Spotted what looked like a Nissan Navara under all that mud on my walk yesterday morning.



Made me smile as it looked like someone had a fun time on the weekend........... and that I don't have to wash all that mud off!

Paper towel, Handee Ultra, at Woolies. Bought.

Also Italian penne, $2.00 instead of 89¢ for the Aussie one but it’s in the cupboard now, along with a big jar of SW kosher mayonnaise (that was on special).

Finding discrepancies consistently between availability on the website and actual floor stock.

After more than thirty years of using Gillette shavers, I purchased a Schick Hydro 3. Gillette lost me last year with their toxic masculinity ad. The only reason it took so long to make the change is because I purchased a lot of new Mach 3 cartridges just before the ad was released and they are too expensive to throw away unused.

Both the grass and driveway are cleanish. Although maybe he went to the local hand car wash and parked out of sight, asked for the $20 outside only wash and had the complimentary coffee entertained by the workers disgusted looks as they get underpaid to wash that thing.

I had a saucy Sunday.



We make tomato sauce each year, a bit of tradition and a perfect activity to distract the mind at the moment.







A haul of 30 bottles this year. The recipe book was my grandmothers and is something that I cherish. It's covered in stains and remnants of flour, nan was a messy cook but her food always tasted amazing.

Got a big bag of Fuji apples from my work mate for getting him out of a jam . His ride on came to a grinding halt a week or two back , his push mower snapped starter chord and unbelievably his line trimmer was playing up too.

Fronted up at 10 am with my Husky ride on , my 4 stroke MTD and my battery trimmer and while I cut all the orchard area and bottom lawn , Muzz used my MTD to cut around the house and trim around the paths . One and a half hours later it was all done .

We had a cuppa and then Michele and Murray (Muzz) offered me some of their gorgeous Fuji's after I refused payment for my fuel ..

Apparently I can have some more in a week or two .. So impressed with the battery trimmer was Muzz that he's going to buy one now but I urged him to go for a good brand one and a twin battery pack and he reckons he will .

Apples and converting a dedicated petrol head in regard to garden equipment is why I feel good today .

Saw an ex-girlfriend who is now a meth addict.

Child taken off her by husband etc. (fair enough)

I hadn't seen her for near 10 years, but seeing her smile again, and have a laugh together about better times we had made for a really good day.

I'm hopeful she can kick the drug but if not I'll continue to support as she is a very sweet, albeit troubled, girl. (30yo)

Look at you the hero not letting people make their way home whilst yourself not self isolating, meeting mates and interacting with people that you don’t know. You are a hypocrite. Pick your battles very carefully as you will upset the wrong person and you will be knocked of your high horse

It sucks that i have to do work at my mums house tomorrow, but i get to get back on my drumkit. Yeah it was new in 95. But i got it new and the only original parts are the shells. I both love that thing and do hold pride in the mega 90s touring band thing i did to it. Blank black remo bass drum skin with a billy hydes sticker. Yeah billy hydes have been out of business for years, but they werent when i was throwing parts at my kit.

Its not often getting a call from work is a good thing when on leave, but the timing of that call was impecable. I had just finished changing a power point for my mum in the most awkward position possible so was pretty over it, then work called and asked if i could drop off a bunch of things so another bloke can take over a job for me. The job in question i have been on and off for the past 5 years. Everyones had a go and nobody can work out a solution. Anyrate, any job that requires 4 x 1000mm long hammer drill bits, a 240v hammer drill, 2 x 1100mm long twist drill bits, a 240v drill, a drill bit sharpener and a set of screw extractors, is not a fun job at all. But its no longer a job on my list, and it was a good excuse to say to mum i gotta run, ill finish her list tomorrow. Also its a good excuse to finish the nibblies i took over today. Mum knows i always bring something, but i never say what. I like to surprise her with semi random stuff sometimes. Today i made a very good selection. Pitted kalamata olives in balsamic, coctail onions and salami sticks. A good combo in my opinion. Mum never knows what to expect. Sometimes its a cheese platter, or fancy dips and crap, or pasta salads etc from my local place, or craft beers. I like keeping that little bit of mystery for every time i visit the old lady. It means im welcome back next time.

A 12mm, a 16mm, a 20mm, and a 22mm. Reason for 4 is there are multiple existing partially drilled holes and using a bigger bit in a smaller hole as a pilot hole tends to get bits jammed when it comes to slabs. So different bits for different sized holes.
