What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Too Hot

Our days are hitting 28 Degrees (82F for my American viewers) and far too hot for a wig - the dresses are great as the breeze passes underneath, but wig makes it seem hotter and the make up almost melts off.

This morning, without chores, I headed to McDonalds in Ellerslie for a coffee. 

I had a nice chap compliment me on my attire and got to see a few really cool cars that stopped by before they went to the Classic Car Show.



I felt the outfit might have been a bit OTT for daytime shopping, so a car change into something a bit more appropriate for the mall.



The funny thing about fishnet stocking, I started feeling like I was old (like 40 years older). It's almost as if fishnets belonged to the generation before me, I was glad once I got them off.

With the new house, we have inherited lots of bamboo. So I had a coffee at the garden center before buying some "Cut and Paste" bamboo killer - think I'll be killing bamboo for a while. I did have a nice chat with staff and made sure wife got the membership points for the product.

Speaking of the new house, already passed the neighbour within a couple of meters while dressed pretty, I mean they would have found out eventually, not like I hide the fact.



 
Once the day got cooler, I did the usual "man stuff", lift the 2 x 2.5 meter greenhouse and moved it to the other side of the yard, lifted out the 1960's clothes line out of the ground, both without dislocating a shoulder or damaging my back - no need for weight lifting training today. 
The yard is now ready for me to hire a digger and create a couple of levels.
 
Think wife will be impressed her wish list is happening fast (hope I get more wardrobe space as a reward 😃)
