We built the wall in 5 hours and core-filled it in 3 hours the next day. The photo is Steve the brickie but I also have a pair of KT26s. I put the timber cap in place this morning. I put 3 holes in each 2.4m piece of timber and drilled into the concrete while it was still green. I cut up some left-over 12mm x 250mm long reo and drove them in like big nails.

Hot day here (and most places I think). Official reading at airport just hit 43.0ºC (109.4ºF).
Earlier a wallaby hopped in to have a nibble of the green grass -we try to keep it so close to the house in these extreme conditions. The sight of the camera spooked him so no photo of that.
The birds appreciate the bowl of water at a tap and this chap hogged the perch for about two hours.


We had an automated phone call a while ago from the Rural Fire Service advising of the extreme fire danger and giving some hints and contact details. Interesting phone number showed on the caller id; 0444444444. If that was a banknote it would be a definite keeper!

If I were you I'd be giving Donald Trump a call

On really hot days we will sometimes run a sprinkler for a couple of hours just for the birds.
It is amazing the different birds that come in for a drink and a bath and some of the antics they can get up to.

I have set up the garden hose clipped onto a garden chair and set on mister beside the chook  pen
the chooks loving it - pen is mushy but the birds are alive most importantly

the grass around the chookpen yesterday was covered with dozens of bees and they were all on water droplets - it was quite a sight to see

usually it's the birds that come down

That's a centrifuge from an Iranian reactor, the Seasol is used for making heavy water which is vital to the cooling process.

Good Grief, What a disaster.

Oh, there was light alright, just not the type I'm used to on the ceiling. The flames shooting out of the globe caused me a little concern .... :focus:

I must say that there are some other very interesting suggestions as to what I may have been up to :biggrin:

My local river the Greenough River has just broken through to the sea after the rains we have just had.
This happens probably once every 2-3 years and normally the fishing is really good when this happens.
I'm Off like a dirty sock, The truck is packed and I am doing an overnighter in the quest for a Mulloway or two :yahoo:.
