    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    I cannot right now post a photo - tech issues. but trust me, it is 100% mouvedre/mataro/monastrell. I was in at work (Dans) today, not because I was working, but was in the area and killing time, so I ventured in. This product leapt out at me because it is brand new. It is not shiraz, it is...

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    Tonight I sampled a brand new Dans import - a "cheapie" - a 100% Mourvedre varietal from Spain. (aka Mataro or Monastrell) This is the La Purisima "Consentido'. 2017. Imported via Pinnacle drinks - thus not a fine wine. Due to visitors have not the time for a lengthy discourse, but it is a...

    Discussion on Cats, Moggies and Felines in general [with Pictures]

    Our cat Louis just keeps growing. Not just in size, but in reign. Having only daughters (I do not mean that in any negative - just highlighting how I am outnumbered), this new Lord is truly commandeering everything. From Love to food. I expect that is just what cats do. He has pushed himself...

    A circuit around the WA mid-west

    Hoping JohnM is having a ball. Can't wait to hear his stories from this trip. But I do hope he refrains from his usual expressed disdain at places that fail to meet his snobbish high expectations. I can imagine, already, that he veers just slightly off-path, due to his fancy tech guidance not...

    Very nice! i love that Tassie is still trapped in the 1800's, in everything from buildings, to transportation, to tech.

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    If you are going to quote "this thread" ideas, it is actually about "lolly jar' predictions. It was conceived with no thought of concepts such as processing of returning aussies...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    It is distasteful, but real and understandable, all the politics and sides in this debate. I am a resident in Queensland at the moment. We love the border closure. Because we are living in a state that is almost normal. Schools are open, holiday maker's frequent our holiday areas, etc. We can...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    Mel, think about it. Your desire for travel is a personal thing, that engulfs the rest of the population with added health risks. Why should everyone else "pay" for your whims?

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    No. No. No. I used to be such optimist, until I learnt a tad more. International travel is stuffed until quarantine issues are no longer an issue. We will never accept international arrivals until the world has solid vaccines. We will never accept Aussies returning until they are proven safely...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    Quite simply, not going to happen. Sorry. :( There is a slim, a tiny chance, that some sort of vaccine is available in the new year. But that is best case scenario. I suggest that to inform oneself of this, you should source medicos, not governments. Even in the best case scenario that is...

    I completely agree, as long as we are talking about 2022?

    Wasn't me. After the Clarendon went "unavailable' I am pondering my order - but haven't had the chance. I usually make a bulk order to minimize delivery fees. Was going to wait until tomorrow to see if I could marry the Thompson estate to something else.....

    Drron takes on the DPRT aka he's off to Tassie again.

    I believe that there are certain AFF members in Buderim that would gladly host you to a brunch. Despite DrRons crazy ideas. Just a "suggestion" for next time :)
