My man has been away for just 9 days and I thought I would surprise him by sanding some rusty area of a cupboard that I had promised but never done. Trouble is that I decided to tidy up what looks like his newest man cave. Will he be happy or annoyed? I wont have to wonder for long as he comes back tonight. There...

What else can one ask for, today we had the pleasure of a visit from Capricorn & Pisces while on their short visit to the mid north coast. Being such a nice day we had an outdoor lunch, followed by an afternoon of discussion around many subjects, as one would do being a GN. We await monday for another c...

I'm not sure about anyone else here, does anyone have an interested in visiting Ghost Towns, those from bygone years or that which have been de-gazetted and don't appear on current maps due to this.

After a recent discussion with a friend about reversing techniques, I thought I'd bring my nomad friends into it. One friend was taught (in NZ, if that makes any difference) to turn with your left arm over the seat and looking to the rear. Although she can also park with mirrors. Another friend is absol...

Have been told to use bicarbonate soda. Does anyone know how much & should the tsnks be full?

Dougwe · Dougwe

Here in Batemans Bay. I have full strength wireless broadband cover but there are so many people here it has slowed down heaps since yesterday. More than likely it will stay that way until Tuesday when most people have left the area. I will just have to keep calm I reckon.
