I've just bounded off the plane in Melbourne. When my brother and I checked in at LHR I was delighted when the very sweet lass said -oh you've been upgraded to F. So we wafted on board, enjoyed the Suite, sampled absolutely everything, slept like babies, enjoyed the CL in HK and arrived back in...

I just got a couple of snaps of my English cousins - we should have arrived in London yesterday and been gearing up for a cousins' reunion on Sunday. Poor love was bright red sitting in shade with feet in a paddling pool and looking ready to explode. 25 degrees?? Poor old Poms just can't handle...

I posted a parcel from Langwarrin last Wednesday going to Elwood. Lady at the PO said it might take a bit longer to arrive as they are under the pump. Arrived Monday to my granddaughter's delight. Nothing wrong with that service. Actually I've found Aus Post pretty efficient

Gave MrMac a 'reverse' mohawk....before I started I did say - I'll give you a trim, how hard can it be......Then I read the instructions and discovered it was my son's beard trimmer, no wonder it did a coughpy job. Good news is the barber's now open and it's been fixed.

I can't help thinking that our parents' generation would regard us as a bunch of sooks - coughing and moaning about having to stay home! Not to trivialise what's going on here. They really had no choice but to roll up their sleeves and get on with it, first a depression then a war, and only...

My brother and I would be in London, having had a marvellous flight in J with lashings of bubbles. The trip was a combination of his 70th & a gift from my family.Booked on points. He's not been back to the UK for 35 years. We'd have been recovering from a Cousins' family gathering - about 50...

A new Kindle to replace my elderly one with limited memory. I can read 2 books a week so packing for o/s meant a heap of books - I get twitchy if I haven't got at least 4. New one arrived & I'm halfway through latest release of one of my favourite authors. I put it on the floor instead of...

I did a small online order from Woolies last week; I ticked 'small vehicle' deliuvery and it arri ved in a Kia which I assumed was usually an Uber. nice to see businesses supple enough to adapt 1589168294 I've been making a point of asking checkout staff how they've been managing and...

You could put that into any street and it would still look just as fresh

I had to make a dash to the supermarket (have been getting online deliveries & the fruit & veg done by daughters) husband immuno compromised and we are both over 70. Gosh it was scary - how hard is it to calculate the correct distance? When one woman came too close I got a fright, exclaimed 'ah'...

Slightly OT - had to go into Harvey Norman's in Frankston yesterday to buy a small heater (previous died being used whilst WFH) Maybe my understanding of 'essential' is different. My goodness the joint was packed and busy. I had to walk through the furniture section & people were seriously just...

I buy it regularly and enjoy it very much. Was chatting to a friend on the Gold Coast yesterday and was also recommending she try some of the Aldi whites. Her husband does the shopping and alleges that there's no grog section in the store he goes to. I allege male blindness. Who's right?

some very talented photographers here

Trolling. As always the case with this one.....

Well being home all the time turns one's mind to cookery. I've been baking up a storm as we have been working heaps in the garden and it's nice to have a little something with a cuppa. I'm getting as fat as a trout! I've just bought online some Pilates equipment and yoga mats and we will be...

Yeah I don't get the Bunnings being open. How many things that are being purchased are 'necessary'? I have a fmaily member working there which is very handy as I give her my list - just garden stuff which is very handy whilst we are staying home. I nipped into the local shopping mall, on...

My daughter & a friend, b oth 19, did a a Kon Tiki tour which included a day trip to Gallipoli. They gathered at the edge of the cemetery & listened to the guide. She glanced down at the first grave, of a young lad who'd died at 19. Born in February as she was, and with our surname. It still...
