with more heavy rain expected could be another month before it subsides in places
only at certain times of year and not at present --been raining for a week or more , my son is stuck there in caravan --can't get home
My Cath is ok then ---but she does stay up later than me
VAT you must be in England here in AUS-we have the GST (goods and service tax) which is 10% on what you buy, the first political party that wants to increase that would be out of a job smart. Somedays it pays to stay in bed --i never get up till i've read the obits --just in case
Then there were the blackbirds that dropped dead from the sky reported as well --our starlings are a flock bird , was wondering if the blackbirds there are also, if so possibly they drank from stream where fish were
i will sit pat on a royal routine
Stinging nettles --i remember them well--walked through a patch when i was in short pants long ago --lesson learnt
just when ALL Americans finally got healthcare the other mob who didn't want it are going to toss it out WRONG WRONG WRONG We have had Medicare since the early 60s those who couldn't afford treatment now get it for free , listed pharmaceuticals are free also.

they do a body search at our prisons -so i'm told-- then our low security prisons do not have walls where they catch people throwing contraband over the wire fence into the gardens. The air con in the camper gave up the ghost on the last day we were out in December, had it looked at when we got home and it was the moulded 3 pin plug that had failed --cut the cord --new plug and voila its working --big sigh of relief. The 3 way fridge stopped working before we left had to replace it cost $1230, you wonder at times is it worth having a camper --cost last year fridge $1230---roof top $2200 (ins repair) new engine $7500, now i gotta live longer to get my monies worth
BLOODY LAPTOP --I let the moths out and bought one to use in our travels here i use xp that has windows 7 took me a day to figure the thing out --that scrolling thingy i hate so bought wireless mouse --at least it goes where i point it Cath wont have a bar of it --driving in heavy rain is what i hate
Made copy in our local paper today , guess it will be investigated just when they were made, reckon he might lose command of his ship--been around for awhile evidently ---why now reported ?
Catch a plane and head downunder ---but give Queensland a miss or bring your swimsuit and floties -- mid summer is now warming up but no heatwaves--YET
we had a good one over here plenty of cheer --the weather not hot --new year off with a bang ---cheers
i'm with Marta - don't know about the miniature cow patties at $30,0000 i would be frightened of leaks as well
