Good morning everybody, no need for a weather report, it’s Darwin in the dry season, same old.
It is my last day in Darwin so spent the morning with my son shopping, he needed oil and a container to change the oil in his car, I needed milk and bread to take with me tomorrow. Of course I also needed to fill up with fuel.
Checked the tyre pressures in my car and camper, a bit on the high side because it is 10° warmer than when they were last checked.
Still undecided on my way home but straight down the Stuart Highway to the Alice, Coober Pedy, Woomera and Broken Hill is firming up as favourite at the moment because the flooding in the channel country has not subsided enough.
This evening we are going out for a meal, I probably won’t see them again until they return to Sydney next year. I have always liked Darwin since I first came here decades ago, it is even smaller than Canberra with a population of about 150,000 (let’s face it, the entire population of the NT is only about a quarter million). You just have to get used to 32/3° temperatures every day.
Good morning!
Clear, sunny but a bit cool; still, it looks like it will warm up to become another nice day
I have a few errands to do in the town centre today
I’m working with a community centre to start a Men’s Shed, and will be taking posters & leaflets to a few places - the library, a community shop/cafe/advice centre, that sort of thing
Also doing my own errands & shopping
Lovely and sunny here today although not too hot - perfect!
I feel very motivated to have a good rummage around the cupboards etc and have a ruthless clear out, separate the wheat from the chaff.
I’d actually forgotten I have this, lovely little Shimano and never been used in anger. I got a nice discount on this one for cash at a local tackle shop about ten years ago now.
Morning all. Spent most of yesterday giving my PC a good going over and doing some internal surgery to make it finally be able to run Windows 11. Looks like I’ll be spending most of the day clearing out all the bloatware and getting it up to how I want it, with all my usual progs (mainly all my camera stuff).
Meanwhile, I’ve just come back from my daily walk and had to replace my reading glasses which broke yesterday with my messing around. Looks like another hot and sunny day down here in Hampshire. May decide to leave my PC for another day and taking a wander along the seafront.
