Good Evening.
Good morning..
Morning..a storm is coming but they are safe in the harbour..
Just had a blood test so had a toasted ham cheese and tomato sanga and cappuccino..always goes down well..😊
I didn't take a photo of it, but the breakfast I made this morning was a cheddar cheese omelette, fried baby tomatoes, toast with marmalade and raspberry jam, a glass of orange juice and a mug of fresh-brewed coffee - very satisfying.
Didn't take a picture? I am shocked-- absolutely shocked I tell you!
What kind of a Gen Z'er are you anyway!?!!???
Parents in 40 Years
(Apologies if you cannot if you can't view this Buzz, but I don't have the technical skills to convert it)
Gen Z? At my age I must be a lot closer to the beginning of the alphabet.
Buzz backwards is ZZUB: double Z and back to B
ZZUB is my mirror image name.
My new project is the UNS Foresta 60E Paludarium. It has the same footprint as my shallow office tank that it is replacing. The setup comes with a rear chamber lid, the return pump with pickup tube, an atomizer to make mist, sponges and thread to tie plants to them.
The water and mist come through the slots at the top to create a wet wall with the sponges. I battled the mosquitoes to collect my own moss up at the 40.
Unfortunately the return pump failed. The manufacturer is sending me a new pump. I had to pull the moss sponges and put them along with 3 mini orchids that arrives yesterday into closed bins to keep them moist while I wait. I also have aquatic plants and mini ferns coming next week.
While I waited I've been playing with the hardscape. I think I like this...
It uses some pagoda stone and the wood that was in the shallow office tank.
That wood could be used as a prop for a horror movie.
Spooky
I am calling this one the haunted rainforest.
Good call.
Morning...when I was on Norfolk Island in February old man whiskers reminded me of horror films..if this grows on trees it's because the air is so clean and pure..
You see it all over Norfolk island...
Yes, that is a spooky growth - definitely belongs in a horror movie.
Her name is Goofy and she likes to sit at the edges of the yard up at the 40.
Arvo evil..had a bit of a hard time working out what I was meant to be seeing at first..
Wow you are lucky to have deer in your yard..
This is my wife’s aunt & uncle’s property. We are up there often though.
My, my, Goofy, what big ears you have.
I was tempted to say:
The better to hear you with my dear...
but I won't!
That was what was expected to be the answer, grandma.
This confused little guy thinks he is a hummingbird. The hummingbirds are not amused.
I don't think he has teeth, but maybe he has a sweet beak.

Very nice; a distinct composition that certainly qualifies as a "genre painting". Betcha' a "bamboo" frame would make this a classic!
Thank you very much.
Being able to see only part of her face because of her hair is tantalizing.
I agree.
