A2K time zones: What's the time where you are & what are you up to?

Okay, then I won't tell you how warm it is in San Diego

It's Friday 3:15 pm and I am pushing the kid to get ready for her volunteer job. We have to leave in 10 minutes and she hasn't even changed - luckily she wears a uniform, otherwise we'd be sitting here another half hour discussing why she can't dress THAT way outside of the house *sigh* - teenagers!!!

10:57 am, new years eve, Melbourne:

It's going to be a hot one today, followed by a couple of really hot days ....

So a bit of running around the garden this morning, doing what must be done:

Water plants, especially the big potted tomato plants. Check for new fruit. Feed tomatoes.

Fill bird bath with fresh water.

Fill cat's bowls with fresh water.

Awnings in place. (not the pull-down ones for windows, the big pull out ones which create a "roof" over my decking, which surrounds the back & also one side of my house.)

Drag the biggest tomatoes plant (in humongous pot) to a more protected sport on the decking ... out of the wind, which is building.

Discover a few small borage plants have returned to my garden, after ... how many years of drought? Stop & admire them. Welcome back!

Tell Poppy cat (again) to stop harassing me (she's getting impatient!) as I go about this urgent garden stuff. "I'll comb you in a minute!" That doesn't appear to work ... she's getting louder & bossier.

Comb the cat. Who (as always) dribbles profusely to show her appreciation.

All done! Everything under control!

Back inside to a very cool house & a cup of tea. Contemplating a quick visit to the shops before it gets too hot, to grab needed goodies before hunkering down in my cool bunker.
Thinking that reading the new book I borrowed from the library yesterday seems a very good idea later on .....

Totally off-topic, msolga, but how do you that ? -- put those check marks in a post?

I thought you were gonna comment on my fabulous post, Andrew ... not ask where I got the ticks from!

Answer: I stole them from another site & used [img][/img]to reproduce them here.

Apparently there are other ways, using your own keyboard, but that's way to advanced for me!

Ah, that's so clever! Using the [img] gadget. Thank you and a very, very Happy New Year!

(Your post, btw, is so fabulous it needs no comment. )

Why thank you!
I believe this may be the first time in my whole life that anyone has described anything I have done with a computer as "clever"!
I will savour this moment.


Well of course, of course!

And a happy new year to you, Andrew & all other A2Kers, too!

Its 9:34PM, Antonio is in bed and daddy and I are watching TV.

G'day George

Yes - we know ice at this end of the earth - it's the stuff you put in your drinks - or in a cloth to cool your head!

2.35pm, New Years Eve, Kiama, south of Sydney.

Just finished downloading and re-sizing the photos I took while out and about (wearing t-shirt and shorts, George!) yesterday and today. Preparing them to load to the walking stories thread.

Happy New Year, all!

ps...good post, Olga - you busy little bee!

8:00 pm here in southern California

Just picked up the teenager from her volunteer job and on our way home
I heard a loud bang on my car. First I thought I drove over something but at home I saw the mess. Someone egged my car while I was driving by....
I seem to recall seeing some young guys standing at the street corner,
but I didn't pay too much attention to them. Well it was fresh eggs so I got
it cleaned up in no time and tomorrow I have the car washed and all is good.

I am not venturing out today again, that's for sure.....too many drunks on the road and nutcases on the streets.

12:31 a.m. in eastern ontario

watching a bit of " coronation street " and enjoying my nigthly nip of benedictine .

also watching the TERENA webcam from amsterdam and see the amsterdamers cycling across koningsplein.

Stoneham MA, 11:21 EST
Grey, damp and cold.
About to leave for the gym with my man Rhys.

3.15am New Years Day downunder, may I wish all my readers a Happy and Prosperous New Year. We're in for our hottest New Years Day in a hundred years. Fridge is stacked with "cool" drinks. Heading for a catnap.

12:22 pm, Sunday 1st January, 2012, Melbourne:

I had to do it.
Mow the lawn, I mean.
It was outta control!
And the day was getting hotter (3o C degrees already & rising fast ...)
And I did wait till a respectable time (around 11:30) out of consideration for the new years eve sleepers-in & the hung-over .....
But the mower made a helluva din!
So I probably have enemies all over the neighbourhood now.
.... Or perhaps they'll think it was The Lawn Mower Lady (2 doors down) & not me?
That's EXACTLY the sort of thing she would do.
And I was so quick no one would have seen me!

20:30 December 31st, Toronto

playing on the computer
trying to stay awake
but I am NOT going to make it to midnight

Coffee, lots of coffee!

(But happy new year just in case you don't make it to midnight, ehBeth!)

thanks MsO!

I don't do coffee or colas. Had some choco raspberry bliss tea, but it seems to have relaxed me even though it's not decaf.
