Here it is Sunday.

Had our 8 meters of mulch delivered on Friday.  Kaye and I carted, tramped and spread the lot.  Need to do this each 2 ~ 3 years.  Dam good job by us.  Thanks for the big effort Kaye.
What this means is that the garden is virtually maintenance free.  So – off on holidays.

Here is pile that we started with.

Have just tried posting to the blog via an off line writer.  The one I am using is M.S. Writer from the 2012 essentials suite.  Free in Vista and 7

So far it is great.  Can post text, pictures, video plus all the formatting.  Not to forget categories. 

We will see how it goes.

I should start a list of the cranks that are pushing the nanny state.

A WORRIED Melbourne parent believes the city has become so violent at night he has begun campaigning to ban “drink-walking”.

Father-of-three Mike Cockburn last week launched a website calling for the introduction of laws making it illegal to walk the city streets with a blood alcohol content above .08 per cent…

If the ambitious campaign is successful, police would use breathalysers to detect pedestrians over the limit.

The “drink-walkers” would be fined or locked up, depending on their level of impairment, Mr Cockburn said.

Good Greif 🙁

We were watching “The Project” last night.  Then on a story about the airline industry came this.  Haven’t laughed so much.

Warning – for over 18s only 😉

Would you believe that the original YouTube vision has been taken down.  Found this one though.  Think I will save it and put it on the site as a video

After playing 10 Pin Bowls on and off for 45years I bowled my best series on Tuesday a 540 series, was a very happy person maybe I may win the highest game with handicap of 277 for this season.

How good is that.

2/5/12  Just opened an account. Need to learn it.  Politicians usually get into trouble with this.

This is an interesting medium.  Don’t need to tell all and sundry what I am doing all the time, but feel the need to let thoes who are interested what my thoughts are.  Usually not much.

The family and friends spent the afternoon (29th April) at the Geelong Supercats basketball.  The game was against Mt. Gambier.  Pleased to announce that Geelong won.  Presented here are several happy snaps of the day.  BTW next to the court in a box does enhance the day.  Thanks Chris.

The photo of Nyah in her Geelong Supercats squad basketball top proudly displaying the name does make me proud.

Give it a go.
