The Good Day All Thread

Good Saturday morning all. Currently 22°C and clear. Its going to be a hot one today ...humidex feeling like 44°C. A good day to stay close to the pool.
A very stressfull work week finally over and a reset last night and I'm good to go for the weekend. Lots to do around the house/yard in the next 2 days.
I finally sold the car, so there is room to move in the garage for a good cleanup. Extra parts left behind so I can do a scrap metal run, and start getting organized. My son wants to hang his punching bag up off the A frame in the garage for a while so I'm going to let him have some fun with that.
I've already got a chicken in the oven and the laundry started. Next is a dog walk and then I need to water the garden. Its only 5:30am so I've got a nice early start.
Have a great day all

 

Congrats on the car sale. Have fun this weekend.

 

Good Sunday morning all. Currently 24°C and overcast. We had some rain during the night, I'm sure the garden appreciated it after yesterdays exteemely hot temperatures.
It was really to hot to do much of anything yesterday. I had both big doors open in the garage and a breeze so I started cleaning. Re arranged a bunch of stuff, swept the floor and got rid of the garbage and some scrap metal. My son was busy in the back hallway of the house chipping away at the uneven concrete in preparation for our new flooring. Now hopefully our contractor is able to come and lay the flooring soon. A couple more jobs around the house are on my list for this summer and hopefully we can get to them soon. Its going to be another hot day today, so a bit of time over visiting the grandkids and then probably more time in the pool.
Have a great day all

 

It's 12:18 in the morning and we just finished processing beans and beetroot. It is time to check my eyelids for pinholes now.

 

I bet you sleep til 10:30am !! I would have fallen asleep half way through !!

 

Good Monday morning all. Currently 17°C and still dark here at 4:43 am. I don't like how its staying dark longer in the morning.
Last night we had wildfire smoke blow in from somewhere, and I can still smell it today. Its also going to be another hot one, and the smoke is going to linger in the humidity and make it a rough day. Maybe I can have an early work day, which wouldn't make it a bad Monday.
Have a great day all

 

Annie— I had to just carry on.

 

You're Tough one, then !!

 

Good Tuesday morning all. Currently 17°C and overcast. Not sure if thats wildfire smoke or clouds but its not a clear day. And its going to be another hot one.
Lots of watering to do today, both at work and at home. We need a good rain.
Have a great day all

 

Good Wednesday morning all. Currently 20°C and clear. Another day of 30++ degrees and high humidity. I'm over it now and hope for a break soon.
Today my 'baby' turns 22! Hard to believe it, feels like just yesterday we brought her home from the hospital.
Off to work, hoping for an early day so that I can get home to help celebrate!
Have a great day all

 

Netty—Gefeliciteerd, we say here. Congratulations with your daughter’s birthday.
I say it every time— I just can’t picture you being old enough to have a 20 y.o. Daughter.
Have you got something planned?

Annie— I don’t know how tough I am, but my nature is to do what it takes to accomplish the goal. Perhaps not always a good trait.

 

Something is going on.
Since Sunday I started to notice a lot of activity in the air at night. I live equidistant from Jacksonville Naval air station and Savannah Army air base both have been having a lot of jets which fly back and fort to Pensacola Naval air base which is a huge training base for military navy pilots.

I sit on my back porch at night and have a beverage and have noted jets flying either one right behind the other in groups of 3 to 5 or, groups of three to five flying in formation. It isn't just one time either. One group will fly by then, just minutes later, another, then another. From 9pm to 1am it goes on repeatedly.

I know they are headed both to and from Pensacola and either Savannah or Jacksonville due to the fact they are flying straight east to either of the two bases on the east coast or west to Pensacola. My town is right in the flight path.

Now this is not normal at all. I wonder...are they practicing night manoeuvers in preparation for whatever may come from Iran? A fatwa he promised on Trump or might they be practicing for an attack from a Russian Submarine ?

Either way, it is not at all normal to have so much activity from military jets at night and nothing out of the ordinary in the day. These jets are not flying very high. They are quite loud and can also be heard indoors with television playing.

Anyone else near a flight path noticing a large increase in military jets flying at night? I've lived here going on 6 years and this is a total anomally !!
