Nice to meet you 🙂

I won’t have it either. For much the same reasons as calliecat. Don’t need it. Rarely get a cold. Prefer to let my immune system fight its own battles. But I would consider it if my immune system was compromised. Or I would just stay home even more than I already do.

We were lucky, here on the Sunshine Coast hinterland. We got 250mm over 24 hours and the wind gave the trees a really good shaking but no big ones fell, the power stayed on and, best of all, our newly desilted dam is full to the brim and looks fantastic now. Thinking of those who were not so lucky though and hoping that it won’t be as bad as they…[Read more]

Pouring down here right now. I agree w you @snags. It’s lovely. And I baked some banana bread too 🙂

We had another 25ml overnight and our dam and creek are slowly filling back up. I am not ready for it to stop yet though.

Must be powerful because it worked here too.

nice work ADU 🙂

Noooo…. if you clean the gutters it won’t rain. Surely you know the rules… If you intend to do it tomorrow,,, but haven’t quite got there yet… there is a greater chance it will rain tonight. Oh but wait… you did say you WILL clean the gutter…. Well that should be OK then. :smiley:

Deakin Uni offer BA’s majoring in Anthropology fully on-line. But I didn’t know that when I started. Nor did I know how much I would enjoy Anth. So I have done too much work on my degree now to toss it to one side and start over with Deakin. I will (hopefully) graduate from Macquarie in Sydney.

Very slowly working my way through a BA majoring in Philosophy. Fully on-line. Currently doing an Anthropology subject. I like Anthropology but its not an option to choose it as my major so Philosophy is my next best choice

Made pumpkin soup. Ordered some awesome books of knitting patterns for dishcloths. Studied.

Ouch! That almost sounds like salt being rubbed into a wound!

So where do I have to shift my house to so that I can benefit from this little bit of rain? I am reaching the conclusion that clouds only appear to remind me that they are on their way to somewhere else before they drop any rain. (And of course if it rains too much I will grumble about that too – that’s the rules isn’t it?)

@snags Do you want to simply deter them or are you prepared to sacrifice the entire nest? If it is the latter option… perhaps you could try leaving a small unlidded container of icing sugar mixture to which you have added a teaspoon or two of borax in their path. Mix it thoroughly and leave it where they can find it. They take it back to the…[Read more]

Laundry liquid costs about one tenth of commercial equivalent. Rubbing on stains undiluted usually works. I think this site does not like the percentage sign. As using it seems to be when it won’t let me post.

Tried to respond here. Can’t for some reason.

The Booko site is always worth a look for hard to find items

I learned to make laundry liquid from the instructions in Rhonda Hetzel’s book called “Down to Earth”. But I make mine with a cupful of grated sunlight soap which is then completely dissolved in 1.5 litres of warm water (stir it in a pot on the stove – you will feel like you are cooking up a magic brew). When the soap is dissolved I add in half a…[Read more]

So I am guessing that if you are planting that and defending against roos you probably have a big space for it to grow into?

Hello @UNCiviLization I hope we get to hear about your adventures in the Huon Valley. It is a beautiful part of the country
