Morning, Deb, I just posted on yesterday's morning cafe, so I guess I better post it again here....
Hey, Deb, how are you feeling tonight, is that crud getting any better and working its way out of your system? I am here for a little while, no proper work to do today, and it was a beautiful day, so I got stuck into cutting my monster hedge. Got one whole side of it done (it's about 80 or 90 feet long I guess, on the long side). Tomorrow I do the shorter side (about 25 feet maybe?) then I need to do all the inside and the top. If it doesn't rain, that is. But I am well and truly knackered!
My neighbour still hasn't turned up with any sheep to mow the lawn though, lol.
Yay for your Friday! Do you have anything nice planned for your weekend or just relaxing and throwing off that nasty cold? I am driving up the coast on Friday to have lunch with friends -- up KK's way, in fact, though my destination is further afield...
Evening ladies. Goodness me Jcat, that is one he** of a long hedge and a hard job trimming it back. You'll have muscles like a body builder by the time the job is done. I hope the weather is beautiful for your drive up the coast. we had a stunning day here too, I got heaps of things done out and about. I even got some shopping done and Airy and I bought a small train for $9 to run around the base of the Christmas tree.
Deb, I hope that crud is clearing away or at least easing some by now.

Evening, MS, aarrrgh, Christmas shopping, don't remind me, lol, when I'm going to get that done, I have no idea! It is a very long hedge, it goes on forever, but at least it is not very high. There are macrocarpa hedges further down the road that are about 20 foot high! I think people must get machines in to cut them.
I'm glad the hedge isn't very high, that way you don't have to climb a ladder with sharp objects, or do you?

Shhhhhhhh, no famous last words, we can't be tempting fate. Just make sure your ladder is well settled before climbing it.

Hi ladies. I couldn't sleep & thought of TDK so here I am.
Jcat...we had hedges similar to yours here & hated them. We finally tore them out bcuz they were harboring big,ugly spiders in the summer & they would breed like rabbits. We were afraid we'd wake up some morning in a giant coccoon spun by the ugly buggers. lol.
Good morning Feral, LOL about the spiders, you could write a horror story about that. Sorry you can't sleep but at least we're here to chat with. It's ten to midnight here and it's a warmish evening after a lovely hot day.

Hi, Susie, sorry you can't sleep. I do actually like my hedge (despite it's being privet, which brings on my hayfever), it keeps me nice and private and keeps out the wind and the traffic noise and it is a haven for wetas. I don't think I'd like it if it were full of big ugly spiders though, urrghhh! That would be a bit too much like being in an episode of the X Files -- and not in a good way.
Hi MS. Is it Thursday where your at? Aren't you a little ahead of us here If I remember right? I miss warm days. It's been burry cold here in Cali. The outdoor kits are even snuggling in their beds I made for them. Ms.Hissy & Naughty look headless when they're sleeping together. They tuck their heads under each other's bodies. lol.
Awwww, those kitties know how to snuggle up and keep warm. It is one minute to Thursday, Susie -- oh, there it goes, the time pips for midnight!
I like wetas. I DON'T like spiders, lol. They have way too many legs and eyes and they bite.
Poor Deb, she does that, they must be running her ragged in there tonight.
Ewwwwwwwwwww wetas, I really don't like them Jcat but I know you do. Someone has to. I'm battling ants this evening, guess there must be rain on the way as the nasty little things have invaded yet again. The last two times I managed to lay bait for them.

Feral, we are now in Thursday by a couple of minutes. Awwwwwww, Ms Hissy & Naughty certainly know how to keep warm. HRH Shadz came inside a while ago, nibbled at her biscuits and then raced upstairs and is probably curled up asleep on my bed. With any luck Airy will kidnap here and take her for the night.

D-Earth gets sprinkled around the outside perimeter & that seems to keep the ants from coming in. Every once in awhile a scout or 2 will make it in but...squish...& ant no more.
Our dishwasher just decided to die this past evening. Usless refuses to buy a new one so I guess I'll be washing dishes by hand again. And we've had a leak under the house in that same area (he refuses to get fixed as well). So now it's starting to leak into the floorboard.
All I can say to him is...Stupid is what Stupid does when his floor collapses some day. Shaking head at the real catch I got when I met him 27 yrs.ago.
Aargh, Miss Millie has woken up and is intent on destroying the computer and the desk, I may have to disappear. Nighty-night, MS, sleep well and sweet dreams and the same to you, Deb, when you get home. Scritches to Shadz and the Crew. Nighty-night, Susie, hope you can manage to get back to sleep tonight. Now Millie's trying to take a dive from my shoulder, silly kittie!
Ants are just a fact of life where I live Feral, I lay bait that they take back to the nest and that knocks their numbers for a while.
Sorry about the dishwasher giving up the ghost, I know what it's like doing dishes when you rather not. I've just got my first dishwasher in the last couple of weeks and I am enjoying not doing dishes.
Maybe Useless will realise he is well named when he falls through the floor.
Time for me to head to bed, I have an early start later this morning.
Sweet dreams Jcat and Deb and Feral, headbonks to all your furkits.
Nighty night and see you all in around 12 hours or so.

Hi Kilroy, sorry to post and run. I'll catch up with you later today. Way later. I'm headed for a soft pillow and a cat free bed(Airy has kidnapped Shadz for the night). You have a good day.

Dragging myself away from these horrible checks this evening.....still busier than he** right now....and no slowing down in sight....
So if I don't see anyone, Jan and Jane, hope you both sleep well and have sweet dreams, scritches and headbonks to HRH, Millie and Libs....
Morning to everyone else.....

Night-Night MS. I think I'm going to try & get back to sleep myself. Lacy gets started on her purring & it's hard to sleep w/a motor going in your ear.lol.
Kilroy...I read on the cafe thread. Best of the Best Luck to you on the possible job.It does sound promising. All fingers & paws crossed here for you.
Sweet dreams & I hope Millie settles down some (wishful thinking.
Deb...If you come back to this thread...gotta tell ya...I cried over the Beagle video. It was beautiful to see them wag their tails from happiness. I hope they all get adopted.
Thanks, Feral. I know that most jobs are found through networking so this is certainly a positive development.
I agree about the beagle video; I bawled when I watched it. Poor babies, but seeing them come out of their cages & then seeing how most of them had homes was wonderful.
GD, no I haven't disappeared just very, very busy @ that place!
