HAPPY SHOPPING KATHY! I don't buy anymore plants as i cant stand long enough to water them what with all the fruit trees we have etc the hot weather just kills them all and come hell or high water you have to go out in the scorching heat to water them because here it can be midnight and still 35 degrees and i am so over that. I try to keep a few tomato plants viable but even they die off too hot they roast on the vine sun-dried to a whole new meaning :o :lol:
PJ hope all is well with you. got family popping in today as a belated birthday lunch for mum so busy cooking. Must get back to it.
be safe everyone and god bless you all

matina, hope you're enjoying your family birthday lunch just about now. Sorry to hear about your plant problems. This past summer has been a good one for my various plants and trees, with lots of rain.

Katy, I imagine that you're also out and about at the moment, maybe at your local cafe. We have both a Bunnings and a Mitre 10 between Katoomba and Leura, which is very handy. Am talking to my GP again today to see if I can change my statins. Long story. I've done a lot of research online. Trying to stay positive!

Lots of autumn leaves around the Upper Mountains now . . . very beautiful. Walked down to Elysian Rock yesterday, but the Jamison Valley was full of smoke from burning off.

Bye for now!

Hi everyone :)

Matina I don't have a big garden anymore I made sure of it when we built this house, i do have a little garden seat i use to sit on and water the plants cause I can't stand too long either :? but it gives me a great deal of pleasure just watering :D then id love your fruit trees especially the lemons :D enjoy couch day with me xo :D Good morning Pj yeah I've read a bit about statins too :? either way you look at them they all have some side effects , i suppose it depends on your cholesterol levels but having heart surgery i feel like the drs put you on everything under the sun :? I remember my dad who had 5 bypasses and was not on any medication would always complaine about the amount of meds he was on and how they made him feel worse at times :? are they all necessary who knows, but id still question the drs on all of it :? especially if your feeling these effects of the drugs is there a natural solution maybe :? im enjoying my book today I did a lot of walking yesterday my legs are protesting :D
Happy weekend all :D

Good morning, matina. Hope you're well. Am just about to go for a drive down to Valley Heights, to attend a 'gem and crystal and lapidary show' there. It will take me about half an hour. Beautiful day up here. Hope you're well.

Katy, I had a tele-appointment with my GP yesterday and my statin in now changed. Hope it helps. But I'm now on an additional med for my triglycerides, recommended by my cardiologist. Won't go on about this right now. Glad to hear you're out walking and also enjoying your garden.

Must rush off now so that I'm not too late. They start packing up around 2 pm.

Hope everyone at CC&BC is well.

matina, another Greek Orthodox Easter greeting! Hope you and your family have a great day!

Katy, am enjoying the autumn leaves up here. This is about the peak of the leaf season. Glad you're trying the Lavazza. I've experimented with lots and lots of different types of coffee over the years, and have now settled on Lavazza. I never buy anything else. Of course, when I'm out and about at the local cafes I try all kinds. And there are so many coffee shops in and around Leura. Enjoy your lunch today with your family . . . rain on the way tomorrow, I'm afraid.

FreezeMe and Diva . . . good to see you here. Hope you're both well.

matina, so glad to hear that you enjoyed your Easter celebrations and lunch! Now sending lots of good wishes to your mother for her appointment on Monday. Trust that the medicos can quickly figure out what is wrong.

Photo shows where I walked a little way into the bush the other day . . . a typical mountain eucalypt forest with very tall, very straight gum trees.

Good night, everyone . . .
