No, don’t shake a fruit tree if you don’t want to spend the next hour picking up fruit.
The poor peacherine tree was getting low to the ground. Which shouldn’t be a issue (if you are a tree) except it hangs over the drive way. The same drive way people expect to drive their cars on.
When l come home from work tonight, zooming up the drive copped me 3 peacherines down the windscreen. Which is what made me shake the tree to see if a ripe on would drop down.
Big mistake.
Yep. Some dropped!
Hope the Red Cross ladies have their jam cookers ready!
They are a bit decieving. It feels like a peach and looks like a peach. But inside the flesh is white and its a nectarine.
l usually eat one or two, Scott pulps some and makes pies with it.
l give a few bags of them around town to buddies and the boxes to the Red Cross.
And of course….
Grubbles dosen’t trust me. Thinks l’m going to poision her.
Monkey see, monkey do. If l eat it, so will Pink. Took me a while to snazzle the pip off her incase she broke her teeth trying to eat that too.
Still around the same amount again on the tree, waiting to ripen. l’ll not knock it again in a hurry.
l held a cat today at the market.
Okies, not a real one but it might as well of been.
Rain showers made a long day even longer (l sure love tarps on tarp off for hours on end!) but still was a good day all up.
l usually dont get a chance to walk around and look at other stalls but had a helper for a few hours so made the most of it.
l have a list of stuff l’m looking for to put towards the Harry Potter display. Not leaving it all to the last minute as such.
So anyway, on my list is 1 ginger cat. Crookshanks. Life size.
And boy, its taking some finding. l’ve seen plush ones that look totally fake, resin ones that are too small, black cats made from wire and spikey fur…but no ginger ones.
l found one on a stall today but it wasn’t ginger. For the grand price of $5, l figured l’d get it and try changing its coat color.
Took it back to my stall (after a few wags pretended to pass out cause they thought they’d seen me holding a cat – l’m well known for my aversion to cats!) On closer inspection, the cat has a motor inside but adding batteries did nothing.
When summin dosent work, l apply the ‘thwack’ method of fixing. Hey, its fixed two watches of mine that stopped!
Stuck the batteries back in after 2 thwacks and man, did that cat come to life.
l sat it on the roof of my car and it watched everyone go past. It has movement senors in its eyes so the head turns to follow. Touch it and it purs. Ignore it and it has a hissy fit.
Laugh!
One lady fell in love with it and offered me $50 for it but l weren’t interested in selling it. Having too much fun with it and it can join my robotic dog and pony on displays.
One little dog sure wanted that cat so we took it off the car roof and sat it on the ground.
For me?????
Oh. Its not real. Stick it then.
*snort*
Looking on the web, it turns out that this cat is a Hasbro cat, the same as the dog and the pony. It has light/dark senors in its eyes, a purr (found that alright!), ears move, tail moves (grab it and the cat has a hissy fit), it will crouch down or sit up and turn its head side to side. Not as noisy as the dog and pony with the mechanical movement either.
To give you an idea of how it moves, l’ve loaded up a You Tube video. Excuse the wet car roof, rain does that.
Dunno if l should risk trying to change its coat color now. Might stuff it up and end up with a calico cat!
MCOTAD fussed around the place today while l were slaving away at work so l come home to a pretty spikky looking house (and food!)
One of the well enforced rules at the swamp is ‘No dogs on beds’.
*nods*
l totally agree. 100%.
But may l argue that Pink Ink is not quite a dog? Almost human like….
She is like me – l hate beds made up so tight that you get strangled when fighting your way in.
So she helped me out like….
Zoooooommmmmmmmmm…….
It looks like she is playing but nooooo, she is trying to make the cover a bit more looser….
*bounce*
Taking a breather. Tis hard work for a little dog…..
l really should go to bed!
Sorry to the good folk whose comments l just killed. l saw a pile waiting for approval and was in old blog mode. Thought it was waiting for me to check.
l ticked summin and the lot went. Don’t know where, they just went and are now gone to God.
In my defense, l was trying to kill off the ‘you die, stalker bitch’ usual comments from ‘that’ lot and allow the civil ones through.
But it dint happen that way.
Sorry.
l’ll leave it alone now for those who are paid to do such things.
