Regarding summer activity here, we're often actually busier in the (Northern Hemisphere) summer, and not just because of our antipodeans; the British keep things humming around here as well.

I m looking forward to getting our house servant to drag my baby grand piano into the back yard so I can play it to my naybuz.

I do hope the lid doesn't slam on your fingers and make you yowl like a cat, I'm sure the neighbours wouldn't appreciate that.

I hope your easel duz not fall and trap your finguz and make you yelp like a dog and you spill your paint.

Do you paint your scenery or images of the flora plants blooming in your own garden?

Summer here in the heartland: getting up and outside to water/weed/do chicken chores before the heat and humidity sets in. 

I'll be taking a 11am siesta to avoid those 110º + 90% humidity days...just can't handle those horrid hot months like I once did, so I'll be checking in on all of my social sites around that time of day.

Cannot remember how many bird boxiz I have made.
I do some work in my workshop and sit on the patio in the sun doing other bitz.

Summer night clay shooting.

I WAS considering starting a thread on comparing home workshops on here someday, maybe in the Recreation section.

Victor could likely be another contributor..
Maybe Korben if he ever comes back..

AND perhaps a couple of others could surprise us, too ?

God keeps his holiday home 15 minutes down South of here,  on the western shores of Lake Macquarie...



@ eddie :

You do know that jealousy's a curse, don't you ?
