What has been your highlight today, no matter how big or small? Come share 🫶

@AlwaysMyself Hello 🙂 How are you? You’re gonna have a heap of tags when you are back. We won’t forget you and look forward to seeing some animal photos of your travels. I’m really happy you’re going to get a good break and travel overseas.

Yes it’s hard with my relationship with my sister. It’s similar to yours in that my disabilities frustrate her and she’s not a warm sort of person like me. I do miss her and hope things might one day improve and we can be in communication again.

@PeppyPattiAs if Koo Stark wasn’t enough.

The British royal family has historically practiced royal intermarriage to maintain power and wealth.

Yes Peps, the Royals are cashed-up and inbred.
The lack of genetic diversity due to marrying within a small pool of noble families lead to hereditary conditions, like the Habsburg jawline and forehead.

@TAB in 5 years I’ve never had a problem. My Tenon saw is my right hand.

@PeppyPatti who’s Virginia Guiffre?

Thank you @heartathome . Waiting for painter to show up. Yes sunflowers are lovely and so easy to grow. I put in lots of them. No gardening today. It is sunny but cold. Was horrible yesterday so I had a lazy day. No gardening today apart from watering some seeds under eaves. Just feel lazy and tired.

Hoping painter shows up on time at 11.30 or earlier so I can eat before I go to my friend’s place Will also have a coffee if time. Might have to leave dishes see how long lunch and coffee takes.

I hope you are having a good day.

@DownMoreThanUp aww that's so lovely that she didn't want you to miss the blood moon. your wife did an excellent job at capturing it!! 😊

@Chasingsunsets that's so cool! do you have a bird bucketlist or something? i imagine you've seen quite a few different ones, would be cool to document them with your pics!

@AlwaysMyself HAVE FUNNNN!! can't wait to hear how it goes 💙

@Glisten You are so right about all that. Did you know the Egyptian Pharaohs did very much the same thing. Their blood linage also suffered greatly from such inbreeding apparently.

I only have scissors @Glisten

@GezzaP I hope the painter shows up on time and you get lunch and a cuppa in before you meet your friend. Is she Spanish?

I think the rain is coming up here as we have rain predicted all next week.

I'm going to Kingscliff (on the Gold Coast) to see my partner of over 22 years on Saturday. He's a hoarder and I have OCD so I don't know how we'll go spending 10 days together! 😄

The painter showed up on time right

on the dot! @heartathome So I was able to have lunch, a cuppa and do the dishes.

My friend is from Argentina. I have visited there with her including the small town near the Andes Mountains where she comes from. Haven’t seen her for ages. Puss has joined me to catch up on the forum messages.

Oh I hope you cope ok with the hoarding and have a great time.

It is a cool sunny day here today. Hope tomorrow is clear so I can garden. I find it very therapeutic. If not I’ll just have a lazy day.
