I have just spent the last 1 hour and 20 minutes watching the ABC. Happy now.

Watched the last 2 episodes from Season 7 this afternoon, so we were back up to speed ready for tonight.

Utopia? Hysterical.

Gallipoli? Such brave souls.

A bit of tough Googling seems to show that it vends hi-viz vests.

My depot has machines like this which dispenses super vests, other PPE & consumables. Even though I'm am employee in the depot, I can't use these machines because I'm train crew & not a cleaner or a tradie.

We have them on some sites for gloves, glasses and other PPE. Usually need a SAP card to access it, never seen one that takes cash.

I couldn't be bothered. I just go to the stores and book out what I need.

Would this be of interest to you JessicaTam?

30th Wedding Anniversary today.
Where has the time gone?

Beautiful pearl & YG pendant from hubby, daughter shouted us lunch at Muse Restaurant

Muse Restaurant Reviews, Pokolbin, Australia - TripAdvisor

Daughter wrote on our card - "Thankyou for allowing me to be one of the few in my circle of friends that gets to have just one family home, and for making my relationship standards frustratingly high - if I can't have what you two have, I don't want anything."

I really don't know how to take that message...

Congratulations on making the 30 year milestone Bindibuys.

 

[Pushka]

Ah. Who. I pass on Who. Never got into it.

I'm with you. We've hit the 35th mark and I worry that we have made our marriage look too perfect (eg don't argue in front of the kids yada yada) and it's all or nothing. So far it's been nothing.

Go Wallabies!

Where do you want them to go?

No one would ever accuse us of not arguing in front of the children, or hiding of the inevitable differences between a couple that have to be accommodated for the relationship to last. The girls make some snide remarks about us being "different", but I don't think they have gone into relationships without knowing that they are damn hard work at times.

But this time next week is 41 years married, and last week was 46 years since we started going out. And for all the differences over the years, we enjoy all the time we can spend together, especially travelling the world now that we have the capacity, enhanced of course with the knowledge from other AFFers. Before joining this site we had never travelled in J, and since joining we have only once not travelled in J. Now there is something that enhances a relationship.

Sydney busses have something in common with their Brisbane counterparts, I suspect you can find both their timetables in the fiction section at the library. Maybe I am just having one of those days, my QF8 experience this morning:

Checkin : My 43a morphed into 46c grrr
No priority tags
No express pass

FLounge
Coffee - We have a barista in the other lounge if you feel like a walk
Champagne - 1/3rd glass left in bottle from night before, left bottle on counter, studiously ignored for over an hour by staff.
Hot Food - Boiled eggs arrived 40 minutes after opening, no egg holders and overcooked to rubber.

Flight was great and so was crew.
Baggage took close to an hour to arrive.

Cest la vie.

Happy 30th anniversary.

We're pups. Next month is our 20th (28th year as a couple - 26 of those living under the same roof) with our youngest still in primary school. The number of her friends that are from split families is quite shocking......these are young couples that are on their second or working towards the third marriage. It's so foreign to me that I just can't understand it! I feel sorry for the kids that have to manage complicated family structures.
