Garden Sentry - problems

Went out last night to turn on the garden tap and check the motion activated sprinkler and discovered the system has a problem. The PIR sensor turns on and stays on? Gave up after stuffing around for a while and shut everything down.

Here we are this morning in the workshop to swap out the sensor. On the right is the Garden Sentry with the faulty sensor. On the left is another project that uses the same sensor.

Australia Day family outing - 1

Had a lovely 'normal' Australia Day visiting the family horses.



This is Dusty down at Pearcedale. We got her in 1997 for the younger daughter. They are both 35 years old and been together for 26 years! The older daughter got Elvis a TB who crossed the bridge a while ago.

Very hot today approaching forty degrees and Speckles has moved from the gazebo area down to the cottage garden where it's always cooler.

Spotlight shopping trip - 3

Where is Bailey?

Spotlight shopping trip - 2

Also got this mat for the front door.

Spotlight shopping trip - 1

On the 2023 shopping list ET wants to spruce-up with new curtains.
No hurry for that but... was quickly moved to the top of the list after the houligan shredded the main bedroom curtains!

Bailey playing with broken glass

 

A crash noise from the back of the house along with a tinkling sound!

Quickly cleaned up the broken glass while ET held onto him.

Bailey - Best seat taken

With my heated throw rug set to high and tonight's selected movie waiting for the Play button went to get my dinner from the kitchen and promptly returned to the lounge - seat taken!

Mr. Woody - Very sad news

Mr. Woody was a  3/4 Clydesdale.

Do horses also cross that rainbow bridge?
Anyway... he and Alan Robinson are together again.
These photos circa 1998 when we agisted our horses with Alan at Wood Furlong That name was not well known and rarely used. I have photos (somewhere) of eight pine trees planted in a row exactly one furlong long. I suspect there is a relationship between Mr. Woody and Wood Furlong 

Bailey - Funny sleeping position

 

Looks like a door draught stopper
