  1. Good morning Fedi friends. Back to double figures last night, but only just at 10c. Another beautiful #Autumn morning, lots of dew on the grass, a beautiful blue sky & heading to a lovely 25c. No rain on the horizon for this week so a few things will need a hose watering, but at the moment all is still very damp. I do have to top up the bird bath though for my flying visitors.
    Him next door is getting a new bathroom from the look of the trailer in the driveway containing his sink & shower stall glass, which looks as though it’s never been cleaned 😬. I don’t know whether to feel smug that my bathroom still looks really clean & in good repair after nearly 15yrs or miffed that he gets a new bathroom after less than 10yrs 🤣😂.
    The tradie will shift if I need to go out. I’m not sure that I will be though. I need nothing & my daughter is coming here after she’s done some jobs. If we need to go out we can use her vehicle. Hoping to do a spot of potting today, making new plants from the spider plant trailers. A couple of things need tidying up but there’s nothing urgent.
    Have a wonderful #Monday everyone. Stay safe out there 🌻. #Weather #Neighbour #Garden

  2. Good morning tooting friends. It’s still overcast outside, but there are patches of blue in amongst the grey clouds. So of course I’ve stripped the bed & washed the sheets. Just daring it to rain some more & a little is forecast later this morning. 17c when I got up in the dark of pre dawn & it will reach 27c today.
    Yesterday afternoon after the rain eased I took a step stool outside & had a sneak look over him next doors side fence that we share as I can see it is always wet under the fence on his side & rain flows from his back area through to mine & pools in the corner of my back area. His drain is blocked, the lid is off it & it’s full of debris. The whole of his back area is a mess. So I’m not surprised this keeps happening. It’s not the main source of my flooding issues, but it is a part of it 😏. Still deciding how to deal with it, without having to deal with him.
    On a better note my back is much better, not perfect as it’s still a little tight, but it’s not painful anymore. I’m off for my last swim for this week & feeling very happy about that. Then home to change & back out to do some jobs, grab some veg & hopefully over to Albury to visit my sister who is still in the Base hospital. Parking is an absolute nightmare over there & getting worse all the time so hopefully I can find a park not too far away.
    Have a happy #Friday everyone, stay safe out there 🌻. #Weather #FloodingIssues #Neighbour 🥴 #Family

  3. What #kindness have you seen in your neighbourhood recently?

    “Someone asked in the neighbours’ WhatsApp group whether anyone had The Sunday Times #newspaper from a specific date because an overseas friend of theirs had been featured in a research column and they wanted to send a copy to her.

    One of the neighbours was able to help and gave her the newspaper copy.

    It was a double kindness because the original #neighbour gave the other one a jar of home-made jam to say thank you.”

  4. Good morning Fedi friends & it’s a muggy grey & warm morning of 19c with 95% humidity. It won’t be getting much warmer either as it’s forecast to only reach 23c & the rain is supposed to be clearing by this evening. It’s been good soaking rain & not a deluge & my garden & I appreciate it.
    Something odd going on with him next door. He went out at 5.30am & came back at 6am driving up the driveway in his big ute & it is still parked in the driveway with the drivers side door wide open 🤷🏼‍♀️. While he & I don’t get on & I won’t engage with him generally. This is very unusual & I hope all is ok as he’s rarely blocking the driveway for anything more than about 15mins nowadays - unlike some years ago when I was forever asking him to move so I could go out. Which if he’s still there in an hour I’ll have to do 😏. I hate having to deal with these things, it spikes my anxiety.
    Simple day today, no swimming unfortunately as I want a haircut if I can, also a spot of grocery shopping, just stocking up on my essentials & then to Bunnings for potting mix & maybe a plant or two - I do love payday 😁.
    Hope you all have a happy #Tuesday, stay safe out there 🌻. #Weather #Neighbour

  5. My elderly neighbour who used go give me home baked cookies and cinnamon rolls (until I became vegan and could not eat it anymore) rang my doorbell.

    Her mobile prompted her to enter sim-PIN and she did not know what to do.

    She lives by herself and she is 84 years old.
    She can't currently use her bike either so she is kind of stranded.

    After a little while she found her doughter's phone number so we called her and she knew where the sim-PIN was, so in the end the problem was solved.

    No easy to not being able to communicate and on top of that not being able to get anywhere.

  8. #food for thought...there's only one #religion who's founder asked two things of us..one of them was to love our #neighbour ..think about this for a moment ..and then think about it again until you see it..

  9. Good morning Fedi friends. It was a smoky 20c when I got up at 6am & today it’s getting a little warmer again reaching 36c. At the moment the light & air quality isn’t great with all the smoke around. Usually when I can’t see the distant hills from my garden it’s due to rain, at the moment it’s due to smoke. There’s a lovely cool breeze though which will hopefully dissipate the smoke somewhat.
    There was something in the driveway at 4am, at first I thought it was him next door going out, but as I heard him leave at 6am maybe it was his cat in his stinky bin, as it doesn’t have a lid.
    Planning a Balance class this morning & then heading to the supermarket for a few bits & pieces. Also going to Bunnings for a new mop, I have a few mops & they’re never that good, even my steam mop is hard work. I used the homeowners one at my last sit, so I’ve googled & Bunnings have them. All the others can go in the bin, or the recycle shop if they want them. I will keep the steam mop though.
    Gosh it’s #Wednesday already again, have a great day everyone, keep safe out there & stay cool 🌻. #Weather #AirQuality #Neighbour #Exercise #Shopping.

  10. It's all fucking kicking off!! 😂😂😂 I'm just like "can we calm down and just have a discussion" #neighbour 🙄

  11. Something I've been working on with remote data: a 3-panel mosaic of the Andromeda Galaxy. Integration now includes reds and luminance data but only used luminance for this image. Getting used to the mosaics and core brightness reduction workflow for now.

  12. It would be far better to have my hood as friends and really bring out the spirit of the community of love but I just feel some neighbours are happy being nosey fascist bigoted hypocrites in my local hood, no thats not every neighbour local to mine as there are some really awesome people around my home to and I'm not a stereotypical asshole.

  13. To my #American friends...

    As your neighbour, I thought you would want to know -- we've been looking over to your side of the fence, and your tree of liberty is looking a little parched.

    It's probably time to water it. It could stand a little refreshment.

    If anyone was following and interested in the discussion between the Vice-President of the USA and a former Conservative leader in the UK about the "who is my neighbour?" question a lawyer asked Jesus in Luke 10:29, here is something worth reading.

    Each of the politicians seemed to be, like the lawyer, "willing to justify himself", and both seemed to overlook the point that the lawyer never did get an answer to his question, because, as the parable Jesus told shows, it was the wrong question.
    The real question is not "who is my neighbour?" but "who can I be a neighbour to?"

    And if you are really interested in following this up, see here:

  16. The elderly lady who is visiting the hospital next week for #chemotherapy treatment has now had a #FREE #gas #water #heater installed by our subcontractors.

    This was totally free of any cost, with no charge under any circumstances to her, we now know that when she returns home after every treatment, she will have running hot water without the worry of covering the cost, or borrowing.

    She is a lovely lady who deserves a break, her next door, #neighbour, called us and asked if we could help.

  17. We just had a rather lovely thing happen - it was raining when I got home yesterday, so I didn't go and fetch our dustbin back. I'd forgotten about it by this morning (I'm working at home and it's been really busy!)... Our next-door #neighbour just popped round to make sure we're ok ❤️

  19. When the guy who invented the leaf blower died, did they just scatter his ashes over the neighbouring graves?

    (Yes, neighbours clearing their snow with a leaf blower is a sore point for me. The prevailing winds mostly dump it on my driveway.)

  21. With #scathing tongue, you #carve your memory on my soul. White #laundry on the line, #sapphire sky turns black.
    They say hard knocks #forge you. But how can I love my #neighbour if I can't love myself?
    Remembering how life once was #colourful, I spread my wings and stop #falling.

  22. After approximately one year of #détente, my extremely #uptight #neighbour is on the warpath again. Today she yelled at me that there are 24 - she counted! - #jackrabbits living in the green space behind our yards, and that over the winter they ate half her bushes, and it's my fault because I like #rabbits.

    I don't quite follow the logic - the green space is flood-control and runs west to farmers' fields - but clearly I have been a #Bad Neighbour.

    And you definitely can't count all the jacks.

  23. Development of a great network of #sleeper #trains across Europe as an alternative to #flying is something I'm really looking forward to trying!

    I love the idea of them being far more sociable too, instead of the isolationist experience of flying.

    Mind you, I am the #nightmare #neighbour on a flight. I tend to chat anyway, and I have very fond memories of a flight back from Paris a few years ago when we (me and a total stranger) laughed, chatted, and gesticulated an hour away much to the annoyance of other passengers who seemed to manage to remain seated despite the #broomsticks up their a**es. I think the cabin crew enjoyed it though.

  28. #Neighbour is clearing the #snow from our shared path. As usual, he's not doing a very good job of it. So, when it freezes again tonight, (which it will) the path will become a treacherous #ice #rink.
    As usual.

    Some people never learn.
