why can't I cope longer?

Hi @Emelia8 , beer turned into beers, Cold one was nice, but the third one tipped most of out, Pool was nice when first got in, Chatted with neighbours that joined, then made excuses to leave.

I like being alone most of the time, sorry to read about your hot water 💦, could you ask a neighbour to help today, or just turn up at there door, with your towel and stuff, most people are nice, thats what I need to believe anyway, good luck my friend, hope today is OK.

Sounds like you've had a very productive start to your day @Former-Member 👍💕

Yes thats right ... no hot water, so I discovered when I turned on the taps in the shower yesterday afternoon. 😔

Need to get onto a plumber tomorrow, or at least try to. Not a good time to be getting a tradie in.

Yes I recall when I used to light the fire under the big old copper in the laundry to heat up bath water for our Sunday baths. One of us kids after the other in the bath, all clean for school the next morning. We have things so easy these days in some respects dont we, compared to the old days?

Sorry to hear your green ant bite is still troublesome. Ice will help hopefully. Your cooler day today sounds bliss. We are expecting a hot day today, but storms to come through late arvo to bring in a cooler change. Bring it on!

I really hope that you can make that orchid thrive EOR. I have a couple of orchids in my garden around my fish pond. They are quite hardy, and have been doing well for years. They are in a very sheltered spot and seem to love it.

Off to watch a bit of cricket over a cuppa now. Catch you later.

Lovely to read such a positive post @Former-Member and will be interested to see how your orchid goes. They are beautiful plants and I am too going to take @Adge 's advice and get another one soon. I can move a plant in the kitchen where there is filtered light from the window and see if it survives there. 👍

That greenant bite sounds annoying and painful still - hope the ice helped and it eases soon. I am allergic to mosquitoes so any bite from them causes a lot of itching, swelling and pain - I have medication to take but also need ice to help reduce the itching and swelling.

I hope your headache and back pain reduce today Hon - neither is easy to live with I had both yesterday too along with more tooth pain but spent most of the day on the couch either asleep or resting ...and had pain killers to help so today feeling much better. Might even get myself up and do a few things also later. The rain has stopped, the sun is out but it is not too warm so a good day to be outside and do some of those things in the garden that need doing ...see how I feel later though - don't want to over do it.

Hugs and hugs to you and @Adge @Eve7 @Clawde and anyone else visiting here

I have a little orchid on the bathroom window sill which flowers every year and I have one outside which has a lovely yellow flower.

Unfortunately, I can’t remember the name of either.

Off to meet Bluey and Bingo 🤞

Have a lovely day.

@Zoe7 @Former-Member

Oh the kids at school LOVE Bluey @Eve7 (and so do I ) Enjoy your day Hon - sounds like it will be fun

@Zoe7

Oh dear @Eve7 waiting for the triangle to disappear - doing me a frustrate lol

Oh Bluey and Bingo from today @Eve7 - very cool ...thank youfor allowing me to enjoy a piece of your day with you

Master 5 was sooo excited and even wore his Bluey undies @Zoe7 It was quite pleasant inside during the show due to social distancing. Miss 3 was hoping to see Emma Wiggle but still enjoyed Bluey.

I was banned from the big Redcar due to my wrist being in a cast!!
