Whoops!
"A major American magazine has mistaken Tasmania for Africa, accidentally referring to Cradle Mountain as being in Tanzania in an online article.
People Magazine were covering the story of Bindi Irwin and her family’s recent visit to the snow at Cradle Mountain when they mistook the popular tourist destination for East Africa."0 -
Hot, sunny day here. Mini heatwave.
I went out to the deli round the corner at 9 am, and it was already blazing. Shade was cooler. Picked up a few bits, just because I could. I just had my stick. Nice to edge back into normal life.
I'm also trying to climb the stairs some of the time with alternate legs. Difficult, but I use the banister for support.
Looking forward to seeing the kids today. I will Uber it over. John doesn't mind walking in the heat, but I hope Bea has water.
P has gone home because her husband is due back from Gibraltar for her cataract ops. G and B are getting the bus up to Devil's Dy.ke, to go for a walk. It used to be an old haunt when we were schoolgirls. B has a flight in the early evening.
So pleased I could see them, but glad I wasn't involved in all the nonsense last night about cocktails and where to eat. I am allergic to group decisions. Just meeting for one lunch was perfect for me. When we do get together I prefer to stay separately in a hotel, and I usually stay for a shorter time.
Nice to see you, Monique.

Monique or Mississippi Mo
I'm essentially a data analyst so I do a lot of SQL coding.
I live in the smallest, most southern state in Australia ... Tasmania! It's winter here, and the day with the shortest daylight hours just past. Slowly but surely the daylight hours are increasing.

Monique - Glad to see you pop up, I was afraid we'd lost you!
Heather - Love John's limerick, he's got that thing I find most attractive in any man - a sense of humor!Enjoy your time with the grands today, I know you've missed it.
Machka - Just a tiny bit of difference between Tanzania and Tasmania, besides that one little letter and a lot of geography...
I was up after only about four hours sleep, but I napped out for two hours yesterday afternoon, so not a surprise. Yanked myself out of bed this morning when I found myself thinking that I hadn't heard from my oldest niece since I sent her the quilt I made for her a year and a half ago, and wondering if she hated me now because I made a mistake in that quilt that I didn't even remember making. Very much 3 a.m. thinking, and I do know better - I cycle out sometimes at night, and the only way to stop is just to get up and interrupt the silliness.
Got a few messes cleaned up on my computer, and back to working correctly, and got my brain to stop being stupid, which is always helpful. Waved Corey off to work at his usual 5:30 a.m., and then got the meat I picked up yesterday separated and vacuum bagged and in the freezer. Starting on my second cup of coffee, which I don't ordinarily drink more than one.
Dawn is breaking, still a half hour nearly until sunrise - won't go out until I can see well enough to keep from tripping over any snakies🐍 that might be enjoying the warm temperatures and mouse-hunting at this time of day 🐭🪤. Still not fond of anything with more than four legs or less than two... And not terribly fond of most of the two-leggers! Apparently I've finally made it to "cranky old bat stage." I'm OK with it. 👵🏼😜😁👀
Will get a little more reading in, and then get the garden and the flower beds watered. Planted sunflowers 🌻🌻 last weekend, as the ground under the bird feeders is sprouting them like crazy from the dropped seeds, so obviously they'll grow here. Need to get them some water, too... no rain in the forecast for at least two weeks, 💦 so our water bill is going to be going up just to keep a few things alive and growing... If it doesn't rain in those two weeks, we'll probably be under a hose ban again.
Ah well - that's life in the country, where rain is almost always a good thing.
Later, y'all,
Love,
Lisa

Margaret DrewB’s heart murmur and anemia gone? Such validation! Have you tried diatomaceous earth as an insect preventative? Puffing it into the cracks in our kitchen drove away the ants, and into the exterior cracks works (somewhat) against the spiders. EA hours. ((hugs))
Debbie could those kittens be any cuter?
Later, lighter, lovelies!
Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMODMove more than yesterday, fuel better than yesterday, live NOW.
Open heart and mind before mouth.
2024: Strengthen: body, mind, heart-connections
I just got a 4lb bag of the diatomaceous Earth this afternoon. Tomorrow I will be puffing it around the catio, in the cat beds and on the carpet for the fleas. The cute little kittens brought them in and they are bad now. Kittens have had two baths but still scratching. Luckily they don't mind their baths and are small enough I can hold with one hand while rubbing the flea shampoo with the other.
Hope to find a home for at least two of them. Dh is talking about just keeping them. We do NOT need three more cats in the house. I am ready for them to go to new homes and not have a litter box in the living room in their playpen-this is the room I spend most of my time in. I clean it twice a day but would rather it not be in here at all plus the playpen is taking up too much room. LOTS of toys for them taking up more room.
Debbie
Move the playpen, litterbox and toys into your DH's room. Problem moved to his area.

Hi, everyone! I hope you don’t mind if I tag along. I’m 47 in July but definitely have the metabolism of a 99-year-old woman already. :-) Looking forward to getting to know y’all!

The neighbor at son's house is in Tanzania right now. She is on a tour. The tour she is in has many options for those on the tour. The tour program also gives the options to be involved in giving back to the community projects. Another option is to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. My neighbor is not doing that one. Her significant other could not join her on this trip because of neck surgery. He showed me pictures of tanzanite only found in that country. Sounds like she is having a great time.2

@planktonbye (Sarah), Welcome! Tell us a little about yourself and a vague idea of where you are... it helps us keep everyone straight.
OK - So, I got the garden and all the flowerbeds watered, front and back. Filled the bird feeders, both the sunflower seeds and the hummingbird feeder, and then started on the housework. The kitchen counters & stove are clean, dishwasher is running; debating on picking up the rugs to wash, but if I do, I have to vacuum and mop the floors before I put them back down, so still thinking about it. Ate breakfast before I did the dishes... that half a second cup of coffee and a couple scrambled eggs have definitely kept my energy levels high so far.
All kinds of possibilities stretch out in front of me for the rest of the day... it's just a matter of choosing between them.
Later, y'all,
Love,

Migraine continued today through the seminar. Fortunately it wasn't too bad and the room was cool and not too bright and mostly all I had to do was listen. But it got worse into the evening.
Did laundry and hung it up to dry.
Moved some file boxes out of office.
I was trying to see if a bit of exercise would help. It didn't.
Going to bed a bit early tonight.

Yesterday’s dinner: chicken thigh with a slice of pepperoni in it for flavor, roasted potato (roasted with chicken), summer squash and pickled beats with olives. Desert was strawberries in stevia over a biscuit with cool whip. Snack was a peach.
Breakfast today was same, sugar free maple oatmeal with banana, butter, and almond butter.
I eat the same breakfast every day until I run out of that flavor. I’ve got cream of rice coming up next. I will add butter and almond or peanut butter to that too for protein and fat and of course the half banana.
