Nice and sunny here and that cool wind should keep the sweat down when I go out to finish mowing the yard.

Cheers.

Home again.
The rocks are for resale. I was helping a friend who sells rocks to book stores and interior designers.
We got rocks like these:





This last one is about 2 feet in diameter. We paid $20,000 for it. We expect to sell it for $40-$50,000. My friend already has a buyer for it.

I check my mailbox about every two weeks. Nothing going there but a utility bill and a thanks for the payment statement.
Went out to laundry and found a bad situation. The mailroom was vandalized with many open mailboxes. Mine among them. The management is going to hear about this ASAP. Nothing in the box to take but junk mail. I was able to close the box using the key. Thank the maker. I was smart enough to have a secure address for important mail and not this ripoff mailbox.

My mail comes to a US Post Office box. No choice here. They don't deliver to our home. Due to vandalism, the box has limited hours during which you can enter the building. They now also have video.

Winning on Monday morning. Back at home safe.

It kicked off here at -1C (felt like -4C) and now as we wait for the wind and clouds to arrive it's 6C (feels like 2C) while in my unit up in the back of the shed it's a humid 25C and still climbing.

11C is all that's expected here today with a chance of showers this arvo.

Cheers.

Well, well, well...

In stark contrast to yesterday abandoned for a washout with added squals mixed with drizzle and sand/dust...

We have been becalmed with summertime humidity for a wispy overcast bright grey day with foggy/pollution haze/murk for Sci-Fi style surreal views.

And the forcast is forever changing in the style harking back to the weather voodoo days before computer weather models...

Chaos and butterflies and fun!

... And something is on the move up from the Bay of Biscay...

And the Buccaneer has roared!

... It's also now parked 90 degrees around from before to show it's best side to the gate!

Winning now that I've finally finished in the brewroom for today.

I'll drip the ethanol produced today through the charcoal filter tomorrow.

Anyhow it's time for a feed and then I don't think that the bed will be far after that.

Cheers.

It's raining here.

And it's a grey dark.

With the total flat calm quiet, the large raindrops are falling exactly vertically... Just like a scene out of The Matrix...
