102 Got the house under contract late yesterday. I should be in a home again this spring.

7.6 Mike I love how your photos allow us to share those rides with you, but at 49F... are you nuts?

7.8 Hello 2021, please be kind to us throughout the next 12 months. @IrinaHarr , I also watched the fireworks live on TV as did most Australians, because of covid visiting Sydney harbour was locked off. There were a few illegal displays locally. I could only see the glow from them but my dog heard the lot. I didnt stop him barking as he too had a rough time throughout 2020 & deserves a better 2021.

97 today. Bella, the calico cat, nearly sent an email to someone plus 57 others while I was out. I should practice better computer security even when I am the only human here lol...

107 today.

7. Ive only discovered eggplants since Dx when looking for low carb veges. Now I wish I grew orange capsicums as they support good eye health. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-12/orange-capsicums-help-prevent-blindness-but-not-widely-available/13049208

92 Mom and I cooked some eggplant this weekend. I can't wait to get in to the house so I can have a little vegetable garden again. And bird feeders.

105 .

104 Tuesday 101 Wednesday. No double digits as yet. Guess I should double my efforts. @meyery2k glad to hear Gail is out. Hope she continues to do well.

Hi. No one can go back in time to change what has happened, so work on your present to make yourself a wonderful future. Happy New Year everyone!

7.3 I'm not enjoying this year. 1st & 2nd days under heavy rain & the rusty roof leaked. 3rd day.. creepy photographer in the park. 4th day.. real creepy men in the other dogs park. 5th day.. computer playing up.. eventually realised it was just the keyboard. Picked it up & thick liquid poured out. The bag of lychees I had beside it to feed the Rainbow Lorikeets leaked. 6th day.. $89 for a new keyboard. Mike your day couldve been a lot worse. So lucky you stood up. There has to be easier ways to visit Gail.

7.3 sorry to read of Gail being ill & wish her a speedy recovery. Pretty pic Diana

127 Back to work this morning after a week and a half off. Been warm the last few days but 43 this morning. I haven't been able to work on my porch in the mornings a lot this winter so far. Too cold.

An 88 (4.89) today. Well, 49°F is a nice temperature to do things outside. Heck, when I was going to the gym and jogging, I would get home and go for a jog in temperatures below 30°F (-1.1°C). I would wear jogging shorts, a tee shirt, and jogging shoes....no jacket or other outer wear! By the time I ended my run, I was sweating and there was steam coming off of my body...it was great! These days, if I had to run for my life, I'd probably die.😃

135 today, baked dark rye bread yesterday to take my mind off things as it takes long for kneading and handling the dough to rise. Worked a little from home office, went on a short car ride with hubby to check out local park; ploughed but still slippery walking paths after snow storm. 35F today perhaps walking trail will be better around 2pm, I need that.

You would fit in perfectly in Hawaii

151 Merry Christmas! Wicked weather overnight winds gusting to hurricane force winds rattling the my house and the wetlands in my backyard is flooded from the 3" (7.6 cm) of rain and all the melted snow. The temperature is 62 (16C) and is dropping down to in the 20s tonight (-6C).

147 today. Hounds are very happy and busy with their triple braided chew sticks, young pup hugged most of the toys Lee, that is quite authentic Australian Christmas card - delighted to look at it, thank you! Merry Christmas!

7.4 It's here..Merry Christmas !! Santa's been & he only bought small rubber balls, but they did come in interesting sounding plastic bags. My boy was sure the bags would contain food to sound like that. I had to tell him that he's not a cat, so stop declaring the package more exciting.

7.2 Mike, dont be alarmed if the FBI come knocking at your door suspecting the cats sending out coded emails. Ive heard of a dogs owner breaking into the pound to rescue his dog but a cat person can go off the deep end if his cat gets impounded. https://nypost.com/2021/01/13/armed-ex-soldier-storms-animal-shelter-to-get-cat-back-report/ So many years ago when I was a domestic goddess, I'd not only grow vegetables but I'd also preserve them. A jar of pickled veges makes a nice gift. Ive also bought eggs from the farms roadside stand & pickled them. Since the male dog moved in ,all of my vegetables & special plants have to be planted in pots . He actually stumbled when trying to wee high enough to get the overhanging parsely. A gardener friend always had an assortment of tennis or badminton raquets at his back door. He wasnt the sporting type but he & his friends would take a raquet & head to the garden to attack the cabbage white moth. There was exagerated air swings & fancy footwork with lots of laughter. I'm sure some men never grow up.

93 today

95 today. Yesterday's ride was one of the hardest rides ever. At altitude between 4000 and 7000 feet. Temp in the 40's - 50's. Beautifully sunny but very windy. I nearly was blown off the road a couple times by the stronger gusts. In the repair photo, I titled this, Cyclists and Muni workers. 2 people working while the rest of us watch and offer generally unhelpful comments. The story had a good ending as we all had enough kit and ingenuity to get these cyclists (tandem bike) on the road. Hawaii has a ranching industry and our ride took us through some of the ranchlands.

8 Its rained all week, so no walk in the park. It got so chilly yesterday at 20C / 68F that I wore a fleecy vest & had to unpack a blanket for the bed.

7.4 on this last day of 2020 Thanks for the excuse to leave things until jan 6th, but please feel free to come up with a longer plan. Google was very creative on its home page but clicking on that horn at 4am was an abrupt start to the day

7.7 I thought the liquer in the chocolates would be kinder to my FBG. I love sharing christmas with you all & Ahnanimus it's so good to share it with you. Irina, I love your pooch pics. I bought a lot of those christmas cards from the MND / ALS society. Safina Stewart is the indiginous artist..https://artbysafina.com.au/ Yay Clint.. but now I'll have to decide where to meet you all next time Jupitor & Saturn meet.. Hawaii or Texas. That storm on the US East coast looks horrific. It looks like Diana & Hammers territory so it was great seeing Diana post. It's Boxing Day here.. my favourite day of the year . covid only spoiled a part of it by cancelling the Sydney to Hobart yacht race but the cricket is on. some celebrate it by shopping or visiting friends but its in front of the TV for me. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-12-26/history-of-boxing-day-servants-sales-and-saints/12864436
