Awesome garden. I miss reading your posts. And hopefully I'll catch them again soon...but in the meantime be well.?
It's always amazing to me how easy it looks when they actually are good at their job. Yeah...

Thanks Cathie. It is good to be able to come on here again even if it is only for a few minutes.

Wow, I did not realise that it was already made and would be delivered fully done. Nice.

Good Morning Good Folks.
I hope everybody is safe and healthy. The panic is starting here now as well and if we go into the shops then the shelves are bare. It is completely crazy and people are mad. I now have to go and try and get tp just because I might not be able to get it when I need it due to panic buying.?♀️
Our petrol is still the same and lots of places have in fact raised their prices. This morning I saw an ad for santizer 500ml for R149. Which is 3 x the normal price we would normally pay. The sad thing is that you cannot walk into the shops and just buy it off the shelves because there just isn't any.
Okay rant over and here is something funny for you to read: This was forwarded to me, and it is so good I feel that I needed to share the laugh.
????Just been to DisChem. Saw a guy who's trolley was full to the brim with hand sanitizers, baby wipes, toilet roll soaps, everything that people need!!
So I told him off and gave him a low down about the elderly and mums to be who need these types of things. Told him he should be fking ashamed of himself!
He said: “that’s all well and good but I work here, can I carry on filling the shelves now?” ??

Yes and you of course. ?And me
Good mornooning all. The UK Is quietly closing down. We have been told we should distance ourselves, but they’re not instructing restaurants and theatres to close. And schools are still open. It’s contradictory and weird.
JoesDad and I are in some sort of weird post-travel bubble. The world shut down in our wake with first NZ announcing a 14 day quarantine for arrivals, then Australia and today Hong Kong.
We decided to keep our distance on our return just in case we had picked up the lurgy and it seems we must just carry on doing so. With neither of us working we are just carrying on life largely as before without going to the theatre and restaurants... I do wonder how we would be feeling if we had been working at this time.
We are going out for a walk every day regardless of how bad the jet-lag is. We are also planning a pond for our garden and some birdwatching trips. When we filled our Volvo yesterday the petrol station had no unleaded fuel, only diesel... panic buying I suspect.
I am desperate for a haircut. My hair is very thick and 6 weeks is as long as I can go between cuts. It’s been 8 weeks since my last cut! I shall call my hairdresser today and hope she is still in business at the end of this week.
Look after yourselves wherever you are x

You are correct I love my backup camera, but I am trained to get my butt up out the seat and look where I am going. The more electronics means more wires-ugh! But a do-all Outback with a turbo is what my dreams are about. To be honest my first car was a 1977 AMC Hornet station wagon- so it is in the dna!
Ray good thing you pulled a permit, no way to sneak that beast into the yard. Can’t wait to see you set it up!
The hoarding is terrible, but that is the sense of greed that has taken over the world. In all aspects of life.
Happy you got reunited with your son and grandchild.
Thanks for flipping the script with the pics. Made me chuckle I like that kind of humor.?

Thanks, a lot of people don't pull permits. If I didn't that would be another thing I would worry about being caught. How times have changed. Before I would have had the F you attitude and welcomed the controversy. I have softened up I guess.
I will have all my tools in there, lawnmower, power washer and get the gasoline containers out of the garage. Need to get the garage cleared out so we can park the cars in there.
That is funny. Do they make good pets?Wildlife rescue tribulations down under
Thanks I was wondering how they would be able to get it in the backyard.
I was thinking about making part of it Opo's night box with another entrance for him. I thought about fumes from gas,fertilizer and bug sprays. Even if I sealed the night box, I am not sure I could eliminate the fumes.
Good morning everyone, stay safe with this virus. I am gonna go roll around in my shed.?
