On our recent trip away, we found out fairly quickly that overseas visitors hiring campervans are also being issued with a Camps 6 book. It has been fascinating to meet so many of them in the free/budget camps. Our last visit to Richmond saw washing strung out between the rails of some steps! Ingenious...

Everyone knows that Easter Monday falls on a different date each year but who actually knows how the date is determined? There is a very complex method to work it out but there is a simple way. As with most things in our Wonderful World it is decided by consulting the Sun & the Moon. Easter Monday is th...

The 1st Affair A married man was having an affair with his secretary. One day they went to her place and made love all afternoon. Exhausted, they fell asleep and woke up at 8 PM. The man hurriedly dressed and told his lover to take his shoes outside and rub them in the grass and dirt. He put on his shoes and dr...

Do you agree with the handout to Holden? Why doesn't any small business get a handout? Should for instance, the caravan manufacturing industry in Australia get a big handout, so they can afford to do more research into design and modernise. How much is keeping people employed in inefficient indust...

Will anyone be in Berri or nearby for the weekend? I'll be there for a Sing Australia gathering, but I'd love to catch up with anyone who may be there. I'll be in the van park overnight after an afternoon of singing.

Have to take my darling girl to see the cardiologist today; she has to have an echo ultrasound. She not only has a heart murmur but also an abnormal irregularity in her heart beat. Keeping our fingers and paws crossed for a positive outcome.

As advertised tonight at the end of the Today/Tonight programme there will be a segment on faulty caravans and how dangerous and potentially a fire hazard. Might be worth watching.

I didn't put this in "What's Cooking" as It is not a recipe as such. I saw on a cooking show recently that if you crack an egg on a flat surface you don't get egg shell in your food. Just tried it and guess what? IT WORKS. 6 eggs and not one bit of shell. That's my lesson for the day. Have you had a lesso...

They would squeeze in through a very small gap. He would take them down the back & release them. Each day they were back. ...
