HayDay Friends Off-Topic

[pristoph]

I tried Hay Day with my "off" hand today and didn't do too badly...even caught 2 fish. Then I tried upside down Hay Day. The fields look quite different. It was interesting and I had to be careful I didn't spend any diamonds accidentally.

Val, it's time to get out more! I think we need an intervention...
(*secretly goes off to look at farm upside down.....)

I was too lazy to tip the screen and make it right side up. Yes, intervention...please!!

So glad that visitor event is over. Now maybe the paper will be back to normal. What's everyone doing? I am attempting to melt crayons outside. If it works, I'll post a picture!

Hey, cool. I'm not sure where to find that number but I did notice the page count was 300. Must be 20 to a page I guess (that hurt my brain!). Let's celebrate with a dancing banana!

I have just made a mini greenhouse out of milk crates, to grow seedlings, and am now having a cup of tea. Have also walked 11,422 steps so far today, according to my pedometer. So am feeling smug and virtuous.

Sooo....did it work? Nothing much doing over here...work, eat, sleep, work, eat, sleep, repeat! I know what you meant about the event - I spent hours trying to find strawberries!

Same, with blue hats! And potatoes!

What are you growing Anthea?

Hi Sam. It worked to a degree. The crayons melted but I forgot they were out there so I missed my opportunity to smear the colors together....that was supposed to be "part 2". I will try again today.

What are you growing Anthea?

I've planted a variety of lettuces, spinach, rocket, chives, peas, and some forget-me-nots and calendulas (which my son chose). Later in the season I'll plant tomatoes, beans, beetroot, Swiss chard, and some other stuff, but we have to build some raised vegie beds first! It's on the cards though, we have somoeone to do it, just have to finalise size, shape etc. should all be ready in the next month or so. Can't grow lemons and limes here, unfortunately, because of gall wasps. There are a lot of mature trees in our neighbourhood which are infected, and their owners don't cut off the branches and dispose of them properly, so any new tree that you try to grow just gets overrun. A real shame, I would love a lime and lemon tree.

I commend you on your efforts. I've never really gotten the hang of a veg garden here in the desert. I can't seem to produce much before the heat messes it all up. I could probably grow cotton, but you can't eat that! Send us some pics when you get your raised beds!

Hello, people! It's been quiet around here as we all seem to be busy - what with crayon melting, pea planting, house selling and jack white watching.....no wonder we've not been around much! Good luck to everyone with your endeavors! xxx

Who wants to come up with the next cool avatar change? Or community story? Or limerick?

Jack White watching is sooo time consuming! I must confess I have also been spending time on two new word games I have discovered, which you wordsmiths out there might enjoy: Bonza and Hexiled. Bonza is a different take on a crossword puzzle, where you are given groups of letters and you have to fit them together, crossword style. There will be a clue to help you, which might be a theme which connects the words. In Hexiled you have to form words from letters on the board, which then disappear, and you work your way to the edge to "escape" the board within a time limit.

Avatar could be a pic of whatever we have been up to recently... Make way for a Jack attack!

I am prepping my house for the market, so I had to move some things to storage! Well, I hired these guys...not a bad morning at all!
