Cranky? Tense? Anxious?  I think you meant benign, relaxed and calmly waiting for the return of Thermothingy.
 

Did you see MY loaf of Sour Dough I made today?  We have good flying yeast DOWN here in Cairns..

You better get back to packing up your scrubbies, brushes, spatulas and stickers for us down here.


BTW the brush was terrific for cleaning the blades of sticky dough. And the spatula for cleaning the bowl.

I also made  yogurt today and the scrubbie was needed for  wee bit of e stuck on milk.

How is it you have found. so many useful things to go with the Thermothingy?

I hope my scrubbies are on their way so I can do my Christmas hampers.

I have found this today and have dotted the stuff all over the place . As I was moving the cockroach baits from around my Thermothingy one crawled out of the bait. Great!




Hope this keeps them away.

It is a white cream and you just put dots of it where needed and where you do not wash the area often.  I cannot think of what to do apart from sealing the machine up somehow but then I would not bother using it!  I need to have some sort of barrier.

Judy, was kind to share her scrubbies with me,  but everyone who sees them wants one.  You all know how hopeless i am at ordering on line,  so a very good friend ordered a very big lot for me and some for her.  Today I was able to give one to a friend as a 'spotters fee".  She spotted a double pipe loaf tin in an antique shop.
Gert ,  i could cope with the gekkos but not the cockroaches. Do they eat through heavy plastic ?  Think I will stay in the cold south with just the wombats.

That was a great find for you . Worth two scrubbies I think. And what A great idea  to have some scrubbies on hand to give .

Not hard heave plastic but then can squeeze into about any space and eat just about anything. 

Gecko droppings are not very nice either. When I have  my starter outside on the patio. I had to protect it not only from the rats , cocoul  pheasants but also the geckos poop as they run around the ceiling all night long. Sometimes the  ibis will jump on the tables and leave nasty white poop.

Gert - you know those glue traps? would it be worth making a barrier around the TMX maybe just using the base(s) - the roaches would have to cross it to get to the machine . .and hopefully get stuck . . .
