I suppose I could become Tannyarr, or Tan-yer (as in "I'll tan yer 'ide for yer if you don't spell my son's name right).
Actually I spell my name with an "i" not a "y" and I'm quite particular about that so I can't sling too much mud, can I?

Yes the days are blue and sunny and the sun is at that lower level in the sky at peak traffic times so that you can't see easily. It's a dangerous time of year on the road I think. Not that I would want the low grey clouds...Winter has been relatively mild in Sydney we had about 23deg a few days back. Just 3 more weeks to Spring and that sudden change to even brighter skies and warmer weather. I always think God seems to flick a switch on Sept 1.
I'm going out later today down to Brighton-le-Sands, something on I want to check out, maybe a walk along the shore. Back to work Monday and SHE WON'T BE THERE

Have a nice weekend yourself. Luv to you lav ...TC

I told my boss it was her or me, and she finally landed herself in it by taking over 2 hours for lunch, not knowing the boss' daughter was in the hairdressers below us keeping tabs on her departure and arrival times!!!
Oh joy oh joy is revenge sweet or what!!!
