That’s what every fireworks display should be like. Spectacular but safe.

I see someone blew up their fireworks barge in NSW. I remember being in Melbourne years ago for a conference and one of the fireworks barges blew up on the Yarra the night before the display. I reckon it might have been Moomba. I was staying alone in a motel up in Carlton, heard the bangs. Didn’t know until I got to the conference the next morning what had happened.

Morning, peoples of 2018.

It is 27.6°C and 82% RH. Kind of muggy. Really muggy, really. 6/8 cloud and calm. The Official Rain Bucket has been measured and emptied. We got 34 mm of rain from the sharp flash-bang storms yesterday arvo and evening.

I have made no resolutions. I’m going to try to hold to that. I hope that, like usual, I fail…

Yeah. She seems to struggle psychologically to close out matches especially at home.

She’s been a very good player for years and years.. got that US Open win and 2 wins in grand slam doubles and 2 in mixed doubles. So, probly a better doubles player than singles.

Gotta go back to Evonne Goolagong for our next GS winner.

I don’t have lawn. I have grass. We’ve always kept a nice green belt around us over Summer. When we lived in Hawkesdale we usually kept 3 acres green and mowed over Summer. The local fire brigade were happy that we did it. Although in our time there it was not needed.

Yeah well, if you have the water to keep the grass green, a fire can shorten that equation very quiclky.
If you have no swater and there is no grass, a fire can still easily jump the space.

In my case it is probably about lag time.. I’m not sure but pictures show up fine on my computer, off the camera but in reality I do need to save them to my computer before dropping them here or they do come up as rotationally decrepit.
Here’s one I rotated and saved back to the camera card itself.
It should be an image of where I cut the neighbour’s driveway thet last time we had three inches in 30 minutes. The current shot is of 21 mm in 20 minutes.

I’m getting annoyed with my Linux system.

There’s supposed to be a way to get Windows programmes like Photoshop to run under Linux, using an application called WINE. Alternatively, you can try doing that with PlayOnLinux.

However, it seems that there’s always another thing that you have to fetch and install before it will work. Then there’s another thing to get. And another. Then, when you’ve done that, it falls over because stuff has changed in recent times, or something’s corrupted.

To hell with it. Install VirtualBox and run Windows 7 under that.

It could be more of interest that my neighbour happens to be a bigwig in water resources and that though it wasn’t him who filled the dip with gravel but it is also clear that he approved of my kindest cut. Simply because I did that with scraping a mattock across, about six years ago and the finest cut, still exists..

OK. So the sun has turned now thta we see it from a new perspective. The problem is and I dare ye. In the past two days I have actually been unable to stand on anything that has been in the sunlight. Brick paths or simple naturally mulched ground. I recall as children we used to have two big gambles. Who could be the first to dive into the icy waters of political effluent that was channelled from the Murrumbidgee.
The second was who could walk the furthest barefoot across a designated patch of red sand. Mind, this was when a bitumen road was full of risky wet spots.

More decrepit possibly.

My decorations will stay up until twelfth night. We will probably take down the ones at work on Wednesday or Thursday because we close for leave on Friday.

Here is what I was edging and mowing this morning in concert with poik…

Before that I weeded out this garden bed so I could do a grass clipping/straw mulch when I mowed.

And it seems my garden ornaments are clustering around that bit of the yard at the moment. I do move them around at times. Especially the sheep. Although at the moment they are on some bare ground where the grass won’t grow so I don’t have to move them every time I mow. They are less than efficient at keeping the grass short.

Before that I weeded out this garden bed so I could do a grass clipping/straw mulch when I mowed.

And it seems my garden ornaments are clustering around that bit of the yard at the moment. I do move them around at times. Especially the sheep. Although at the moment they are on some bare ground where the grass won’t grow so I don’t have to move them every time I mow. They are less than efficient at keeping the grass short.

Looks just like ours… top, third towel from left.

She’s not as fussy as my daughter’s partner. He seems to want all the coloured pegs and cloth colours to be in the correct order.

>>Looks just like ours… top, third towel from left.<<

The olive green hand towel? I bought that from George Taylors Disposals in Warrnambool some years ago. I have no idea why I remember that bit of information. It would be handy if I could remember names rather than useless things…

I did match the pegs to the garment colours once. Mum was here and I knew it would annoy her. So while she was watching me peg out the clothes, I deliberately matched the pegs. I don’t usually bother. But I got rise from her. Until she worked out I was baiting.

So do I. They were not cheap. I bought them one at a time over a number of months. I have three sheep, a ram, and a suckling lamb. Recently Bruna knocked the ram and broke one of his horns. I told Mr buffy he owed me a ram…

I think I have a better photo that I took when I bought them. Must be 7 or 8 years ago.

I think MV might get a wet arse again this arvo.

But but the eyes are looking the wrong way?

Here is the first one I bought (I see it was in March 2011)

And then there were two (May2011).

In August there were 3:

I’m not sure when I bought the ram, but this photo is October 2013 and it’s my whole flock.

They are quite a bit more weathered now, but they are doing well. I keep them out of full sun.

For the virtuoso it is hardly different.

For the rest of us, incomprehensible maybe.

I recall Steve Howe slapping my proffered handshake away with a swipe of his left hand. He must have got a signal from Jon Anderson as to the strength of my handshake as his was the first. But we are talking waiting 35 years to shake their hands.
Later when Roger Dean picked me out of the crowd to talk about the art on my Tshirt, I asked him and He said that Steve had been in pain from handshakes before and if playing that night or soon after, he was not in the mood for a firm handshake.

Good chance. We heard the rumblings on our walk back from the Carlo Sand Blow. Walk? Did I say that? Dawdle, I meant. Now it rumbling heaps. It’s 31.0°C, and 64% RH. Unbelievably muggy…

that’s the perennial question. i can dispose of mine at the tip in town. some just put it straight in the rubbish bin. ring the council to see if they have a service. ask at the local mechanic if they will take it. paint a fence.

Looking them up on Google Image Search, they look pretty much the same so just get the cheaper one.

The Astra has an annoyingly sloped rear windscreen. Could barely see anything on the rear view mirror. And it wasn’t as responsive as the Elantra. But the Elantra sales guy was super pushy and annoying 🤔

We have been eating a spicy lamb ribs thing at China Chili recently and I reckon it’s something like that. The Szechuan peppers are weird things. They do odd things to your taste buds.

Well according to a senior government official, a very senior government official recently arrested, we might have another postal survey on a Republic to gauge the mood, the vibe of what the punters are thinking, sort out how to select a head of state etc but not until the Queen(blessing and peace be upon her) dies.
It seems a little callous and macabre, she walked all the way along an aircraft carrier deck and back inspecting the guard of honour the other day, she did stop a few times to say hello sailor but not a bad effort for a 90 year old.

I found that strange. I remember seeing lots of men sword dancing when i was regularly going to highland games. I remember seeing two men and two women dancing competitively. Lots of men in country dancing.

But one man with a large group of female dancers isn’t seen often.

All seemed a bit subdued this year, but maybe that’s my own mood. Some pleasant bits and pieces though as usual.

I don’t bother with the Tatt any more.

There’s a lot more to it than just the bands, but that’s all we get to see.

Although there may not be much more to it these days.

All the fun bits have probably been banned for ‘workplace health and safety’ reasons. Like what happened to the Royal Tournament. The field gun competition – there was an event.

…I mean took up quite a lot of their usual programme time, so perhaps the Tattoo itself is shorter these days.

Never been a fan of the TAT.

It has always been flavoured by Empire but I think all the money nowadays is in flogging stuff to the diaspora. Which is all very fine but the diaspora is seeking authenticism. That bit with the Skye Boat song and Caledonia. Well the skye boat song has always been known well internationally but it is now the theme for Outlander.

I was at the Tattoo in 1965 (Aug 22) when James Bond quite inadvertently crashed his Aston Martin into the crowd, not far below us and to the right (downhill). People were taken to hospital. Quite an experience for an eleven year old. I wanted to see all the blood and guts, but the ambulances scooped that stuff up…

The announcer was beside himself. He barely held it together.

Wet cobblestones and a sports car at full noise don’t mix well, eh?

I was at the Tattoo in 1965 (Aug 22) when James Bond quite inadvertently crashed his Aston Martin into the crowd, not far below us and to the right (downhill). People were taken to hospital. Quite an experience for an eleven year old. I wanted to see all the blood and guts, but the ambulances scooped that stuff up…

The announcer was beside himself. He barely held it together.

Wet cobblestones and a sports car at full noise don’t mix well, eh?

Blimey!!

Yeah. Pretty amazing for a kid to watch. Woodie reckons he’s seen it in YouTube and set me the task of finding it. I reckon he’s faking.

He is good value, he’ll be missed.
Never heard of SEN.

Anyone seriously hurt? Couldn’t find anything about it online.

I found a mention in the Sydney Morning Herald and another newspaper in the US. Also a photo of the car after repairs by an Edinburgh car dealer. I don’t remember anyone dying, but going by the announcer, you’ve thought half the crowd was dead. I think three or four people were hospitalised.

Mr Car, are you watching the Vienna something, something, something on SBS? Woodie is sure you are (or were). I had commented that it’s (almost) highbrow.

adam spencer hosting the drum was good today, so human he was all other TV seemed more like a creeping unreality of tight format and persona.

the dreary side is that if he did it all the time he’d get tired of it, and be half as interesting.

When I was a kid Christmas and New year were both important. We would always highland games on New year’s day and end up partying into the evening.

When my father was a young no one was allowed to go out on New Year’s eve. At the stroke of midnight they were to be home, which was spotless. And they were were spotless. In their best clothes. And after midnight happened they could party. They would go to the highland gathering. And party outside the gates until the gates were opened.

I recall Steve Howe slapping my proffered handshake away with a swipe of his left hand. He must have got a signal from Jon Anderson as to the strength of my handshake as his was the first. But we are talking waiting 35 years to shake their hands.
Later when Roger Dean picked me out of the crowd to talk about the art on my Tshirt, I asked him and He said that Steve had been in pain from handshakes before and if playing that night or soon after, he was not in the mood for a firm handshake.

What art was on your t-shirt?

It wasn’t my art. https://alisongreendesigns.com.au/
The tshirt with the perentie had been printed as one piece and then sewn together down one side. Roger Dean was interested in how it was done.

None of the above.
Your local council will have a collection point for such stuff.

In the old days, you would have painted your paling fence and shovel handles with it to protect them from the ravages of the environment.

Woodie reminds me there’s some leftover coriander here that could go well with a leek and champagne sauce, seeing as you are using leftovers. If you’d like it, of course.

:)

I cannot stand coriander.

It is a strange herb, depends I suppose on how it is pepared but fesh coriander almost tastes like someone poured petrol on it. The seeds are used in sweetbreads. It is a weird herb.

Morning, always nice when the place hasn’t collapsed after being away. Sunny and clear in the Styx, quite pleasant. Amazing the difference btw a humid and dry heat.

Good morning! Pleasant here too, after a mildly muggy day yesterday. Went for a gentle 9 km bushwalk in the afternoon, the humidity did me in a bit, a wee bit of heat stroke by the end. The trusty bottle of frozen water saved me. Didn’t see any snakes, always a good thing on a summer walk. I expect they saw us first.
I do love the national parks around the central coast and Sydney.

Morning all.

:)

My instrument tells me it’s 26.7& deg;C, 84% RH. My eyes tell me it’s 2/8 cloud (mostly high and all thin), and calm. BoM tells me to expect 30°C tops and that there’s a good chance of rain for most of the day.

I hope to start moving the dismantled garden sheds back from across the road today, in preparation for re-erection later this month. And Woodie’ll be going home today, after his summer holiday. Pity it wasn’t so nice down the beach, so we didn’t go for a surf.

:(

Right place now- Waves to Michael V and Woodie.
A big thank you to MV for talking about orange sauce yesterday, I explored the recipe at the Omnivore’s Cookbook and am going to give their crispy chicken and orange sauce a try tonight, it sounds extra good! FSM says his version is a bite of KFC followed by a swig of Fanta. Shakes head

I hope you enjoy it. I think it’s fabulous (with the lower salt and chilli, especially). It doesn’t have to be crispy dead small dinosaurs, either. Porcine, bovine ovine and piscine meat will do, and pretty much any vegetables. And the mandarin peel substitutes nicely for tangerine peel.

No mandarins or tangerines now but I do have a big bag of freshly picked oranges. I’m overjoyed that I will be able to dry my mandarin peels though, when they start up again.
Ha….I will be using the ‘crispy dead small dinosaurs’ term in future.
Today I’m going to pick a big bowl of cherry tomatoes and turn them into tomato paste with a bit of sun power. I better get on with it…

Also, cheap Australian dry sherry substitutes well for Shao Xing Chinese cooking wine. It has almost identical flavour and is not packed with salt (as the imported bottles must be in order to be sold as a cooking ingredient).

Rain coming in from the west so it’s pointless doing any spraying and I’ve run out of internal moulding so I’m busying myself filling gaps.
A cheap plastic mitre box and a tennon saw from Bunnings is terrific for doing cornices and the like.

Israeli archaeologists have unveiled a 2,700-year-old clay seal impression which they believe belonged to a biblical governor of Jerusalem.

The artefact, inscribed in an ancient Hebrew script as “belonging to the governor of the city”, was likely attached to a shipment or sent as a souvenir on behalf of the governor, the most prominent local position held in Jerusalem at the time, the Israel Antiquities Authority said.

The impression, the size of a small coin, depicts two standing men, facing each other in a mirror-like manner and wearing striped garments reaching down to their knees.

It was unearthed near the plaza of Judaism’s Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem.

“It supports the biblical rendering of the existence of a governor of the city in Jerusalem 2,700 years ago,” an Antiquities Authority statement quoted excavator Dr Shlomit Weksler-Bdolah as saying.

It was the first time a seal itself had been found “inscribed with the name of a position, the governor of the city of Jerusalem, while until now we knew it only from the Bible”, she said.

Has buffy been busy? Looks like another tourist has gone missing in the Grampians…

Yes, yes it is. I could do with a soupçon of that here now. It’s tiring and grumpy-making weather here. Hot and very humid.

(I started writing this, but Mum called, and I had a chat with her – she hadn’t answered the phone since before Christmas, and we were starting to think the worst.)

My advice would be to watch them in order

Sarah said she is crocheting a temperature blanket.

I didn’t know what that was so I googled.

She is doing it for the year since Henry was born. She is making all the under 10 degree days white.

Bugger.

I’m exhaustermipated too. But it’s the weather. I thought I’d got/gotten/get used to it, but I havent/didn’t. Hot and very humid is not sleep inducing.

This is the google found image. Sarah’s rug will be different seeing that under 10 degree days are white. And most of the rug that isn’t white will be purples, blues, and greens. Because Henry was born while it was warm the ends of the blanket will be oranges and yellows. There won’t be as many reds because there aren’t that many days over 30. We will wait to see what it looks like.

No. The Girl in the Fireplace is a stand alone. He managed to keep his fiddly back story stuff out of that script.

Ah, I know where this is:

Once you open a bottle of coke it’s got a shelf life of a day at best.

I’ve heard worse.

But, by crikey, i’ve heard better. A lot better.

I mean, i’m in Queensland, too, but i see no need to assault the eardrums of the online world about it.
