My new, large downpipe runs directly from the top story roof down into the underground drain, bypassing the intermediary patio roof. Should cut out potential drips during torrential rain and keep Sunnya nice and dry while she watches the backyard.

Stretton, that's a good way to remember Saskatchewan's spelling! In tutoring English, I taught students various little tricks . . . but spelling Saskatchewan here in Oz isn't usually a problem unless you're a big Joni Mitchell fan.

matina, what are you doing today? Having a rest? Hope so. I keep remembering that my repairs are all done, and keep getting a warm, happy glow! Oh, joy! Blood test due today over in Katoomba and then tomorrow I'll drive over for a cappuccino with my friend. Not an exciting life, but I'll take it . . .

Katy, my nearly 24 year old grandson is about six feet, just slightly taller than his father. I was taller than my own father, but am now more or less a dwarf! Rishi and Sunnya settled down in the evening yesterday and entirely forgot their scary day hiding under the stairs and under the bed. In fact, both slept in this morning. It's supposedly up to 9 degrees here right now, but feels colder with the wind. So I didn't go out in my backyard. Sitting here, enjoying my house!

Ya when I give my address over the phone and say Saskatchewan, there's always a dead silence and I say just put the abbreviation Sk. and 9 times out of 10 they say 'oh good, thank you' with relief in their voice... lol... when i lived in Saskatoon it was quite a mouthful... Saskatoon, Saskatchewan say that three times fast... although now that I live in the hometown of Deadpool. I find they mispronounce my city more... hint - it rhymes with vagina people... lol...

Matina i didn't exactly take that many pics of the sea,most of them were portraits by the sea of me and my brother but the ones i did take are hopefully nicely shot because i'm not a photographer :lol: And i couldn't take a nice sunset one or when i did see it i just had my phone with me. Anyways,we just found out that we'd have to wait 8-9 hours outside so the driver of the bus can get his beauty sleep which makes me wonder why didn't the agency hire another driver instead of making people wait that much outside then we're off to sit in the bus another 11-12 hours so basically we'll get no rest. So i'm pretty mad about that considering we don't bave that much money left and if you don't go to some restaurant or pay for sunbeds you're basically out in the sun for 8-9 hours. :evil:
PJ love the pics as always!

Edit: added sunset pic i took with my phone a few days ago

Oh Katy you gave me a good belly laugh.... :lol: :lol: :lol: I thought I had mentioned before that I was from Regina... so it made me curious about what you found when you googled it, and my goodness, I didn't know I was supposed to be embarrassed about it... I guess people in China should also be embarrassed and no one should ever get sick with angina... oh the shame... :D and I assume those people that think we should be embarrassed never use the words lock, rock, sock, dock, mock etc. because they rhyme with c*ck... people are so weird, we think its hilarious... and after all it could be worse, I'm lookin' at you Dildo, Newfoundland... :lol: :lol:

Matina - hey we actually wanted to put up a Deadpool statue but the humourless people at City Hall said no...

matina, hope you had another reasonably good night's sleep. Good luck with your chiro today, and with your visits. You can, I hope, have a nice nap when you get home. I'll be off in about an hour to see my friend in Katoomba. Have fed my birds and Rishi is still sleeping in. Sunnya and I spent about half an hour in the backyard, while the sun was shining.

Fatima! What a cute pupper! Hope he finds a good home soon!

Katy, yes, my upstairs living room is looking good now, with my new pelmets. I used to have them where I lived and worked years ago. My repair guy is a French cabinet maker and does good work. Yesterday I visited my third French friend at Katoomba, who runs a crystal and gem shop. He also does some jewelry work and his hobby is repairing old clocks. It just dawned on me that I have three French friends, apart from the repair guy. 20 degrees? Gee, it's got up to 9 degrees here now and feels relatively warm. Some rain coming Tuesday, I hear.

FreezeMe, maybe they have a staff shortage over there, like they do here in Australia. Signs in all the shops, saying they want part time and casual staff. So many there aren't enough drivers. Sorry to say that your picture didn't post properly here at CC&BC. Are you using the Mobi photo posting app? (images.mobi.org) That one has been working perfectly for months now. Hope your money doesn't run out before you get home. I still remember landing in Darwin, from Timor, many years ago, with only A$20 and change in my pocket, and that was borrowed from a friend. But within 48 hours I had a job! The rest is history, as they say . . .

Stretton, I knew that one, but was good polite! Can't think of anything interesting that rhymes with 'Leura' . . . or 'Katoomba.' One of my favourite Aussie names is Wagga Wagga . . .

The coffee shop I'll be visiting soon is just near the building in this photo . . .

Bye now, everyone . . .

HELLO ALL!
PJ always nice pics it was a long day for me but home now.enjoy your coffee i am about t have one myself too.
KATHY i hope you had a nice day
STRETTON I am with Kathy on this we pronounce it Regina (Regeena) like the virgin Mary (the English language is a bitch at pronunciations) however having said that Regina is a Latin name. Plus Angina in Greek is pronounced anyeena (its the English that cant pronounce it so they spell it all F****D up) like sleep "apnea" is actually pronounced in Greek as ah-ee-pnee-ah. I see a lot of medical terminology that has been bastardised beyond words and belief.
FATIMA oh what a cutie pie. we had to stop on flagstaff hill road all four lanes did as a Koala made a mad dash from one side to the other the gorgeous little thing was freaked out but made it safely across no problems. not allowed to touch our phones while driving oh but i was soooo tempted to video him making his mad dash unfortunately i cant afford the $400 fine and demerit points off my license, however lovable he was.
KRISITNA didn't anyone ever tell you everyone goes home at 12 lunch time in Greece for a siesta and they return to work at 6pm work till 9pm then it is party central till 4am then work starts at 7am there is no replacement drivers not even for ambulances you pray nothing happens to you from 12 till 6pm otherwise just kiss your ass goodbye. even some regional hospitals don't receive patients.
well my coffee is calling me so off i go be safe everyone and god bless and be with you all.

matina, hope your Saturday is a good one. Sunny here, but rather windy and a bit too cold to stay out long in my backyard, even sitting right in the sun. Cockies are gone and I'm enjoying watching my crimson rosellas. Am planning to do some cleaning up in my garage this afternoon, now that the adjacent laundry is all fixed up.

Katy, good to hear about your family baked dinner. 'Collier's Crystals' in Blackheath and 'Wollemi Gems' in Katoomba are the two main crystal places in the Upper Mountains. Business seems to be OK around here since the covid pandemonium subsided. Here in Leura, we lost our newsagency and one of the two newsagencies in Katoomba closed last month. Shortage of doctors has meant longer waiting times to see a doctor. Those are the changes that have affected me. But I can buy my lettuce again!

Sherl . . . a scary surprise visit. Hope you're staying well.

Bye for now, everyone . . .

I hope you have all had a good day. it has been so nice and quiet today i love it. having a friend pop in for dinner tonight having home made yiros, cant wait it is nice having some decent conversation to blow away the cob webs. Things are getting very expensive especially eating out we will see what has changed at the pub tomorrow :? :? :?
time for coffee, Please be safe everyone and tell folks you love them and god bless and be with you all.
