We also have a proper backyard for the first time in over three years. Smile


what was wrong with the inner city left?


I decided I preferred ladies' luncheons and golf to bicycles and warehouse parties. Mr. Green

David will be able to send young Ingmar to Brighton Grammar in a few years, just down the road. Either that or the school bus to Mount Scopus or Bialik College. Wink

They say Scopus is for the millionaires & Bialek is for the Billionaires & the Russians get the discounted welfare rates for Scopus Wink (distinction is not made for the Ukraine)

Picked up a brand spanking new in packet $300 full ONeil wetsuit on eBay for $99, hopefully it fits, or I'll resell it for $150!

If you follow economics, you will enjoy possibly the greatest sequence of animated GIFs of all time:

Back in Rwanda after a 4 hour road ( road may be stretching it - goat track is probably more accurate!) trip and COLD BEER Cool

The Ugandans turn the fridges off to save electricity so the beer is well...... only just drinkable!

It was brilliant Jo! We did 2 treks one was 5 hours and one 7 1/2 in thick steep jungle - thought I would have to stay there on the last one I was bloody knackered!!!

Worth it but we were 3 metres from the 200 odd kg silverback and a couple of babies and their mums - then the big fella without warning took off up the slope and frightened the bejesus out of us!

Morrigu, that is phenomenal. Absolutely sensational. How much longer will you be there, and how long in total is your trip?
