[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 200441, member: 1991"] G'day, on a cooler day. Sharon/LDM, I hope your sale goes well. Thank you for the reminder on the coffee - I was told that if I put coffee grounds around my plants, not only do snails not like the feel of it but it will kill the snails without making them too toxic to feed to my chooks. If I can avoid putting out snail bait, then that will be good because the Blue-Tongued Lizards eat snails - and snail bait. We lost a blue-tongue a week ago, it was hit by a car. I hope it wasn't one of mine but I'm afraid it was. We do have an unknown number around the neighbourhood. It's been much cooler today, we even had some rain. I haven't checked the rain gauge yet, I guess we had maybe 10 mm. I weeded my plants this afternoon and the soil was mostly dry, apart from the top few mm. According to the forecasts, it's going to be back to much cooler, more typical spring weather for the next week at least. RSVPs are coming in for the wedding - five weeks to go now. We're thinking of sending out a second round of invitations. It's been murder trying to organise this without upsetting the kids. It's starting to come together for us now. I've been picking native flowers for the budgies - our young male bird is getting very skilled at ripping a banksia flower to shreds in under an hour! mother in law has been complaining about a noisy frog in her pot plants (they make a loud "BONK" sound every five seconds, for 20 hours out of 24 every day). She can hear it even with her hearing aid turned off. Also ,the ko-el has started up early, probably because of the early hot weather. A ko-el is a native cuckoo, a large olive-green bird with a VERY loud call. My mother used to call them rain birds because they used to call louder when it was going to rain. But since we hear them in the hotter weather, when we used to get a thunderstorm almost every afternoon, maybe it's just coincidence. For us the true 'rain birds' are the lorikeets, because they LOVE to play in water and always behave as if rain has been arranged purely for their amusement. Winter is definitely over.
