My 'floating friends' are coming to visit tomorrow!! They live on a small house boat in Jacksonville, FL. They sailed this boat down from Cayuga Lake, in Ithaca NY, in 2010. They've also sailed it across the Caribbean and spent about 1.5 years island hopping before coming back to the mainland. I haven't seen Frank since December 2011 and Denise since July 2017.
So we spent the day tidying up the yard. A very much overdue exercise. Yowee wowee is it HOT out!! My armpits are sticking together. I hate that feeling. Came it to cool off and putter around inside.

On a sad note, Fabio did not do any laundry and was forced to wear his Pissy Pants today. He did make a half hearted jump at me. He was mad at me for mowing inside the pen, weed trimming and using the driver to remove the remnants of the old run.
I plopped down in the chair in the run for some chicken time and his very gently pecked my finger. So, me being me, I kept trying to pet him. He kept backing up and pecking at my hand harder and harder each time. So I hoisted him up on my lap and petted the ever loving crap out of him!! He settled down, hopped off to tend to some manly rooster stuff and then happily ate some pieces of apple from my hand when I came back with a treat for him. He's so hormonal he's worse than Astrid in the broody breaker.

I used to quite fancy living on a boat.

I couldn't do it. I'm a land lover. And if I tried to live on a boat with Frank, he would have been shark bait years ago! I love the guy, don't get me wrong, but we go toe to toe a lot. Denise just rolls her eyes and enjoys the show!!

Yeah, one would need to get on well with the other half should there be one.

Seriously - for sure I'd have been rolled over the side with an anchor affixed to my body. As a matter of fact the Princess was just in a play where that is exactly what happened to her husband. Scary stuff.

As a rule I don't stand close to cliff edges, or guard rails on boats, when accompanied by a female.

I Know!

Several years ago the heating element in the roaster failed. I was forced to buy roasted beans and it as awful! I did find a local roaster that had some fairly good beans though

And I thought I was fussy about my coffee.

I am just getting old and set in my ways I suppose!

I have been roasting my own coffee beans since 1985
