Hello Ed, re. pruning your neighbours trees. You have every right to prune what hangs over your fence. It is on your property after all. Just don't prune anything over the fence line. I am so lucky that I have generally had good neighbours. Now it is time for me to think about preparing dinner. Organic rissoles with beetroot and garlic that I purchase from the corner  store. They are so tasty. I will also have my usual fried mushrooms and tomato with fresh spinach leaves also purchased from the corner store. I think that I will also sneak in some frozen mashed potatoes. Now to go and do it. Hugs.

Hello ED, re. The Big Banana in Queensland. The only good thing about it was that it introduced me to chocolate covered frozen bananas. So easy to make at home. Did Tracey end taking home all of the outside toys or just a few? I went to the hairdressers today and now feeling quite pampered. Enjoy your day.

Hi Ed
My fan is a very old one, but works quite well. 
I have nearly finished my book 📖.
I believe it will be abit cooler tomorrow.
How was Sainsbury's?

splashed- Its another very hot one starting out here today but maybe rellief is in sight as they say about noon light rain and temps dropping==I hope so as everything needs a good soaking. Fire bans are in place and now there isno outside fires allowed(ought to be hard on the encampments) Don't buy any excavating type toys unless you want your garden all rearranged!!!) Have a good day and I hope not too much is said about your tree trimming.

Hello Ed, ty for the P-P and PD. Stamp my authority? Not like me! I just go about doing my job and quietly arrange things as I want with the approval of my boss. I will leave a signed note in a book for all to see re. the disgarded books. The politics do tend to spoil my time there. However I do enjoy working there and the friendships I have made. Now time for dinner. It will be a reheated serving of my Pea and Ham soup plus garlic bread. I couldn't eat it all last night. Enjoy your day.

Hello Ed, scrolling down I saw a week old post from you about little Ed. You said his father takes him to football and swimming. Great. You also mentioned not see him as naughty as he is now and you wondered if his need for attention was due to the arrival of his little sister. I would say that you are spot on. He also seems to be a little boy who loves / needs outside activities also someone to play with him. I hope that your purchase of outside games helps. Still raining here.

Hello Ed, TY for the Peace Dove. I am having an at home day today. Our nice weather has now turned Wintery again. Raining at the moment. Did I tell you that the Op shop does not belong to a larger group? In other words independent. We raise money for the Rosebud hospital and local schools. Plus various other charities in the local area. The backroom volunteers all work in certain areas sorting and preparing the donations to go into the shop. Books are my priority however I also sort CD's DVD's vynals and games if time permits. My area is a small room behind the main sorting room. It is also where the many large bags of dirty or damaged  clothing and shoes go for recyling. It is a cramped space. I am glad that you heard from your friend and you are wise just to listen to him and not comment or judge. Given that he has bone cancer and has just left his family for a new relationship I am sure that he is confused and really needs someone to just listen to him. Enjoy your day.
