What I don’t like to come home to after a day of digging around in the garden is news that a cyclone could arrive here by Wednesday. I am now a home owner and I don’t want my home to ever meet a cyclone. My husband just sent me an image he found and now [...]
Banana trees to be executed by lethal injection
Yesterday Peter found a business card and brochure at the new house from a banana inspector. He rang the gentleman today and spoke to him and it seems the banana trees we inherited with the house are to be killed . Their execution date will be scheduled some time next week. When we bought the [...]

How much can a ladder cost?
I got the day off work today and we went shopping. It was a pretty miserable sort of day if you are someone who does not like rain, but as I like rain I though the day was great. Highlights of the day The potato scallops from the service station at Silkwood, they were very [...]
