    Fair enough.If it’s a running type grass like couch or kikuyu even a nuclear holocaust won't kill it don’t worry.Its coming to the end of the grass growing season as night time temps are dropping and grass will slow down.

    That is why we are in a hurry.
    Those grasses are at the front. 
    They didn’t like the Sir Walter at the back yard - too hard for them to chew! 
    Here’s to a nice green lawn 😉

    If you and stewy are not on to it Acelypryn is your friend and make sure you destroy the cocoons under eaves etc.Keep an eye out for moths also.

    Thanks Fabian we know about the chemical side. 
    Stewy does “eave patrol” around the place every morning. Mongrel things lay eggs on any smooth surface like garage doors, smooth plant leaves, outdoor light fittings etc 

    Stewy is a very experienced master gardener. He is renowned for our lawn. Real estate guys say street appeal plus plus. 

    We went away for 3 weeks and normally the lawn just needs a good mow and tidy up. 

    We cried when we turned corner and saw a very overgrown lawn. People were almost holding vigils as they thought we had died!! No car, no caravan and it looked  deserted and unkempt. 

    There had been a massive amount of rain and a lawn that was perfect nourishment for a a march of army worms. They will always go for the best lawn. 

    I ended up finding a guy who has a degree and consults for turf clubs and golf courses. He came to have a look and chat about things. 

    He reassured Stewy that his recovery plan would be good. He also sprayed extensively with commercial grade insecticide. This has worked very well and reduced the numbers to zero. 

    Fertilise, water like buggery and pray. Sort bindis and weeds done. It has greened up day by day. 

    I will throw up some pics later.

    I have much to say on lawn problems. 
    We are in the middle of a lawn that was wiped out by army worms. 

    I might make a whole post on it.

    The lush green is what it normally looks like.

    It was with the new group Donna, RV NSEW.

    Plenty to eat without heading to the shop. One fisho who was camping had too many whiting, so he offered me 4, that were gladly accepted - filleted, crumbed and cooked with some chips and salad.  :wine:

    I enjoy getting out of the park for a bit actually. 
    Only eat one or 2 fish meals when away. We give to others or throw back in. Too much fish gets boring!!

    We just got a nice kingie for Good Fri lunch (for those that eat fish) 

    Hope you group was enjoyable. Still seems some stuff going on with the other lot.

    surprised you tipped against your bunnies

    Ahhhh it’s a tipping comp!

    I am a Rabbitoh fan of course but to win this comp you need to tip the side that will win on the odds given. 
    You are doing well so far. 

    I need to get a move on 🤣🤣

    Forgot about until yesterday actually! Then forgot again until you tagged me. Back in the game but some catching up to do!

    You and I both!

    My tipping has been poor so far. Get all the round correct and you can earn 2 extra points.

    Fascinating stuff. I watch the AI things going on in healthcare. Plenty of day think tanks, virtual meetings and conferences within healthcare and pharma.

    I have some interesting convos with my daughter who is a secondary school teacher. 
    I play around with ChatGPT and the fb additions only to keep abreast of change.

    I like many of you are retired. I don't worry too much about what will happen as I am old. 

    We all are already using AI every day

    Here are a few examples 

    • navigation apps and travel assistance
    • face ID
    • social media
    • spell check
    • search engines
    • digital voice assistants like Siri
    • recommendation engines (including Amazon, You Tube and Netflix)

    I just started a TAFE online course last night that one of my colleagues posted on LinkedIn. I am already through most of the modules and it is plugging any knowledge gaps so far. 
    It is free and you get a certificate. You can take a few months to do it. There are small quizzes after each module. If anyone wants the link just yell.
