    I just received a notice of rent increase for next year, it is only about 1% increase. I’m very happy with that. Plus a new lease, so I can lock in my Autumn garden plans.

    Birdbath getting a lot of use.

    Pidgeons, wattles, ibis even a willy wagtail all co-existing.

    No water wars. Just thirsty and everyone getting along.

    We could learn something from them.

    Will try and get a piccy later.

      I remember being the exact same way in Year 7! Every year, I was so excited about getting the books and choosing the colours for each subject. I hope maths is blue and English is red.

        Purple for Science (favourite colour and subject)

        Orange - Health and PE

        Red - Humanities

        Blue - Maths

        Green - English

        Black - Music

        It was a toss up between music and Science for the purple folder, but in the end Science didn’t deserve black. 12yo logic.

      Nope. I have some essential shopping to do - as soon as the washing machines finishes this cycle. After that, I am aestivating until about 10 pm. Yes, watermelon is on the shopping list. The real nasty will be next Tuesday I reckon - and it’s a week when a lot of people are either going back to work or preparing for the end of the school horrordays. Gonna be grim that day.

          The pink tassels on the handle bars and the daisy on the front basket make it manly af fank you very much :)

          Problem is w/ too many vodka cruisers in the front basket it loses some manoeuvrability.

            You need a little trailer for shopping

            I’d suggest an adult trike for the larger basket in the back but those things are heavy af. And cargo bikes are expensive
