I could type on the poem but it wouldn't let me do anything else!

What do you mean, buddy?

Always... beggars can't be choosers.

Nothing but sunshine here. Morning, bro and Mum.  

Periods of clouds and sun here. Warm, though.

I got some fittings for my garden hoses today. Can now reach from the back door of the house to the far end of the upper garden if I need to. Of course, that probably means the summer will now turn wet.

Also managed to buy a potted rhubarb plant   and some first early seed potatoes (a bit late really for planting them, but they will still be ready for lifting well before the others I planted several weeks ago).  

Hi, Gary!

(And "Hi" to everyone else)

It works for me, Gary.  Both the image and the link in the green text above it.

Happy Thursday gang

It's a HOT! 30°C I feel like heat is irradiating from my body *fans myself* 

I baked Gâteaux battus this afternoon. For 5 brioches the receipt calls for a total of 24 eggs!! 4 whole and the 20 others just the yokes. They turned out great. I'm kinda proud of myself

I've been painting/staining my house in the hot sun. I'm trying not to overdo it... and I am not enjoying being on the ladder, but I am extremely cautious. My injured shoulder shakes like crazy when I try to paint with it. Fortunately, I am left handed. Slow and steady wins the race.

You mean... You're saying... You're being cautious and reasonable while being on a ladder? 🤯

Yup... because I'm terrified.

The bulb went in my upstairs toilet in the new, old house last night. The ceiling is 10 feet (about 3 metres) high, so I had to stand on the top platform of a 5 step stepladder to change it.

I wouldn't say I was terrified, but I was extremely nervous! 

I was glad of the handrail above the platform...

Omg

You didn't actually stand on the top?!    That's strictly for paint cans or tools! You're turning into Gary.

I did.  

Does that make me a tool?

('Cos I'm certainly not a paint can.  )

That top "step" is actually called a "paint shelf", used for holding any equipment you might need. Unlike the other steps, it isn't built to hold the weight of a person.
