Afternoon flock of Cockatoos…
This afternoon I decided I needed my medicine..not the squillion pills I take already but the medicine that i get from nature..here is my afternoon medicine and I hope it cures your ails too….
See that little tail tip…
A little head popped up from a burrow…
Enjoying the wattle blooms…
Fox watching the bunnies play …..
This boy was courting this little girl….
This big boy was scratching an itch…
This roo was enjoying a roll around…
Whoops..i was spotted…

Hello Bev: I hear you about leaving the blogs for a few days & so much can change!
We had a nice quiet weekend. I got lots of cleaning & chores done.
Watched oodles of Britshows & had naps with Nylablue.
Sat out on patio & read alot.
Today (Monday) has been a good day. Ddi chores 7 went to corner shop. Nylablue & I have been on patio since 1 pm. I read some & then Reeni & Ruth came over & we had a good visit….
Now off to figure out what to make for supper.
Nylablue is still snoozing utside; lucky girl…

Cleaning is cathartic for me; helps me feel focused & in control (which we know is just an illusion, hahaha).
Yesterday was the 3rd day of our ‘weekend’; jus tbecause we could.
Today was Vet visti with Nylablue (who behaved MUCH better) & tp Pet Valu for cat food & catnip & toys for the ‘Queen’.
We are then housebound for rest of week as heat detectors are being installed…..they started at south end of hallway so I am hoping they get to me tomorrow or Thursday…I had to reschedule groceries & Shelter visit as I will not leave Nylablue alone knowing strangers are coming into the apt. We have been told if we are not home they are coming in…..what if one is in the shower or on the ‘throne’?? I do not want Nylablue upset so I will stay in til the men get o our place & then wer are out on patio!
It’s always something 😉
Love S-E. & NB ❤ ❤

There is no longer respect for tenants. We are told what will happen. there are no tenant meetings & if one calls Property Manager she might call you back…
We know there are things to be done but it is the way they go about it that irks the tenants, Plus the memo said 24 hours notice & the people at other end of halleay from me had the Tech guy at their place 2 HOURS later…We need heat detectors like we need another left foot….this is ridiculous…
If they would not let drunks & addicts & mentally challenged in plus update the wiring there would not be a need for so many detectors….*sighs*
I hope you can rescue the Portulaca plants; I love them….they do not do well here in Witner tho’.
Have fun with the wash too….I was going to do some tomorrow but not going to happen. At least I can go another week if needed b4 needing to do laundry…
Have a wonderful day!

No management as far as I am concerned. The place is going to H*LL in a handcart. I & many others feel like we are in an institution. It is not a pleasant way to feel about one’s home.
I love the night time now. Darkness is my friend more & more. Just sitting with Nylablue & being in the moment; no people talking outside or cars zooming in & out or workmen….
I hope the Portulacas survive & yes they are succulents which is part of cacti family 😉 (Whose a clever girl??)
I also hope the Jacaranda tree will be all right…..fingers crossed!!
Hurrah the fence is done! Wonderful news!!!!!!!!!
Have a wonderful day & pace yourself ok????
