Hi, Gary! Today is promised to be the warmest of the week. Expected to drop back down to the mid teens (C) over the next few days or so.
-
Just after 3pm here, and the temperature's climbed a couple of degrees to 21°C (70°F). Fortunately the humidity's only 51%, and there's still no sign of any thunderstorms. In other news, the estate agent (realtor) through whom I bought the house has finally taken down the For Sale sign on the front wall. It was too high for me to consider climbing up a ladder to remove. The sale was finalised on 2nd October last year, almost 9 months ago. I think it may have been me telling him at the weekend that I was thinking of invoicing him for the nine months of advertising space that prompted him to make good on his many promises to take it down...

Hi, Albert!
-
Morning, all! Not too bad of a day here, following the first dry day for a while yesterday. Currently about 19°C (66°F) with hardly any wind, although there is a forecast risk of the odd thunderstorm. Expecting a phone call from my builder sometime today. Hopefully that means that he will be able to get on with some of the outstanding work in the near future.

And, because I've had a really busy day, culminating in a Zoom meeting from 7pm to 9pm, I have just rung the local chip shop and asked them to prepare fish and chips for me. I shall collect it in 10 minutes. Double yum!
-
Hi, young Albert! And, as my way of saying thank you....
-
Hi, Page! (As for your question... I dunno )
-
Hey, Gary!
-
And there's an English saying that goes something like this: "The little fish taste the sweetest."
-
Hmmm... Surely it's the taste that counts?
-
I noticed that as well...
-
And I hear that snake meat is very tasty

Hi, Albert.

Hi, clo! Expect to be maybe finding other things that you mum has secreted away. When my mother died 16 years ago, we found some of the most interesting (and some of them real memory-jerking) things in, and under, drawers, inside boxes in various cupboards, and various other places in the few weeks it took us to slowly empty out her apartment. Amongst the strangest was seven or eight envelopes (some of them in the oddest of places) each containing exactly the amount of cash that she was receiving as her weekly old age pension at the time. And every time we turned up something new would be time for the tears to start again. But usually they were good tears; because the memories were happy ones.

G'day, dug! Doing okay here, thanks. Hope you're surviving the heat and humidity.

Hello, young Albert! Hi, Gary! --------- Cool day here, with plenty of showers. Just the occasional spot of sunshine. Been busy moving things from rented house. I am eventually going to be busy sorting through crates and boxes of belongings, and deciding what to keep and what to eventually get rid of...
-
I don't believe you, Albert! Stop trying to blame the poor dog.
-
Hi, Page.
-
He's more than just a piece of meat, bro... He looks as though he could be put to some productive work, as well. (And yes: That was your out loud voice.)
-
Not even the gobbledygook?
-
Okay. Reckon it must all be Gary's fault, so.
-
I used the Laugh emoticon for that third attempt, bro, because all I got was the gobbledygook again. [EDIT] I just went back and checked. I can still see the photo from the second time you posted it.
-
And I could find a few jobs for him. (If he ever gets his lazy ass out of bed...)
-
Still using the same PC, laptop, smartphone, Val? I was wondering if it's because I'm still using Windows 8.1. I know some of the emoticons that people using Windows 10 use, only show up as icons on my Windows 8.1 laptop...

Would you prefer it if I were to comment on just how debonair, dashing, and handsome you look in the photo, Gary, instead of using the word beautiful to describe you?
