Dom Churchill 2,613 Posted May 31, 2016 IKNOWC but I honestly think I am having a melt down. Had an emotional day yesterday saying bye to some of my good friends. Spent the whole day today emptying out the shed, garage and one of the bedrooms. I have no idea where all this stuff came from :wub: managed to stub my toe on a suitcase, it has swollen to double the size and gone black so guessing thats broken :frown: Hub's like the big clutz that he is just stood on my foot with said broken toe, so after shouting at him I decided to sit on the floor refuse to move and just cry/laugh. He just brought me the Ipad and a glass of wine up and then slowly backed out of the room, I think he is sligtly scared :twitcy: Awwww big Mahoosive hugs for you @M1cha3la, making sure I'm well clear of the Purple Piggy. I hope you got that treated, although I'm not sure how they do treat, perhaps splint it?? I remember saying my farewells and it was easily the hardest thing I've ever done, but I kept trying to focus on the next, new and exciting chapter of my life, and yes it helped a bit. I'm sorry you shed some tears, but you'll be right.

dmjg 4,061 Posted May 31, 2016 First day of winter! It's currently 4C this morning in Devonport. Frosty morning. Supposed to reach 14C later. I had to scrape the cars yesterday morning. Mind you, the FIL carried over a few scrapers last trip, so i didnt freeze my knuckles using a credit card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindor 3,927 Posted June 1, 2016 WTF is it with the 'authorities'! There's a hunt on for the crocodile 'responsable' for killing a woman in Queensland and now they're looking for the shark 'responsable' for the attack on a surfer in WA yesterday! Leave them alone FFS! They were doing what they're supposed to be doing, swimming around looking for food! They've done nothing wrong!!! I drink, therefore I dance.....

Quokka2005 3,236 Posted June 1, 2016 Why does it have to be so cold. I stupidly thought up here wouldnt get that cold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JockinTas 2,207 Posted June 1, 2016 Why does it have to be so cold. I stupidly thought up here wouldnt get that cold Are you far inland? It's always colder inland than on the coast .......................... and it is winter now and yes, it does get cold in Australia in the winter especially the further south you go. It's amazing the UK folk who think Australia basks in non-stop warm temps the length and breadth of the country.

Think im going further north now lol Head north if you want warmth! I wore my woolie hat, scarf and gloves early this morning when out walking. This afternoon it's lovely and went for a walk in the sunshine in jeans and short-sleeved shirt.

Rossmoyne 3,545 Posted June 1, 2016 Stacey it was 5C overnight in Perth last night..... the house was like a fridge when I got up this morning and Rolo wasn't too happy about venturing out for his toilet break at 7am! Nice and sunny and 20C now though so sitting outside on the patio in the warm sun. ......Just trying to be helpful so don't shoot me down if my personal views do not coincide with yours! :animal-dog: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suzukiscottie 759 Posted June 1, 2016 I love this time of year in Melbourne. Wrap-up warm for early morning and night-time dog walks, yet you can cast the coats aside to sit outside for lunch! From Kilmarnock, now in Melbourne :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lindor 3,927 Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Unfortunately it is the age of having to blame someone for everything that goes wrong and not taking responsibility for decisions made. Who in their right mind would swim in a crocodile infested river/lake/beach is beyond me.... and well don't get me started on sharks! Their habitat... you invade it at your peril. Absolutely agree!! I can't begin to understand why the stupid woman would go swimming where she did! I do feel sorry for the lad who has lost a leg and is fighting for his life, but, he did choose to go into the shark's habitat. It found him and spat him out when it realised he wasn't food. For the Fisheries Department to then set drum lines to catch and kill a shark, any shark, is cruel, pointless and moronic!! I'm so angry and upset about this!! Shame on them!!
