Hmmm - makes me wonder how we can eat it then! Perhaps that is why some of us may not be regular - we are literally glued up!

Many many plants can be grown from clippings - try it and see - I am no expert, but one of the easiest is the geranium - if a leaf breaks off just put in the group - and voila - a whole new plant = ain't nature wonderful!

Did you check the radiator?
A long time ago when I was young, Dad and I, had to drive out to the country to do a few jobs, after we loaded the Ute, dad checked the oil and overflow bottle off the radiator? I asked if he checked the radiator cap its self? No! he said, as the overflow bottle fills when the radiator gets hot and drains when the radiator gets cool? He was a fully qualified diesel mechanic after all and used to work on haul packs up north!

On our way home, Dad asked me what did the red light symbol mean on the dash? I said it’s the water temp and its not good, five minutes latter the water pump went through the radiator! But the over flow bottle was still full?

We latter found a bug had made a home in the T piece of the overflow bottle, you know how bugs get everywhere? It blocked the water getting into or out off the overflow bottle, and sending any hot water out onto the road,

So check your overflow bottle when the motors hot! But check your radiator cap at least once per month when the motor is cold?

And pay more attention too what your kids tell and ask you?

everyone who hates defrosting the ice from their old fridge, put white sugar on ice and it melts more quickly, and makes for a much easier, quicker job.
