matina, 'PM' Rishi isn't too worried about not having a 10 on her new box. She's been relaxing inside nearly all day! Says she never had any political ambitions . . . just wants a nice box and plenty to eat!

18-19 degrees up here for most of the day. Sunny and a bit breezy. Guess spring is coming . . . eventually. Would love to see another couple of sunny days.

Good night, everyone . . .

matina, hope you and Snowy have good appointments today. Sunny here, but rather windy. I sat out in the sun earlier nevertheless, together with Sunnya, and it felt good. Am heading over to get some spring water later this afternoon.

Katy, the PM got up a bit earlier than I did this morning, and she looks bright-eyed and busy tailed. Glad to hear that your flooded roads have improved. After nearly 3 years, our southern road connecting Leura to Katoomba via Leura Cascades is still closed. There's protest action planned through the 'Leura Alliance' of local organisations (of which I'm part) to try to force the Council to finally open the road.

Greetings to everyone . . . bye for now . . .

Looking down Sublime Point Road just before sunset . . .

matina, glad your physio went well. Hope Snowy's injections will help. I'm so relieved that my little PM is now off her steroids. But I still have to keep taking her for blood tests, every 3-4 weeks. She and her sister will turn 7 on November 1st. I'm also checking my various accounts daily. I'm thinking that if millions of people have been involved, my chances of avoiding trouble are pretty good. Now sitting here quietly, waiting for my grocery delivery.

HELLO ALL!
PJ please enjoy your visitors you haven't won the lotto have you someone in Penrith in NSW did. i hope your not holding out on us.;-)
KATHY yes i also hear don the news that the government is giving the homeowners in Lismore the option to rebuild their homes or to allow the government to buy it back from them as if the house was still on the block of land ei what it was worth prior to the flooding. I don't know why council allowed and permitted for folks to build on land that had a high chance of flooding it is unconscionable.
I have had a crappy day dealing with Satan's stuff age proofing it so he doesn't to stupid things to his home policy and when dealing with companies that look at a power of attorney document like it is toilet paper makes me so fricking angry ;-{

oh i have noticed social media all up in arms over Brittney Griner and her 9 year sentence to hard labor in a Russian prison charged by taking CBD oil vape vials into the country knowingly.
1 she knew they were not permitted but she still did it anyway.
2 one must respect another countries laws or face the consequences and their punishments.
3 when one doesn't realize the political repercussions that can come into play at any given time is no reason to play ignorant.
4 when in another country ones behaviour must be above reproach as you are representing not only your culture and country but one must have self respect before it can be given to others by respecting that country and its laws.
5 We all know she is being made and example of and the sentence is excessive especially in this day and age. but consider this have we all forgotten that at least she isn't being executed for it.
6 I will never forget when i was just 16 years old in 1986 when Kevin Barlow and Brian chambers were executed hanged in Malaysia for possession 179g of heroin they showed it on the news and i still see that scene. It was what the Malaysian court sentenced them to. ever since then our governments reiterate to us all be aware of the laws in any country you go to. https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/law-order/true-crime-scene/hangings-of-kevin-barlow-and-brian-geoffrey-chambers-in-malaysia-destroyed-families-lives/news-story/cbcd26256052e0d64370bd7ab1f40996
7 when traveling even with prescription medication please make sure you have doctors letters confirming that they have been prescribed for you and for the treatment of what ever it is and keep them in their original boxes bottles and declare them immediately to customs.
8 I had some panadol with me when we went to Greece for the first time i thought it is over the counter paracetamol it is allowed world wide. to my amazement it wasn't and customs informed me of it and they took it off me and destroyed it. I told my cousin about it he hit the roof (saying they were just being ass hats as they don't recognize panadol brand so they destroyed it). So I then asked him what they used for headaches in Greece he said Depon (having never heard of this before) we stopped and got some after reading the label it had the same amount of paracetamol as the panadol did 500mg so i lost 2 packets of panadol big deal but i was upfront on the customs declaration & about all my other medications and letters from doctors etc I was given no problem on them.
9 even our laws say one shouldn't jay walk etc most of have done it at some point with no one saying a thing but it does carry a fine, but in other countries it is a jail able offense not just a fineable offense. In some other countries men and women cant hold hands even if they are married. you cant take photos in certain parts of certain countries etc drinking alcohol smoking etc etc the list is endless one must research things very well before embarking on a journey if one is to hopefully be respectful & abide by the laws of that county and have the hope that you will return home safe. It is best to ask if your in doubt you can always write to that countries embassy and ask what is permissible.
10 let us not forget to be compassionate/empathetic to another's misfortune no one should relish another human beings suffering. I will leave you with something my 6th grade teacher told me once never ASSUME because you make an ass out of you and me ASS U ME! :lol:
well that is my rant for the day. be safe take care and god bless and be with you all.

Hi :wave:

Nope no power ball winner here either :( :( matina I would've blew up your phone told you to pack your bags were going to buy an ice island in Alaska for the summer we'll grab Pj a special heated room for the fuzzies all the tuna they can eat :lol: ahhh such a dream :? Be careful driving out there google maps :) Morning Pj are you well :? I'm using my new garden chair with its kneeling pads a lot of weeds since the rain stopped but I have a bucket of coffee hubbies supervising (he helps me up when my knees give out not a pretty site :lol: ) it's a beautiful day so I'll just enjoy :D hairdresser tomorrow and shopping with my daughter :D take care everyone :D

matina, hope today is a better day for you. I've been out front chatting with the Ultra Marathon marshalls as the runners pass by. Beautiful, sunny day for the four events this year. . . 11 and 22 km distances yesterday . . . 50 and 100 km today. Right now the 50 k runners are passing by my house and the Scottish marshall told me that he ran the 22 k event yesterday. Still a bit windy up here. Sunnya and I sat out in the backyard for a while anyhow. The hundreds of runners will keep it up all night and into Sunday . . . Don't know how they do it!

Katy, yes, the real spring weather is finally coming . . . even up here at 945 metres. Your kneeling pads (which I also have) and garden chair and coffee servant sound great! My usual lawnmowing guy will come on Tuesday morning. For the past two years, I've rarely mowed my own lawns, even though they're small. Sounds sad, but it doesn't cost much to have them mowed and then I can do little bits and pieces around the gardens myself. My visitors yesterday thought my front yard azaleas were magnificent!

Bye for now, everyone . . .

matina, so glad to hear! I didn't go far today myself . . . had a little walk around the bush . . . twice talked to the Ultra Marathon marshalls on duty in front of my house. They're still running, by the way . . . everyone has little lights. They go all night on the 100 km course, down into the valley and back up again. I think it only finishes on Sunday afternoon.

Good night, everyone . . .
