Took advantage of the sun, and no rain to go do some weeding. Filled up the metal bucket, then dumped it into the composting bin. It's about 1/3 full now. The avocado tree is thriving, as is the Lilipilly. The lime tree has two more ripe limes about the size of a tennis ball, with 4 more growing.
Nigel from CatMax got back to me. He will be here next Friday, the 11th. We will be getting a "Cat Caboodle" so Ziggy can go outside, but still be enclosed. Can't have her getting loose again.
After having my computer shut itself down a few times, I decided to do a wee bit of research. It seems that it's a safety 'feature'. If the computer is in danger of overheating, it will close current program and shut off. As much as I think this is a good thing, as a fried computer isn't something I want, a little warning would be nice.
So, as a preventative, since my laptop is on I have an Alto stand and one of the vents is covered, I put 1 empty SD card case under each corner of the laptop, and have a small clip on desk fan keeping the computer cool.
Tres nifty!
I'm not saying this because I want people to go Ooo Ahh. It's just a statement of fact. It's a finger width away from the backs of my knees.
The reason I mention this fact because for some odd reason, if I have it 'loose' (ie not braided or in a bun) why is it some people seem to think it's a toy for their amusement? Is there some sort of law out there, an unwritten rule that allows you to do this?
How would you like it if I suddenly walked up behind you, and started playing with your hair? Invading your personal space? Do not go grabbing my hair, parting it, separating it, and rolling it up in the palms of your hands, thereby tangling it. Next time I might not be so polite.
Well, archery was a bust today, as Aikidomayland forgot that because of the Perth "City to Surf" fun run, that the archery range would be cut off from traffic. Not all was lost, as we went to Hardly Normal errr Harvey Norman, and replaced the the blender with the cracked jug with a nice heavy duty one.
Came home, installed some new games, surfed the net to make sure we had all the updated drivers, and to keep abreast of any updates.
Went to pick up mother in law, An, for Sunday coffee, and to show her how to press the buttons on the mobile phone so she could read messages. As we get out of the car, and An looks at me... stares really. I look down to see if I had spilled something on the front of my shirt (long sleeved t-shirt, wht the moon on it). She comes up to me and says (I kid you not) "That image, that moon, it has a 3D aspect."
*boggle* "Uhh, .. huh?"
She gestured towards my bust line, and said "This shirt looks too 3D, you should rethink wearing it."
That's right, people. My mother in law has decided I am too well endowed. Now go back and re-read this for all the hidden clues.
Went out with Jean, Un-son, Robin's mom. She was in search of a new sofa. I had gotten such good service from the BedShed on Norma road. We went in, and looked.. and waited... and waited. Had a salesman look right at us and walk away... and waited, and waited. We finally got fed up and just walked out. When we were back in her car, I called the number on the business card, and spoke politely, yet firmly with the manager. If one of them had said "Be right with you!" or even acknowleged our presence, we would have waited. Their loss.
So, went to Bunnings, and got some more weed killer, fly traps, and an avocado tree.
Then went to the BedShed on South Street. Talk about a 180 degree difference. We walked in, looked at a few things, test sat on some sofas, and then stood up. We hear a "You going ok?"
To make a long story short, old busted futon is on the curb for roadside household waste pick up, and a new sofa will be replacing it, as Aikidomayland agreed to. (And I quote "The next household waste pick up this year, we toss that broken futon, and replace ." He agreed)
My neck, shoulder and back are a bit angsty right now. Will be putting heat pack on it.
