Feel Better:Complain About Anything

Good morning Granny Pica,

I have not been sleeping quite all of this time haha.
But I had a bad Ann on one of my shares, it made me very nervous so I sold it for a small profit.
Then I was checking my others and two of my very favourites were down a wee bit, so I topped them up and then a small top up of LKE which is up today. I still have a bit left over. But I am very cautious now as I don't want to lose my top 2% rating.
I am boasting now......slap hand. The Lion is behaving very nicely, I hope it holds again

I am a rose lover, but sadly no expert. What I remember from the golden showers was that it was very open in the centre.
I adore Albertine, we had a massive old one across the front of our old farmhouse, it was stunning, but flowered just once a year.
We visited the David Austin nursery in England. That man now recently passed on I think gave his entire career to breeding beautiful roses of the old fashioned type, mostly scented. I do have a couple, but they grow quite large.

Star jasmine is lovely, I also adore ivy leaved geraniums. I have a beautiful vigorous magenta one which grows very quickly, but I don't know the name.

It is blowing and cold here, very unusual for Perth at this time of the year.
Take care.

Hi @Joannie - I should be out shopping - but got side-tracked, taking out garbage etc. as it's probably going to be wet and stormy tonight.
I remember when we first arrived in Western Australia - which is now in the mists of history - 70s? - that people were always waiting for the 'Equinoxials' - storms, bad weather - that is - but of course, that would have been in the middle of the year, but they actually were referring to storms in October and usually it was still rather cold around this time of year.
the temperature has gone up, but what we are having now are those storms, and I may have gotten the name wrong, but I remember there to have been storms every year at around this time of year, maybe just a little earlier. I am pretty certain of my facts, as my husband worked for CBH and weather was something he always talked about, rather casually, but it was part of his working environment.

I don't mind weather, but am a bit cross this time, as I had picked my lawn pristinely clean only a few days ago and you should see it now . . . .
grrrrrr
what was it, that somebody famous said:
"there are two things, my girl you can't do anything about one is (your family)
and the other is the weather . . . "

I am sure it's a misquote, and I just remembered the weather bit - feel free to correct me anyone - I hate being imprecise
Take care JoJo
