Speckles at the vet

I noticed yesterday that something was not right with her; she was hiding in peculiar places and not coming out even when tempted with food treats.

Booked her in yesterday for this morning and here we are at the bird vet.

Telstra TV - Enhanced wi-fi remote control

Back in Feb 2019 I got the Telstra TV2 box and was happy with the purchase. However, one thing really annoyed me - no volume control - so I also had to keep the Panasonic HTS remote on my lap and juggle the two remotes.

Driveway carriage lights not working

Looks like a faulty motion sensor.

Last night I noticed the front lights had come on...and stayed on?
Went out to try resetting the sensor but that was no-go so we have another job to add to the list.

This was a 2015 project - the sensor is secured to the top of a upside down plastic Jiffy project box.

Speckles – another day

Speckles having a bread treat after I brought her out from the laundry this morning.


Ringtail possum family update

The Ringtail possum family in our front yard have vacated their dray (nest).

Have not seen them for weeks now but the fruit platter saucer the I put out every 2 or 3 days was again empty when I collected it this morning.

Speckles another night in the laundry

Speckles settling in for another night in the laundry. I left the side door open that leads to the laundry and she let herself in.

Oh...we have a low of 1° for 3150 tonight.

Amstaff silhouette light - part 3

American Staffordshire Terrier

Over the last week with the cold weather have not spent any time out in the workshop and then Holly needed extra care culminating with her leaving us - forever!

Today was another busy day catching up with away-from-home stuff but did manage to get out to the work shop after we got home from shopping.

Picking up from the last Part 2 session here is the internal spacer frame sitting inside the actual 6 x 4 picture frame.
