I'll take one too if you find someone with a few... I'm not sure what this 'holiday' thing IS of which you speak, but it sounds interesting...

Thanks, yeah that caught a few people by surprise. They’ll be right I hope!

Hope you’re feeling better soon!

Sitting here doomscrolling cyclone updates…🤞😕

My mum brought all her favourite pot plants inside and my brother stocked his eskies with “essentials” so they’re as ready as they’ll ever be…

My parents, brother and his family all live in Townsville, so I'm up there at least once a year myself.

The locals are actually thinking this will be a fairly 'baby' cyclone that they should ride out fairly easily (fingers crossed). That said, the panic buying has still been nuts. First-timers expecting they'll need a year's supply of bottled water, when you can just fill buckets and the bathtub ahead of time and have all you need for most purposes.

Most people are fairly prepared. My dad is in full-time care due to advanced dementia, and a lot of the staff there have actually moved in with the residents to ensure they've got proper care should everything go south.

And the night after. And the night after. And the night after.

Sorry, I had to.

At work, wishin I was on the train,
Being here is causing so much pain.
At work, wishing ill on my coworkers,
Would -I- be at fault if I went bezerk-ers?

I'd joke and say she's probably got a Barina in the back, but the trays on those things are shorter than a bloody Falcon ute, so they're useless even in that regard.

(Let the hate commence)

You are very welcome =)

I think it's because we expect them to work as well as the ones we had plastered all over our bedroom ceilings back in the 80's... which of course were likely full of chemicals that would have a snowflake's chance in hell of meeting any modern safety standards!

I mean hey, they looked great when I was 9, and the fact that I now glow in the dark all by myself is just a cool side-effect =)

So if you're not home to receive it and he needs to come back later, does that count as the second coming?

I'll see myself out...

I saw both the Friday messages and was wondering if it was some weird coincidence or not. I actually replied to the reddit one before I saw yours.

But now that i know THE TRUTH, my reply to the Reddit one shall be duly deleted COZ THAT'LL SHOW EM the plagiarising pricks! =)

I've always had a thing for Ash Ferric.

Especially with the price of methane these days, what a waste.

Ha this is me too. Just a few weeks ago finished a big four-zone system all done in about 120m of buried 19mm pipe.

Thankfully it's all phone-controllable, so we've just been able to hit 'defer' and not have it come on in the rain... but the defer button has been getting a workout :|

When I made it I followed this recipe. It was also... messy...

Oh don't I know it - back before digital photography became 'a thing' I used to love taking photos using slide film, and still have my little slide projector in the shed somewhere (along with a couple of cameras to take said photos).

That said, man my slide nights were boring AF =)

This is a great idea.

Every year my wife and I pick out our fave photos of the year across both of our phones (because that's where they all get taken these days!), and when Snapfish do their big yearly sale at the start of Jan we get a hardcover photo book made up.

It helps to have a folder that we just dump photos we particularly like into as the year goes on, makes things quick come book compiling time.

Just this weekend gone our niece was staying with us, and she loved going through our little collection of photo books on the shelf, and I admit I enjoyed it too! I love the experience of browsing a book or album of printed photos.
