Hmmmm. Your roommate would include Mr Shredder and Mr Mower. So sure..

I don’t know about Mr Shedder, but I hear mowers are like husbands: They are difficult to get started, and then they don't work half the time.
;) Just kidding. Please don’t tell husband I said this. :eek: :D

Think I've finally managed to catch up with everyone's posts.
Now it's time to say goodnight.
Commiserations to all England supporters, I don't like football and haven't seen any matches but know it's a blow for everyone in UK who is, and the team.
It's a nice change to hear about an unassuming footy manager with humility - that is a novelty!!
But never mind they did well to get to the semi finals and I'm they'll still have open top bus celebrations with ticker tape when they get home!
Hope everyone has a good Thursday - the weekend is just around the corner!!!
Nos Da!!!
Night night Lyn. Sleep tight.

Nice job on the shed. I absolutely hate painting. That's one thing I'll pay a contractor to do any day rather than have to do myself!

I had to give up on a garden. I had a nice big one first few years I lived here but it was almost like the word got out to all the forest critters. Every year after that they ate everything I planted as soon as it sprouted. I tried all kinds of things to keep them away but nothing worked.

Hope everyone had a great day. It's absolutely sweltering here in GA these past few days. Kind of glad I work in a freezer :D. My tortoise Murphy seems to be enjoying it outside though. I've been spraying him down with the hose every so often to keep him cool.

Hot here too. I work outside until about 11a then I come in and take a cooling shower and vegetate the rest of the day. For the next 7 days our over night temp is going to be 75F or above. When it doesn't cool off more than that at night you wake up to a HOT house!!! We're on our 14th consecutive day over 100f.

Good evening all.

It’s been my quarterly governor standards panels today - 3 two hour panels and a 1 hour summative meeting - a very data heavy day.

I made a conscious effort to go out for a 15 minute brisk walk in each of the breaks between the meetings today and it really helped both my back and my concentration. :)

I got home to a riot on my Moderator forum so a thread has been closed, posts deleted and a few stern PMs sent [emoji849]

I hope you all had a good day. Hopefully mine will be less busy :D

Wow....we’ve been hot, humid and no rain in a long time now. But 14 days above 100 is crazy hot. Stay cooool and hydrated.

Evening all.
A bit cooler here today and thunderstorms are forecast for tomorrow so they should clear the air.
Hopefully no lightning strikes will cause fires.
The low reservoirs have finally hit the news with tips on how to save water.
Wonder if my neighbours will forfeit their pool (that comes out every year and takes up all their garden) or at least one of their washing machines (they have a second in their garden and are pumping the water into a soak away!)

I've heard a good tip - save water and bath (or shower) with a friend!!! ;)
He/She can bring their own loofah!

Just been out to check on my frogs (a second one has joined the first in my 'pond').
I've set up my wildlife camera again to watch them but it's mainly filming next doors cats:mad:.
Wish I knew how to get rid of them - the electronic cat deterrent doesn't seem to make any difference.
if we weren't short of water I'd get a motion detector water hose.
Apologies to cat lovers but I don't like them using my garden as a giant litter tray!!

Borrow a friends big dog for a few days!

My grand daughter is in New Jersey, so I get the heat index from her all the time. Thank goodness we don't have the humidity you folks do. It would be hard to take!
