A lot different to old the days of Peaches & Cream on the bank of the Murray in Cobram.

Back in the days when you could bring your own drinks.
Still remember a group of blokes who used an old fridge as their esky full of beer. Was so heavy took 6 of them to carry it and they had to stop everyone 100 meters or so for a drink break.
And those who didn't wan to pay and tried to swim across from the NSW side of the Murray.

Can't possibly imagine why. Rolling Eyes Laughing

When I hear about Strawberry Fields Festival, all I think about is this article a friend wrote (third subheading down). Probably the best explanation of why I don't do music festivals:

Toc is an anomaly in that most of the small country towns are dying, but Toc is going forward. Slowly. Lots of building going on, people who've been visiting there for years, retiring and moving up from Melbourne.

I moved to Melbourne in 1985 and the population was 1100. Now it's 2100.


There was an item on ? yesterdays ABC news (local) TV about Toke and how its changed.

must be something in the water! id never heard of it before you mentioned it, now a friend has bought some land there, and another is playing golf there this weekend!

I'm officially a chemistry experiment.

Saw the doc on Friday, she took me off the new BP pills I'd been taking for 2 months and gave me something else. She said she'd been going through options, looking at what they do and side effects, but it's a lottery. I get that.

But day 1 on the new tabs, I'm a happy unit.

It will take close to a month before I get all the other stuff out of my system fully, but already positive signs are I'm more alert and the swelling in my foot is going down.

Positive signs, now just hope it actually does something to the BP
