Nightly Goodnight Everyone

[Riverlander]

I am over this hot weather. Luckily being retired I don't have to be out in it and our house keeps very cool with the air-con running but it is getting very boring not being able to work in the shed. Still a couple more hot days to go before a bit of a cooler spell. The poor garden is getting burnt even though we keep the water up to it. Motorbike is all in pieces and everything has been polished or painted. Just need a trip to Adelaide to drop off the bits that need re-chroming. Goodnight All. Cheers John

Night John, the weather has been ok for the last few days and looks to continue that way until the weekend.
I even had enough time outside to cut up the steel and make one of the box frame sections that make up the body work around the steps ....

Yesterday I even got the door back on and hammered the hinges out until it shut sort of properly .... seems the big winds catching the door and swinging it against the louvre windows, not only left the window markings in the Perspex, but bent the hinges big time.

Judging by the pattern of marks, it's not the first time it's happened either, but not as bad as the last one that resulted in the door no longer closing ..... those things are heavy once you take them off, they don't look that heavy either .....

Dot, still quiet mate. Over this hot weather too? Stay inside in the cool mate. xxxx

Yes Shirley, I reckon the kids are on their devices. It's just weird that none are going past our place with the usual fishing rods and towels on the way to the jetty and the pool. Not any of them. Maybe they too ,are feeling the heat as it seems to be accumulating. Hotter today than yesterday and then tomorrow will be hotter again. Hope the rain does come on Sunday as promised.

We both have hearing appointments in Newcastle tomorrow, so another day doing doctor things. Seems to sum up our retirement totally. There is hardly a week when we don't have medical stuff happening. I have marked out the month of March and early April for us to escape and there is no medical stuff for that time frame. We are both starting to look forward to that time.

The pestman was good today. He took his time and seemed to be thorough. We passed the termite test, so that was good news. He gave his lordship a bit of a lecture about all the garden that is too close to the house and suggested that even more needs to be removed. I hope he listened better to the the expert. I have suggested that the vegetation could use a good cut back...fingers crossed that he really listened today.

Stay cool you lot,
night all xxx

Like this Deborah? isn't their smell divine? Brian was picked up yesterday arvo very unsteady on his feet He was bumping into everything and it did look funny. His eye lid has a couple of stitches in it and is a tad swollen. The vet gave him a little "goodie bag'' A tin of recovery food, and a neck collar made from a material but that was not welcomed so he just laid down on my old d/gown on the floor and slept. He ate as soon as he got home hut he has not been seen having a pee or a poop even though he digs and sits but 0 to be seen Will ring vet if I see 0 in his loo tonight. He has 2 doses of pain relief daily and ointment to his eye x2 day. He is eating ok but drinking nothing, he is not dehydrated. Today the cleaning lady came to vac and mop the tiles and the bathroom. Well to me that means dust furniture , wipe down windowsills, dust the skirtings. Of course you go and check their work and to my surprise the tv cabinet had the same dust on it (not wiped) the skirting boards also not been done . Then in the afternoon another boss type person came to finish the paperwork and I asked if they had any handymen that could use the big paver cleaning machine and I would hire the machine = NO would they have a handyman that would be able to affix the shade cloth which is fraying away from the woodwork (using a hammer) = NO but they will get someone to clean the gutters out and that is up on a ladder? And this crap about only wiping the fronts of cupboards but will not wipe out the insides We can do all of that but not the bottom shelf ?? They will only clean 1 loo but we clean our own loo. Had my dyke cut today and then went to K mart which was great hardly anyone in there. Tomorrow the sparkie comes to replace the old fans with the new ones, only getting 4 done cuz at $300 to do 1 fan when all the wiring is already there. Last couple of days have been nicer than it has been it is revving up for the next week or so. Air con is doing it's job nicely . Going to get Brian out side before bedtime so I can give him another chance to do his thing in the dirt. He hates the inside loo. Take care everyone. Goodnight everyone x Goodnight Homeless x
PS Any one wanting some spare cash to do some men's work like a new ensuite update/redo ??
