Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day my wife and I went into town and went into a shop. We were only in there for about 5 minutes. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and said,...

I have both of the 4 ingredient cook books which I take with me on trips. They are great for travellers and cheaper than your average camping cook books. Having only 4 ingredients also makes for cheap meals.

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with that expensive double-pane energy efficient kind. Today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them.

We spent a lovely day today driving up around Mt Tambourine, Qld. The scenery and views were spectacular on the way up. First stop was The Tom Thumm Gallery and winery.
