Hello Ed, I hope that you are getting to know your new laptop. You should clean out the old one and disable it. Techs can help you with that. Sounds like you have a good one nearby. I have to go through my rather large computer some time soon and copy photos and important files. Then disable it as it takes up too much room in my Library and I never use it. Amira was able to find my password for it as I had forgotten the p/w. That will be a job for a rainy day. Then I will take it to an Apple store so that they can clear it. Doubtful that it can be sold as it is about 30 years old. I have just spent the past hour on the phone chatting with my friend Terase. Always enjoyable. She will be here next weekend for Australia Day as they have no rentals. Enjoy your new day.

Morning splash-- white mouse ty. I really didn't think I would sleep well last night ,didn't sleep hardly at all the other night so yesterday was going to take a little power nap-- almost 3 hrs and Sagwa woke me because his supper was late!! But when I woke this morning it was after 7 --so slept the whole night. Now to check the locker room and see if my locker is full then get the key to it and away we go . Much better looking this morning--the predicted 10-20 cm. of snow yesterday turned into 40-50 so the world came to a stand still. But they have been out all night clearing and the sun is coming up so looks like a better day. I hope you can get everything straightened with the bank(at least I still have a bank that I can walk into to get things done.Have a good day and just to be safe maybe carry your umbrella(you can always knock some with it to get to solving your problem.

Hello Ed, TY for the White Mouse. Once again we are at each other's gate. One day I may phone you when that happens but not tonight as I am exhausted. No room for the books in the shop. I dread to think what will happen to them. I have to let go of my desire to save all books. HARD FOR ME. As for wild gardens, I am so happy that my Grandchildren can enjoy and explore my garden. So many adventures to go on. Up hill and down dale. Now I really must bring the cats in to feed them and quite soon I will be in bed with a book. Enjoy your new day.

Hello Ed, TY for the Mallard. The weeding? Haha in my garden the weeding will never be finished. It is a wild coastal garden. I love it. Lots of plants that shouldn't be here such as Geraniums. They are prolific and also add colour and attract bees. The Agapanthas are my biggest headache. They are so hard to get rid of and I have many. They are considered a weed here in Australia. Funny story, a British Hortaculurist came to Melbourne years ago to give a lecture on exotic plants and featured the Agapantha. He almost got booed of the stage. Have a great new daY.

Hello ED, TY for the Lovebirds and Forest seed. Home again after an hectic afternoon at the Op shop. Hundreds of books donated. I didn't have a hope of shelving them all. Like you I hate it when books are dog eared. Vandalism! Enjoy your day.

Sprinkles for your garden!

splashed-- We have snow--a lot of it and the schools are closed and usually the snow stays off my balcony but it must have been blowing because my windows are even all covered and I can't see much through the little peek hole that is there,. Didn't hear about Rory not playing in the US because of the fans--I thought they cheered him quite well except when he was one on one with someone else,and of course when you moan people give you more to moan about. Today they will begin getting all peoples stuff back in the storage lockers--they are to have crews here today,tomorrow and Sat. so then I will be able to ge my old walker and get the Christmas stuff away. Now if I could just get a little more heat I would shut up--- but I guess I will just keep on them for a bit longer(the milder weather was not to bad in here but we are back to the -13 today.Have a good day
