22nd July 2021 - Pizza Thursday and a visit to Vic

Thought for the day :"Apparently it is rude to poke someone in the forehead and say “skip intro” when they start speaking.. Who knew ?"

Another hot day... with sounds of thunder in the distance in the evening but we had no rain ...

But up early and cut the lawns - though needed to go up the road to get more petrol to finish the job on the go-kart - did not get the hand - held out as it was too hot ...

Trip to see Vic, and they are using the "Pod" which is fine for many - but sadly the system of a glass panel and speakers with microphone helps not a jot when he is as deaf as he is - so no hugs, no conversation as he could not understand, and no opportunity to show photos which we normally do. But he seemed pleased to see us and that was the main ting - but we think we will restrict to every two weeks if we have to use this method. He is clearly happy where he is and they are looking after him well. I cannot criticise their wish to protect their residents and we would not have it any other way ..

A big smile ..

And a couple more videos of the garden

Steve popped around to visit celebrating one year from sale of the property so we gave him the grand tour which he seemed to enjoy - Later we had Johnny visit s we gave him the tour as well.

Spent a couple of hours in the tavern fixing mirrors and some seating /storage - getting better at this ..

But it is Pizza Thursday so it was up to me to cook this evening - and it was cool enough to eat outside tonight   

So, candled the latest peacock eggs - appears that we have 3 viable and one non - so may have some more peacocks if we get the humidity right this time ...

Poor old eating chickens have got too large to get out from the coop but luckily we are starving the last one ready for cull - but they are all coming in at about 7lbs - they are huge !!

And so - to bed 

Cheers !
