down on the southern fleurieu, my mates are still lighting fires.. it’s kinda nice haha

annnnd to be honest she’s 9 and there’s still days out on walks where i look at her and say ‘what the fuk is up your arse today..’ bless her 🤣

wow that’s pretty full on, puppy’s do like to sniff all the smells, and have ridiculous amounts of energy.. can be like flying a kite some days, took me a good few years to get my girl to walk normally..

i only use a collar for ‘dress’ occasions haha.. i have a ruffwear harness for my blue heeler and she’s got some strength in her when she wants, never come close to breaking it, she also used to tow me on the skateboard with it.. pretty decent..

ahhh true.. have been watching the storm cells coming over the land.. fair point.. it’s tricky.. trees will eventually establish themselves, kinda acclimatise to a spot but you have to protect and nurse them through for years..

i’m 5 streets from the beach and get salt and wind burn from the storms..

yep i would place bets this could be your problem, salt burn and wind burn.. those easterly storm winds are not your friend..

well i’m not taking a selfie in my pool room anytime soon then hahaha..

yep will/should reshoot, wind damage looks like sun burn for sure, i grow japanese maples by the beach here and have to protect them from the SW winds for the same reason..

wow… that’s actually surprising, they’re usually pretty sun tolerant.. they hate exposure to wind.. if that’s an issue at all?

yep agreed, generally morning sun good, afternoon sun bad.. even partial shade plants can handle full sun as long as it’s up to around lunch time. i have a west facing backyard so it’s a bit of a nightmare.. by mid summer ive rigged little shade sail type things everywhere 🤣

shade but not too much, watch the percentages of your shade cloth if that’s what your using relative to what you want to grow.. 🙂👍

this is a freakn brilliant analogy!!

yep just blocked all of em.. so sick of their shit.. ✌️

happened to be out walking the dog that night.. an iphone surprise haha

yeah it’s not great..

the boys all surfed yesterday near moana, i walked the dog down and watched, they’re all a bit crook today, full raspy croaky voice.. the smells pretty bad too..

smoke signals… definitely smoke signals 🤦🏻‍♂️

real life friends… Insta… alll on insta.. and everyone uses Messenger for group chats..

been manual labour worker for 30 years, properly fit but my body is falling apart and i’m only in my late 40s.. no possible way i’ll make 67 working full time.. im considering my opinions now before i’m ‘unemployable’..

was chatting with my American friends on their election night (montana, oregon, alaska) they were blown away by how informed we were about their politics, showed them every channel on my tv in Aus with their election coverage.. they knew very little in regards to politics..

thanks, yeah i like the pot too, love finding a pot that suits the tree 🌳

my old Ginkgo bonsai looking it’s autumn best..
was lucky to have leaves left on it after the storm last monday!!

yeah…. but it’s all about balance..

surprised he didn’t mention Toto as well hahaha..

a framed Albert Namatjira painting of a ghost gum and rocky landscape on a timer wall

this just popped up on my feed, thought i’d share mine, it’s a print of the original, my family still own the original i think, it used to hang on my grandparents wall.. there were 6 prints done for us kids so we each had one.. 🙂

just waiting on someone to shoot one of those self enlisted wannabe ice agents…. it’s going to happen and it’ll get ugly if it does..

hahaha i like that one 😁👍🏽

happy birthday!! 🎈 welcome to the dark side hahaha..

what a shitshow 🤦🏻‍♂️
