I recently bought a smart tv. It's too smart for me as I haven't yet figured out how to work all the bells and whistles so it's free-to-air for the time being. Besides, I'm a tightwad and see the point in paying for the extra stuff.

Is that where the lava tubes are?

Aldi do, just like in UK.

That's crazy.😆

Back OnT. Received Aldi catalog email. They will be stocking a new line, Butter Chicken pies.

No early nights for me @ 70+. I only sleep six or seven hours. In bed by nine would have me waking at three in the morning. No thanks.

I've found the same on Singapore Airlines A380s. I always try to book these seats if possible. They also had handy storage bins on window seats and lots of leg room - which I need.

They've moved on - to the good ship Barilledover.

The media seem to have gone all quiet. A delayed case of "move along folks, nothing to see here"?

Get a wriggle-on those who are tadpoles.

Thanks for the report. Sounds like you had a great time. In a few weeks I'll be going to France (Bordeaux) via Barcelona. Any tips re COVID protocols?

After that I hope you didn't croak on your sandwich.

I hate them too. We had a choko vine on our back fence when I was a kid. The only thing I found good about them was I could get a bucket full and sell them door to door for threepence each to earn pocket money. This was in the days before kids got pocket money. Mum and dad would eat them - they were children of the depression. Mum, being a Sgt. cook in the WAAAFs could make excellent sauces but none of us kids (4) would touch them. Same with tripe.

Same as chokos?😆

"Brisbane are sending a pilot to the ship in the hope they can help get the ship to dock." The delay was the safety of the pilot boarding. There is no way a ship is let in without one. Today (9 News) have no idea.

Saw video on news this morning of the sloshing, it sure was, 5 - 6 metres into the air is my guess.

Which begs the question. Will positive cases be put off the ships well before they get here? If embarking from US mainland the bug should show up before Hawaii and other ports along the way.

Watching the news lately I see there are fires in all these places, including near Bordeaux. I was in Spain and Portugal 3 years ago when NSW was on fire. Irony?

Yep, CH9 did it again this morning. ABC "COVID on board" CH7 "COVID on board" CH9 "Riddled" with COVID.

Seems like the same mob that tried to invent a pen that works in space - when a pencil will do.🙄

It's a 21 day Deal of a Trip for Spain, Portugal and Morocco. Going 10 days early which we will spend in France with an Oz couple who own a house not far from Bordeaux.

I've had my Health Care card for about two years and yesterday it got me my first freebie. A box of RATs. Still haven't had a test but I expect they will come in handy as I'm off to France, Portugal, Spain & Morocco in four weeks.

Do you deliver?

Sorry Mr Bond. You'll just have to seiile for stirred.😉

Just now on 2SM, today's "shock jock" has gone hysterical on Coral. I would like to listen to responses to see if anyone from cruise industry will call to refute everything he has said (as it was almost all wrong) but I have to leave home now for an appointment with a TA.
