We're back home in Victoria, earlier than planned. My husband was bitten by a spider and spent time in Mackay hospital. He's had several courses of anti-biotics since then and he's still feeling unwell. Nasty little things, these spiders! Thanks to all who wrote to us during our short time away. Our c...

Four old retired guys are walking down a street in Cooktown.They turned a corner and see a sign that says, Old Timer's Bar - all drinks 10 cents! They look at each other, and then go in, thinking this is too good to be true. The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room, 'Come on in and let me p...

Hello everyone!! We are very new to the idea of asking for help but we have been hard at it for the past 2 years and we have run out of steam. Is there anyone out there who would be interested in helping us out with some yard work for 1-2 weeks. We have a few big jobs to complete but the first priority is to clean u...
