Hello young Albert

Good here, doing a phone meeting with HR and then heading into work.

I need to ring Dad to see how he is settling in but the new place has a nice courtyard outside his room. The landscaping is a bit new but it should be beautiful in a few months time as the warmer weather comes along.

 

Those beer can burgers were huge on the video. Looked good but massive

I think the better word is vast!

[Albert1434]

You got to love this

I can totally see Clo doing this    

 that's so cool! Dad would have an aneurysm! Remember the bottles garlands? Well he thought it looked like a recycling center or a dump and all the cup planters on the terrace garden drive him crazy

Yesterday will be the last steak and salad day for a while  

cold and wet now

Time for us up there to get some sun and heat. You can have soups for a little while it's good for the health

Almost 6am here. Dad has just gotten home from a night job (they had to turned off water for a whole village and so wait nighttime to work on and around the big pipes).

The hitch from the mosquito bites I got last night while I was watering the garden woke me up. Those nasty buggers got me good: inside of my wrists and elbows, all along the forearms, back of my knees and even inside my tights! I'll try to catch more zzz

You are no fun at all  

Well, I'd expect Gary to look. 

And my original don't get too close to him comment was because I was thinking of Gary's safety in the light of the current pandemic, and had nothing to do with me being jealous, or just not wanting Gary to have some fun himself.

I may be a wizzendammer (or whatever the word was that Albert used), but I'm not a killjoy.

Well the burgers are so good but a hell of a lot to eat

You almost sound surprised!

I had a similar problem with the midges (as we tend to call mosquitos over here in Ireland) a few evenings ago, when I was planting out the runner bean seedlings. Fortunately, for me, the itching tends to go away after an hour or so. 

But how on earth did they manage to get inside your tights!

Happy Thursday, all. 

Beautiful day here. Currently 20°C (68°F) with a high of 24 (75) promised. And the forecast suggests this could continue into the early days of next week.  

Might make removing the roots of those old bushes a bit more difficult. Yesterday I managed to get another one out, and made a start on a second one. That second one is proving a bit more awkward, but I'll get the bugger out eventually. Might leave it till late evening though, when the day will hopefully have cooled down a little; and there will be shade to work in as well. I'll probably take it easy for much of the day. I'm thinking of mowing the lawn, and maybe preparing a few seed beds for broad beans and peas. And, if the day gets too hot, I could always head indoors and perhaps wash down some of the woodwork..

I've almost finished my second coffee, so I'll head out and actually face the day shortly.

It's hot. I was wearing shorts that are a bit wide around the legs 🤷🏻‍♀️

But I thought they are called tights because they are tight fitting...

I mean the inside of my tights as the top part of my legs near my crotch not the garment. I don't wear tights under a short  fashion faux pas!

BTW good morning Marty

Good morning, clo.  

[dughlas]

G'day y'all. It's overcast and warm, 75/24° with 100% humidity. The storm yesterday left us stuck in a tropical airmass until the weekend. Don't plan on doing much as my head is still being problematic.

Stay in the shade, or stay inside with the AC, bro.

Good morning/evening, all!   Satellite guy didn't come yesterday so I guess I'll have to make a phone call if I don't hear from him in the next hour or so. No sun today... still feels warm and muggy, though.

Hey, Albert!

Hope you had a good night's sleep, and didn't suffer any nightmares with all that food in your belly...
