Glorious pictures from Mark again!


Good morning all. It is fractionally cooler and fresher here this morning which is lovely!

I tried our canera trap in video mode last night which the hedgehogs clearly avoided like the plague. The Wood Mouse under our bird feeder clearly had no such qualms though and I have lots of videos of him/her :)

Yesterday’s Pub In The Park was a really good afternoon. The last band on the stage was The Christians, we went to Rye to see them earlier this year. They sang a cover of Three Lions, a very popular anthem with England football fans, adapting the lyrics to “Three lions on their shirt, Jules Rimet’s still gleaming, fifty years of hurt, we’ve just beaten Sweden...” Videoed from the shade of a marquee in portrait (sorry)

Couldn’t watch, but I will when I have better connection!

Well, I had a nice and relaxing weekend and it is back to the grindstone today. Both my boys are on holiday so I set them both a task to do today. Problem is that I can only remember what the one task is that I set. So I sent them a reminder saying that they must do the tasks that I asked them to do (without mentioning what the tasks where) Hopefully they remember what they both were.:D I'll more than likely remember when I get home and it hasn't been done. LOL I am terrible. Well I hope everyone has a good Monday.

I wonder if they’re counting on you not remembering... Whoever draws your name for TORTOISE should send you a pack of post-its ;)

Greetings

Perfect morning again here - cool start of 65f, no humidity.

Kayaking? ....no, we were off early getting more paint for our shed. Although or color looked nice, it wasnt the dark woodsy green that we wanted... so, paint in hand now and painting up the garden shed. Then we can do the trim, tar the loose toof tiles and be done.

On another note...the darn deer decided to eat half of our jalapeno and yellow banana pepper plants... all full of blooms, now trimmed back... darn deer...

I told you to “invite” it to a barbecue party. ;) Venison steaks, anyone? :eek:

@Yvonne G I see you lurking on other threads, but no check in's here. Did we upset you or something? We are missing you.
@DE42 Are you Okay. We are getting really worried, as we haven't heard how you are doing lately. Did the medicine help you at all?
@Laura1412 How are you and your back doing?
@Kristoff it has been rather punless while you have been away. We need you back home.
@Bee62 It has been nice that you have been able to pop in lately for a little while. How is your leg doing today?
@Lyn W You and I always seem to miss each other. Is Lola still being a Diva?
@JoesMum wan't it laundry and ironing day for you today?
@Maro2Bear can't wait to see the finished Shed after you paint it with the new colour. BTW when you are done there, I need my house painted.;)
@ZEROPILOT How are you doing, haven't heard from you in a While.
@Bambam1989 love that recipe. I have a biltong (dried beef maker) and I will be trying your recipe out this weekend.
@Toddrickfl1 How did the jelly recipe work out? Did you ever do it?
@Momof4 Have your recovered from your camping trip and soccer/football matches yet?
@mrnewberry ewberry how are the sprouts doing, they must be getting bigger by now?
@Dipa, long time no see! How are you doing?
@Gillian Moore How are you and Oli doing? Are you also experiencing some heat waves and or too much rain. Not sure which is the correct one for you at the moment.

Well, I am leaving work now and it is off to the shops, making supper and going to try and get a walk in, in the vlei before it gets too dark. I want to get in some photo's of the bird life etc for you guys. It will depend on when I am done with the chores though, so hopefully they go quickly.

Please forgive me for the post-its joke. That’s some memory! (You just remember the important stuff, right?) :D

Carol you are so good at keeping up with everyone !!

I’ll be able to relax this week. My husband left for China so I don’t make big dinners and I get lazier when he’s gone.

Our girls played great soccer yesterday. It was still hot and humid and they had one sub and ended up 1-1. We were also playing up a bracket and ended up in 3rd place.
It’s a new team and new coach.

My daughter played defense for the first time and she did great but still has to learn the position.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to ramble about my kids soccer.

Well done, Kathy’s daughter! Soccer is cool. Soccer moms are even cooler! ;)

Now, it's just all that sports stuff. I hate sports and was waiting to come back when that has all gone away.

World Cup is only every 4 years... and like Presidential Elections and Moon Landings and Great Storms it’s good to know where you were when the Wall fell, etc. :)
