Both our passports expired late last year (no planned trips so didn't give it a thought). There will be no more o/s trips for MrMac anyway due to restrictions on insurance cover. To be prudent though a 'just in case' scenario happened I thought we'd better renew. Clearly the universe has a...

Correction if I may. Just about EVERY other airline will look after you better than Qantas 1655711571 I'm so fed up I', tempted to say stuff it and turn the points into a toaster

Yup. Loved it - helps we grew up in the era of cowboy films at the Satdee arvo flicks.....Try Longmire too, an Australian actor Robert Taylor who you'll instantly recognise, though as we watched it a year or two ago I'm not sure where you'd find it. In fleeing the endless AFL coverage I started...

My husband lost his twice #1 was whilst gardening at our first home, missing for a year or s0, then one day while I was digging over a bed I caught a quick gleam of gold and found it. #2 was about 20 years later, he used to slip it off when playing golf and must have pulled it along with his...

The colour reminded me of Jarrah

I think where we have all gotten off track is using the words "Qantas" and "Customer" and "Service" in the same sentence.

I live only 3 suburbs away and was waiting for 10 days for a parcel to arrive. I suspect there's something very attractive about that facility that makes the parcels want to linger.....

That floor in the theatre is magnificent - what's the timber, do you know?

I'm in the middle of planning a replacement kitchen, a very small u-shaped one but I'll end up with a long bench on one end - had a big disagreement with the degigner about moving the sink ti it. I'm a terrible grub & after preparing a meal the joint looks like a bomb site. No way do I want all...

I hope all the AFF'ers who are affected by the terrible floods in Qld and our friends in NSW are staying safe

You should just tell them what bank interest rates are on deposits. That'll send them searching elsewhere!

We've recently discovered Carrum beach. Isn't it fantastic! The water is crystal clear even at the dog beach. A winner

It seems to my eyes in the last few weeks that IGA stores seem to have plentiful supplies of everything

My rudimentary grasp of Italian (which never stopped me from having a go) saw me ask a very nice assistant for strawberry - which is fragola. I of course mixed it up with another word starting with F. Nearly fainted when I realised what I'd said! He was very amused and the next day when we again...

I think they should publish photos of these drongoes in the paper - like the 2 women from Sydney who flew into Melbourne. Let their family friends and workmates see how little they care for others and are willing to put lives and livelihoods at risk for no better reason than they can get away...

We used to have a holiday house at Flinders, on the Mornington Peninsula - the house was in Bass St. A new house was built further up the street and the new people put up their street number and the name "Aswarby". The owner was astonished when I knew the name. At high school our houses were...

You can certainly understand why anyone e going back to England and trying to describe our wildlife would be met with incredulity!

Regardless of their crimes, you can't help feeling sorry for the convicts incarcerated on Sarah Island in the middle of a Tassie winter. No thermals windproofs or all weather boots. We had them all and were still cold!

Wow you have a lovely home Sam, it looks great. I like what you've done in the kitchen. Contrats and now you can sit back and simply enjoy

I say Sam, can we have some updated pics of the house - it's been a while and havng come on the journey it would be grand to see the finished jewel!
