    hehe yet another oxalis post on the other place gardeningaustralia.

    And everyone arguing how to get rid of it (again) lol. It’s just that time of year I guess.

    Seems like the day for activity after yesterday’s blustery weather. The sun is making all the difference - that and the yucky feeling after rotmaxxing on YT all day yesterday in bed/on couch.

    So far aside from the usual cleaning, have given the air fryer as best a clean as I could (I suspect I need Jif and steel wool to really do the job), and done the big task of the day - cleaning the air purifier filters after over 6 months non stop operation in this awful dusty carpeted place. I should’ve done it ages ago; there’s arcs of very fine dust almost embedded into the plastic of the outer panel that I needed to scrub very hard to get it off. The cleanable parts are getting a good sun propped on my bed after the vacuum and wash. The carbon and HEPA filters probably do need replacing but I’ll do it when I get back (just two weeks before I go, seems pointless to replace it now).

    I so very deeply miss my plants… sigh…

    It’s a nice day. Good opportunity to repot some orchids, clean up the balcony and then go for a walk on the beach. 😊🌺🩴

    Yesterday was a day of vacuuming and laundry and today I’d like to do nothing, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen. Last night I decided it’s time to get back on my fitness journey/bandwagon/whatever it is. I lost a lot of weight and got fitter, but now it’s all back to how it was and I need to address it. Back to daily at home exercise and workouts. I wish my local park had those free exercise machines that other parks have, I love some of those! Hard to find an app which has good exercises for older people who don’t want to trash their joints or pay an ungodly amount for a monthly subscription. I’ve uninstalled a couple already because they’re too pushy for money, want to send too many notifications or have too many ads. The app I used last time has really gone downhill in this regard. So I’m still looking.

    Popped some codral original night tablets before bed last night and had a much needed good sleep. I’ve got the energy today to vacuum / mop and water the houseplants. I really struggle to just sit around all day long when I’m sick. That’ll be it though as I don’t want to push myself too much.

    In NZ I bought a toy Tui bird with a sound box. When the local currawongs call I press the Tui button. Silence in return.

    ( Tuis are adorable, they are about the size of a lorikeet, are dark green with little white tufts in their chins, are clowns and have a sweet call )

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqw9LvW2nvw they sound like R2D2!

    I also saw the Milky Way at night. 😊🌌

      They are so cute. I was amazed by Kiwis too - the way they stomp around in the dark. It’s so clear they had no natural predators. So glad you had so many good experiences on holiday

        omg, the kiwis are the cutest thing I have ever seen . We went to a kiwi house where they have kiwi research and there was an enclosed habitat with viewing under very low light conditions.

        The kiwis are so big which got me by surprise. Quite verbal with calls and yes, they stomp around. 💖

        We went here to the Nocturnal Kiwi house https://www.newzealand.com/au/plan/business/kiwi-north-museum-kiwi-house-and-heritage-park/ Photos were not allowed. In fact photos were allowed in few places, hence mostly beach pictures.
