Good Morning All,

Life is good on this side, we have got rain!! :D:tort:. My doggies are however outside, so hopefully they use their noggins and go into their kennels. I hope the seeds that I planted on the weekend are enjoying the rain so far. And I don't have to water them myself. See life IS good.
This weekend, I will be planting the other seeds that arrived yesterday. So hopefully I will soon have a good variety of tort food.

And to get the day started a little something for you all to enjoy:

The tennis ball trick
What's the "tennis ball trick"? When I asked Google, the search returned results on how to break into a car using a tennis ball... o_O Carol, what are you suggesting there?? :eek:
Well, that is just in case I lose my job, then I will have another career to fall back on! LOL serioussly though it is when you take a tennis ball and put it in a sock (so that you can control it) then you Put it behind your back and then move it around while press back against a wall or you can use it on the floor, depending on which area you want to work on and or which is easiest. It is like using those foam rollers, but it smaller therefore gives you a deeper work out. So here are two links one for the piriformas and one for the neck.

Good. It's sunny and hot. (Much like your average winter day in South Africa, I'm sure...) I walk a lot every day, partially (er, mostly) motivated by geocaching.
Is that what you were doing yesterday by the Viking Ship museum /pond/yard? Today it is 15 degrees Celsius. That warm enough for you? Because it is just a tad on the chilly side for me.;) What exactly do you collect when geocaching?

15 C is a tad chilly, but very reasonable for spring here. It’s much warmer right now though (22C high), and looks like we’re going to get blasted by a heatwave - two days of 27C! :D
Yep, I went down the shore around the museum yesterday to find this:

Oh those are so cool. So do you take out what you find and then put something else back in for somebody else to find?

Yes, if the container is big enough. I took out a purple die and a Czech coin and placed the Kinder Egg dinosaur in the picture.
Otherwise you just sign a log book with your username and the date (when you find tiny ones like in the first picture).
The “caches” are usually hidden around interesting and/or scenic places, so you get to visit something nice and learn something new in the process.

That is really cool. I just googled to see if we have one here and apparently there a lot of people in Cape Town who do it as well. Looks like fun. I should one day do it with the kids and hubby as a fun day out.

Wow, those are awesome pictures. Your camera must be a good one. Mine would just take a blurry picture if the target was moving. You must love the water, as you do alot of Kayaking.

Yep...out on the water as much as we can. Heres a pix of a big old turtle basking on Mattawoman Creek in southern Maryland just following all of the rain..(ps. Lots of pix had no visible planes...). A pix as well of a beaver’s den/lodge.

I’ve had shingles 3x and it always starts on torso. Do you have it there?
I really hope you get relief soon. Maybe a oatmeal type bath?
Sorry for my late answer but I was working.
I had shingles for several years on the middle of my back but since last year this part of my body is free from it but it is on my legs. More painful than on the back !
My immune system is in ongoing stress because of the troubles with my boyfriend. I am sure if I could get rid of him I will get rid of the shingles too.
Unfortunately I can`t get rid of him.
