Spring is my favorite season, Mary. Was it hot in Alabama today, MizT.?

RUBY, we got into the low 90's again today. forecast had been for mid 80's but the heat came back. Can't seem to get away fromit this summer.

We still need rain.

Low 90's is OK. That's what we had.

Mary, how far are you from the ocean?

Ruby, we had a lot of rain thursday, water was running through my yard making huge shallow "lakes" fore running on out the back side of the yard. No rain since then though.

Did I mention here that with that storm, we had a lot of lightning and it got into our computer network?

About 6kms from the sea...we get a lovely seabreeze in summer called the Fremantle Doctor....comes in just in time!

I'm plugging centipede tomorrow. It's probably too late, but I'm doing it anyway. There is construction going on nearby, and the big, heavy trucks are bursting the water lines beneath the road. They drive the pipe under the roadbed, but they dig up your yard.

is the heat usual at this time of the year?

Mary, what an unusual name for a wind. Is there a story to that name? It is good to have a sea breeze in the summer. My daughter lives in California, and the weather forecast for there is always, " on the coast, 76 to 80 today, and inland at ____ 85, to 90, and out near the desert, 99-110. " a really big difference depending how far from the coast you are.

Did your computers get killed?

Mary, that Doctor sounds great.

Mary, yes, the heat is usual for us this time of year, after all, it is still summer! We do not change to fall till around the 22nd of september, the fall equinox.

yep..the name comes from the remedial effects

We begin to cool down at Labor Day, but 90's for the following week are common. It's not what we had, and I'm gratful.

RUBY, it did not kill any, but de commissioned 2 of them! It killed the internet modem to the other 2 machines, my puter was only one still had an internet connection. It killed the network interface card,and a router and a switch and two printers and the video card in one machine.

RUBY, looks like if the utility co messed up your yard, they would have to repair it! Can ypu put in your plugs and then over seed it with winter rye? that would hold the soil this winter and maybe the centipede will take rot enough to survive.

That's the plan.

yuck, poor MizT...hope your computers are well again

Your pooter must be the toughest of the lot. Or did you unplug it?

My puter and the one in the house were turned off, and all of them were on surge protectors. Lightning came in through the phone wires. It came from somewhere between the other 2 computers

Mary, living less than half a mile from the shore must be nice. Do you go to the beach often? Do your relatives want to spend vacations with you?

A D I found out yesterday, I do have lightening damage overage in my insurance policy. I had taken out a special rider for electronics many years ago, when a computer was a lot more pricey than today. so we are covered!!

damage Coverage

My brother's computer was hit through the phone wire. Even though it runs through a surge protector, I have rigged my modem line so that I can easily unplug it, too.

gotta run, hubby just came in, later

6kms is about 3 miles I think Ruby...it's about a ten minute drive. All rellies are here in Perth and most people live within 20kms of the coast (even Rolanda!!)

I'm glad you're covered.

Do you know Roalnda, besides meet-ups and here?

I knew that 10 miles equals 16 kms. Careless mistakes -- use to get me in math class in school, too.

I didn't know Rolanda before Suduko but have met up at all the functions bar one,the last breakkie. There are 2 million people in Perth so it's not surprising

used, ie.

I had a VW Bug in high school that was brought from Germany by an individual. It registered miles, but had a decal that converted to km's.

I try not to convert...maths 'does me 'ead in"

It's getting late here, so I'm going to turn in. I've enjoyed chatting with you. Maybe we'll meet up again. Good night.

catch you Ruby

Well I said I was coming back and it seems as if I've missed everyone again!!!!!

Cooee, just looking in before I go off and 'catch up' with you all. Will be in and out as per usual, preparing dinner...I am getting a distinct sense of deja vu!

Hi Gail,
Like you just popped in to see if anyone about.

Dinner's over. TV is turned off. Just waiting for the taxi light to go on when D#2 finishes work.

Hi Gail,
Glad our taxi days are over. have you far to go to pick up your daughter?

Hi June, Gail, Mama, Mary, Ruby and MizT and anyone else I may have missed!
