It's just after 8 AM Sunday. Cold, wet, windy and miserable. The weather isn't very nice either. :o :) Just enjoying a coffee, it's not our usual beans. We normally import beans from Vanuatu but with the imminent move and international freight being so disrupted because of the plague then we have de...

Hi there! I was going to send for a passport renewal today. Anne gave me a haircut for the photo, but as she finished, a contractor I know showed up to finish a job with his excavator. I'm beat after playing in the dirt. The passport can wait. No. No. No. My passport is, and will be again, a symbol...

Evening All.

Tipping down with rain and cold here.

Had gumbo for dinner and the wood fire is cranking.

Peaches, eh?

Here's a peach themed earworm then...



Ha!

This time last week we were on the road (again) between Nyngan and Cobar on our way to Broken hill where we stopped for the night. It seems like a month ago.

It's quite literally the middle of nowhere!

Well ya had to give time for the 'mice' speed bumps [smilie=beadygrinner.gif] We were 'lucky' in that it was very cold in the outback areas, so the mice were holed up. An Antarctic cold front covered a lot of central and south east Australia. We didn't end up squishing very many at all, and more im...

When I plugged my GPS in after I checked out of the hotel, it gave me an ETA of 12:49pm. I pulled into the parking lot back home at 12:49pm. I'm shocked, it's almost never right. :o Good job! I always try to 'beat' my ETA. I usually do :o :oops: :lol: It was 223.5 miles, about 135-140 on I-20 and a...

More smelly than tough...

We've just got back from interstate where we picked up the keys to our new house. Had a great time and met some of our new 'locals'. Got home to no water. I need a shower. Apparently a water main across the street has burst and they are "working on it". By working on it I mean they are sit...

Only warm and squishy. It's like driving over a moving carpet.

Yuppers! Get to see the new house too!

Safe travels.

I have a 3 day drive ahead of me starting today. Should only be two days but the covid restrictions and weather have forced some detours. Plus we will be heading through an actual mouse plague.

I suppose it is... I mean it's after 5 o'clock here (only it's the AM kind)

Sitting in the Sky Club in Terminal A in Atlanta. The bartender is a nice hispanic girl named Margarita. I asked if her is her middle name was "Ville", and she responded by saying no, but it is "Salt". Should me her license. Margarita Salte (with an "E")...... Now that...

We collect the keys to the new house on Friday.

Congratulations

Thank you

And that is the issue. FOMO is driving people to make stupid offers, then the banks pull them up. At which point they lose part of their deposit.

Madness.

SSDD Here. (Same Stuff, Different Day). We collect the keys to the new house on Friday. Will you move even if your house doesn't sell right away? That is a good question, that currently doesn't have a definite answer. We will wait a couple of weeks yet to decide. I feel like it shouldn't take much ...

Well another open house, another bunch of tyre kickers. All excited, many wanting contracts (you need one before you can register an offer). I guess we'll see in the next few days how many are serious. As with other places, the market is crazy right now. Yet people are coming to open houses, that cl...

Has it really been seven years? Wow. A local radio station is playing The Angels album "Face to Face", every track, from vinyl, as a tribute to Doc. It reminded me of the very first time I heard this band called "The Angels". It would have been 1978 or 1979. A dance in a dingy sc...
