Now that my wheelie bin is empty again and with the sun is still shinning I better go and dispose of that last pile of prunings that I have left before that rain does get here.

Cheers.

Under a sunset double rainbow!

So where is that crock of gold?...

Well, ya can forever chase the end of a rainbow...


As seen due to the prismatic effect of the raindrops, the end of the rainbow will forever be ahead of you at the same angle between your gaze and the angle of the sunshine, for as far as you wish to chase...

Truly a fantastic Irish long story and tall tale!

Enjoy!

Winning now that my wheelie bin is again 66% full of chopped up prunings. :-)

I don't know how I did it but all 3 piles of tree prunings turned out being of the same size and I wasn't trying at all to do that. I bet that I couldn't do that if I tried.

Anyhow now that the yard is clear I'm going to enjoy a beer, or 3, before deciding on whether I cut up the last of the kindling today or not.

It also looks like I'll have to pull the old mower out early this year. :-(

Cheers.

Monday morning win.

That big light in the sky has gone to bed along with that cold gale that turned up here during LLB, but that expected rain hasn't come close as yet.

Cheers.

Yep! We've got it over here...

We'll let you have it back in a bit... ;-)

Good morning!

So am I! Barefoot that is, at the moment ;-)

Thankfully my swellings have subsided after an unhealthy use of DEET.

My boots still stink! And not of my feet or mud for a change...

Meanwhile, we've had a change of weather and temperature to give a good blast of breezy blue skies that seems to have blown the mozzies away for the time being.

Hang in there!!

Have fun!

Winning on a soggy and windy Tuesday morning with about an hour to go until sunrise.

Cheers.

Well I tried to put my left shoe on today, my left foot is swollen and red and painful when I almost had the shoe on my foot.

DMV $135 next month which is due by the 8th or buy Shoes or not be able to pay the rent, buy food, take 6 bags of trash out, get my mail, vote...

This is just from a fall, there are 1 inch rocks surrounding my home on all sides and I need my left foot to get in the car, normally the drivers side is over concrete, it's over the rocks right now.

I'm barefoot...

If you hadn't said it was from a fall, I'd have sworn that looks just like Gout.... REALLY BAD GOUT!!! If it's that swollen
from a fall, something is broken or fractured. I'd get to an ER and have X-Rays done, and IF broken or fractured, a cast
would be the thing to have done.

IF; however, X-Rays show nothing or are inconclusive, I'd then go Gout and have prescriptions of Colchicine AND
Indomethacin filled by your Doctor or the ER to your local pharmacy immediately. Gout, untreated, can go to
Gangrene and could cost you the foot.

Get treatment, in any case, immediately. Swelling that bad indicates that you need immediate attention.

At 6am here it was a soggy 10C (felt like 5C), our expected max for today is 10C, 90mins later it's down to a (even more soggy) 5C (feels like 0C) and snow is now in the forecast for this evening. So it looks like it might be 1 of those days where the temp goes backwards. I even doubt that Dog will come out of her shed today so I guess that it'll be room service again for her dinner this evening.

Oh well, I didn't have anything planned to do today as lockdown continues on.

Cheers.

Over here we have a soggy but warm... Feels like a summertime evening again!

And time flies far too fast!! Lots to do yet...

Well I near on got blown away and chilled just going out to the rain gauge as it's still 5C (feels like 0C), but the was 7.75mm in it to 51.75mm for this month so far (well our long term average of 48mm has been passes) which takes out total for the year so far up to 720.25mm so we're almost 200mm/8" ahead of the long term average up to this point of the year.

Severe frosts are expected for the next 3 days before wet stuff returns to finish this month off.

Well it's far too early for a beer as yet here so I may have to become a pirate. Arrrrrr........

Cheers.

The mercury here is back up to 6C, but it feels like -2C outside and some of these showers are now turning into sleet.

Oh well, the dark'n'stormies are going down well and I've turned up both the heat and thermostat settings on my air column heater up just to maintain 20C in my little 20'x20' unit upstairs in the back of my shed.

Cheers.

A sunny morning win.

We have: A bright overcast!


And for debugging of the biological critters, I've found a good old fashioned UV tube light electro-zapper to be the most effective.

That's a little more power hungry than the UV-led types, but greatly more effective.

Also, vastly better than swimming through a pesticide chemical smog in your own home/office!


Stay healthy!!

And those UV attractor/zappers keep working, one has to regularly re-do the chemical warfare agents as they don't last for ever. Some of them are very good for short-term cures. (A puff of DEET on an open window's inside cill certainly stops the little flying blood suckers for a night, but not two nights.)

Living on an island I have an abundance of slow-moving or standing water. To deter mosquitos I use UV zappers at several strategic locations, plus I installed several bat caves/houses. Bats love to eat mosquitos. I installed 2 on each boathouse, one inside and one outside as well as one in my back yard. They are all inhabited and neighbors have commented on how few mosquitos we have this year. You can buy or build a few of these.

There are probably 20 or more bats in each one I installed.
