Travel insurance or airline? That is very quick. Well done.

British Airways direct

What a wonderful airline where you can get cash back until those EU rules cease to apply (if ever).

You know youre getting old when putting your hair up, something twinges and now youre waiting for your chiro appointment because you cant turn your head and your left scapula area is a hot mess.

But I dont think I would allow him to purchase anything Kirk Pengilly professed to have played.

At least the rain has cooled cooled everything down.

Finally... only VA but Im really looking forward to triggering the Hilton Diamond benefit in Jan next year.

British Airways direct

Great result.

Bangkok airways in Chiang Mai paid for broken golf driver on the day. Dealing with insurance companies can be a pain.

Thanks for the heads up on Kirk Pengilly's guitar sales @RooFlyer - my brother and another guitar playing friend (the one that had 2 recently damaged by an airline) will have more than passing interest in them.

Is buying guitars like the male version of menopause or something? Did I just say that out loud?

I think hubbys menopause purchase was a scuba rebreather.

Hubby stores his on wall racks, he usually favours one for a few weeks and then changes to a different one.

Similar to this, this is him at the Fender factory in Corona, Cali.

So how many guitars does he actually own? All electric or does he go in for acoustic as well?

17 at today's count but a couple could be in their cases. Both acoustic and electric. Some 60s, some 70s, some more recent.

I've already been told that I can't buy anymore cars until something else goes! Maybe I should start collecting motorbikes, they are much smaller.

 

[Denali]

Thank God not cars!

My sister in laws dad was into cars and they finally selling as he died a couple of years ago.

Old Holden doors went to a buyer in qld, sold in less than an hour. His car junk is a nice nest egg for his wife.

Ed Sheeran. Never heard of him. Busy around my streets last night and looks to be the same tonight.

Today a good friend lost their battle with a rare complication of AOSD.

One of the most selfless humans I've ever met; who's family has shown mine so much love, generosity and support. I'm devastated for her family, and saddened that I'll never see her again and that my kids will never know her.
