Yup sun sun is out, blue sky in every direction and a fresh westerly. Today is a perfect washing day. I think I'll wash the doggy bed.

Correction - Sept 1 is an artificial day for Spring -
the true astronomical spring starts on 23 Sept.

There is the sound of chainsaws around here—the western block is being cleared of shrubs and trees around the periphery.

Means a decent fence can be erected around the big backyard and Socks can spend more time outside.

The long grass and weeds to be slashed and earthmoving done to ensure a nice even slope to the NE while the vege and currant patch will be made flat, no slope. Then raised beds can go in, whole patch surrounded by shadecloth (with some anti rabbit netting along the bottom. An auger will drill holes where the trees are to go and I will square the holes before the trees go in.

Yup, first spring here in Tassie will be a busy affair!

My wife works office hours Mon to Thurs and works from home on Friday, so she gets the kids sorted on Friday and I sleep in,  but because it was raining, 1stborn needed a lift to school. That's 4 x I've driven her to school this week!

Not too bad, it sounded like you were camped on the footpath.

Not stay at home but my business gives me enough flexibility to run the house 4 days a week

Yum ... rain!!  Waters the gardens and fills the water tanks.

Mild today here for pinch and a punch/1st day of month.
We had rain last few days though.
Still cool and a bit chill at night.

I see. So you AND your wife SHARE the home front responsibilities. Interesting.

There’s NO WAY I’d EVER let my husband run the house. Not even on a part time basis. His skills set wrt domestic management is below average IMO. Plus he can’t seem to manage the family budget like I can (and he’s a fully qualified accountant too lol).

I always find it quite interesting when I hear about other men taking on traditional female roles. Don’t get me wrong ... it’s not that I don’t approve of it. I just can’t get over the fact that men CAN competently take on such roles.

👆 Oh now this IS interesting. We might need to diary Spring for the 23rd then Bobby. Meantime we’ve got the heaters going here and we’re wearing winter pjs.

Women are cooks, men are chefs.

It's pouring again, and pretty cold too.

Antarctica had spring all winter with daylight saving yet to kick in. Then it's summer at midnight.

Happy Springtime.

The first day of Spring today -

LoL you're the one who posted about not having enough money to fix your roof because you drank the money your mum left you.

You have comprehension problems as well as a leaking roof.

I listed some tasks to be done and a new roof within 10 years is one of them.

You were asking how to get capital out of a property because you don't have enough money to fix your roof and you're a lonely old homosexual who can't get a loan.

The 11 year old you mentioned won't get a penny because you'll drink it all.

Let's just hope your new dog doesn't also suffer a ruptured bowel because you can't afford to pay the vet bill.

Not getting in the gutter with you, slimy grub.

This is disgusting behavior from you.

Fix the leak in your roof!

And now he's broke

I can tell by what he posts that Bumface is broke.

He started a thread asking how to rip equity out of a house because he needs to fix his roof, and now he's claiming he's loaded.

Poor monk the drunk.

Bloody freezing
