the nothing ,anything ,everything thread

This is a thread with no particular

Topic so no one can be off topic 🙂

 

So if anyone out there has something 

To say about anything you like now

Is your chance

 

Keep it clean 

 

And be nice 

 

See how long that lasts

 

Can we keep politics and religion out 

Of the conversation

It's a busy day, here, today... ha ha...

We're all poised to see if the mercury gets over 40....

If it does, that'll be four consecutive days in a row (that's what the man on the news said, ha ha) of temperatures over 40, and that'll be a new record for Canberra... Whoopee! ha ha.

That tremor, up the road... It hit mid morning, 10 ish... The usual loud Bang, and that was about it... ha ha.

The house didn't shake, and nothing fell off the shelves, although I felt a slight sensation, the local dogs, and the birds, didn't seem to register it, so I don't think it was that big a deal, to them... ha ha.

Things which rate as big deals happen locally... ha ha.

The "Big Event" came a bit after midday...

Mum possum got up to have a drink....

Which means she could be seen by the birds...

Which meant one sharp shriek from a cockatoo, and clatter of "We don't like it, We're not happy" from the wattlebirds...

Which she duly ignored... ha ha...

I think the radar up at Sydney's suffering bit of a glitch, at the moment...

Every so often there's a "broken windscreen wiper" effect - a bar will appear on the screen, then hop, then disappear...

It's a bit odd, but it's not taking away from my enjoyment of the weather, ha ha.

I could have driven home last night, the twenty minutes or so necessary, with my lights off, the road ahead, and the sky above illuminated by the lightning show that brewed in the heavens...

It was bright enough, and sufficiently constant...

It might not have been "severe" enough to be mentioned in the BoM's paperwork, but it was quite the show, all the same...

A day high of 40.1...

We might just have made it over the line!

It could be a new Record! 

 

And that's about as excited about it as I'm going to get... ha ha

Hope you're keeping hydrated, Ecar.

 

 

Both you and the birdies.

The birds are doing fine, Stawks...

Of course sometimes they have to "slum it" and drink from containers other than "their" containers... Eew! The birdbath? But the sparrows drink from the birdbath... ha ha. 

Nah, they're doing okay... ha ha.

I'm doing okay, too...  ha ha...

I've got my Canadian made iceblocks "I can't believe they're not Zooper Doopers!", and I even bought myself a bottle of lime cordial, not that I can remember where I put it, ha ha.

A search might be on the cards... it's only a small kitchen, but I don't want to venture too far from That mark on the floor, or I might encounter a spider! ha ha.

 

This heatwave should be, if not over, then somewhat reduced in the coming days...

But don't take that as an excuse to go outside and start gardening as if there's no tomorrow, okay?

Take a leaf out of Richo's book... Put the inflatable kiddy's wading pool under a tree, in the shade, fill it with ice and VBs, then sit in it and wave at the neighbours as they go past... ha ha.

I made a green and yellow, well, as green and yellow as I could, ha ha, companion for the dragonfly out the front...

As to whether or not it'll be impressed, I don't know... ha ha.

The "Body", head to tail is about 2 1/2 inch long, just to give you an idea of scale...

 

In the hunt for the right cord I found some other pieces of cord, and I reckon I've got enough to make another couple of dragonflies, but I'll see how I go... ha ha.

It's the old story... I've plenty of things to occupy my time, and the last thing I need is to find more things to occupy my time, and then I keep on finding new things... ha ha.

 

 

🙂
