I enjoy doing jigsaws. I don’t always take photos of the finished ones, but I enjoy them. It gets me away from tv, electronics and social media. I have developed a table - using word - that has a list of my puzzles, assigned a number, that I can add to in order of brand, series etc, so that I...

I don't know how many people are aware of Cold Chisel , but I grew up listening to them, and Jimmy Barnes is an Icon here in Australia. I follow him on Facebook, one of the few people I do actually follow because I admire him and his accomplishments. He has been posting about being in hospital...

We have a food one, why not a drinks one? :) I am drinking a refreshing ‘punch’ 100ml Stones Ginger Wine, 200ml Pineapple Juice 700ml sparkling Mineral water. later today I will change the ratio to be: 50ml Ginger Wine, 150ml pineapple juice 250ml brut bubbles top up with sparkling...

I know I live with, and love, a tech person, but we are debating options and want your opinions and advice. Bilby will add clarification as he knows more about what I am after on the technical side. Being a teacher, YouTube is an awesome resource for videos for learning, especially the...

Not sure if this is the right section or not, but I couldn’t find a thread for just. A true shots without animals etc. so here goes. This was our sky at 3:15ish am. It was remarkable in that the edge of the cloud was so distinct, made so by the full moon illuminating from behind. The sky was...

So we had a reading meeting today and apparently there is a new edict coming from above with regards to reading. Apparently, we are not allowed to let students simply read for pleasure anymore. Any, and all reading that students do must have some sort of educational purpose. For example, if...

Bilby and I are all checked in at the airport and are firmly ensconced in the SilverKris Business class lounge enjoying a beverage or three and some delectable nibbles! Bilby is enjoying one of his favourite bought beers, and I am enjoying a lovely glass of bubbles! As Bilby just stated...

This thread is for sharing recipes for the food we cook. Spectacular failures, so others can learn, are also welcome. I will start. Tonight’s dinner is a goulash to be served with rice. In a large, heavy based pot add: 1 chorizo sausage (136g) 1 ham steak (100g) 1 onion (100g) 2 hot dog...

Okay! I have decided to create a new religion. We will now start worshipping BACON! Over the next few days I will develop the symbol somehow, but what I envisage is a pigs head, with a halo of pork crackling, and underneath it will be a wreath of crisp streaky bacon! I know my brother, and...

Yes, we are nuts! We could travel to the UK in summer and enjoy sunshine and (reasonably) warm weather. But no! I am insane (apparently) because I want to see snow! So we are off the UK in December/January. So far our plans are to spend most of it in London, with an overnight trip to...

I have seen quite a few mother-in-law issues if late. I am particularly lucky in that my MIL likes me! However, I thought it might be fun to hear your MIL stories, good or bad. I didn’t know where else to put this, so put it here. I will start. My MIL called me her DIL when I had only...

So much doom and gloom out there. Let’s see some lighthearted news articles. Such as: a few thirsty cattle! This is in the Town I lived in for 16 years, and quite believe it.

I got this email today and it rang true. If it's been discussed before, please delete, or go for it. But I am curious as to what you think.

From discussions with Bilby, I gather this has been discussed ad nauseum before, however, I am curious about how you access health care. Here in Australia, you can generally visit your General Practitioner (GP) for a nil out-of-pocket expense. The doctor will 'bulk-bill' Medicare - a.k.a the...

Okay, I will admit it, I got done in on one of those 'you liked my status so now you gotta post...' things. I normally apologise to the poster and not do it, but for some things I will, such as Autism Awareness, Women's Cancer etc. Unfortunately, the choices I was given were lousy. I mean...

This came across my path today and it got me to thinking that we may be going overboard with defining what a 'terrorist' is. Ned Kelly, an Australian Outlaw, was just that, an outlaw! Was he a terrorist? In school, as part of English, we discuss whether or not Ned Kelly was a hero or villain...

This picture came up on my Facebook news feed and it got me thinking so I shared it. What do you think? Would society be different? One friend pondered on how things would be if we showed good things instead of endless doom and gloom. Would life be different?

This popped up on my Facebook feed from a friend and thought it would make for a lighthearted discussion: It got us to chatting about which animals would be able to do all of this. I suggested Tigers, and the rebuttal was that where tigers are they don't have the postal service or WIFI to be...

Hi all, Bilby and I are currently trying to compile two lists of music. One for the ceremony and one for the reception. Times are approximate For the ceremony we need: 1/2 hour pre-ceremony calming, easy listening music. 1 entry song for when I walk in 2-3 songs for while we sign our lives...

We were watching a tv show this evening and there was a woman who was trying to convince her lover to carry on an affair and that it was okay to keep going despite her being married, as she is in an open relationship. It lead to a bit of a discussion between us a couple of points. 1. What...
