The totally off-topic thread

So it has been raining heavily here on the Sunshine Coast - cats and dogs type rain - over the past 10 days - so this morning I bought a rain gauge at Bunnings. Now watch it turn to sunny dry weather

Likewise in the northern suburbs of BNE. What is the blue stuff in the sky and the round flaming ball of gas???

Dum, de-dum, de-dum ...





That's just now; on this weekend, there's the Taste of the Huon. I've been dieting for 3 months, just to get ready .

So Welcome to Chaos around Australia. No one in the family travelling today. Miracle.

Oh dear. So I can expect delays from OOL this evening.

 

[QF WP]

JohnK, doesn't look like it has created a problem so far, according to the arrivals and departure boards of OOL https://goldcoastairport.com.au/

But @QF WP I'm not there yet.

I know you're still at work - but if the SYD IT issue had caused a flow on effect to schedules, it would have started earlier today and would be ongoing throughout the day and into tonight. Looks like mostly JQ and TT flights have any significant delay.

Therefore looks like the respective carriers IOC's (QF and VA) have sorted out flight relatively well.

If you were in a corner block and were building a brick/cement fence with pillars would you build the pillars for both road frontages or just the main road frontage? We're putting bars in between the pillars so 2 frontages adds to cost.

The 2 other sides are just going to be brick/cement.

Do you access the property via the side/theres a rear driveway or its just one fence going all the way down?

We're fencing the property right now. I don't think I'll make side access. We'll access through the gate at the front.

I had an ice-cream just now, so I have to pay with more exercise. Of course, there are compensations:



Might be a swim required:



Definitely a possiblity. No one's looking....

Skinny dipping Rooflyer !! It is not that hot in Tassie !

We’ve been having a mini heat wave in SA. 3 months without rain and several days in a row of 35. Def skinny dipping weather here.

Well yes, it was a bit brisk. The apres ski a lot more appealing, at 36 deg.

My cousins husband was killed changing a tyre on a street in Sydney many years ago.

My cousin died at 17. He was killed crossing the road after they had stopped to assist someone who had broken down on other side of the road.

Such a waste. Terrible.

Brisvegas is much more comfortable atm (22.5) , swmbo is greatly amused to see me in a track suit instead of gym shorts and tank top in the evenings.
Once it drops below 20 however , it is winter and serious insulation needs to be considered….
