Oh Wow. I would love to get rain like that.

Hi Carol. I love your new avatar ! I`ll send you every raindrop I can get !

 

[Bee62]

Greetings all. Truck is unpacked, kayak off, drying things out.

Here’s one pix from yesterday morning from the Great Dismal Swamp. Just wonderful cypress trees....

Huhhh, looks like a storm is coming on your picture ! Isn`t it dangerous to be on the water when a thunderstorm is coming ? I think of lightnings.

Thank you and Thank you Sabine. The Avatar is my favorite picture of Kang.

With only 2 of us, I do one load of “light coloured and whites” and one of “dark coloured”. I have enough to do one of each once a week with just the two of us. We have a Miele machine like this

I have a Miele too. They are the best !

Yes...paddling in rainstorms is fine, often fun as long as it stops between squalls. We closely monitor the weather and try very hard to not be out during lightning.

Good morning Linda! It is really irritating to be limited when you feel mostly fine ( except when you need to do something ) I hope something fascinating that grabs your attention comes up and makes the day go by for you. isn’t it fantastic how easy you can shop now? Out supermarkets have all adopted a click list program. It’s where you shop online and then Pull into a special reserved parking spot at the store and they bring everything right out to your car.. it eliminates the spontaneous buying that I’m so horrible about [emoji21]...

I have been getting my bulky shop delivered for over 15 years now. I think the UK led the way in online shopping. With my back problems prohibiting me from lugging anything heavy, having someone paid to bring in it into my kitchen is brilliant. All I have to do is put the individual items away.

Sorry Ray! I know that’s frustrating... have you tried some soft sound to block everything out??? Hope you find something g to help you catch some sleep [emoji99] soon!

Thanks Ellie May, I have tried classical music. But pain is seems to win out. I got up at 9am. Thanks to my wife she already had Opo out grazing.

 

[Ray--Opo]

Hopefully you are asleep by now. What is bothering you that you cannot sleep?

Pain

 

[Ray--Opo]

Yes....good day. We’ll be working on tree clean up! Yeah....

If you need a hand just let me know.

I loved helping my mother do laundry. You can do 2 or 3 loads in the same water. They get clothes way cleaner too. Hang them out to dry. I know it's an old fashioned way and young families don't have that kind of time anymore.

My sister put her arm through the wringer when she was little. She still has the scar lo these 60 or so years later.

 

[Yvonne G]

I hope Yvonne doesn't have to weed eat!
Maybe after living with all those torts she decided to join them for dinner!

LOL!! That's why I've started referring to the machine as a line trimmer. "Weedeater" is a brand name. And NO!!! I definitely DO NOT eat weeds. Give me a big hunk of red meat anyday!!!

In the UK they’re known as Strimmers

Technicolour bruises- and this is a fortnight after the cyst ruptured!
