiet. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Good morning tooters. Very overcast & grey today with drizzle around & still extremely humid. It’s was 22c when I got up & today it should get to an uncomfortable 29c with this humidity. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Thanks Caity. Such crazy weather & I’m glad to see the back of it for a wee while. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Yippee - it’s stopped raining & it doesn’t look like there’s much left to come. Thank goodness. I can relax & maybe even go for a swim tomorrow 😃. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans It’s raining, raining, raining - only 20c with 96c humidity 🤪. At least it’s not storming type rain, just drenching everything rain. I went up home to satisfy myself that I’ve done all I can to stop it getting into the garage again, but really don’t think it’s heavy enough. I know logically it’ll probably be ok, but I can’t help feeling a little stressy & experienced another aural migraine while I was there, the other eye this time & not for as long so just stayed for an hour to make sure it was gone & I was ok to come back to the sit. Also picked a couple more tomatoes & grabbed some mint to go with it. I need to cook some up tonight to have with dinner as I have a lot. The large crepe Myrtle I bought doesn’t seem very happy in its pot either. I think I may have to get in the ground this week sometime. #Weather #Stress #AuralMigraine #Garden. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Yeah, it’s not fun when it happens. I did some googling before so I’m up to date with it again. It’s been called a couple of other names & I’ve learnt it’s called a silent migraine now, which makes sense to me. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans I’ve been home from my sisters over two hours now & I developed a bit of an issue driving home. I noticed my left eye starting to lose vision to the left of the eyeball. No pain or anything. I pulled up at Aldi as I wanted a couple of things & by the time I got out of there I had a full on aural migraine in that eye. They’re painless, but I can’t see properly & had to get home. So I drove but with my left eye closed. It has only in the last half hour fully disappeared. I get them when I’ve been under stress, the very first time was when we got back home after adopting my daughter & they may happen once or twice a year. They don’t harm me, but they’re so weird & I’m thankful it wasn’t both eyes! #AuralMigraine npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Good morning tooters. I can barely believe it but I slept over 8 & 1/2 hrs last night. I can’t remember the last time I slept that long & when I sleep longer than normal I say I must have needed it - & I must have really needed it last night! It was about 23c when I woke up to grey overcast skies & today is supposed to be a rainy 29c & looking at the BOM that rain isn’t far away. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans That could well be the case. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Dank - that’s the word & exactly how I feel at my own place at the moment. Horrible. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Good morning Fedi friends. Awake at predawn as seems to be my usual nowadays. It was a pleasant & cool 19c this morning but heading to a hot 33c & feels less humid today thank goodness. I’ll be watering the garden again before I know it at this rate. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Ugh - sounds like an unpleasant humid day for you. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans I had some Tupperware but never had any of these. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Watch it - I was a real hippie. Long hair, long kaftan, flowers in my hair & I won’t admit to what was in my system 😬. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans All my jobs I needed to do are done, the only thing I couldn’t get rid of is a large indoor blind, but that’s ok. I can deal with that later. I have the new flyscreen curtain for outside of the laundry door but have realised I need to get something else so I can attach it. Nothing is straightforward anymore & that job can wait too! npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Some things went well when I went out this morning, some things didn’t. The first op shop wasn’t taking donations, the second only accepts things on Thursday & Saturday & finally the recycle shop took the lot & I spoke about 2 other things I have & was told to bring them in & they’d have a look. Then off to Bunnings for more hits & misses. I’ve found something to replace the little wheel that should be on the door frame to push the weather strip down & prevent water getting in. Then searched for fly mesh door curtain & I’d measured my doorway & thought I’d found what I wanted but then had doubts I’d measured correctly & decided to give it a miss until I could check. I had measured correctly - better safe than sorry though & will go & get it tomorrow when I take the other bits & pieces down to the recycle shop 😊. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Yes well, my garage & back garden did flood again & worse than last time. I’ve taken pictures & emailed my housing manager, hopefully it’ll be dealt with properly this time. Silt, dirt & debris everywhere ☹️. It’s going to be impossible for me to clean it all up myself, I can do some but not the fine crap in the garage. I can’t wear anything on my feet when I come into the house from the garage either due to the silt. What a mess. I’ve emailed community housing, just waiting to hear back. I estimate it came up at least 15cm as the overflow gully drain was topped with a pile of litter. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans This weather is off the charts. 24 flooding events in Wodonga right now. Doesn’t seem to be any up where I live so fingers crossed. Nothing I can do about it at the moment, but home tomorrow with fingers crossed 🫤. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Woohooo - it’s pouring rain & my garden at home will be getting it too. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Good morning tooters. It was 20c when I got up today, double what it was yesterday morning & today we’re supposed to get to 29c with rain to come, but as I well know that doesn’t always happen. Up, dressed & out of the door with the dogs by 6am again & it is a lovely morning today. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Good morning tooters. Quite a warm night here in Chiltern, but a very cool start to my day. I was awake early, not that I wanted to be but my body couldn’t agree with my brain. I managed to stay in bed until there was some light appearing in the sky just before 6am, then up & dressed, leads on the dogs & out of the door for a walk & it was a very cool 10c here. The sky may have been getting light, but the sun was nowhere near up. Even the rabbits weren’t out, did notice some plovers in the gloom of the park. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans I have Pareidolia which means I can see faces in all sorts of inanimate things & it happens a lot to me. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans I don’t think I know those ones. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans You need an icy pole! npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Great photos. I don’t know if you can see it, but if you zoom in the photo with the driftwood - you can see a tawny frogmouth owl in the wood - there’s even an eye & feathers hanging down 😀. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans That’s one thing I haven’t done. Mind you I haven’t cooked a rice pudding in a very long time either. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans That’s why I cut my one down some years ago, but I miss the fresh leaves a lot. I used them often & what’s available in store just doesn’t cut it. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans I’ve done my jobs & am ready for lunch. Did my exercise class, visited 3 different street libraries to place books & see what was available. I now have 3 for my sister to read, 2 of which I quite fancy reading myself. Then to the reject shop, great place for cheap detergent & bits & pieces. After that to the plant farm where I chose 2 crepe Myrtle’s & a Bay tree. The flame red crepe Myrtle will look spectacular as it grows & will get to 3 metres tall, the dwarf Myrtle to 2 metres & the Bay will be in a pot. Very happy with that. I just a little climbing plant now that’s easy to look after & not too vigorous. Also bought 4 bags of potting mix as there’s more things I want to do outside when it cools off a bit. #Garden #NewTrees npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans Swapping out sugar with another form of sugar is self defeating. It does nothing to address the issue that people eat way too much prepared sweet things than at any other time in our history & it’s increasing because recipes for sweet products are everywhere. We all like how it makes us feel to eat something sweet, but when you cut it out you realise it’s dulled your tastebuds to naturally sweet things. npub18zsr6rsdeuuw2u53r7qs7nfnw30lql5l7zwkymn9dp3qmtvkp6nsqngt0s Heather Evans I think it’s a great idea. Most of us do find that difficultly to buy for people as most of us have all we need, a personal gift is always welcome.
