I see what you mean...

Of course I did. I have been told that sharing is caring.

Hi everybody! Just in for a quick "Hello!" now I'm off to work outside before the rain starts.

No problem. Lurk away. We encourage lurking if you don't want to participate.

Lurking, like eavesdropping, is an art form... and a most useful one to cultivate!

G’day All

Below freezing night time temps coupled with cold day time temperatures means it’s time to bring the potted fig trees into the garage. Yesterday i brought in about 20 trees that are in 2-3 gallon pots, today is the larger ones. Garage is getting fuller and fuller the colder it gets. Summer is over :-(. But, we keep looking for a house with some Sully land in F L O R I D A . Maybe by next year we’ll be there!

Good morning all from cold and frosty Kent. There was even a little snow in some areas not far from us! We didn't get any. The local paper has gone into a frenzy with (library) pictures of snow ploughs in action. The actual photos of the snow show something just a bit thicker than the frost we have... less than 1cm/0.5" [emoji849]

If we had that much snow on the ground in Florida, it would pretty much qualify as a snow day.

I have never seen that movie and by the sounds of it I don't want to either.

No, you definitely don't want to see that movie. I've been trying to forget it for a couple decades now!

You mean that one cupboard in the most inconvenient place un the kitchen? The one above and sort of behind the refrigerator, that you need a really tall stool to reach?

That's the one!!

What Nobody has visited this morning, maybe it is Black Friday and you are all taking part and standing in queues.

Here are some jokes to brighten up your day:

1. My dog used to chase people on a bike a lot. It got so bad, finally I had to take his bike away.
2. My boss told me to have a good day.. so I went home
3. The other day, my wife asked me to pass her lipstick but I accidentally passed her a glue stick. She still isn't talking to me.
4. I just wrote a book on reverse psychology. Do *not* read it!
5. My wife told me I had to stop acting like a flamingo. So I had to put my foot down.

I love one liners!

Our council is broke. The verges are hardly ever cut now which is great

They just need to place a couple signs out there... WILDLIFE FRIENDLY LANDSCAPING.

Hi Yvonne.
I hope you manage to get it all done before it rains.

Good morning (mornooning), Carol! Thank you for the laughs!

It was the Black Friday for me.

First I went to buy some blue cheese. That I did without much damage to my persona. Except an elderly gentleman drove his shopping cart into my leg at the cashiers.

Then, I went to get another six bottles of the wine I got yesterday (good quality and very cheap). But it was already sold out. I must have got there five minutes late on my limping leg.

Then I hobbled to the Flying Tiger shop to get Christmas gifts for daughter’s class. It took me forever to choose something within the budget and in the necessary quantity of 17.

Then I managed to almost get back home, but stopped by our next-door fancy wine shop to get some port (buy 2 get 1 free deal; we’re going to a Christmas roast party in a couple of weeks and need to prep ourselves). All I know about port is that I like it, usually, so I couldn’t choose for a long time.

Now I’m finally home, with cheese and port and 17 wooden trains.

It must have been very difficult to cho-cho-choose the right gift!

I like port with brandy when I have a cold.
It doesn't cure you but certainly helps you forget you're ill!

Is there ever any space left after all the plants are packed away into the garage?

A whisky mac is our medicinal choice. Equal measures of whisky and ginger wine.

I believe Lyn's Wine collection is a full oven.

Yes it is carol!
People used to kill themselves by sticking their heads in an oven to gas themselves - they would drown in mine!!

What part of Florida are you looking to relocate to?

Not that there’s any sun visible. And it’ll only get worse! [emoji33][emoji33]

That's almost an hour before us and it's grey and miserable here as well.
