My Solar Panals Finally Arrive.

I ordered 9 solar panals in April last year and they
finally arrived on June 29 and 30 2011.

The men that put thm on took two days as the panals
would not fit onto the exisitng roof as the support
beams (according to the young man doing the install-
ation were rotted out). So they had to come back
Thursday with a tilt frame.

I thought that there were two elephants on the roof
the amount of noise they were making but what was
worse was at one stage they dropped 'sometging' and
the imoact was so loud on the roof taht the walls of
my bedroom shook and a book fell of the book shelf!

It was not till about 5 p.m. long after they left
that I tried to put my T.V. on only to fine I no
longer have a signal and in case it was just my T.V.
playing uip I tried Meg's T.V. in the lounge room
and it was not receving a signal either so They must
have pulled my cable out while they were up there.
I asked how much damaged they did when they dropped
the panal and they did not dent that it was a panal
that they dropped and they "claimed no damage" but
I doubt that I just hope they have not put a hole
in my roof otherwise when it rains I am going to
have real problems.

I told Meg all thia as I had to go around to her
and Mick's house to watch "Desperate Housewives."

She is going to go up on the roof for me at the week
end and have a good look around to see what happened.

Cone-ing

First there was the "Jackass" antics which were not only
stupid but dangerous. Then came planking that was
thought to be just stupid till someone killed themselves
falling from a balcony after performing a planking stunt
and now comes cone-ing (invented) by a Brisbane man Alki
Stevens which is stupid and a perfect waste of icecream.

In a survey over 16,000 people nearly 12,500 thought the
same as myself.

I'm ashamed that it was invented in Australia. With all
the things that could be invented to help mankind we have
idiots out there dredging the bottom of their intellect
to come up with such crazy ideas as this. If you want
to be know for something for G..d's sake make it some
thing worthwhile.

Ariel Has Had Her First Litter!

Finally after three years of trying, Ariel now four
years old has finally had her first litter. One was
born dead and a further two died durung the first
24 hours. Two survived. They are both girls. They
are now two weeks old so that is looking very good.
But a poor result overall for a first litter.

Cliff has to give one to the owner of the dog, but
wants to keep the other one. When I asked why he
said because Puppy has not long to go. This despite
the fact that I have told him that I want him to move
in with me within four years and I will NOT want any
type of animal in my house!

Bad enough that I have had to put up with cat and dog
dander for the past 15 years every week end but I
WILL NOT have it in my house!

Mail Center Reunion

A couple of months ago, Wilma rang me and asked
would I be interested in coming to the Morwell
Club for a Mail Center Reunion. I assumed she
meant the people that had taken the package in
June 1993, but as it turned out it was for people
who had ever worked at the mail center and then
left, though two of those present stll work there.

It was held on Saturday June 4th, which as I
explained to Cliff was there a double celebration
as it has been 15 years since our first date. I
never even thought about Rob being there until
the next day, it might have been sad seeing him
after all these years. I would have liked to
catch up with Don Thomas and his wife but they
were also not there, nor was Brenda K.

There were people I knew as soon as I saw them,
and remembered their names. There were also
people whom I reconized but could not remember
their names and of course then there were people
whom I had no idea who they were. 18 years makes
a differnece to some people, they go grey or
bald, and of course put on weight.

But it was not a bad night and I did get Urusla's
number, but now have to remember where I put it!!!

Changes

When Cliff and I took Aud to Melbourne airport we noted
there has been a big change in airport security. When
we flew up four years ago that there was security for
interstate flights only, but this time they have changed
everything around and there is security for all flights.

Everyone has to go through the security wands, doorways
and xray machines. Aud had to take off her shoes and
put them through the xray as they had metel in them.

This is to gain acces to the eating areas ect, not just
for the actual passengers taking the flights!

We had something to eat while waiting. Now instead of
going as far to the left as you can go to get the
Mildura flight we had to go as far as possible to the
right. We only had to wait 20 minutes till her flight
was called. We saw he out the door then when back
upstairs and bought some Krispy Kremes.

Cliff said he thought they were very popular and could
not understand why they were going broke in Australia,
then I made him pay for them. He was shocked at the cost!

While Australians can get cininom donuts for about $2
for 6, 6 glazed Krispy Kremes cost $14:95. Simple
economics, they are too expensive. The customer will
only pay so much for a product. Whenever Don Jr, Meg
or myself go to Melbourne we try to get half a dozen
glazed and share them between us. That is about once
every two months, they are a treat, not like we buy
them every week!

The trip to and from the airport was good, not too
much traffic on Sunday.

Grass Cutting Cont:

Well I went down to Legal aid when I received a
notice from the Sheriff's office about the fine
and it turns out that the only way to fix it now
is to go back to court with my paperwork, explain
that the council withrew their case and have the
matter struck out. That will be another wasted
day!!

In the mean time I am to keep my paperwork handy
and if the sheriff comes knocking at the door I
am to show it to them and explain that the order
was a mistake and that Legal Aid is looking into
it for me and that could they wait PLEASE!

Audrey Takes Me Shopping For Clothes For Cliff!

We went into K mart after having a coffee and snack at
Zips, but it is no longer Zips. We ordered a snack and
Aud could not eat it because it was burnt and I order a
busheria but the one they gave me was half the size of
the one on display and when Aud complained she could
not eat her meal the man said he would take the cost
off and charged her $25. That made my snack $15.

I have never paid more than $10 for it at any club,
pub, hotel, even the Ritz only charged $10 and that
was three bits the same size as the two bits I had got!

Aud ended up buying socks, jocks, singlets and hankies
for Cliff. I think it funny that she still buys these
things for him. I guess if she didn't he would not have
any as I don't do that kind of shopping for him. I guess
if we did live together I would buy them as I did fo Don.
I know that Cliff hates clothes shopping and tries to do
as little of it as he can.

She wanted to buy pants for him but that is hard as he
does not wear them correctly as instead of having the
waist at the waist, as is normsal, like many obese men
he pulls it down under his stomach, so that the pants
legs are too long, and they are too tight around the
gut! He would look really snazy if he pulled them up
and wore braces with them but no he has to look like
a daggy ockie!
