Good morning everyone on what is for me a very cool day (max 23°) between two very warm ones.
Not done very much this morning except make an eye appointment for tomorrow so I thought I would regale you with some snaps from my dash cam of yesterday’s drive.
Here we are on the expressway going past an Australia Post truck (the mail must get through)
brighter day today so a chance to have yet another go in the garden. This time so far only 1/3 of a wheelie bin full ,but stll more on the flower beds,
the latest camera “panasonicG9ii” firmware version 2.5 has made quite a difference to holding a camera steady, even my 100-400mm lens holds rock still hand held
Bright and sunny day here, together with a fresh wind down by the seaside.
Not sure what’s going on today, just come back from my walk and drop in some samples into the surgery, courtesy of yesterday’s hospital check-up. Probably do a bit of shopping later, maybe go for a drive. Whatever, time for my coffee…
Had an early visit to a surgery 10 miles away so some doctor could have a look at Mrs Fox’s knee and perhaps give her a steroid injection to ease the pain…It turns out that she has to have some physio at the hospital before the injection…
Following my recent annual appointment at the hearing specialist, I’ve got a build up of wax in my ears and have to shove some olive oil in each night before they try sucking it out with the latest Dyson… apparently wearing Hearing Enhancement Devices encourages the wax build up…You solve one problem and create another…
PS:- They don’t really use the latest Dyson…
Interesting drive there Bruce. I am ever trying to compare your landscape to ours. At one moment it looks like northern California and Oregon, and the next it looks like portions of the Great Plains and Texas.
It’s good to hear that Mrs. OGF is proceeding with physical therapy. I’m one who believes that we should have a physical therapist installed in our homes after age 60😆. I’m commiserating with her this morning. After an ordinary. slow but steady 5K, and having driven my daughter to her university classes, I’m experiencing some stiffness and swelling in my left knee. Who knows but that’s about, grumble, grumble.
As soon as I get back to town, I’m off to do another round of digging around in the storage unit to see what treasures (and I use that term very loosely) are hiding in bins and corners to fill up the crashpad. One thing for sure is that whatever comes out will never go back in. Lightening one’s anchor of material things at this point in life is so liberating! I just wish somebody had told me that back when I was in nesting mode in my thirties .
That’s it for me. I hope you all have a peaceful and pleasant day!
That’s the NHS for you, can only afford an older model.
Very good!
I have long ago ceased using Macquarie Pass, it only takes a truck stuck on the hairpin and traffic comes to a stop anyway. Also it means driving through a couple of villages and Moss Vale. Usually I stick to the Hume and come down Picton Rd and Mt Ousley, much further but faster and takes about the same time I only went this time just to see the damage to the Pass.
It is quite different one side of the Great Dividing Range to the other, it comes very close to the sea at Wollongong. It took the early settlers over a decade to find a way though to the interior in the 1790s. Being British it never occurred to them to ask the locals who did it all the time.
