Re: What's the Temperature & Weather like where you are now?

Cold and windy. What I want to know is, why, whatever direction the wind blows, does my pool fill up with bits of tree? It is close to the house, so you'd think one side would be a little...

Re: Severe Thunderstorms - Brisbane/SEQ

I don't have a smartphone and never turn my mobile on, but as I am usually in the house with the computer or TV on, then it is not necessary.

Re: Around forty years here for me.

40 years, crikey! The uk will have totally changed since then. I find it odd going back after 7 years - I only go because mum and MIL expect to see us every 2 years.

RIP Sir Terry Wogan.

I can't bring myself to believe that he has died of cancer aged 77. He will be much missed. My 20 year old daughter in Japan just broke the news to me, which shows just how many generations enjoyed...

Re: Happy Australia day all

Happy 'Straya Day- a group of the neighbours got together for lunch and a good time was had by all. Rolled home and had to sort the pool out (after a cup of tea) and OH is stripping (paint).
