It's ok. You've got to be better then me at names! One of my grandsons finally asked my son why I always called him his brothers name...and it's not because I'm a senior. I just can't remember names. Dilly is actually my brother's cat...but I picked him. I feed,clean his litter box,take him to the vet, etc but the cat still loves my brother the best. I'm glad because it means I made a good choice for my brother.
:):<3: We all are getting older.... it is okay.
What is your name ?:eek:;););):D

I think you may be getting help from above. I've heard of cement work needing some moisture to cure really good. I know when I had our front walk done, the sealant was just to keep the rain from making little pits in the finish...and messing up my friend's artistic cement work. I could be wrong.
No, you are right. Cement should not dry to quick. A little moisture is good.:)

Margo’s light didn’t come on this morning, good thing she lives outside most of the day. There was a bit of metal rattling about in their so I knew it was “brown bread” (dead) as my grandad would say.

I use an MVB for the adults and they are not cheap to replace........ bye bye pocket money:D

If your adults are getting outside time they don’t need an MVB. A plain reflector is fine. Save your money

So this was the place that we stayed in. It was just so nice and quiet. It was blissful. There was no TV, no Wifi. Just the open fields, mountain view and bird songs. Stephen and I loved it. I forgot to take a picture of the inside. But I did take a pic of the fireplace inside and of the fire for the braai we had outside. It was so nice to have a fire inside the house as it felt really cold at night.
Then on saturday around 14.00 we took a walk to one of the dams, but it was not very full. In the photos you can see that the dam is fed from a water pipe which is connected to the water from the mountain. And let me tell you something, that water is cold!! Brrrrrrrrr. On our get some supplies expedition into Barrydale I was accosted by some Meerkats and I had wondered if they were in cahoots with the Meerkats from CDR?
And then of course there were a few beautiful protea flowers which I just had to share with you guys as well.

Love the sight of that braai. Hope you didn’t let any meerkats back in the CDR on your return. [emoji33]

Nine hours of tennis watched. We are now recovering with wine and pasta.

Meanwhile, south west of us, tourism by proxy productions has hired a car and driven just over the border to Slovenia’s Soča valley

They’re visiting beautiful places. Amazing they can actually stand each other enough to travel together. I know a lot of siblings who don’t!

The deer love our plants and garden way too much, especially the about to flower Hosta and Monarda (depriving the hummingbirds of sweet nectar).

We sprayed some deer repellent down not quite 24 hours ago. Wow! Look how well it works ;-)

Well... it’s still outside, right? :confused: Did one eat your banana tree last year or something? [emoji33]
