My spam collection was a disappointment this morning. I use a thing called Mailwasher so I can see the emails on the servers before I download them. That means I can weed out anything I don’t like the look of and keep my computer a little more protected. But from what? This morning, it was from total strangers and stranger robots offering me various challenges with attention grabbing headlines (not) such as, DIY made easy! If I have anything DIY orientated, I use the GIAP method. In full, Get In A Professional, or at least someone who knows what they are doing. I was also offered, ‘Buffet woodworking plans.’ What do you suppose they might be? A trestle table of planes and saws? Woodchip vol au vents? How about a joint of mortice and tenon? (Get it?) I don’t know. Here’s a photo of our chilli corner.
Also in my spam collection today, a notice from FedEx Shipping that the package I am not expecting is waiting for my next attention which it’s not going to get and can be found by opening an email which reads: 8=0=0=8=9=00=0 or something similar. This comes hot on the heels of various SEO and web service cold calls, and my all-time favourite Moses bs valves. Apparently, they are the only valves I will ever need, despite the unfortunate including of the ‘BS’ (because we all know what that stands for). I got one of these every day, always at the bottom of the list just before the spam that comes in in the Greek and then Chinese alphabets. I now read Moses bs valves as ‘Moses saves’, and now and then, just for fun, I bounce the spam back. It makes me feel better, but it clearly does no good.
And now, some more of the plant collection.
The bougainvillaea has taken off since the temperature dropped, others are coming to the end of the summer cycle, the chillies are thriving, and the vine is starting to drop back, as it does. It will soon be time to prepare for the wetter weather by cutting the vine right back and painting the flat roof to prevent leaks. That’s assuming we get some rain. These days, who knows?
