Yes, I tend to have to remind myself what day of the week it is... I also need one to tell me when some "Holidays" occur. For example, today (Monday the 10th) is "Commonwealth Day" [as in the British Commonwealth of nations]. I only found this out as Government offices are closed. Of course...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 18.8C and it's presently 29.0C [heading to 32C?], fairly clear with a wee breeze. There was 0.4mm in the gauge @ 0900. Not much going on for today due to the very warm weather. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 17.1C and it's presently 22.8C, clear & calm. Yesterday was an arvo's work out in the shed, using the FEL with a pallet as a raised workbench. I'll finish that 'job' today. That Cyclone crossed as a Cat 1 and quickly downgraded to an ex-TC... no lives...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 14.1C and it's presently 24.8C, mostly sunny & calm. A major vacuuming of the house, not just the floors but walls/ceilings/doorframes/etc... was accomplished yesterday. Just 'one of those things' that needs to be done occasionally. My Mate in Brisbane...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 13.7C and it's presently 17.8C, overcast [no rain] & fairly calm... for the moment. Not much 'on' for today that I can think of, however stuff always needs doing. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 13.6C and it's presently 21.5C, lightly overcast & fairly calm. Nothing planned for today except for the Dental appointment @ 1450. The antibiotics I've been taking since Friday have certainly 'done the trick'. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 14.4C and it's presently 23.5C, mostly clear with a steady breeze. I honestly don't feel like 'getting up to' anything today, or for the foreseeable future due to this bloody tooth... which isn't actually the tooth itself but an inflammation of the jaw...

I use the Bureau Of Meteorology website. I can simply enter my postcode to bring up my 'local' BoM weather station, which is about 7 km away @ the aerodrome. It gives me a good future indication of what's coming my way.

For what it's worth, I would highly recommend getting the shingles vaccination (it's 2 'shots'; an initial one with a period of time before the second). I actively sought getting mine which, in Australia, depends on your age for receiving it. An elderly parishioner at my Church had shingles and...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 16.6C and it's presently 23.5C, thin/high overcast & fairly calm. Coffee with the Veterans, petrol for the ute & groceries all accomplished yesterday. After a quick lunch I decided to trim back a number of tree branches that attempted to tear off my hat...

Congratulations(?) to your Daughter... and, perhaps, to you. They can be a very rewarding 'money pit'. I'd be interested in her agisting arrangements/outfitting/training etc... I ask this because, if it wasn't for my 'late in life' discovery of horses, and riding, I wouldn't have looked for...

I thought that an application of "Tabasco Sauce" would free something like this up. Not immediately, but give it 24 hours. I advised a friend to try this and, apparently, it worked. I've not tried it myself.

Happy to help Mate!

My Mate (from Brisbane) and I have an ongoing Superb Owl 'tradition'... whoever loses in the previous year gets to pick their choice. I won last year with the KC 'Swifties', so this year he chose the 'Birds'. So, whatever it's worth, I'll be barracking for the KC 'Swifts' again.

Good (late Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.4C and it's presently 23.9C, mostly sunny, humid & calm. There was 5.1mm in the gauge from yesterday morning. Slept in this morning 'til 0900 due to Penelope the Pussybeast being reluctant to 'come in'. 2315 to bed and then I couldn't get to...

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy the site.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 14.7C and it's presently 18.3C, overcast with drizzle [rained earlier on] & fairly calm. The aerodrome reported 1.2mm @ 0900. I'll check my gauge tomorrow. Yesterday, after a brief trip to the PO for a parcel, I tackled the wattle tree branch = a 20...

Vent away, Mate. That's what we're here for... -------------------------------------------------------------- Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 16.6C and it's presently 23.9C, mostly clear with some wind. Lovely Sunday, although the baptism was postponed due to 'illness'. Very humid...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 16.3C and it's presently 20.9C, clear & calm. There was 124.3mm (that's not a 'typo') in the gauge @ 0700. Yep, the BoM underestimated the predicted maximum rainfall of 80mm. The Shire council was even offering sandbags yesterday! Things are drying out...

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy the site.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.4C and it's presently 16.0C, overcast & calm with drizzly rain. A LOT more rain expected today = warnings posted by 'those in the know'. There was 4.9mm in the gauge @ 0900. Yesterday I went into our Church hall, armed with a very tall stepladder, to...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.6C and it's presently 16.0C, overcast with a breeze. There was 17.0mm in the gauge @ 0900. The "people who study meteors" say that I'm going to receive a LOT of rain starting this evening & all day tomorrow (50 - 70mm). I reckon I'll head over to the...

I use those butane 'long end' BBQ torches to light my paper&kindling for my wood burner heater. Welder gloves for inserting the wood... especially at 0230... (I'm not physically wearing much[to no] clothing at that time of the morning. :rolleyes: )

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 15.4C and it's presently 16.9C, overcast with drizzle/rain. Gusting wind. There was 21.3mm in the gauge @ 0900. Successful 'into town' session yesterday. Yet another Wine Faery delivery at the PO and a great Veteran's Coffee catch-up. All groceries on...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 15.5C and it's presently 20.4C, overcast, humid & calm. There was 0.4mm in the gauge @ 0900, all due to the foggy/misty conditions... Which was perfect 'wood stacking' weather. I may have 'pushed it' a bit yesterday arvo, but survived. Today I'll...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 15.8C and it's presently 18.2C, overcast, foggy & calm. Mist resulted in 0.2mm in the gauge @ 0900. I'll get back to the wood this arvo. But first I'll need to make a wee trip to the tip to dispose of some recyclables. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low was a balmy 18.6C and it's presently dropped to 17.7C, overcast with a gentle breeze. Lovely weather day, yesterday. The 'end is in sight' for wood stacking... 3 days worth remaining, doing a couple of hours at a time. As per usual, I'm off to Church...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 16.1C and it's presently 22.0C, lightly overcast & calm. It should be a repeat today as yesterday; more wood stacking. Although the 'wine faeries' did drop off a couple of cases at the PO. Two more are expected... 'tis the season and all that. I've got...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 16.5C and it's presently 23.6C, partly cloudy & fairly calm. Yesterday it turned out that I wasn't on the computer-booking for the Dentist. Oh well. I made another appointment for 6 months from now as I'm not experiencing any problems. So I continued...

I wish that I could oblige you, Mate. Queensland doesn't 'spring forward', time wise, so I'm an hour 'in the future' to them and can't get my own lottery numbers before them. "Alien" lives up there, so you might try him. Although he hasn't been on the GM thread for quite a while.

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.5C and it's presently 16.7C, lightly overcast and calm. A productive day yesterday... petrol & groceries purchased then, after lunch, I got stuck into wood stacking for a few hours. Quit when I started to 'stumble' = "the heart was willing but the...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.1C and it's presently 16.2C, lightly overcast & calm. A goodly amount of wood was stacked yesterday and I'll continue this arvo. Weather is conducive to stacking and shouldn't be wasted. It's 'into town' day for groceries and I'll top up the petrol...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.1C and it's presently 17.1C, partly cloudy and fairly calm. There was 3.0mm in the gauge @ 0900. Yesterday I did get around the house & driveway mowed, although I was interrupted by a brief heavy downpour that seemingly 'came out of nowhere'. After it...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.1C and it's presently 19.5C, mostly overcast with sporadic rain & somewhat calm. There was 13.5mm in the gauge @ 0900. Yesterday's rain meant doing a couple of alternative tasks. Mainly into town to send off the 'driver medical' at the TasServices...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.3C and it's presently 13.2C, overcast with a slight breeze. There was 3.5mm in the gauge @ 0900 with rain predicted throughout the day & night. I completed stacking the 'house' [3 tons] wood yesterday + clean-up. I can now mow around the house if...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.9C and it's presently 17.5C, somewhat overcast with a wee breeze. There was 4.0mm in the gauge @ 0900... rain again predicted for this evening. It was a full day, yesterday. 'Into town' tasks completed, including getting the 'letter' requested for...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 16.3C(!) and it's presently 21.8C, partly cloudy & fairly calm. Rain is predicted this evening. Yesterday arvo was simply [and slowly] stacking wood by the house... slowly due to treating it like a jigsaw puzzle to lock the pieces & avoid major shifts...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.3C and it's presently 20.6C, lightly overcast & calm. Yesterday's Remembrance Day parade/ceremony went very well and there was a large 'turn out' of the public. Quite a noticeable number of Veterans opting to sit in chairs... 'time marches on', eh...

Good Remembrance Day (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.3C and it's presently 20.0C [heading to 24C], clear & calm. It's going to be a busy day today... Remembrance Day parade/ceremony @ 1100 (yes, once again, I've been tagged to be the "Parade Commander"😮). The arvo will be spent fixing a...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.5C and it's presently 15.3C [heading to 18C], clear & calm. Yesterday's meeting was very interesting & 'productive'. The bakery with the Eccles cakes was open too, although there was only one left! I grabbed a couple of almond tarts to go with it. Home...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low was a chilly 1.6C and it's presently 8.0C [heading to 18C], clear & calm. There was 2.0mm in the gauge from yesterday's off&on bursts of rain. I did get a lovely drive over to Pyengana to get some cheese, yesterday arvo. I'm off to Ross in a half hour for...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.5C and it's presently dropped from 18C to 16.4C due to a brief rain squall, which should be over soon. As such it's overcast and windy. Yesterday's attempt to acquire the requested documentation for my OAP application was successful. The most daunting...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.9C and it's presently 18.5C, lightly overcast & fairly calm. Yesterday's 'into town' was successful. Arvo turned very warm, for here, at 30.1C. All was 'going well' and then... I received an email that I had a message from "myGov" regarding my OAP...

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy the site.

On my 4105 ROPS, I've simply mounted a 6-LED lightbar underneath the top of the ROPS. I used a couple of cut-up "koozie' foam neoprene around the ROPS for anti-vibration and a couple of metal circular clamps to secure. My tractor has one, dedicated, male/female bullet jack, behind the seat...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.3C and it's presently 24.8C, mostly sunny & calm-ish. Beautiful day yesterday and the delivered wood got stacked. As I mentioned last week, I did a 'complete stretching routine' prior to tackling that job. I also put up a "Lest We Forget" poppy flag...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.5C and it's presently 20.7C, clear with a gentle breeze. As all would know, this Tuesday is a very important day as it is, of course, Melbourne Cup day ["The Race That Stops The Nation"].🐴🐴🐴 The first 'ton' (ute-load) of split wood has already been...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.3C and it's presently 19.0C, lightly overcast and fairly calm. Apparently it's another 'holiday' in Tasmania again. "Recreation Day"... I don't know why. Being retired, I continually get surprised by these occasions. Heck, I have trouble remembering...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 13.9C and it's presently 17.5C, clear [after an early rain with thunder] and calm. There was 1.3mm in the gauge @ 0800. Lovely day yesterday... I gave myself a haircut & beard trim. As per usual, I'm off to Church in a half hour and then the rest of the...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.3C and it's presently 20.9C, off&on cloudy and fairly calm [although a wind warning is in effect]. It looks like another 'putter' day today. That's about it, take care all.

Good early (Friday) arvo. Overnight Low of 8.2C and it's presently 19.9C, partly cloudy with a breeze. The BOM didn't 'fib' yesterday, a late arvo shower resulted in 3.4mm in the gauge @ 0900. I was on TBN earlier when I got a call from 'the plumber' that he could get at the Church's toilet...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.8C and it's presently 23.3C, clear with a breeze. The Bureau Of Manyguesses are covering their backsides saying that there may be some rain this arvo. Yeah, right. Yesterday was a funny day. I stopped by the PO, prior to the Veteran's coffee...

Oh NO! This one has 'hit hard'. RIP

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.3C and it's presently 17.5C [heading to 22C], partly cloudy & calm. Well, the first mow of the season is done. The Z-turn 'protested' a wee bit on start-up but fired up and performed great. House/driveway/front-paddock completed. Today is 'into...

Yeah Mate... although I've reminded/taught myself to undergo a series of muscle stretches prior to doing any big job. I'm ready to 'order' next season's wood and that will mean about nine 'day's' (an hour or so per day) worth of lifting & carrying to stack. If I don't stretch prior to that...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.4C and it's presently 20.7C, clear & calm. Yesterday turned out to be a run to the tip, bin was full and (somehow) the contents of the 'empty wine bottle box' needed recycling. I also stopped by the PO to deposit some $ into my account. I attempted to...

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy the site.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.1C and it's presently 18.5C, fairly calm & clear. My sympathy, wngsprd, for your loss. Oh, I forgot to mention that on Saturday morning I received a text message notification that my OAP application was being 'processed'. (y) I'm not sure what I'll...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.2C and it's presently 13.0C [heading to 21C], overcast & fairly calm. Yesterday I just puttered around the house, mostly cleaning the bathroom & sink... one of those "I need to get around to that" things that I finally got around to. I'm off to Church...

'We' had a mystery water leak that was reported by 'TasWater'... I thought that it was a leak that had been repaired a few months ago but they said that the timing didn't align with their meter reading. I now believe that this tap valve was the cause and that the 'tenant' of the building simply...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of -0.1C and it's presently warmed up to 18.0C, clear and calm. Yesterday I went out to my workshop and correctly 'guessed' where the tap valves were. I then went back into town and changed both tap valves (always change both, eh?)... yes, the hot water...

G'day Scotty! I've had a Nespresso for approximately the past 18 years... I'm 'on' my second machine, not because the first one broke but because technology advanced. The 'original' (which they still make) uses smaller 'pods'. 2 pods would produce a mug of coffee. The new machine uses different...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.7C and it's presently 16.1C, fairly clear with a steady wind. A 'busy' morning so far. I received a call regarding a 'fully ON' hot water tap at the Church. So I've been 'into town' already and determined that the valves simply need to be replaced. I've...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.7C and it's presently 18.5C, mostly clear with a breeze. 'Into town' excursion was successful. A bit of a Google search showed an Aussie supplier of chimney/flue caps that were the type that I require. Naturally it took a while to ascertain the...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.7C and it's presently 20.0C, partly cloudy with an odd breeze. A quick trip to the shop that's closing down resulted in no spare chimney cap... turns out that they'd been downsizing for quite a while and wood heaters/supplies were one of the first...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.0C and it's presently 19.9C, lightly overcast with a gentle breeze. Yesterday turned out to be a dhobi day, followed by the Parish Council meeting @ 1700. That went quickly and I was home by 1735. Found out via my local radio station that my local...

Good (Monday) early arvo. Overnight Low of 11.8C and it's presently 23.7C, fairly clear & fairly calm. I was 'on' TBN this morning when the opportunity came to video call my Aunt (in Ontario, Canada), which I took. A lovely long call. The only thing 'planned' for today is a Church 'Parish...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.4C and it's presently 14.5C [heading to 20C], clear with a gentle breeze. Beautiful day yesterday [high of 26C] and looking to be a repeat today. I'm off to Church in about a half hour and then the rest of the day is His. That's about it, take care all.

Yeah, I think I'd been 'in' 12 years when I, on my own volition, sat my High School equivalency exams. GED. I didn't need too but it made my parents proud. I don't know if it made any difference on my Naval records.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.7C and it's presently 24.1C, clear & fairly calm. There was 19.4mm in the gauge @ 0900. I have no experience with the cost/getting a Uni degree. I dropped out of High School, just after turning 17, to join the Navy... and 'they' kept sending me back...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 13.4C and it's presently 15.6C, heavily overcast with a moderate wind. Raining. There was 12.5mm in the gauge @ 0900. What a great day yesterday! I was #4 in the queue when I got there... and my 'spot' was held by those present so that I could walk over...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.4C and it's presently 10.5C [heading to 19C], mostly overcast & calm. Heavy rain predicted tomorrow. Up an hour earlier for a relaxing morning 'routine' prior to heading into town in a half hour or so. I'm looking forward to receiving assistance...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.2C and it's presently 17.7C, lightly overcast with a slight breeze. A 'notice' on Fb from the local Council said that a 'Services Australia' mobile centre will be in town on Thursday (0900-1600)... no appointment needed, YAY! This will save me a trip...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.4C and it's presently 15.8C, high/light overcast with a wee breeze [finally!][[oh, who am I kidding, the wind will continue to blow, it's just tiresome after so many days]] Good, quick, trip to town yesterday for the PO and petrol. I'm glad that I...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 4.4C and it's presently 14.9C, mostly cloudy with a steady breeze/wind. There was 1.0mm in the gauge @ 0900. Yesterday, after changing into my new trakie-daks (light grey) I went out and unhooked the battery charger from the 4105. I transferred the...

Good (Sunday) morning. A crisp overnight Low of -0.2C and it's presently 5.9C [heading to 19C], clear & calm. In addition to dhobying my new towels/trackie-daks, I went out to the shed and put the 4105 onto the battery charger... just because I thought that the tractor was 'struggling' a bit to...

Sweatshirt material track pants/trousers. "Daks" is a luxury 'high end' clothing label in the UK... so we Aussies are poking fun at this. ;)

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.6C and it's presently 18.2C, clear with a gentle breeze. Fortunately it was clear last evening and I was able to see the Aurora Australis... mostly shimmering white 'sheets' and spectacular 'beams'. Yesterday's Launie trip was very successful. Good...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.6C and it's presently 16.8C [heading to 19C], clear & fairly calm. I'm off to Launie in about an hour for a 'Big Smoke' shopping excursion. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 4.7C and it's presently 17.1C, just become overcast with strong wind. A good day yesterday, Chemist stop and then groceries. Home & unpacked, then over to the Church to tackle that bell-rope 'guide'. That was 75% accomplished... I just need to come up...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.6C and it's presently 15.7C, fairly clear & calm. I made myself get up with the alarm this morning... OK, Penelope the Pussybeast encouraged me. I needed to get in sync with the time change. :) It's 'into town' day for groceries. Once that's...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.6C and it's presently 16.9C, clear with a wee breeze. There was 0.4mm in the gauge @ 0900. Typical (?) Spring weather... Yo-yo temperatures, clear & windy then overcast with a brief shower. That was yesterday, so another indoor day. I don't know what's...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.4C and it's presently 18.9C, partly cloudy with some gusting wind. Woke up this morning at my regular time but, of course, it was an hour later thanks to the 'Spring forward' time change yesterday. Glad that I'm retired and it doesn't really effect my...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.4C and it's presently 7.9C [heading to 18C], overcast & fairly calm. Raining at the moment... I'll check the gauge when I get home from Church. Yesterday was a lovely on&off of sunshine/drizzle. I've survived the time change and all clocks changed...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.4C and it's presently 18.9C, clouding over with on&off wind. There was 7.0mm in the gauge @ 0900. Very welcome rain last evening and into the wee hours. The Wine Faeries tempted me, again, with exceptionally priced 'mystery' cases! A$13.50 per...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.8C and it's presently 15.6C, overcast with a gentle breeze. Rain predicted this arvo. Nothing planned for today and that's OK by me. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 4.6C and it's presently 19.8C, partly cloudy with an occasional breeze. Yesterday's 'town run' went well and I did get some puttering done. Which means that there isn't a heck of a lot on for today. I'm not lazy... I'm savouring the moment. ;) That's...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.7C and it's presently 17.1C, clear & calm. Lovely Spring day yesterday. The High got up to 24C. It was so nice that I decided to give myself a haircut & beard trim. :) Today is 'into town day' for groceries. I'll putter a wee bit this arvo. That's...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.1C and it's presently 22.6C, clear with a breeze. A very successful day yesterday; tip run followed by a PO stop. Yep, the wine faeries again. Then it was over to the tyre shop with the Left front Z-turn tyre = short story is that it was, indeed, the...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.3C and it's presently 20.7C, light breeze & clear. Trace of rain yesterday arvo but nothing in the gauge. Well, the left-front tyre on the Z-turn is flat again. <sigh> So later on I'll need to remove the wheel and take it to the local tyre shop for...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.7C and it's presently 15.0C [heading to 18C], overcast with a light breeze. Brief rain predicted for this arvo. I was able to get my little air compressor to work correctly and hold pressure. I think that the bottom drain valve is the problem. Anyway...

I agree on the capacitor... but it didn't hurt to eliminate it as a fault. No harm/no foul. The compressor did bleed down a wee bit (130psi) after leaving it for a couple of hours. Still, I was able to use it to inflate the front tyres on the Z-turn. (y) I drained the tank and put it away in...

^^^ Well I'm sorry that I wasn't able to adequately explain what the problem was as I'm not familiar with air compressors. I realise that there are many different types of compressors; mine has no belt, is wheel portable... just a small 'shop' compressor. I know that there is a large capacitor...

Not off the wall at all! I always drain the tank after use and went out to ensure that the valve is shut. Perhaps it was sticking... we'll see. I will get back to everyone once I get this thing going.

OK, 'usable psi' means just that... it attempts to pressurise the tank, the psi on the gauge rises to, maybe, 10psi... which is an unusable amount for what I require. And, yes, the assembly was was simply attaching the handle/wheels & such out of the box... my last compressor worked 'straight...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.6C and it's presently 19.6C, clear & calm. Due to this calmer weather, the Fire Service decided to perform a fuel reduction burn across the road from me. The area was burnt in '19 but I guess that the fuel load was worth it. They are out there again...

I've recently bought a small replacement air compressor. I've assembled it according to the instructions yet it is not running up to a 'useable' psi. The power source required is a standard (Australian) 220V 50Hz. My only thinking is that, perhaps, I need to leave it 'plugged in' (not running)...

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy the site.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of -1.2C and it's presently 18.5C, clear & fairly calm. Lovely 'at home' day yesterday. Organisational phone calls made. It appears that the 'wine faeries' have miraculously deposited a couple of cases at the PO. I'll need to make a tip into town so that...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low was a chilly -2.0C and it's presently 15.0C, clear & calm-ish. There was 3.7mm in the gauge @ 0900. All accomplished 'in town' yesterday. Not much on for today so, that's about it, take care all.

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.7C and it's presently 14.0C, overcast [rain predicted this arvo] & fairly calm. Yesterday arvo I did successfully drop the two tree trunks. They fell exactly where I wanted them... feeling 'chuffed'! 5 'sections' with 2 of them easily cut into...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.8C and it's presently 15.6C, high overcast with [thankfully] a slight breeze. So, I should/may be able to tackle those two tree trunks for felling... naturally, once I've got a chainsaw in my hands, there could be some other branch trimming in...
