    Saturday night here, I spent the day trimming a hedge and now feel all the aches and pains :)

    Saturday night here, I spent the day trimming a hedge and now feel all the aches and pains :)

    I currently rent an apartment, but I had a house that I sold about 4 years ago, and I don't really like yard work. Now with house prices crazy high, I'm not sure I'll be able to easily afford a new house any time soon, unless the market crashes and prices come down.

    You too. It's Saturday morning here for me right now, and I got up to check messages & things on my BBS. My wife and I have reservations for dinner this evening at a restaurant that's on the top floor of a building downtown with great views - we're looking forward to it.

    As I've got older I think I enjoy gardening/yard work more than I did but I think that's more to do with how different it is to the desk/screen based stuff I do during the working week.

    I still need to be in the mood to do the outside stuff but when I am, it feels mostly OK to do and rewarding to see some stuff down around the property.

    We have a reasonable about of buses/trees etc. around our place so as we come into Spring it's usually a time where there's plenty to do if I opt to do it ;-)

    Sunday lunchtime here as I type, my wife and I went out for coffee this morning, it's pouring with rain now and I would like to do some more stuff outside but instead have been scheduling music for totalfm.nz and *may* take a couple of wool bags full of green waste to the local landfill.

    Sunday morning here, recuperating from bronchitis *and* and ear
    infection, with a big cup of coffee, a raspberry scone and a QWK packet
    from the BBS. This has been my tradition since 1991 or so.

    At least two more infections that I'd like. The ear infection is circumstantial - I get swimmers ear every couple of years. The bronchitis was new, hit me with a horrible cough, no fever, no other symptoms. 7 day course of amoxicillin and topical antibiotic for my ear seems to be doing the trick.

    I can't hear my wife asking me to do things around the house, and I thought my car stereo was sounding muffled....

    I usually wait until everything outside my place starts to resemble a wild life sanctuary and I start getting those ugly stares from my neighbors before I do the 'yard' work. LOL.

    I enjoy watching the rain. It rained here a bit on Friday, and it was a fairly heavy rain. I was working from home, and I liked that we got some significant rain after it has been fairly dry here for a while.

    I'd drop the bronchitis and ear infection out of the tradition :)

    But the QWK and raspberry scone ... Mmmmmm :)

    It's been super dry here for ages so nice to see some rain also.

    I must be getting older as I never used to think this way :)

    I've always liked the rain. I don't think it has anything to do with age. :)

    Yeah, the illness not so much a tradition. Scones prices have gone up
    almost double from our local bakery, I should start making my own.
    They're not hard to do, but hard to keep moist.

    I love rain in cars. It reminds me of my first car in high school and
    not having to walk to school in the rain.
