those are ok, shouldn't need hospital, its the little brown ones you have to watch out for.

[Mendip]

its the little brown ones you have to watch out for.

That's what my dad always told me.

Yet here I am...

The little brick coloured ones are terribly nasty and to be cautious of....

[malmomike77]

^ been stung twice by the little ones, never went to get it seen to but they are like having a red hot knitting needle shoved into you and it doesn't cool down, keeps on for a good 30-60 minutes.

[Stumpy]

Wife reacted moderately to being stung. No real issue but did have a slight fever and she said her toe itched like crazy. Today back out in the yard with her flip flops on..

[Stumpy]

Today stopped off at the Lampang Nursery. This gal always has nice plants. I am training some vine plants to grow on my Sala and around the pool so picked up a few more.



On way back stopped at Makro for a few supplies. happen to see this Hazy IPA. will crack a few watching the NFL plays offs tomorrow. Nice ABV at 6.7



Got a few planted by the pool sala today.



My walk path behind the Sala. Next project is a brick path way





Added a big leaf tall plant to the fish pond and one of the lotus plants has 2 flowers already.

Painful, but can be fixed by a trip to the goldshop.

Wife told me so

[CalEden]

Go Niners!

Wife told me so

Save the wife two trips to the gold shop, just give her the cash! 555!

More exercise, the more they can eat

[Buckaroo Banzai]

Painful, but can be fixed by a trip to the goldshop.

Wife told me so

My wife and yours must know each other

[Stumpy]

My wife and yours must know each other

Fortunately I think my wife has got beyond the "Gold makes everything better" belief. Now it's just straight up cash which I go do sitting quietly with a quick transfer on my phone...

[Stumpy]

Was a crisp morning at 11.2C. Couldn't be happier. Shorts and T shirt weather.



Did some yard clean up behind pool bar area



Had a nice Ham sammich by the pool watching some NBA/NFL



Sitting on the edge of the pool with 2 of the mutts. Annie was considering a plunge but she knows i'd clock her.

Hit 32.6c today. Pretty heavy temp swings right now. About 20c

[Stumpy]

Busy day today.

Had a full day in CM. Late afternoon picking up our new Black Lab puppy

First stop was the huge nursery. My wife and I really enjoy walking around this place.



Picked up a few more plants for the pool bar area



Saw this and squeezed the bud a bit and man was it sticky and smelled strong. 150 bht if you want to buy one and let it grow.



Stopped by the lotus flower gal as my wife needed more clay and a few plants



Our Pajero stuffed with plants.



Stopped by Central Mall for some lunch and walk around.



Picked up our new ankle biter today. 9 weeks old. got home and did some socializing with the other 3 and I was tossing the ball for the 3, the little one chased after them almost instantly.

[DrWilly]

Oh, he is a c ut ie!

[Stumpy]

Oh, he is a c ut ie!

Thanks DW...He is a She and her name is Maggie. Wife got some funny ass video of her jumping around the other 3 older sisters.

[DrWilly]

Whoopsie.

I'm getting some serious pressure from Ms 11 to allow her a dog. I’m almost ready to cave.

[armstrong]

I think you need a garden for a dog, no?

[helge]

No.....

Would be convenient though

Just acting her retriever nature. You have fine looking dogs bro. Clearly weii groomed and healthy.

Our little lady just passed away after 13 years. A great sweetheart of a lady. Beautiful white Pomeranian. She will be missed.

[CalEden]

Cute little Lab Lass, Maggie.

[Stumpy]

Our little lady just passed away after 13 years

Sorry to hear Norts. 13 years is a great run. Lots of fond memories I suspect.

Thanks on our dogs. We really enjoy the fun and laughs they bring, albeit Sandy is obsessed with the damn ball throwing.

We already had a Border Collie bitch for e few years when the twins were born. Neither of us had much experience with dogs and nippers, so we played by ear. As the Collie was well trained and behaved, we just hoped for the best, keeping a close eye on them.

The dog was very protective right from the off. Visitors prompted our Collie to try and surround the babes as if in guard mode.
All went very well and the dog and the kids grew up confident and well socialized. Playing in the back garden was funny because the dog would insist on applying the herding instinct as the nippers ran amok.

He could get a happy toy dog that would go in a litter tray, well they say dogs take after their owners.


Btw Stumps that is one cute Lab!!!!
