Lemons & lawns

 It took all morning to get the cavernous tooth repaired.  This one broke two yar back and it seems the next step will be a root canal if it breaks again anytime soon.  The Sun was out so I lightened a load of lowly lemons away from the posing possums pooing and peeing under the tree.  The lawns had not been touched for some weeks but running the mower over them didn't seem to do much.  A lady parked her car just out front and she interrupted my mowing to ask if it was ok to park there. Now this was a turnup. She said she felt safer parking it there yet was happy enough to wander off by herself for an hour or so.  I finished off  walking down there myself but could not be bothered picking any thing up as it was fairly clean anyway.

Tooth trouble

 Todays drama is a broken tooth which seems to happen every six months or so. There is nothing worse than that loud cracking sound from inside your mouth and I was only eating some soft raisin toast.  I have mentioned this before that there is one thing about country dentists as you can get in to see them in a hurry. I have an appointment for tomorrow morning. At least this did not happen over the weekend. I was considering some lawn mowing but that will have to wait. The grass here has not moved much in two months but the lemons have.  The tree is dripping with them. 

Fishing Village

 Time to go inside after two good days. However does that apply to tradies? I mean aren't they supposed to be tough workers, outside toilers and weather foilers.  Our maintenance man said it was too wet so  will have to finish another time.  Do we get a discount?  Debbie has been drawing, sketching and shading via an online instruction course. Maybe I should watch over her shoulder. So I tried another stamp design. There must be some reason I am picking out stamps from Africa lately. This country has been changed but the fishing village is still there on view.  Now exists as Malawi.  You can play spot the difference with this one.  I should time the effort, I'd say around 30 mins.

PS stamp is worth $11.

Blue Moon

 This is another Jack Reacher  "Don't mess with me or else" book.  I have no idea how the book's title relates to the crime gang clean up that goes on in this book.  It's not as if what Reacher does happens "once in a ..."  as he regularly messes up bad guys in an enthusiastic way.  The interview of Lee Child by GRRM  printed in the back, opens up a few more authors I can chase.  It seems Lee Child, Michael Connelly and Harlen Coben were in a startup writing class whom I have read lots, however there are others like Denis Lehane and George Pelecanos to check out.

Fog Dip

 It took a lot longer than the other day but eventually around 1:00pm the Sun broke through and the fog melted away.  Now that normally means there is no breeze to speak of, so going in the water was a possibility. I have been working up to this however in the end I went waste deep. The water was so clear and calm I could see every ripple on the sandy floor. Which means that there is an absence of sea grass.  Most of it seems to be balled up on shore but I have seen this situation before. I went out about 50 metres to get waste deep but the grass can grow quickly. It is a good clear expanse right now but in five months with warmer water it could be a jungle out there.

Three grounds walk

 There is a circuit in Willie that we have done numerous times and along the way there are three playgrounds.  Now mentioning this to the grandies is like dangling chocolate they just have to try it. There was the small matter of having some lunch first but with party pies and sausage rolls that was easy. Life is good at nana and pa's. Also all the bikes were present so they did not actually have to walk. Kaia is a speed demon and she does not have pedals. Estelle is a bit hampered by training wheels and Asher is fully competent.  It was a two hour exercise but they worked off the party pies.

Double Session

 I received a note saying google will automatically put links into my text that the AI deems interesting enough. I have turned it on to see what it does. This AI business is turning up everywhere. While the Willie haircut was going on I took myself off to the gym.  I started on the bike machine for 20 minutes then finished on the rowing machine for 10 minutes. The biking was 8km and the rowing was 2km so I took myself into the pool area for a warm down, which was more like a warm up. It takes me 10 strokes to get from one end of the pool to the other and I kept that going for about 10 minutes then got into the spa tub for another 10 minutes.  The whole session was at least an hour.  Look at all these links. I wonder where Willie haircut will take me.
