Sudoku Puzzles

Anyone else getting bumped from the tough puzzle?

yeah

The 'tough' just sends me back here, Cathy.

I thought jeb was the plume de kansas.

Does that mean he has a feather in his cap?

Announcement of the day:
Meeting on open meetings is closed.

Either that, Mo, or he is the feather in the cap of Kansas.

...or is feather-brained in Kansas?

2:20 Maen! Uh-oh, muddy pawprints all over my clean floor...

Isn't Kansas the Red Shoe State?
Maybe the dog in the picture is Toto

Then again, maybe Jeb is Yankee Doodle.

...or the boa my dreams.

GannieMo - are you going to post some new pictures of your garden? I love all the photos you posted earlier in the summer.

At the moment Jane it is very much a work in progress. We are marking out paths and have decided to have no grass at all, but to have herbacious beds. Hence the propogation going on. As soon as I have planted out my spring bulbs and pansies the green house will be full of cuttings. My friends are getting used to me visiting them armed with my trusty garden knife and little plastic bags.

In the garden dept of a local store today I found some shrubs past their best and reduced by 30% so I bought a Leptospernum, another Forsythia, and a Caryopteris. Theses will form the background to one of the beds and each one flowers during a different season.
My spell checker doesn't like More...

Apparently Leptospernum is also known as the New Zealand Tea Tree

Because it should be spelt 'leptospermum'. My spell checker doesn't like it either, but my dictionary loves it.

There is a lot of information to be found at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptospermum_scoparium

You are correct Ian, spelling after a day in the sun is never good. Of course this shrub is well known in NZ and a little south of you.

I am going to have to rethink its placement as several sites that I have consulted say it needs protection from frosts.

What I would really like is a Pohutukawa tree, but that would never grow here

GMo, I was raised in Melbourne and am very familiar with the shrub/tree, it grows naturally along the coastal strips and is a pretty tough old thing.

Breakfast beckons.

...and bed calls me goodnight all

Goodbye till later!

Safe travels Anne, and enjoy your Kakadu and Kimberly tour in the NT. Say hello to Fiona for me when you meet her in Darwin.

Where's Jerry? This is his post...

Just missed - late ---- again. the story of my life......

I had to finish my electric service so as to be ready when the inspector comes...

Tomorrow is phone / dsl install day. I have to level and gravel an area to park the TT.

everyone. GannieMo & Ian from Sydney. I was very interested in your comments about Leptospermum. I bought some wonderful Manuka honey hand creme in NZ & never knew it came from the tea tree! Also, Mo, we have two NZ tea tree shrubs at our beach house in SC, & I More...

Start both the 11 minute timer and the 7 minute timer simultaneously. When the 7 minute timer runs out, start boiling the egg. The 11 minute timer will have 4 minutes remaining. When those 4 minutes have passed, turn the 11 minute timer back over. When it finishes, the egg will have had 4 + 11 minutes in the boiling water.

I like today's dog photo - this critter shows its doggish character!

I'm excited about watching the tennis match tonight between American Melanie Oudin & Swede Caroline Wozniacki. Jane, I'm sure you will be watching, too, & maybe a few others??? (Canuk Greg?) Go Melanie!!!

Jim, I think you may be about to get a ration for posting that on the Easy page

Yep! They're just about ready to start, so I'm off to watch.

Prediction:

At 10:00 o'clock tomorrow morning, Halliburton will announce that it is getting into the Health Care business...

I made a mistake. Caroline is from Denmark, not Sweden. Sorry. Anyone from either of those countries here in Sudokuland?
