Is that the pot your juniper lives in? I bet it is going to look beautiful!

Yes! Not a typical bonsai pot as it has the drainage hole on the side, but as you’ll see in the next iteration of pics, I was able to run the shaping wire through the side and pull the plant up for leverage to keep the Shari out of the soil and prevent further rot (hopefully!).

Junipers are traditionally in clay pots, but I cheated (if you haven’t noticed I break a lot of “rules”) and went with this glazed pot. Mainly because at the time it had a built in humidity tray.

You've been waiting for someone to do that, Sin!

Noooooo.

Nope.

Ok, maybe.

Guess I know where I'm having coffee tomorrow morning.

 

[Sincity09]

Oooo ooooo pick me, pick me!

I mean, oh, where would that be?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I'll be havin' coffee right here with all you lovely people. It certainly seems to get it done.

Lol

I have posted the car pictures with Fred. I like cars - old is good. I saw this ad and have nothing either for or against Buicks, but this picture reminded me, if you played with the light, of Edward Hopper.

 

[Gamine67]

Edward Hopper.

It does, only Hooper’s house was white. But you knew that.

I heard one positive outcome of current events is more men are making appointments to see urologists after all the coverage that Pecker leaked.

Hey! Who’s up for a drink?

This joints quiet tonite.

Weeks almost over and started badly. But now we’re close to the finish line.

Going to see Me First And The Gimme Gimmes Saturday in Asbury Park. The ultimate punk rock cover band. Members are from a bunch of other punk rock bands (Lagwagon, NOFX and The Swingin Utters)

Lmao. Good point. Or the 70s knee-highs. Nothing sexier than a naked person wearing just shocks pulled up past the knees

I think those are popular again? With the pre-teens at least?

Wait? That’s wrong???

It’s my go-to look!

The kids wearing black dress socks with those Nike sandals makes me laugh

Hey! Who’s up for a drink?

Seeing as it's digital, I'll have a leggy red
(I miss wine - but not the headaches and hives)
IRL I enjoyed a ginger beer earlier

How about this

I always stop off somewhere on a Friday to buy my wine for the weekend. Not that I'm a big drinker but I like a few glasses each weekend night, it's how I chill. I've kept the beers to an absolute minimum this year and as a result I have lost 5Kg, or 11 lbs to the heathen.

One of my faves from a trip to Spokane, Washington was Latah Creek Merlot 1996.
All time fave was Chateau D'Agassac Cru Bourgeois 1995 (Red Bordeaux). Bought a bottle on a recco from the shop worker, fell in love. Went back and bought them out (6 bottles). Never found it again, but loved every drop. (Most of my friends back then didn't drink wine, so no sharesies)

Not sure how either would have aged if any was found today. But @ 2-3 years after the vintage they were delightful.

Best dessert out was at an Asian-Fusion restaurant.
Grapefruit-tequila sorbet topped with cracked black pepper.
OMG was that tasty!!

That's about 8/10 of a stone.
Beer's like that... beer calories hit differently.
Reminds me - I still have some wine glasses and a basic 3-bottle rack around here somewhere. I should donate them.

A stone is 14 lbs, right?

 

[hilton1958]

Off for my morning walk/jog, hope to catch some of you later.

6.3kg
14 pounds (US)

Never knew what a stone was for weight measurement until a year abroad in Scotland.

My bedtime.
Enjoy your walk/jog. We had amazing weather for a walk here today. Instead I met a few friends at a rooftop bar for happy hour. (That was fun, too)

I have wine racks all around my living areas, and a few in my workshop that have never been used, but that's because I went through a phase of making them, it was fun.
