Exo's Exposé

Exo's Exposé

Looking for somewhere to hide in the Forum, no offense to anyone, I'm just kinda used to my own space - it feels safer to me. I often feel like I'm 'butting in' on other threads, I want to say something but it isn't 'in-line' with the current flow of conversation.

It rained here yesterday, dogs & cats weren't falling from the sky, but the grounds wet, there's puddles in my driveway & it's soooooooo sooooooo much cooler 😄 Guru Google even promises more!! After this weird wet stuff stopped dropping from above, I took the dogs for their walk, I do this almost every afternoon, but after a storm with close lightning strikes, my main purpose is to check the fence is still upright everywhere. I'm happy to announce it was all in tip-top shape 🙂 I noticed new puddle spots all the way around, I was sad that some trees had to be pushed over for the fence line, but the dip of their absence looks quite beautiful with a drop of moisture shimmering within. When I had completed the usual circuit I by-passed returning into the house-yard & wandered through to the dam. I think I may have been a little rain-drunk, I was hoping to see water in it, there wasn't any. I even went & stood in the very center of it's base, I think I was expecting to sink in mud - I didn't; but the cracks are gone . . . & they were huge. So if the Guru comes through with it's promise, there may yet be a puddle for my Staffy to play in 😉

I've decided to leave my camping trip to the beach for another week, rain wouldn't stop me - it rarely rains 24 hrs a day, but storms have - they often have devastingly strong winds that can break off & pick up reasonably heavy objects, that become dangerous ammunition. I've been emailing with the owners of this place, I'll still be in the off-peak season if I leave it another week - though I worry being so close to the Easter holiday, there's a more likely chance of more people. I keep telling myself I've just got to 'get over' that, that that would be all part of the experience - but I know I'm lying to myself. I picked this spot mainly because of the dog-friendly off-lead beach, but also because on the satelite view of Google maps I could see that there's no towns around it. It's one of the most isolated camping parks I've seen {that's within 5 hours of home, well - maybe just a little more}. It also admits it has old amenities, I saw negitive feedback about the place for those reasons - I think if you want to go to a resort . . . that's where you go - not to a place that describes itself as a rustic, old fashioned bush camping park 😉

Missing you Mazy Loads of love & support @Mazarita

Re: Exo's Exposé

I have water, with pressure, coming out of the hose in the kitchen & the bathroom!!:) Woo Hoo, I won't have to spend a greater portion of my day having to deal with water! 🙂 It's all fixed! . . . well sort of. I had to by-pass the inline filter, I think the rubber washers/grommets {whatever they're called} are had it. I will get another, but for now the water is working 🙂 I'd had enough of playing camp water 😄 I did put off going out to do it, 'cause just the thought of it made me tired. There wasn't any heavy lifting involved or anything really physical; it was just knowing how much up & down from sitting to standing, in & out from the shed to the tank to the solar set up & getting my body into the postions to access the screws & clamps & so on. But it's done & I'm glad, but it did bugger me out; in fact I had & still have a bit of nausea. It was hot & I did sweat like a pig & my appetite isn't very strong {it never is} [guess I should have another glass of Sustagen @outlander 😉 ]. I'm going into town today to get . . . whatever I want to eat . . . problem is I often can't come up with anything that I want! It has to be something light & I want it to be fresh, I've lived on cupboard food for a couple of weeks while I couldn't drive. I'll pop into the library while I'm there, I took out a series with 5 or 6 DVDs in it . . . but I've already seen them :l So I'll finish this up, do some excercises {I won't do them whilst worshipping the sun this morning, it's too hot, the radition intensity is too high! I'll have to swap to late afternoon sun worshipping 😉 }, get dressed & head in.

Love to all that need or want it

Glad you sorted the water. You really are amazing. Many could not. Especially not I .... You are how I would have liked to be ... but I am just not up to much climbing and craning at things with my neck.

Great idea about the library. I love the library ... thats what I'll do tomorrow. Havent been in ages.

Great to hear from you.

hello @Exoplanet

Sorry that I haven't been here for you...

I take time off and come back and try to reply to everyone..then I need to get off of the computer..

head space is not the best at the moment..

I thought that I had checked in with you and I hadn't...

I also am checking in with people in real life and think becoming confused..

why am I not surprised that you are again fixing something that is way out of my league.

laughed about the sustagen..well said @outlander

I was put on that when I was 17 after having glandular fever and then back at work down with tonsilitis..

In those situations and yours if you are only eating cupboard food it is a very good support system.

what are you noticing the most now that you are back home in your sanctuary with your furry family? what part of your property gives you a feeling of serenity?

I have a heritage tree on our land where we are still in process of building..this will be the first place I truly hope where I will feel that I have found home...

I have such a strong affinity to nature ...trees and water in particular...

take care @Exoplanet even though you are working like a tradesperson laugh

💚💛💜

Hello @Sophia1 Heart

It's soooo good to hear from you Heart Though you have nothing to be sorry about!

You have & always are, here for me & I know it, with certainty! Heart As I will always

be here for you ❤️

I hope the space in you head calms soon Heart & if knowing that I'm thrilled whenever

you are able to 'check in' makes you feel better . . . I'm glad help, because I am Heart

What am I noticing the most now that I am back home in my sanctuary with

my furry family? - Contentment Heart a new appreciation of everything I have here,

but especially the fences, the freedom for my puppies . . . & me Smiley Very Happy

What part of my property gives me a feeling of serenity? - all of it, everything inside

my wonderful fences Smiley Happy but especially the boundary line that we walk every day Smiley Happy

I hope you strong affinity to nature, especially the heritage tree, will give you that

that feeling of 'home'. That tree defied all the odds & was not knocked down, it has

ancient roots anchoring it solidly in it's position. I believe it will share it's strength

with you & welcome you Heart

Lots of love from the Tradie Smiley Very Happy

[I thought I'd replied to you Sophia, but it seems nutritional suppliments are outside the guidelines, same as medications . . . it's all good 🙂 - so I took that line out 😉 I'm heading into the city for a hospital appointment today, so I'm not fixing the smiley faces up, just wanted to make sure you know I'm thinking of you]
