Pigheaded Males!!!!!!!

It was so much better here with the temperature all day, got to high 30's compared to Melbourne in the 40's!

We had a lovely coolish breeze most of the day to keep the temp down and did not even think about putting on the air conditioner not once!!! OMG!!!!!!!!! you say???? Jill what is wrong with you???????????? Hey nothing, I did not need it!!!!


BUT!!!!!!!! today is a different matter.

I got up at 8a.m. this morning and Gerard had pulled across the curtains in the lounge and kitchen which was great as it was so warm in the verandah with the sun belting in........ oh for the double glazed windows for a meer $1,000 extra could have made such a difference keeping the sun at bay!!!!! oh well if he complains it would cost heaps and I mean HEAPS more for that... but hey he won't anyway cause he knows what I would say!!!!

I sat on the verandah out of the sun for about 15 minutes I suppose before I gave in and went inside. Trevor next door was loading up his boat with the ESKY, yes the large esky, fishing rods etc so no guesses what he was doing today...

I looked longingly at the water as it was like a sheet of glass once again, but have to let my back settle down again before I even think of venturing out there. That Kayak needs to fall out of the sky pretty soon to satisfy me with my longing passion.

Just need to be able to work out how I am going to get it to the water by myself, even with a wheely trolley, I need to get it onto it and then take it off the trolley and then the next challenge is to get into the kayak!!! whether gracefully or not and then of course the problem of getting out of the kayak when I get back and then putting the kayak on the wheels again to bring it home.


Goodness it looks like I will be on the search again for a man to be handy at call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol!!!!! Well at least they are useful for something!!!!!!!!

Aannyyyy wayyyyy, why my title, I had not expected to make such a hash of it on the male species as I have not got the the real pig headed topic as yet!!

so here goes.

last night was the perfect evening for a long stroll along the waters edge and up to the hill maybe................ yeah right. Gerard was happy to go for a walk. As usual he had to wait for me cause he was not ready when I was so I did not bother putting socks and shoes on til he was ready. Then he complained cause I put on some Aeroguard. Seems to be part of the daily body perfume for legs, arms and face and hair these days, real good odour!!!!! Anyway he as usual says NO!!!! I don't need any.

Well you should have seen him as soon as we stepped out the door. He was literally swarmed by the mozzies and I was not!!! I had such a lovely "short" stroll while Gerard spent the whole time smacking his arms, legs, neck all over himself and could not wait to get back to the house!!!!! WHY??????? cause he is so pig headed about spraying insect repellant onto himself!!!! What is it??? You are not a man if you use that stuff????? Beats me, I know I would prefer to stink of repellant and have a smacking free walk than to be so uncomfortable, irritable, unable to stand still type of walk!!! and cannot wait to get back home.

Anyway, I gather as I have not seen him yet today as he is working he will be covered in lots of itchy bites on his legs, ankles are the worst part, arms etc. While MOI????? nuh not a one!!!!! So I am comfy so I suppose that is all that matters he can scratch all he likes.

Also read the manual for the air conditioner today!!!!! Gerard was supposed to have read it ................. hhhhmmmmmmm

He has set the air con to freezing point I think as it is so cold in the loungeroom you cannot sit in it!!!!! So I have worked out how to be comfy in there and still have cool air coming out into the rest of the house. He is the one who grumbles when the electricity bill comes in and he is the one wasting it all!!!

Anyway I have had my whinge for the day, just ignore me as usual and I will get on with some other stuff now.

Today expected to be about 44 in Melbourne and here very high 30's.

bye for now

luv Jill xxx

Nothing could be more natural than nothing at all!! don't you think. He is just stubborn and reckons he does not want to stink of that stuff!!!

Mozzies are not so bad where we are, they seem to be real bad at Mum's too and at Annette and Paul's house. Maybe cause I use repellant each time or almost each time I go out now, I don't notice them!!!!
