Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Good morning all, nice autumn day with a little cloud around. Currently 13C, forecast max 21C. Feeling much better this morning, may be getting rid of the cough at last. Last night we both felt like a good Chinese meal, which we haven't had for years since our local closed. Ordered from another one ...

Re: The Cook Islands
Once while staying in Cairns the hotel had a couple of Cook Islands school sports teams staying there for a carnival. From memory there were footballers and swimmers, may have been others. The kids were exceptionally polite, but man, could they eat! Once the rest of us had our breakfast, they descen...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
News this morning that the baggage of the NZ contingent to the Gallipoli ceremony was lost in Dubai, including uniforms and musical instruments. The Australian contingent helped out where they could, but the NZ bugler had only 10 minutes to practise playing the Last Post on a borrowed cornet.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Apparently not all the sectors that were due to go on strike, did so. Very unusual. Türkiye is very respectful to the ANZAC graves and sites. And has been since Kemal Ataturk. Even during the war there was a grudging respect between the two armies. When I was in primary school we had a teacher who ...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Thanks to all overseas friends who are thinking of our day of commemoration. For me, a day of quiet contemplation.
Clear blue sky now, currently 13C, forecast max 21C.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Hope all is well, Wodders. Recent scan showed a 'shadow' on a kidney, but follow up showed it was just a cyst. Morning all, cloudy today but expected to clear later. Currently 18C, forecast max 27C. Off to see vascular surgeon today, presumably to have results of scan and forthcoming procedures expl...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Needless to say, the hinges aren't working quite as they are supposed to, but managed to adjust one. Got the 2nd one almost installed, then realised I had drilled the last two screw holes in the wrong places - measured 28mm instead of 33mm while working in the dark. That's the trouble with working w...

Re: The Cook Islands
Never been there, but looks like a nice place. Mate's sister in law went there and was sunbaking on the sand when a camera crew asked her if they could photograph her for tourist advertising. She appeared in full colour in an advertising spread. Not sure if she was payed - I presume so.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Good morning all, Blue skies, currently 20C, forecast max 27C. Had to go to Hardware Hell (Bunnings) to get some replacement kitchen cabinet hinges. I'd gone to the trouble of looking at their on-line catalogue and checking that the ones I need are in stock. Get there, and they don't have them. The ...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Good morning all, Clear blue skies here, Currently 12C, forecast max 23C. Had a couple of good walks yesterday, but woke up at 0200 and couldn't get back to sleep, probably due to Prednisone. Dose reduces today. Usually I don't have any trouble sleeping as long as I've had some exercise. Finished up...

Re: We need more
Years ago, Bernard Hinault, 5 time Tour de France winner, was interviewed by a friend for an Australian cycling magazine. My friend asked him how he trained, to be such a great rider.
