I've started playing with the Hard Word on the Stuff quiz page. It's one of those where I reckon I get it within ten seconds or not at all.
Pretty much same here.

My daughter found two USB plugs similar to these but without the bulky case as shown, just a USB plug with a threaded fitting on the other end.

Anyone have any ideas as to the cords that thread onto the male posts?

Morning all. Drizzly. An early zapping session today so should be back for lunch

Lens is your friend. It's a "mini smart charger" on sale at Amazon.

Morning folks. Cloudy again, genny running. Going to the safari camp for a few beers.

About 15cm, which I will clear, when it stops snowing.

For Reddo, it was -30 overnight in Kittila.

Felt pretty good today, so I mowed half the front lawn today. If I feel the same tomorrow I'll do the other half.

Firewood restocked - looks like we will be getting a final blast of snow on Friday, like Talmacapt has just got.
Will probably be gone by Monday night, although the sunshine hours forecast will be 3 minutes less due to the Eclipse.

Good morning all. Grey day today, currently 17C, Forecast max 20C. Rain forecast for the next few days, with possible flooding out Bob's way. Won't be mowing the lawn by the look of things.

Rain forecast for the next few days, with possible flooding out Bob's way.

This is MY summary of likely flooding versus the entrails reader.
I just had a look at the Radar, so far the rain blowing in from the coast is petering out before it reaches us, it is more problematic if it reaches the
Dam catchment area and they start releasing the excess and the Hawkesbury River can't handle the flow. Dam water height is about 150,000 ML below the
spillway so any flooding should only be minor.

Thanks Jim, I'm sure your supplications helped.

Morning folks. 13mm of rain over night :-bd more forecast. The safari camp was out of beer yesterday. They are useless at stock control. Thought it may be the case so we had taken our own.
