[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 297243, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Even though it's still winter here, there is a heatwave on the way. Sunday is expected to reach 30 C (86 F) because paradoxically there is a cold front right behind it and the approaching front pulls in hot weather from the interior ahead of it. Still cold at night, though. My rock orchids have been budding - trouble is, the blasted white cockatoos have found the flowers and have snipped them off at the base of the flower stem. I'm NOT happy - these things only flower once a year, the flower stems hold the flowers for weeks and weeks, they look fabulous - but every year these blasted birds commit vandalism. They're not eating the flowers - it's just sheer butchery by bored birds. easy child 2/difficult child 2 turned up today, I got back from my pain clinic appointment, put on a load of washing and it was just finishing when easy child 2/difficult child 2 turned up to do HER washing. While it was going, we visited my friend who is helping with sewing and also collected the next edition of the local paper (still looking for jobs for her). Then she visited friend while I stayed and helped difficult child 3 with his science experiments. Tomorrow I have an appointment to get my engagement ring assessed. The diamond needs certification so I can put the ring in for repairs and know I'll get the same diamond back. Years ago my sister put her ring in for cleaning (several times, different jewellers) and each time she got it back, another of the 10 diamonds had been swapped for a poorer quality one. She watched the white diamonds getting swapped for yellow. No proof, nothing she could do except not go back to THAT jeweller again... but with my ring, it's never been in a jeweller's hands since the day we got it. But the setting is worn and needs to be re-set. If I can, I'd like it to be done before easy child 2/difficult child 2's wedding, in 6 weeks' time. My friend is coming with me, she promised to take me shopping for an outfit for the wedding. I did a bit of window shopping yesterday, I know which shops to avoid! Enjoy your Thursday, everyone.
