Pixie morning sun

Pixie warming herself in the morning sun.

Pixie with new toy

 

Makeshift mini greenhouse

I have plants on the BBQ table under the gazebo that ET has rejected. I am NOT a green thumb but usually have a go to try and revive them - and been reasonably successful.

This table was bought years ago as a BBQ serving table and was seldom used. Been parked next to the carport so lugged it out and gave it a soapy wash down.

Lilly Pilly pruning

 

Workshop PC shutting down?

Totally clogged with dust and sticky junk.

Pixie having a bath

 

She is 12 years ols, when she was younger she would growl and nip fingers lol.

Tomatoes have grown enough so it's time to put in the cages.

Pruning carport rose arch

Forgot to take a photo before I started.

Telstra modem upgrade

 

Somehow I missed this email from Telstra back in October regarding a free modem upgrade?

Currently we are on a free 230Mbps offer for six months and I will not continue that as it costs an extra $30 - happy with 100/40.

Anyway I clicked on the out-of-date link and good thing I did.

Speckles waiting in workshop

Windows 10 - Camera photos backup

 

Besides all the usual backup procedures I still like to do a manual MS-DOS like backup using the Xcopy command. I have been taking digital photos since the late nineties when I got myself a Agfa ePhoto 1680 camera - it was expensive!

Pixie loves my heated rug

This is what happens when you take a TV break.

New rustic 2-seat bench

Bought this to replace the rotting timber seat.

Planting tomatoes

 

It's that time again and Pixie is here to help.

I prepped the bed and ET did the planting.

Hoeing the chook annex

 

The annex soil has compacted making it harder for Speckles to dig her dusting holes.
