Strong winds, areas of raised dust and late thunderstorms for the Barossa Valley.

Oh goody. It's gonna rain mud this afternoon.

Unseasonably warm yesterday and today - the average temp here at this time of year is around 15°C. Yesterday and today 30°C. Tomorrow? 13°C.

you have to take in the terrain...we are flat an the ocean floor comes up softly. We can see the "crashing waves" as compared to in California against the rocky and mountain type coast.....here, it just builds up and then comes inland for miles.....not bad today however. Have you ever exp...

I went to our beach bar for a few beers to watch the waves crash, and I began singing in my head, "I fell like going surfing in a hurricane".....yet I don't surf.... Screenshot 2021-08-30 155331.gif OK I'll ask. Where is the crashing surf? :) Here's a big day in my old stomping ground: ht...

Ha! The actor Ed Asner said that to Mary Tyler Moore in her series opener. It would get a guffaw in Oz.

Laugh?

There wasn't a dry seat in the house...

Good morning BN. NOLA takes on another storm today. With all the weather issues out there, we are happy tolive in a boring climate. But we continue blindly burn fossil fuels and continue to defile our oceans and earth because, well, because money talks and all politicians are bought, paid for and o...

In an attempt to cheer everyone who needs it, I present:

Hmmmm.

Mine do that.

I thought it was a good thing.

We have spent the last couple of days opening boxes and trying to work out what is in them and if we need the contents in our temporary digs. Then resealing the boxes and ether moving them to or from storage. Opened one box today that had my turntable in it. They had put it in the box on its side - ...

Yummo

You can always get some instant coffee. :lol: My BIL moved from Germany to Fort Knox. He and his wife took a break from unpacking and went to a big flea market where he saw antique metal toys on display. He realized they were his! The mover saw the box marked metal toys, hid it and marked it as del...

What a shemozzle! We got *most* of our furniture yesterday. I cannot believe the bunfight. Stuff meant for storage came to the house where we simply do not have the room, I think stuff has gone to storage that should be at the house, including the coffee machine. Mislabelled or unlabelled boxes ever...

WOW! What a time you are having. The house you are in now won't need much de-cluttering to show, since there is nothing in it. Good luck, Rabz. Once we get to the point where we are going to rent this place out decluttering isn't even a thing. There are so few available rental properties in this ar...

So, where to start? I bit has happened since I last checked in. On Wednesday last we finally got out of quarantine. It's hard to tell as we still had to stay home to work but we can go out when we need to! The plan along has been to sell up in Sydney (tick) move to South Australia (tick) buy an inve...

8 hours and 7 minutes quarantine to go. Unfortunately, it is closer to 23 hours until I can actually go somewhere. Quarantine expires at midnight and I need to work until about 3pm. Then, finally I can do something. Wait! I have no idea what to do... Maybe I'll stay home and watch some telly. :o

Oh my word!!!! This sounds like a horror story waiting to be published. After reading this I realize how selfish it sounds when I complain about not wanting to go back to wearing a mask when going food shopping. This has given me an idea. I have rejigged this post and added a little 'local interest...

Well Sunday has dawned. It's chilly but for the first time since we arrived there is not a cloud in the sky! I can't believe Mrs Rabz has decided to sleep in! There are a few ripples of excitement in our shack this morning. We are due to get our third mandatory COVID-19 tests today. While not someth...

Based upon your complete story in order to help me keep my sanity during these circumstances & chaotic travels would be a non stop Buffett soundtrack for sure!! Hopeful the worst is over for you & the Mrs. Rabz.... Mr Buffett featured heavily, especially during the outback parts of the driv...

I guess we timed it badly but we are getting ever so close now....

Well, it's taken some 18 months or more, with much stress, angst and more than a few tears but Mrs Rabz and I are finally residing in our house in the Barossa Valley. Look out SA (South Australia)! We are in the middle of our enforced quarantine but it is a small inconvenience when compared to the b...
