[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 119941, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Linda, when the weather is so cold there's not much else to do but sleep, I guess. Meatloaf plus sweet potato - definitely sounds like comfort food. Sharon/Wiped, sorry to hear you have computer problems. I hope the kids get to go outside today for recess. Sharon/LDM, cleaning the fridge - oh, joy. That's when you discover the compost on the bottom shelf... We stocked up on fresh vegetables yesterday, we have enough left to cook another couple of stir-fry dinners and then it's time for more supplies. We had a quiet day today at last. husband pottered around doing various repairs, the sun was out but I passed on going to the beach. I vacuumed my lime tree instead - we get those horrible stink bugs in it, they can kill a tree so fast... they seem immune to pest sprays, even when I get up close and personal with the aerosol can, but the latest advice from the radio gardening program is to **** the bugs off the tree with the vacuum cleaner. This evening I did just that, with our brand new dustbuster. But cleaning them out of the vacuum cleaner - interesting. These bugs squirt a smelly oil (from all the citrus oils they ingest) which stings if you get it in your eye. I had to empty the vacuum cleaner into a plastic bag and then pick the bugs off the filter, without getting anything on my hands. Not easy. But I did it! Now we have a plastic bag full of big black crunchy bugs, scratching around trying to find a way out. The whole back quarter of the yard where I was working, stinks of bitter citrus plus whatever else these bugs secrete. Bleah! But at least my lime tree is happier without those bugs draining its life. Those limes are precious - they taste better than anything in the shops. Enjoy your Wednesday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
