Me: So what are you going to arrange my 50th birthday?

Him: I'll get you a chocolate cake from Woolies

LOL. Isn't he taking you to see a few silos in Victoria?

Marked that book as one to read - thanks

Love Michael Portillo programs

Watched the Georgia/Azabijan episode recently and the boss said "I want to go there!" Maybe next year in June, we will see.

Oh yes. Woolies cake and outback painted silos. See, if I married George Clooney, I would be missing out.

I'm sure I've been there but can't remember.

There is also Udder Delights - Handmade Cheese from the Adelaide Hills. and Hahndorf is a nice place to visit - if you want more info let me know

You can do both - they're not that far apart

We passed by that today after an early Mother’s Day lunch at The Lane Winery.

Woodside is a few minutes down the lane from Hahndorf. Great winery there too - Bird in Hand. Lovely lunches and picnics available.

About wearing pyjamas on a plane?

Nah. About telling people how to travel in premium cabins. Can of worms.

There are times when I regret finding this forum but now is not one of them. I'm about to put myself a Four Pillars Shiraz Gin and watch this episode - thanks

On the contrary. The first nine tells me I have the ability. The second nine was some bad luck and pressure.

Same course a few years earlier and I was 6 over after 5 holes, soaked after 45 minutes torrential rain and ready to give up and shot 1 under for the last 13 holes because I was relaxed and swinging easy.

Golf is very simple and more importantly if I'm playing golf golf I'm not working.

That’s the problem. Difficult to analyse why sometimes 10 over and sometimes 10 under.

Did you manage to get a doctors certificate for insurance?

I did ......so holding onto that tight. Antibiotics and ventolin and getting better slowly still

Go there! Qatar Airlines via DOH. Ahem .. my TR on those countries: Uncorking the Caucasus. EY F Apartment to Georgia (birthplace of wine) & Azerbaijan

I have the name of a driver in Azerbaijan if you need one (might be a bit out of date though).

Is an ambulance required?

That's half the fun. Lovely day at Dunheved this morning.

Jennifer Saunder seems permanently drunk and giggly, but it was quite a sweet show.

 

[RooFlyer]

if you get a hole-in-one in golf, is it skill, or luck?

Yes. Our planned trip to Reims is likely canned due to planned rail strike on the day.

Since that's what every golfer should be trying to do, then skill.

Some are more skillful than others.

 

[RooFlyer]

Yes, but if a mug like me belts off the tee of a par 3 enough times, with no training or coaching at all, and jags a h-i-o ( add I did, once), does that mean I'm skillful?

 

[RooFlyer]

Mind you, I was pretty well liquored up at the time, so maybe it shouldn't have counted .

Mate and I enjoyed a basket press Shiraz during a round ( and a few beers before) even way back then.

 

[Flashback]

You’ve been busy here!

Alerts keep not coming through via e-mail, so when I do remember to check lots to catch up on!

 

[serfty]

Yes, but if a mug like me belts off the tee of a par 3 enough times, with no training or coaching at all, and jags a h-i-o ( add I did, once), does that mean I'm skillful?

Seriously?

Think about what you were trying to do.

Hit the indescribable in an unspeakable manner to produce a fantastic result.

To enact that requires skill.
