Kiwi - think I'll do my HHG later too. What's the temp at your place?? I'm picking 29 here - will see what the TV says tonight LOL.

It says 29.5 degrees on my bedroom clock and I have had the curtains and blinds closed, two big fans going, with only windows open on the shadier rooms. I couldn't say how warm the kitchen is, I have the oven on with lemon meringue baking. :eek: Weather man will say 24. :rotfl:

ETA: Metservice says it's 27 in Auckland and 28 tomorrow, so you can add about 5 degrees to that for the real temperature. Shame it doesn't seem to work the same in the winter.

DeniseNZ

They say we've got 27 today and 33 tomorrow!!!

Right, I've been out and bought a soaker hose, some lettuce plants, cascading lobelia plants, insect spray dispenser, carrot seeds and pineapple lumps . . . don't know how they got there . . . so I'm off for my HHG right now

Hi Denise :wave: and Kiwi :wave:

I'm up and awake, very unusual for me, this time of night normally sees me snoring!

Just had some hot chocolate in an attempt to get back to sleep :rolleyes:

It's hard to imagine you guys being so hot. It's bloomin freezing here! -3 where I am! :eek:

ETA : ooooo that cocoa's worked. ~~~~~Eyes feeling heavy now! Night night.

Hope you've managed to get back to sleep, Sarah.

I see the images of snow and wish I was where you are!!! LOL

HHG is completed. Got soak hose going, planted lettuce, carrot seeds and lobelia. Dead headed some of my penstemons. Have tomatoes to pick soon, and will put them in the freezer until I have more time to make something with them

Night, night Sarah

DeniseNZ If you plant the Pineapple Lumps, you never know you might grow Pineapples? Shame we can't actually grow them, in the UK we used to cut the tops off of Pineapples and leave them in water til they formed roots. Can't do that here, it took me ages to figure out why the pineapples were sold without the tops on.

I did 2 x HHG and got OH to do half hour too. Still it's just a drop in the ocean and one hour's frantic weed pulling gets us nowhere. They grow so fast and I don't think we're making much impression. Will have another go tomorrow.

Morning All

You lot did some talking yesterday - it's taken ages for me to catch up and now I can't remember anything!

Mudbath - pleased to hear you dad's appointment went well.

Kids are coming home about 10 - I got up at 5 and all I've done so far is caught up on here! Wondering about going to have another lie down now though - I got up to dose myself up again as I'd got a banging head.

Hugs to all

Jue

Morning everyone

Welcome Domino Sue and Weezl
Mudders - that's tragic about the alcohol - Greenbee's strategy I think is a good one! I shall keep checking just to see'f I'm still OK with it...
Rach - hope the dinner goes well tonight
Lil-me - enjoy your night out!
Gryfon, you're doing well
Denise and Kiwi - sending you nice frozen ice lollies to keep you cool - and what's the problem with growing pineapples?
Greenbee - best of luck with the driving tonight.

Ended up going to bed ridiculously early for a Friday night (about 9.30pm!). I was suddenly really, really pooped. I think the stress of the drive home took more out of me than I realised. My clutch knee is aching quite badly this morning. Neither of them have recovered properly from all that up and down with the tiling last weekend yet.

Today, I'm determined to get at least one star from the lists! My personal tasks also include:

• Email agent
• Update website
• Shopping
• Accounts
• Finish Kick plates

So, I have stacks to do. I shall finish this cup of tea, jump in the bath then go do it!

oh my, another bad night - this time oh's fault [grrrrr]
he kept shifting about and got up and back again and is rather like an elephant!!! [sigh]

at least kids slept well - dd had a temp yesterday but seems fine now!

AND i come down and find the downstairs toilet/utilit room covered tools?!?!?!?!?!?!? my first thought was to stomp upstairs and wake oh and demand to put it all away .... but [deep breath] since i can obviously mindread i guess it's for putting the toilet in later?!?!? [another deep breath]

haven't done anything yet, well kids and i are fed.
and i've decided to have a rather easy weekend




wow Gryfon, that's some list!!!!! and as you can see on your kitchen, it DOES work. slow and steady

Denise i love the sounds of your 'blues, brews and bbq'!!!

Kiwi at least you've started the weeding!! a few more hhg and you'll be there!!
