Here tulips have to be dug up and put in the fridge for 6 weeks to hopefully get another bloom the following year . For me it is more miss than hit in getting a rebloom.

💗

what I have been doing is focusing on just one incy area, like the corner of the room. then have a rest after that. maybe I might be able to do another incy area or maybe that will be it for the day. I have also been getting my twins to put away 5 things each in a room. so 5 things in the kitchen. then 5 things in the lounge room then 5 things in their bedrooms. Every day I also have hospital home help. they make the beds with clean linen, do the bathrooms , Vacuum and mop . the only vacuum areas already cleared. So that is motivation to get the boys to help put things away

My grandmother had something like this. It is a mess. In her later years she remarried. Someone well over 30 years younger than her. She had in her will that he can live in her house for the rest of his life. After he dies then the house is to be sold and divided between her 4 children. As he is younger than her children it is most likely they will pass before him. And nobody knows if he is keeping up house maintenance or even paying rates.

Personally I would find having a brother or sister in-law living extended years in my house a terrible strain on my relationship .

Does this count? My son had an episode of ifish made on his shark fishing. Just about everyone in Australia seems to have seen it. Wherever he goes people recognise him.

Here they are called a hand bag and the purse holds money and cards and go into the hand bag. Purse is the female version of a wallet . My handbag has my purse in it, some nail clippers, car keys , handkerchief, cloth face mask, train timetable, emergency tampons and when I am out my phone

I have bookshelves or windows for the whole loungeroom walls so not really anywhere to hang photos. I do have a piano. Which is the perfect spot to put heaps of framed photos and things like Nautilus shells and world globe etc I go for the Victorian look, Interesting stuff and plants everywhere. I don't follow latest thing fads. And l don't like the minimal look.

So glad your kids were there to take control of the situation

I have never come across it and if I saw it in print I would think the typer had a stuck keyboard

Yes But the tax system is extremely easy here. You just log on to the tax office , most of it is prefilled, Add the extra bits and submit Takes about half hour

I am in Victoria It really was no issue here. You need to register for homeschooling and make an educational plan for each child for the year. Only if it is the child's first year of homeschooling does it need to be Sent in, otherwise you need to store it We are to loosely follow the state curriculum but it doesn't have to be exactly on that grade. It could be doing Egypt next year or foreign language only ever second year or maybe not at all because of the unique needs of the individual child . Schools do this all the time and they don't expect homeschoolers to do more than schools as long as some evidences of education choices is documented and stored in case you are audited.

Yesterday morning Twin 2 and I tackled removing a very large and wild tomato plant. We got it done, but I was so exhausted that I only just managed to make it back to the house then slept for over 5 hours.😲😲

no prom here in Australia either. Though they have debutante ball, the girls wear a white dress, like a wedding dress. I didn't do one

One of my boys calls it natural selection ~ human species ridding itself of dumb. He especially makes this comment about people climbing over safety barriers and standing on the edge of crumbling cliffs for selfies.
