3 hours, 3 long hot sweaty hours… no power at my place due to a fallen tree branch. So hot that trees are shedding branches Still waiting for the repair team to turn up. 6pm now, only an hour and bit of light left. I do hope they turn up. The branch isn’t that big… if it wasn’t for the live 240V power line, I would have cleaned it up but no I wait, patiently, for someone to help… Yes Clo, even the trees in Australia get angry enough to throw huge branches at you.

That’s great news. Keeping fingers crossed for a full recovery

No not yet, the training course is a refresher, hopefully it will help

Hi everyone I am trying to get my sleep patterns into some sort of order but don’t seem to be succeeding. Not sure I want to start snoring in the middle of the training course I’m doing on Thursday and Friday

Hi there Gary I was worried Clo would apply hand sanitizer and then use Albert touch to cauterize the wound - I didn’t hear any explosions so I guess that’s good news

Hey Page Hows the family going?

DO NOT FOLLOW BOTH BITS OF ADVICE

Ouch, just make sure it’s clean. I have some extra wide bandaids for those sorts of oops, definitely check in with the pharmacy if you don’t have anything at home to make sure it’s clean

Should have put the aircon on but it wasn’t hot just so humid
-
Hello young Albert Stinky humid here Cant sleep
-
Good night Terry. I'm thinking it might be time for some beauty sleep here
-
Hello young Albert not a bad day today, toasty but ok inside. I didn’t even turn on the aircon. I got a few messages that parcels I was expecting have been delayed but nothing really important. Floods have damaged the rail service with the east so everything is back up a little 🤷♂️ How about you and your beloved?

Keeping fingers crossed for your nephew. Many many impolite things to say about the bullies.

Yes please

Soup is one of my favourite winter things

She bugs Drew a lot but I don’t think that counts

Definitely time for bed Clo, I will see if I have any other deadly plant stories for you. Everything is out to get you here
-
Thai, Vietnamese, a lot of the SE Asian foods have the emphasis on fresh. It’s great we get to enjoy it here too

While Drew plays games with glitter nukes, we have our own biological warfare going on. The group of plants known as Poisons are naturally full of 1080, a deadly toxin. There a couple of nature reserves that are surrounded by sheep corpses, the plants are so deadly that the sheep nibble on the leaves and die. Not good for people either. Pretty members of the pea family but definitely not for eating.

Ask Albert about the Sundew family of flowers. Covered in glistening droplets capturing the light and looking so pretty… except the glistening droplets are actually digestive fluids and slowly dissolve the insects caught in the trap. Hey we have very poor soils and a plant has to do what a plant has to do to get some nutrients.

You beat me to it

Mostly chilling and writing job applications Dad is back home Two out of three fires are out It has been low 30s here the last few days, very nice Back to 40C tomorrow I have booked lunch on Sunday with friends from work The restaurant has its own huge vegetable garden. They only provide a sample menu because it depends on what’s in season.

Hello to anyone else hanging around on a Tuesday. Not much left of it for Terry and I. Have a great day… and don’t forget the bins tomorrow morning
