Se the currency type to what the seller wants, you pay the seller what the currency convertor says it is, and then paypal does the currency conversion and automatically charges you as part of the final figure you pay.

Uah, powdered creamer made of corn :confused: No fun, this allergic crap. I also have a hand full of allergies, but except of cat hair and birch pollen nothing is really life-threatening. We had a death here at an ice bar a couple of years ago when the ice man "forgot" to clean is ice...what is this thing called? Ice spoon? Ice shovle? Anyway, at his spoon were remains of hazlenut icecream - and the customer died a nasty death by suffocation.

Well, a shot of hazelnut cream into the coffee - anyone? :D
It seems like everything in the United States has *some* kind of corn product in it... Yay, government subsidized crops! We have *awesome* priorities in this country.

Wow, I'm a little bit jealous. I can't offer any beach :( but therefore 100% spring at 25°C which is also not too bad :)





Todays day was full of work in the garden. But tomorrow I'll only do some sports - got a little bit lazy over my bad cough the last days - and barbecue with a couple o' friends in the early afternoon. Will be a good day - beer's already in the fridge and the marinade is ready to go ;)
Have a nice evening! Sleep well

I am jealous of your gardens... They are beautiful. Sleep well!

Ah, what a LOVELY day. 27°C with some cooling breathes of wind. Have done some (minor) work in the garden. The rest of the time was about chilling and barbecue'in' with some good friends. Kids were playing "pew-pew" around the tree house or jumpin' and huntin' each other through the sprinkler while we "grown ups"...well, were a little bit jealous but covered that by drinking more beer (and other stuff). Way too much food was on the table but we managed pretty well to fight that down to the bottom. I guess there are five potatoes left, beer's empty as well as the grilled meat, sausages...ah yes, and some salad is left. And a rainbow trout. I grilled her anyway. Will be delicious tomorrow evening, eaten with some horseradish :)

So, well, hopefully you've had also quite a nice Sunday. I'm wishing you all a nice evening and tomorrow a good start into the new week!
Cheers!
Sam

The apple trees are in blossom, it is half past ten p.m. at 20°C - just wow.

Sad enough, next weekend we are awaiting rain again and a temperature drop down to 10°C :confused: Therefore, the next three days I will try to get as much hours in the sun as possible :cool::)

Yes even here in rainy old Wales it's been a stunning weekend. I am sipping a beer with all the windows open, it's 25 degrees still!

I am jelly as well... while the day is beautiful, being Tucson, we expect temps close to or over 100f.
Still, some things thrive here...






Vibrant just ground some french vanilla coffee beans and the grounds went into the grounds bucket. The egg shells from my pesto & goatchees omelets I made for Momma's Day went into the eggshell bucket.

When I plant anything, it gets rocks, gravel, sand, coffee grounds, crushed eggshell and then a potting or garden mix.
Works out ok :-)
Mostly...

The plant on the last pic is very interesting. Where in your garden - if you name it that way - does it grow...? :D

Tucson, wow - seems to be desert-like...?

In the opposite to that, we are living in the middle of the green, so to say: in the south of Hamburg and in the north of a great heath area where you can walk or run miles and miles and miles and every mile is more fantastic than the mile before. I'll try to shoot some pics within the next months :)

The purple prickly pear? That's actually a neighbor's front garden, next to the driveway.
Yes, Tucson is a desert, though the greenest desert I've seen :-)

I inherited a couple fishhook barrel cacti that have never stopped blooming and fruiting...


I have a little one of these (Red Bird of Paradise) that I'm really hoping establishes well... they bloom for about 9 months...

A veritable burning bush about 5-8 feet around (mine's a small 2 foot shrub)

LOL that honda is (according to data plate) painted "Pearlescent Plum" so of course, she's named Plum Loco... a real tryer... almost indestructible... like an Aurora, say... ;-)
Haha, like our Skoda. :) My ex was in japanese cars, but in my opinion the spare parts are much too expensive. Skoda is quite o.K. - czech daughter of the Volkswagen group - and ours is now 10 years old and still doing good. The spare parts for repairs are affordable and you can bring this car into every garage nearby :)

Good morning, btw.!

Thanks for the new pics, Rolo. I love cacti, finding them fascinating plants - and love their incredible bloom! My mother has had a cactus which was called "Queen of the Night". She only had a flower for one night, and that only happend one time in a period of several years - but this flower was simply stunning.
But speaking about cacti and fishhooks, my mother also got in touch one day with such fishhook - I remember that it was not one of her best experiences in life. I'm almost sure, that my parents went to the hospital. But since she's gone long years ago, these are only fading memories left.

Well, the starts with lots of sun, just like yesterday, with the difference that I am sitting in the office instead of the garden.
Lets do something for the soul:

Good morning! Even though I'm about to go to sleep. Man, shift work gives you some weird schedules. It doesn't help when your coworkers can't be arsed to let you know that you don't need to come in 4 hours early for that special 12 hour shift because they already finished up the project that you were scheduled to come in and work on. Time for me to go crash, I'll see you in like 8 hours. I'll definitely need something strong then!
