A large group has taken over our favourite small bar on Coral Princess. Around 10-12 people who spread out right across the bar. The men shout at each other from one end of their group to the other, and the women are constantly shrieking with laughter. I think we're going to have to find somewhere else for our pre and post dinner drinks. My ears hurt! Are there Bogans on Coral? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah I retired the first time from Dept of Defence, in my mid 30s, finished my studies, spent most of the next 25 years practicing from a wheelchair, retired a second time in my early 60s, if they ever fix these mini strokes I’ll be back in harness in a heart beat, I really miss it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even for people like me who didn't want to retire, it is amazing how quickly you wonder how you ever found time to work. I figure if you were a busy person when you worked, you remain a busy person retired. I miss Public Holidays! Congratulations on your retirement, Lynne.

Docker123 Posted November 1, 2022 #6293 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Congratulations Lynn. I retired at 62. A combination of a serious pain condition and a very generous early retirement scheme by the university. Pleased to be out of the system. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackduck59 Posted November 8, 2022 Author #6294 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Well we went from summer to winter in less than 2 weeks. We have had our first snow of the season. There is no accumulation around here but there is 10cm expected at higher elevations. I'm happy we got the winter tires installed on Saturday. We keep winter tires and wheels all mounted and ready to go. We leave the Venza parked if it snows and use the Subaru. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the snow, but it can be troublesome and messy unless you’re skiing. What’s the average length of winter for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melbourne went from winter to summer in a week - last Tuesday was a cold, wet, windy day with a top temperature of 13 degrees C and today it has been 27, sunny and now cloudy with thunderstorms in some parts of Greater Melbourne.

We don't get snow often and each time we do it doesn't stay on the ground long. There have been notable exceptions though. The "Blizzard of 96" was more than a meter of snow fell in a few days around Christmas. There was over 100 Million Dollars in Damage. That amount of snow is small change in much of Canada but here it was devastating. This feels early for snow but it doesn't feel like it will stick around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same story here, Leigh. After a cold, wet winter, celebrated our late Spring over lunch at my friend’s house in beautiful Batehaven by the sea today. Les is nearby, but couldn’t quite spot him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are having unusual weather for SEQld., with cold mornings, but normal beautiful warm sunny days. I just had to put a woollen singlet on at 6am in November!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
