Good morning weekenderinos. Bucketing down with rain here but I need to head out. I am taking groceries to a friend who is having chemo and can't leave her house except for hospital visits. We are also going to make a test scarecrow for Halloween. On Halloween itself we might sit on the front porch and throw candy to kids. Maybe some kind of slingshot apparatus lol.

It is 2 o'clock in the morning and there is a party going on in the back garden next door. They are getting louder and louder, taking those gas canister things, drinking and keeping me awake. My bedroom is at the back.

I turned my lights on and let Alfie out to bark, to let them know I'm up without confrontation but they don't care.

And there is more than six so they breaking the law! Too scared of repercussions to report it.

Kaily, your neighbour is so inconsiderate. If it’s still going on a video or recording of the noise might be handy to keep. (hope it’s stopped by now!)

Patcha, good of you to help a friend. . A scarecrow sounds fun for Halloween.

Bim, good idea to turn your phone off at night. I’ve had mine about 6 years now and seemed to need charging more regularly, not keeping its charge. When I looked at the battery health it said service. Then advised to renew battery.

Kaily I hope they settled down. How annoying.

Patcha that’s a really lovely thing to do.

It’s Sunday afternoon and I’ve just got home. I went out for a drive and then a walk in the sunshine to ward off the AV and I’m feeling pretty relaxed now

The weather is absolutely perfect today! Wow, what a beautiful day ❤️

I dozed off for an hour, they are all in the house now. I can feel some very early noisy grass cutting coming up . If I can find the energy...

What a beautiful blue sky Willow.

I have been somewhat fascinated by the Dahab Blue Hole and once spent an entire weekend reading up on it. To all those who have it on their diving bucket lists but are looking for a bit of a challenge, here is a clip of New Zealand’s William Trubridge demonstrating how to free dive the famous arch. Apologies for the quality, but I couldn’t find an HD version. Still think it’s worth a look.

Greetings, Weekenders. Another great title, What About Bob! Funny thing, I heard a podcast the other day with Uma Thurman's dad who is a famous scholar specializing in Tibetan Buddhism and he told a story about meeting Bill Murray and saying "Baby steps!" to him, and how much he loved that movie.

Morning Weekenders

Kaily, that's very inconsiderate of your neighbour. People know they shouldn't be doing things like that yet just don't seem to care.

Willow, beautiful picture of what looks like a gloriously warm or hot day. It's cold and rainy here!

Welcome Snazzy

Amazing video Captain Haddock.
I fell in love with the trippy music soundtrack they used ♪♫♪
It seems to be from FC Kahuna / Machine Says Yes
I'll have to check it out, thx again.

Hey Snazzy!

Have a good Sunday (sober) Weekenders ☼

Captain, it’s amazing he can dive with no oxygen tanks. I saw a woman on tv do similar, fascinating. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Awake, I had to google Taoist text. Some lessons for all humans I think.

Hiya Snazzy

Thank you, CaptainHaddock; what a skilled, free diver!

Kaily, . An early morning mow.

Have a wonderful Sunday, all.

I don't know what an air boat is but I do have a headache! Been resting most of the day apart from a walk thanks to the selfish neighbours.

The diver made me feel slightly uncomfortable, he was incredible, but it reminded me of not being able to breathe. Scary.

Well my AV is quiet (thankfully) and I have been really good not having had any sweet treats for at least a couple of months ... until today. I decided to take a shortcut home from my walk that takes me past local bakery, my sugar av perked up, before I know it I am on the same side of the road as the bakery because its too sunny on the other side. Then I am discussing with myself that I will just look as I go past, if they don't have my favourite I will walk on by. Boom cake in hand being rushed home for greedy consumption. Now of course I realise what I have been missing and want more.

Salad and fruit is just not cutting it now! Ha ha could be worse...
