Got my car back.
 
Big tick to Sheen panel service. Did a great job on the car, even if it was a little longer than I hoped, gave me $150 off the excess, cleaned and detailed the car before I picked it up and had a little gift bag on the seat. Would highly recommend, even if the courtesy cars are tonka toys. (Clean, neat new tonka toys but still tonka toys)

I am still labouring under said man flu. At work, though, which I think is a colossal achievement given that I woke up clutching my head and moaning.

Certainly, in the fullness of time, when the moment is ripe & at the appropriate juncture that would have been courageous of you.

Do you own a brown cardigan? If not, you should buy one.

Speaking of the fullness of time...
I was have my morning latte this a.m I noticed in the local paper an article a field trip had been put on by the Words in Winter ppl.
I canceled my pie, gulped my coffee and raced off to Newstead and went on a 3 hour "Geological forage through the Mammalian hills from Newstead to Lawrence with renowned seismographer (?) Gary Gibson.
We were looking at the geological forces that produced the area I live in particularly with regards to volcanic activity.
He spoke of the correlation between earth-quake activity and vulcanism and the almost unique geo-morphology of Victoria and some very good books to find and read on the subject.
Apparently we are sitting only 10 k's above a magma resevoir that could provide almost limitless totally clean power to light-up the whole area indefinitely.
I learnt more in 3 hours than I had in a life-time and was even able to ask a pertinent question or 3.
I also learned that I know his brother quite well and his wife has promised to get in touch next time Gary gives a talk and he'd be very interested to see some razor shell fossils I'd found in the forest near here.
He said geologists use fossils to date certain areas and mine might be useful.
We were shown different types from shield, marr and some others I can't remember.
I bailed after the 4th of 5 stops (because I hadn't had breakfast) and it was getting on to late lunch.
I ate my late breaky and now my stomach is full and head so bursting with information I feel the need to lay down on the couch on the veranda and digest it all.
I maybe some time! |

Took hubby to see D.A.A.S today for his birthday!
Brilliant absolutely bloody brilliant 
Paul McDermott magical as always, Tim Ferguson in a wheel chair courtesy of MS but the wit remains and no Richard but Flacko was a fantastic replacement!
Haven't laughed or enjoyed anything as much for a very long time!
And we worked out the last time we went to see them was 25 odd years ago - fck where did that time go
