Just for fun thought I would ask this question. Hubby and I are still working at this stage so go on holidays throughout the year, however our holidays are getting longer and when retirement hits who knows how long they will be. -- Edited by Pam on Monday 18th of January 2010 12:24:36 PM -- Edited by Pam...

Anyone can be a victim of the thoughtlessness and/or sleepiness that can lead to Camera Loss. How can I prevent Camera Loss? I hear you ask, wishing Id get to the point. Well, you c...

Well, just had the bubble burst. Thought we might take a few weeks in Tassie in February 2010. Did the usual web searches and found that to take the tug and tow on the boat from Melbourne would cost 6 times the cost of a single car yet it would only occupy the space of two and half standard cars. No wonder Tas...

We're about to head back East across the Nullarbor and we have heard that SA takes fresh fruit and veg off you at Ceduna (which is pretty bizarre, as WA takes them off you when you head west, what, do the two states get worried about sharing germs??).

BRUISER © His battle-scarred body lay in the shade on the cool verandah. A raised eye brow and one partially opened eye discreetly followed the movement of a passer-by. He was loyal and faithful, but could be spiteful if left home alone. Bruiser would bite his owner. Not enough to do any damage...
