Stupid question. Kangaroo Island forecast shows night at 15c, do we need jumpers?
Hubby will be wandering around the cabin, taking night photos.

We did - as well as being 15C theres the wind chill factor - and it was bloody windy let me tell you !!!

Thanks. Polartec jumper going in!

Finished packing, with all of the Hubbys "stuff" that he has to have, 22kgs.

Only once have I managed to leave the country with no check in luggage and that lasted all of 4 days before buying a bag.

Totally. I’m wearing a jumper, trackies and Sox right now and that’s just Adelaide. You are on the Southern Ocean Coast remember.

Hopefully clear skies for you and gorgeous days. And windy in some places. Beautiful blue ocean. Vivonne Bay a magical blue.

The meaning I think is that if the technology wasn’t there you wouldn’t have a job anymore. Not current status.

No. I was working in IT before PCs were that popular and well before mobile phones.

Life was much simpler.

Beautiful Island enjoy , agree with mrs.dr.ron, the southerly's can be very chilly even in the summer so Polartec is wise..

I need someone to pack for me.

Happy to assist! But you may not like what I limit you to ...

Im not the problem, I did 4 weeks in Alaska with just carry on and a sleeping bag. He's the problem!

Still don't know why he thinks he needs two power boards!

 

[Denali]

And a tennis ball!

And a tennis ball!

Really? That’s first on our list. For flights and bus travel. Acts like a pressure acupuncture point when it’s put against your lower back against the seat. Relieves a lot of back pain. MrP did his back in in Santorini - rotten beds. I hunted high and low over Santorini for a tennis ball as he’d forgotten to pack it. After a couple of hours I found a beach ball kit with bats and the prized tennis ball. Saved all of our sanity.

I thought Adelaide fixed their power problem? Good luck with the fridge food!

Even if they have, VIC is very close to being in big trouble. Industries are already being asked/told to start running on generators as there isn't enough power in the grid.

I always pack my spikey ball from the Physio! Saves my hip flexor!

But you would be unemployed. No?

Oh, there were computers, just not the small personal ones.

I had employment in the IT industry before the IBM PC was released.

That was the beginning though.
And they were so expensive in the ‘old days’ when general use PC’s were released. All desktops obviously. IBM ridiculously so. That’s one item that wasn’t compared with the tuck shop list posted earlier.

But im in Adelaide with the door open and no Sox and short sleeves.

@Pushka your avatar has changed but I’m on my iPad.

I remember the George 2-4 OSs very well. Still have some of my first punch cards.

Data General Nova and PDP11s were revelations! (And could play star trek games.)

 

[Denali]

There is a person eating a peanut butter and cheese on toast in the lounge!

 

[Denali]

This is Carol, Carol is upset with Rhonda, for stealing all of her ideas and never giving her credit.

Apparently, Rhonda swans around taking credit for everyone else's work.

Something in law and various govt/department.

John steals her ideas as well and she's complained to Damien. Carol says it's between kissing cough or sleeping with someone to get recognition.

Carol is depressed and fears a vexatious complaint.

 

[Denali]

Lots of names including surnames and departments said, I reckon she could be identified by what I'm hearing

Apparently Prosecutor Ian (not real name) is doing a terrible job.

Now know her real name and employer, damn she needs to be careful. They are now talking about actual cases, clients and evidence and officers names.

 

[Denali]

Carol says the only thing that will make Carol feel validated and vindicated is money "after all of this".

Nows she's naming Chiefs and judges names.

Maybe her co workers dislike her because of her personality.

 

[Denali]

Carol now talking about how she cut off her mum and siblings due to toxic behaviours but she expects a share of the estate when she dies.

Yep, just a horrible person.
