When not attending to garden tasks what other things have filled your day?

Last time I did that he came round and cut all the roots off of my cacti and put them back in the pots so they still looked alive

 

This afternoon went to see my friends and i did some singing for them.

 

Cor, were you doing your Elvis impressions again Logan?

 

No i don't like Elvis

 

Me neither. Not one of my faves.

 

I have to admit, I've no albums, but I've three Elvis singles out of a total of 80 in one of my jukeboxes.
I like to think that particular box is a good representation of 50/60/70/80s pop.
Don't be Cruel/Hound Dog
The Girl of My Best Friend
And you have to appreciate how popular was this. I like the fact that he didn't take himself too seriously.



Conversely, by brother and sister-in-law two years younger than my wife and myself, in their teens and twenties, bought dozens of Elvis albums.

 

I bought a weather station. It came a couple days ago. It has a self-emptying rain gauge, which I thought was cool. I need a pole to set the rain gauge up on so, it isn't installed yet but I have everything else working.

Lemme tell ya, they give you this tiny bitty little screw driver, so small with such an itty bitty handle that my small hands were way too big for it. There are teeny tiny little screws holding the battery compartment lid on that have to be removed to get the battery into the rain gauge. On top of that, the screws are over an inch long so you are there forever screwing and unscrewing that thing !!

Then, you have to go through a series of prompts to get your date, time, year, fahrenheit, all the setting you want set. You have 3 channels for it so that you can put up to three transmitters on it which will scroll through the temps in different areas you have the transmitters in. (like to monitor your baby's room temp as well as your garden and greenhouse, etc.) To do that you have a battery back up on the monitor and you must remove the batteries to set just channel one, for one transmitter, which I have. If you don remove the batteries you can't set it to just one channel. It also plugs into the wall but I want the battery back up on, incase we lose power.

Here's the display:
This was marked down from $64 to $45 and had 4.6 stars for reviews. I was surprised nobody complained about those fiddley tiny little screws !!
