Male or female?

How very sexist of you! Most of us can appreciate beauty in all its forms, and surely the only relevant question is "How competent is their frond-waving?"

my quess would be females

of course there nothing wrong with that if he hires males

We actually have a couple of those but he doesn't like them because (a) you can't fit enough on them, (b) he doesn't really have enough "lap" {he does - it's just that his belly takes up all the room}, and (c) if he needs to get up to get another Corona (because I won't do it for him and the pool boy won't because he only takes orders from me), then you have to put the Stable Table somewhere safe so the lurking, chop-loving moodle doesn't get at it while you're at the fridge.

It's a pity that a man who often makes lesser mortals quake in their boots has been completely undone by one small, slightly naughty, dog.

i think i spoke to soon about Adelaide not having any summer yet

 

35 today. 39 wednesday, 41 thursday and 42 friday

Marina, another option is a fold-away small table, like a card table style...just for the Cricket season.

Camping places, garden centres and the like may have something suitable.

It's going to be appallingly hot here too for a couple of days...sigh.

Melbourne usually gets Adelaide's weather so we're forecast 40 on Thursday -    I'd love some 30s but not 40s thanks.  At least I'll get to use my new aircon.  

I checked weather on-line earlier,  cool change coming through.   Says only 22 on Thursday in Melb.    Could be wrong though - wouldn't be the first time

that would be right, they're always changing it here in Melbourne.   Must say I'd not like 40.  

It's Melbourne.   If you don't like the weather - wait a minute. Hahahahaha

Thank you for your kind suggestions, but I am not so kind, and secretly enjoy the comic drama of a small dog having the drop on a big man. He's currently enjoying a reprieve because we are holidaying in Noosa, and the dog is in the boarding kennels. 

 

If I was even less kind, I would point out the absolute perfection of the weather here at the moment, but I wouldn't want to upset anyone.

 

Marina.
