Congrats to T1 and Margaret!

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Ummmm........ :lol: But there is a full green from lawn that has now turned into a flower garden, not sure what those broad leaf plants with the yellow flower is but they seem to be the majority of the lawn, they aren't dandelions, these have a flower with a black centre and a ring of yellow petals.... a definite weed but at least they are green :roll:
Sounds like Cape Weed. Not very good for traction. Even worse if it is damp. I think that there is a grub that eats that too.
The round-up type spray seems to knock them around reasonably well so I don't think we will risk introducing any more bugs down this way :lol:

Cape Weed....

Just mow it and the grasses will take over.

It dies off in summer.

Great for bees.

(don't spray as the other grasses around it will die too.)

Well that was the other choice, at least it's green and covers the bare dirt patches. Around the workshop it's a different story, that and the santa claus weeds and some sort of vine looking weed springs up all over the place so we regularly spray them as the place looks bad with weeds growing up through the gravel. They sure grow fast though, miss it for a few weeks and they get an upper hand and are real hard to kill, all the rain isn't helping either, washes the spray off if the timing wrong.

Always some where for you to park any time you feel like visiting Erich & Lesley, Brian might even have settled on just which houseboat he's going to buy so we can transport all his goodies there :lol: He has been like a kid in a lollie shop on evil bay and at the op shops, lounge chairs and table and chair settings, bar stools, the list goes on, he better get one soon as we are running out of walking space ;)

Rest assured, if we are in the vicinity we will drop in. Great to see everything falling in to place for you two.

I still can't believe the level of interest in the whole lithium and solar install thing. We thought we'd be struggling for the first 6mth or more to build up a name.... we haven't even had a chance to put a sign up yet and we aren't game to put up a website, I'm just hoping to have enough time to visit the new place every so often :lol: Now I'm trying organise the work load so I can watch Bathurst in Oct but it's looking rather grim, the calendar is booked out for the rest of this yr and I haven't been game to look at next yrs, but at least we have finished the travels back and forth to the lake now that the house is sold over there.

Remember to take time between customers to re charge your batteries.

:lol: I have to do the recharging on the go Dottie, I'm just trying to reduce the over lap to a few days and only 2 jobs overlapping, I had 3 jobs and 2 weeks overlap a little while back and managed to get the local flu at the same time.... that was kinda interesting I can tell ya :?
So, when are back in the area Dottie and George, then you can look for the parcel yourself ;) :D
