I hear you Doug. I haven’t been to the Gap for weeks. Roadworks there too. Roadworks the other way to Samford also. Still deserted. :rolleyes: I come home up the Goat Track now to avoid the lights which take forever to change.

Goat track is a narrow winding dirt road, open only for going up. Don’t tell the cyclists and occasional car going down. Quite funny watching them try and hit the brakes and avoid a mouthful of admirable words from me.

And good evening

Rain will stop soon.

Morning all.

Somewhat better night….went to bed later than usual as Christine rang just before we ate. She had about 15lbs of raspberries,strawberries and blueberries picked that evening,so she came to eat as well.

Claire landed in Newcastle so home in couple of hours.

Good evening. Doug and Annie, we too have ongoing roadworks at the bottom of the hill. Actually it isn’t the road that is being worked on, it is the huge drain that Minippi creek runs through. The workmen are shoring up the sides with large rocks, because it get overgrown so quickly.

So I had my skin cancers seen to. The Dr put several injections of local anesthetic into my cheek. Grabbed the Diathermy after waiting for a good few minutes, and darn ouch. I jumped, she jumped, local did not work!! She wanted to put more in, and I said don’t worry just keep going. Hurt like billy-oh but done. Lucky they were small. Have more growing, so will go through this again sometime..:rolleyes: Wear a hat, wear sunscreen, wear UV protective clothing. It isn’t a matter of if it happens to you, according to my Dr it will.

I had a couple of chores afterwards, then home.

Tomorrow, I am going back to the Crystal Shop, taking my lovely friend from across the road. We will have coffee afterwards. Maybe, we should have coffee first .

Much love to all.. :heart::grouphug:

Geez JJ, she didn’t even use liquid nitrogen. Lol. Or too big send you to a surgeon. LA … stupid. Diathermy ….. head under pillow.

Syl, road workers will ensure access to your home.

At the end of a busy day but….
I have to have my last thing at night cuddle with Gary (cat lol), upside down in my arms like a baby. Only now I practise my line dancing with him like that, he loves it! Purrs loudly. Him not me. No video, you have to imagine it yourself lol

Good Morning!!

A lovely cool 10C right now, so good when the house gets a chance to cool down over night. Hot and humid again as the day progresses. Bright sunshine.

First thing I have to do is cut the grass while it is still cool. I haven’t decided on the rest of the day yet.

Scrabble ladies and I had a lovely time sitting in the park and listening to the concert yesterday evening. Afterwards we went to the Boathouse next to the river to have an ice cream cone:thumbsup: Temperature was perfect too.

Sharon, lovely photos!!

Geoff, smart lady, your Claire! Enjoy her arrival!

Steve, yes, Lisa must be soooo disappointed and frustrated. Sending more good wishes and :grouphug:

Darla, Did you take before and after pictures????? Yes, it must feel really good having achieved all the things you wanted to get done. You would have just been thinking about it all the time if you had taken a “real” holiday.

Lulu :thumbsup:

JJ, OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Annie and Doug, sorry about the road closures frustration.

Ellen, the words “stuff” and “daunting”, I know them only too well:D

to you Bill and Sylvia!!

Good Morning! I’m thoroughly enjoying the 18C temperatures sans humidity this morning. It won’t last, of course, but for now we have the house open to the fresh air.

Congratulations to the USA Ladies Soccer Team!

I’m going to make a run for strawberries this morning. I need to get my jam made because other vegetables and fruit will soon need my attention.

Darla, your accomplishments are terrific in the short amount of time you had to get them done! No wonder you were tired. McKenzie and Brittany took a working holiday and managed to get a lot done… it’s the first time they realized that they’re “adulting”.

Doug, unfortunately if we avoiding driving anywhere because of construction, we’d never drive anywhere! I hope it’s not too much of a challenge to get Ruth delivered to her Group.

Annie, that goat track sounds treacherous!

Wow, Geoff, that’s a lot of fruit! Welcome home Claire.

Not everyone appreciates their frankness, Bill.

JJ! What an awful experience. I do hope you don’t have many more that must be dealt with.

Sylvia, hopefully the roadwork will not take long!

Awh… sweet Gary. You do paint a charming image dancing with the cat.

Oh my gosh, Ellen, that camp sounds like so much fun!!! I hear ya with *stuff* and *daunting*.

Uschi, sounds like a really nice evening. Here in Chatham, we have various bands that perform in Tecumseh Park’s band shell. It’s a fun and free evening!

I’d better get things movin’ and groovin’ here. I want to get my work done before the house begins to heat up. Have yourselves a great day!
