Posted - 12/03/2009 : 21:59:58 Yes well there are two of them on my desk here rulers I mean they sure come in handy too.. And another back scratcher in the lounge room.
When I was in the mud yesterday I tried to scratch my back with the rake handle it was too long so found a nice short piece of bamboo in the wood shed that did fine

Posted - 12/03/2009 : 21:49:47 use my ruler at work, god damm frustrating when you cant hit the right spot 
My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers; if they don't they're weeds.

Posted - 12/03/2009 : 21:47:32 Oh yes I have one of those long wooden back scratchers that look like a fork.
I cant live without it as Tony is not always where I am.

Posted - 12/03/2009 : 19:53:36 We had chicken for tea tonight... picked up a BBQ one from IGA and some fresh crusty bread rolls as I knew I was going to be late home tonight so no time to cook tea... great with salad The cat gets the parsons nose here though my sister loves it.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.
A ounce of common sense is worth more than a ton of intelligence.

Posted - 12/03/2009 : 16:16:59   MA. I've been out on the scooter to see what John has done and I did a check where I had him plant the small plants from you. The Colocasia illustris is looking good and I have 2 that look the same .I think they are both Alocasia macrorrhiza,perhaps you put in 2 of those .They were very tiny but have doubled in size. Now I see how big they grow I wll have to get John to move them later on. Today John cleared an area under the trees where it gets dappled sun through.I am going to get him next week to plant out a number of Gingers comprising , Globba ,Heliconia ,Costus ,Hedychium, Siponochilus,Zingber ,.Alpina .16 plants in all . The lady I got my Plumeria from [local] has quite a lot of Gingers. Now she is doing lots of Adenium.------- ------
