While you’re in there, may as well do a little Putin.

Saw right through this joke 👻

Guys, I think it’s time to talk about the elephant in the room.

I thought it was taken out so we could fit the giraffe in there.

We had one neighbor leave their tree up all year in a corner window. They just changed the color of the lights and the decorations to match holiday du jour. I always looked forward to one of their resets.

In my old neighborhood, the Diwali lights just stayed up through Christmas and New Years. Our HOA had a 1 month rule for leaving holiday decorations on the house, but they didn’t dare try to enforce it until February. 😄

Leave it to this sub to craic a good joke

and if you’ve done your job well, there’s mud in all the cracks

Made me remember Tractor Man

Biscuit jokes: the humor I didn’t know I kneaded

But there is no point to circles.

um, the goal is to get the heater going by drawing on the hot supply, right? I’ve only ever seen cold supply hooked up to a toilet. So emptying and refilling the toilet tank doesn’t use up the cooled water in the hot supply line. However, catching cooler shower water in a bucket and using this to manually flush the toilet doesn’t waste the water. It is a lot of effort though.

She’ll be pretty salty when she does figure it out.

Hmm, I guess the most active project is a sweater I started on a knitting loom. My first knitting project. I normally do crochet.

I ~want to~ finish my powder room vanity and sink, get some shelves up over the washer/ dryer, and finish my pot rack so I can free up cabinet space.

Exciting!! You’re gonna have so much fun with it!

That sounds really lovely! Some of the smoke made its way here. Not as bad as NYC or even DC, but enough that I felt it. You were really lucky to have a little oasis!

There’s that point in one’s life where you go from thinking “I’d never wear a bug net, they look so derpy” to “gimme that thing, I can’t take the bugs in my eyes any longer!” For me it was the midges on Isle of Skye that did it. And I’ve lived in the Keys, currently live in a swamp, and visited the red centre of Australia and Alaska during summer. Unashamed bug net believer right here.

I hope to get up your way the next time we do a trip to Australia. Darwin and Perth are two major areas that we haven’t explored yet. I would not be one of the ones to brave swimming, and I’ve done some pretty risky dumb shit. I loved camping in Tassie though (Cradle Mtn). Fewer crocs up on the mountain but the Park’s bus drivers are hella cranky! 😂

Now I’m imagining backpacking by golf cart, haha!

August babies unite! Our next trip is planned for August too. I love little park campgrounds. They feel like they have more character.
