Ended up with 60mm last night according to the rain gauge. Pretty much in an hour. Insane.
Brain no worky today. No think. NONE.
Except cravings for an HSP but I had one yesterday so brain is gonna have to think less about that
You're an adult (I'm assuming) so there's absolutely nothing stopping you from having a second HSP, it just won't be as good as the first :D
Market run complete. I have interesting sausages
So⦠new fancy schmancy washing machine.
Where everything is electronic and painful. I just want to dry off something and check it without having to wait 2 mins for the door to unlock.
At least Iβll be saving water for the environment. Gyah.
It might have something to do with heat. Some don't allow you to open them until it's safe due to steam.
That sounds like my old LG steam washer/dryer. The door lock delay was super frustrating and I can't say I ever liked the thing. I ended up going back to a top loader and drying rack and donating the combo unit to an animal rescue.

Gardening question (I'll post it to garden thread also)
This is a 60yo hydrangea. Mr P wants to save it, as it was planted by his Nan. But it's had the outlet air from the split system blowing right at it for years and it's clearly struggling. It also used to have an apple tree for shade but that was removed years ago. He's wondering if he should/could move it without killing it. As you can see, he's already started π
Put it in a big pot with a 50/50 garden soil & compost mix. Put pot in shade to semi-shade and protect from excessive wind. Water well and regularly. If you like, after a few months dose with a hydrangea colour fixer as flower colour depends on ph of soil and can be adjusted. Feed once a year with ordinary general fertilizer. Cut back hard after each flowering season. Hydrangeas are fairly tough little buggers so can cope with a bit of neglect but do need protection from too much sun and do need enough water. Some snail bait is a good idea while it's getting adjusted to its new living conditions. Great patio plants if protected from too much sun.
Thankyou for this. I think Mr P had pretty much decided he was going to move it but had a moment of doubt π

Does anyone know where there's good turkish restaurant in the Northern suburbs?
Sydney Rd is a nightmare so avoiding that. Not after kebabs unless they serve other stuff.

Attempts to time my afternoon walk between showers were a complete and utter failure, we had to abort early. I was able to take off my wet-wool smelling jumper and am now just a bit damp, but Mr Woof had reached Soggy Doggy status and has been tied into his bathrobe.
I wore sandals when I went out. Sorry. π
Also, i went to the italian supermarket and while there bought a block of nice milk chocolate, I had one square, nibbled it slowly and threw the rest away. It was so delicious.
You did what now?
