Hey everyone! 

Nice @Shaz51 sounds productive!! Loved hearing about your time with your grandson, how special! I am sure he is still talking about your visit with him and playing with his Bluey stuff!

you have that meeting today kidney people? Sorry I lost track of days times so not sure now but if it’s today hope it goes well 🤞

Hiya @MissGremlin !! How’s your day going my friend? My day is just starting but still in bed 😅

Hi @Dimity thanks for the tag and lovely to hear from you 🙏, hope your day has been good so far.

Hi @Yerta 👋

@Shaz51 I think you may have 2 coffee pages running for today’s date, not sure if intentional, I see two my end though 💜

Oohh *edit, I see in two different folders 🙏

Just saw your post @MissGremlin, I hope the visit to the shops goes smoothly 🤞and the rest of your day goes well. 😊

Very warm here @Chasingsunsets @Shaz51 but not as hot as yesterday.  Did my exercises - go me - and started trying to unmuddle a stack of paperwork I've been avoiding. I can hear lorikeets in the gumtree.

Hi @Shaz51 I hope your day is treating you well. Any plans for this afternoon or evening?

I went up town this morning and did errands that needed to be done before the weekend. I did get myself a new diary for 2026. 

ha ha yep @Chasingsunsets , the other one is in the carer`s space and one here 

Hello @heartathome , @Dimity , @MissGremlin @Eden1919 😍

no plans here @heartathome for today 

our town has a Christmas night tonight downtown but we wont be going as my husband does not loud events 

MIL birthday lunch tomorrow and she will be 91 

@Dimity , @Chasingsunsets , @MissGremlin  

I mowed today

Small unit courtyard and electric mower. It's roughly four minutes work. But I hate it

Well done for doing the Mowing @DogMan79 😊

It sounds like a nice relaxing night! @Shaz51 Same for me. Just listening to some Motown Legends.

I really need to have a shower (it's been a few days) but aren't up to it at the moment. 

God love your MIL 91 years old! I hope she enjoys her birthday lunch (and of course whoever else is going to be there)! 💛         

Thanks @heartathome 

She will have lots of visitors and have lots of phone calls

Hello @MaWanaPIer 🥰

How is your day going today 

Hello @Dimity, I missed lunch today, I got too busy 😂. I did do a load of washing though and vacuumed the house, even did a shopping trip. 

Hope it's been a good day for you ☺️

Hello @Mustang67 , @MJG017 , @Emelia8 , @avant-garde  @Ruby26 @rav3n 😍

@Chasingsunsets oh the luxury of still being in bed 😂. It's been a busy day for me, no rest today so I'm hoping maybe I'll sleep well tonight. 

Good effort @MissGremlin . I sorted, filed, shredded some papers. Will get a cuppa then hopefully get into the garden.

@Dimity sounds like you've done well today. A cuppa then into the garden sounds perfect ☺️

hi @Shaz51 thanks for tagging me 🙂

nice warm day here today.  hope you are well xxx

Hello @BlueBay , how has your day been my sister 😊

A bit warm here , so relaxing in aircon for the afternoon 

@Shaz51thanks for your asking and my day is great !

Hoping you and all the forum contributors enjoy this forum and fully accomplish its purposes..

Hi @Shaz51 ,

Thanks for tagging me.

Very warm today so watered the garden early and then took it easy.

I find being still helps when it is hot.

Hope you're having a good day.

Did the washing today @Realness , all dried now any plans for the weekend 

@MaWanaPIer , @BlueBay , @MissGremlin , @Dimity 

Not really, @Shaz51 .  Tomorrow is going to be very hot so will stay indoors. Haven't thought about Sunday yet but at least it's predicted to be cooler.

hello @Shaz51 and everyone popping by!!

it's hot friday on my end 🌞 hope you're all have a lovely day 💙

Thanks, @rav3n .

Hope you're having a good day also.

@Shaz51 Hello lovely. How you doing? I’m having a cold Coke instead today. 

Hello @Cuddlebear , @Realness , @rav3n , @MaWanaPIer , @BlueBay , @Jynx 

Having roast chicken legs and roast vegetables for dinner 

How about you 

Hello @lonemushroom , @Glisten , @balance37 , @Ainjoule,  @Eve7 ,

@ArraDreaming 😊

@Shaz51 @Going to have some sushi soon. Just on my bed with fur babies and glad today is almost over. 

sushi sounds nice @Cuddlebear 

Which one do you like 

@Shaz51

Roast sounds yummy.

I had a curry rice for dinner. With a coke.

Curry rice sounds great @Realness 😊

Leftover Laksa for me @Shaz51 😋 Yummmmm

@Realness @Cuddlebear 💜

Yummmy @Jynx 😁

@MaWanaPIer , @Realness , @Cuddlebear , @rav3n , @Chasingsunsets , @DownMoreThanUp 

A few of my flower photos 

Lush @Shaz51!! What's that second plant?  Tiny white flowers?

In the same family of ixora plant but smaller versions @Jynx 

 this one is the big ixora 

I had fun with ink bubbles today!

Nice @Shaz51 

 thanks @Dimity 

Thinking of growing some more from cuttings  @avant-garde , @Jynx , @Realness , @Cuddlebear 

So pretty @Shaz51!! So many colours... You could line em up in a rainbow!! 😍

💜💙💚💛💖

That is soooo cool @avant-garde - with a straw and like you blow the bubbles across the paper? Haven't done so in yonks!! My inner child is itching to give it a go 😍

@Jynx 

not quite... I picked up this calligraphy set from the op shop (mines better) and was filling the reservoir attached to the nib with my eye dropper and I noticed the dropper blowing bubbles and making the ink splatter. 

So I decided to play a bit using the ink in the set.

Turns out my nibs and materials are better but the ink from that set with my dip pen has a thicker appearance on the paper

That's sick @avant-garde - you're so creative!! I love me some arts & craft experiments hehe. I cannot remember the last time I did some finger painting... 🤔

@Jynx 

As a result I have also marked my spot in the group too, I couldn't control it splattering beyond the paper!

Accidental graffiti tag @avant-garde 😂
