Good Morning Monday, 8th June 2026

Good morning everybody and a special good morning and Happy Birthday to King Charlie and thanks for the day off.

Yesterday’s fog between Goulburn and Canberra:

Followed by brilliant sunshine in Canberra itself (still bloody cold though).

I went through one of those NSW privatised speed traps - fortunately 3ks below the speed limit (Bast@rds)

Daughter and hubby working on their cars this morning before he takes off for Bendigo for work tomorrow. Ice on the windscreens this morning, I warned you Canberra’s climate is awful.

She and I are visiting Slow Noodle Fast this evening for dinner takeaway. You get two meals in one.

Enjoy your day, happy birthday Charlie.

Take care…

The King’s Birthday public holiday is always the 2nd Monday in June for NSW and most states, for some reason Queensland has their King’s Birthday holiday in October but they’re a weird mob.

Is your long weekend next weekend?

Morning all – rainy start to the day but we are promised dryer weather for this afternoon

Any advice on how to keep magpies and crows off the bird feeders? They are bullies and keep the smaller birds away!

Gardener is due today – I hope the rain holds off and he can make it, if it is left much longer he is going to need a machete to cut down the grass. Now the birds have hatched and flown I need him to cut the hedges.

Apart from that not much else is planned

Take care – have a lovely day

Good afternoon all! :cloud_with_rain:

A wet day here today, never mind, a new mini heatwave is forecast to begin on Friday, not quite as hot as the previous one thankfully!
Today I’m watching the avacados ripen, that’s about as exciting as it’s going to get.

Although I have to say I’m very impressed with this

My usual film supplier/processer doesn’t stock Kodak 400 TX. So, I ordered a roll from a different firm. As you can see it arrived very nicely presented, the prepaid postage sticker is really handy, as is the quite robust box that can be used to return the film for processing, smart!:+1: I quite like the crazy little shark sticker too.

Enjoy your murky skied Monday people! :v::blossom:
