And what appears in the app on my phone is much different to what appears on my laptop screen. The laptop screen looks nicer. M in Oz

Title Test 1 Test 2 Test 3 Title Test 1 Test 2 Test 3 Test 4 @LisaInArkansas … I'm not exactly sure how I'm doing it. I discovered I could copy and paste an Excel spreadsheet in here. And it appears I can make background colours to some extent (grey). But then, I copy one cell and it comes in as two cells - one for the…

Quote: Rodger isn’t speaking to me tonight, he wants to buy new rims for his truck. He sent me a text today stating they were $317 each. When I suggested we buy 2 now and one in July and one in August he quit speaking. I’m not perfect, I never claim to be, but I’m so tired of having to be the responsible one. Tell him that…

We have the same or similar … and the recyclable stuff goes into the "Tip Shops" for sale if it is good enough or elsewhere to be recycled. @minicooper452 … nice cards! @Anniesquats100 … welcome back! Today Worked from home and then swimming. Still working on putting all the pieces together. Machka in Oz

Quiet Time: When I get home after work … and before I start all the "home" jobs I need to do in the evenings, I take Rhody for a walk outside. Lately, it's been pitch black so I've been standing out there staring up at the stars … while Rhody looks for his girlfriend. I kind of need that quiet time after work. Salt: When I…

@sh0tzz99 … sorry about your husband's situation. But glad to hear you've lost some weight! @Snowflake1968 … sorry about your kids and your daughter's friend. A lot going on. @1948CWB … I wouldn't be able to handle my life without my anti-depressants. I'd be having a complete meltdown at least once a week. Are you able to…

Beautiful rain outside. My new bulbs will like it. Stayed inside and listened to the Classic 100 Piano presentation on ABC Classic FM. The classical music station holds a Classic 100 each year, with a different theme each year. This year's theme was "Piano". People can vote for their favourite 10 Piano pieces, the votes…

Saturday Planted a whole bunch of spring bulbs. I had planted Triteleia (Spring Stars) a couple weeks ago and Tulips about a week ago. This week I put in Freesias and Hyacinths. I would like to get more Hyacinths, but they are expensive. I'm also trying Ranunculus. Some are in baskets and some are in the ground. Then I…

Lost 10.3 kg = 22.7 lbs since the beginning of January. Saturdays (like today) are usually my low day of the week. I'm 58 and want to go into my 60s being relatively slim and fit. My husband has lost about the same too. He will be going into his 70s soon. We simply burn more calories than we take in. CI<CO. Eat less,…

Today was cold and windy and cycling wasn't appealing so I decided to do a walk/run. Out of the 6.5 km I covered, I ran 2.6 km. By "ran", I mean that I jogged slowly. 😁 That's good. I still have in mind that I might like to do a short triathlon - a Try-a-Tri. As seen on the chart below, I might be interested in the Sprint…

@glypnirsgirl … I am missing warmth and long daylight hours because I would like to do a lot more with our garden. We use sugarcane mulch which is a very light coloured mulch. @LisaInArkansas … yes, different sports use different muscles. Even climbing stairs uses different muscles or parts of muscles from cycling or…

Smart Scale - we've had a couple of them for a few years that shows me bone density and a number of other things. After looking at it for a bit, I started to ignore those things and right now, the scale in my bathroom is set up with my husband's age and height. 😄 One days I should probably adjust it for me. Because I…

We have a mandarin tree in our little orchard which has born fruit! It was delicious, but just slightly dry, so I might have to take the other two off today. Evidently they dry a bit if you leave them on too long. I've never grown mandarins before! Machka in Oz

Did your daughter's hair grow out curly? I've had various people tell me I should get my hair cut short because it would probably be really curly then. But I'm not so sure because the curl didn't show up till my hair grew longer. Machka in Oz

I think I've been seeing the meteor shower: Arietids when I have taken Rhody out for walks. "Shooting stars" every evening shortly after sunset recently. Machka in Oz

I can do 6 - 8 strokes with my face in the water, while breathing out and bubbling away, before I feel like I need to take a breath. It's possible I need to breath out faster. Machka in Oz

Machka: I keep meaning to comment on your swimming lessons. I learned as a toddler and have lived with pool access most of my life. I LOVE swimming in the open ocean, and for this reason I recommend you learn to breathe from BOTH sides. When I do laps in the pool or swim in open ocean, I breath every 3rd stroke and that…

I am a little younger than you, but the first field I went into was Engineering Technology and of the 100-odd students in that area in the college I went to, 5 of us were female. Then I ventured into Software Development and again, the ladies were outnumbered by the guys. I've been in a lot of fields (education and…

Lisa, thanks for letting us know. I'm glad they found it quickly and are taking care of it quickly. I hope Kim is all right and recovers well. 💐💝💐💝💐💝 Machka in Oz

I am just happy to have made it through May! I am lighter than April. Still nicotine free in spite of life circumstances thrown my way. Well done @kymarai one of the things that I have found most helpful is simple – log everything that I eat BEFORE I eat it. Then I can make an informed decision about whether I really want…

May was very successful for me, weight wise. I dropped close to 5 lbs. Well done, @drkatiebug … me too!! Do you find you get all squishy when you lose weight? It's funny! So Machka, are you prescient? Tripped on a root on the pack walk yesterday and landed on my knees, forearms and forehead. Nothing broken, thank goodness,…

No worries ... understand completely. Please don't feel pressured. Machka in Oz

Day 6 of Learning to Swim. Need to figure out a breathing rhythm. What works for cycling & climbing stairs, doesn't for swimming. Machka in Oz

JUNE June 1 - All day training course regarding the Varroa Mite which can invade bees & beehives. I'm glad we went, but I wasn't excited about getting up early on a Sunday and spending the whole day learning about this mite. The course could have ended at least an hour earlier … probably 2 hours. There was so much…
