DUST STORMS - THEY ARE NEVER ENDING!

The dust storm hits town -the skyline at 5.00pm

The dust storm passing

Just made it home yesterday from work before the dust storm had arrived - phew! So sick of cleaning up after them! Probably had about 3 dust storms like this in the past month.

SNAKES ALIVE!

Sunday night at about 9.15pm I had hung out the washing & walking back to the door I saw my cat Miss Tubby acting unusual - then spotted the snake against the wall. I went into panic mode, throwing what ever I could at Miss Tubby to scare her away from the snake, thinking that the snake will bite her. I scream out to the neighbour to call the Ranger & he arrived 5 minutes later (1/2 tanked mind you) walks out to the back patio where the snake is (mumbling it is harmless) then goes back to his car and brings out his rifle....WFT! If he shoots the snake he is gunna wake up the whole street. I stay indoors & keep out of his way then next I hear him driving off in his car. Thank god he did not shoot the snake but I have no idea whether he caught it? A strange man he is!

I was told it was only a harmless python, I don't care if it is harmless or not as far as I am concerned a snake is a snake & they scare the hell out of me.

LITTLE COCONUT

AC's new little bundle of trouble - Coconut. Butter wouldn't melt in her mouth!! Too cute, her real name is Chloe, but I say that is too much of a human girl's name, I like Coconut, so to me she is Coconut.

The Milan Moped

The Monaco Moped

Thinking on buying a new moped for myself but there is so many to choose from, here are a couple that I have my eye on. Wish I could make a snap decision but no. Gee I have not even looked at the prices on these BUT when my mind is made up and I want something I normally get it even if it does take me months to decide!

REMEMBRANCE DAY

Respect to all the brave that have lost their lives for our country, and to those still serving.

They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning - We will remember them.......on 11/11, at 11am silence.

DO I OR DO I NOT?

I was driving to work last night as I was 1/2 way there, could not remember if I turned my hair straightener off at home. Arrived at work & told the staff I am not sure whether I turned it off, I did not want to worry all night so I went back home to check & of course it was bloody off. If I had not gone home to check I bet it would of been a different story! With me it is either the hair straightener or iron. I just hate that feeling when you leave the house wondering did you or did you not turn what ever off - I suppose it is best to be safe than sorry.

It is 1.00am & all is quite here at the hospital. I went to Kal yesterday so struggling to keep the eyes open. Oh the Christmas stuff is all out in the shops too, come to think of it Christmas is not too far away.

SWEEPS, EATS & DRINKS

Had the office open until lunch time today - had our own Melbourne Cup luncheon in the office. Was in many sweeps that they had going around town & I had at least 10 different horses & not one of the silly buggers came in 1st, 2nd or 3rd - see me never lucky! Eating a big lunch & drinking alcohol (2 glasses of champagne I had) is not normal for me. After lunch I was that bloated & tired, luckily we have a ottoman/lounge in one of the offices, I was able to have a hour siesta & woke up with only 1/2 hour until knock off time, yeah I like days like these!
