Good Morning!

Hi everyone … early afternoon as it now is.

Was nice lazy Sunday morning. Bit of essential grocery shopping prior to having lunch. I’m not a sportsperson but wish good luck to everyone’s teams who are playing.

getting overcast and bit cool outside by now. Have 1 fur baby curled up on couch beside me already. Tossing up whether to work on drapes for my new home or to spend some time knitting. I’m part of online group that knit, crochet or sew items that we donate to be used by wildlife rescue groups

hoping everyone has nice sunday arvo

Couldn't you get an arborist that was insured? I've had trees taken down in the past. The last job had to be done by an uninsured mob and they broke my clothesline. Yes it must be a real concern but trees can fall plus root systems going everywhere. Don't know what to say @TAB but these jobs have to get done. What is someone like yourself supposed to do? These tradies can also rip people off. I've had a few try that with me let me tell you.

yeah I didnt question it at the start , but looking at one ad in particular looks very professional and this guy will be sort of winging it cos he is desperate for money .. if it works fine ,, but.. ok they said to get professional quote and they will go under it. my call then. if its 'only;' $1000-$1500 difference will get real people to do it. just not worth it. Risk. Reward. @Former-Member

Yes exactly @TAB. I would be the same. Once its out of the way you can rest easy. But yeah lots of people needing work right now. I hope the job gets done to your satisfaction. Have you thought about putting blinds on your exterior windows? Once the heat hits the window in summer it radiates right through the house. I just have bamboo blinds, they were affordable when I needed them. You may look into something else a bit more substantial but it does keep the heat out

ordered bamboo blinds @Former-Member not that cheap anymore , ok last bought 20 years ago, cant get from kmart anymore and reviews from Bunnings just disgusting, people saying lasted a week etc anyway went Spotlight they prob here tomorrow. also got three 8m long rolls of 2.4m wide cotton wadding fm them. free delivery. $100 off per roll ha ha .. its usually used for blinds/quilting; 90% cotton , going to put in ceiling over the top of batts ha ha lol , well or hang over windows if suitable

Sounds like a good day for you yesterday @TAB 🙂

Thats great @TAB I bought mine off of ebay and gumtree. They've lasted for years up until a year ago where one came off its hinge and the other's pulley system broke. But you may be in luck. It will definitely keep you cool. I had to have a carpenter instal a bridge over each window to attach the bamboo blinds to. Just be careful about trying to drill it onto existing window frames. Are you getting someone to install them for you?

yeah only realised that on reflection today @StuF

Yeah @Emelia8

It was a pretty good game, even in the weather. The Swans played well. Obviously their start was amazing.

Buddy finishing up in that fashion is a bit sad. But I think the positive is that there is no more distraction for the rest of the team...and we do have good players both established and newer on the scene.

As for the season from here, I guess we can still make the 8, but I don't know how deep we can go. Who knows? When they play their best footy they can match anyone

Hi @TAB had some good in my day early on. I went to a market and got some fresh/ cold air in and a walk around.

What has been good in your day ? 🤔
