Morning, bro (and everyone else) 

Overcast and dry here, at the moment, but showers promised for later in the day. Currently 15°C/59°F with a possible high of 19/66.

Got a Zoom meeting starting in 5 minutes time, and then meeting some friends for a socially distanced lunch.

Hope you all have a good day.  

Morning, bro.

Aloha Gary how are you

There is something quite fundamental about having good air to breathe

So true... reminds me of an old song by The Hollies, released in when I was twenty (1974)... Evening, bucket bro.

I don't notice them as much during the day anymore... but I do in the evening and during the night. Morning, bro.  

Well that's improvement. Maybe being tired at the end-of-day has some effect on seeing them in the evening and night.

Or maybe I'm getting used to them. My new floaters are still right in the center of my left eye's vision, but I am more used to it now. It makes my vision blurry, and I have to blink a lot, but I'm adapting... I think....

Every day's a struggle, bro, but I'm digging my way out.   Trying to stay active and productive. I'm about to pass out (  )  but my lawns are mowed... too hot to do the paddock, but I did it a week ago so it's not too bad. I'm going to leave the painting (white) to another day. We are getting another heatwave over the next week... not that the last one ever left.  

[Albert1434]

Were still having our heat wave which has been going on for weeks now

I actually managed to get my lawns mowed yesterday afternoon, as the promised showers didn't arrive until the evening.  If the weather forecast is correct (which I'm hoping it won't be) it looks as though the next week is going to struggle to get above 16C/61F here any day, with spells of rain or showers most days, and hardly any sun.  Doesn't sound as though I shall get much garden work done, so I'll just have to try and motivate myself to get on with the wallpaper stripping, etc, indoors...

Anyway, it's Friday, so here's my week 17 (of 52) black & white photograph of two young male strippers in my bedroom last Tuesday:

I wish I could turn my air conditioning off and snuggle under a blanket for one night... oh well... those nights are coming.

On a good note, my two pepper plants are finally producing fruit.   

[Albert1434]

Nice 

[Albert1434]

What kind of peppers Gary?

OMG! I love all the wood mouldings! Especially the ceilings and windows... your home is beautiful, Marty! The strippers are nice too.

Sweet green peppers. The plants themselves are really attractive.  

[Albert1434]

Bells dont grow here very well but we have other peppers

[Albert1434]

Pity I can't use more than one emoticon for that post.

I used "Love" because I also love many of the features of the new, old house as well.

But I also wanted to use "Laugh" because of your final comment.

Maybe I should just point out that the two lads are both quite young. Indeed I have a birthday cake baked and waiting to be decorated for the 16th birthday in a few days time for the one on the ladder. They were basically sent down to help me by their parents, who just wanted them out of the house because, since the lockdown, they tend to spend most days sitting in front of their screens playing on the X-Box. The Government promised today that schools will definitely reopen in September for the first time since 12th March last. Parents are happy - but many kids (including those two) not so happy.  

They're good kids, though. Not a word of complaint each time they've helped me in the house. And really hard workers.
