Opened both eyes - at the same time!
Eye-eye!
OK, for someone who doesnāt know the first thing it may - sound - that way, which includes a large degree of uncertainty. I might have read too much into it but it could be understood this way because you say that your life in SA ācontinuesā which either implies it might have been unplanned and that there may be or have been other choices. If you connect that to āWestern mindā on your profile you could jump to that conclusion. I realise I just did that. No offence meant. 
Just for you to increase your jealousy hereās a brand new impression of the concert. Elton is getting on in years as we all do and after his hip replacement limps a bit. The concert, atmosphere, and the weather were fantastic, of course. Traffic was an endless jam. I was thinking of the event management company and those supplying the equipment that they can now generate some urgently needed money again after Corona.

I have just driven back from Canberra in appalling weather (it has just hailed here) after a weekend dog sitting. This morning I took my daughter out with the dog to show her its improvement, she was so delighted which made me really pleased. She has taught it all sorts of clever tricks but she didnāt know much about making it walk at heel.
On the long weekend in June I have to go back to look after the dog again. I have to say Canberra in winter is a cold miserable place I normally avoid the place in winter - the temperature ranged from 5Ā° at night to 14Ā° during the day. Sheer hell!

Welcome to our world Bruceā¦
My son in Queensland says they are having a polar surge / fume or something like that .
It has definitely been the wettest most miserable summer and autumn ever and La Nina is predicted to continue into the spring so there is no relief in sight.
After the bushfires of 2019/20 it has been floods all the way up the east coast from Tassie to Cape York, absolutely appalling weather over an incredibly long period of time. The word āunprecedentedā has been used an unprecedented number of times by forecasters and newscasters.
The result of La nina means that a busy Hurricane season is predicted for the Atlantic, in the pacific the first storm as already hit Mexico.
Nothing much as per thread title, been out with Alf, now its coffee time.
daily walk done and not so good today had to stop a couple of times
update
Sue wanted the grass garden shears sharpened so another little job done
Thatās three walks then.

yes thanks, some days are better than others but still got a few weeks to go before going on holiday and not forgetting cruise ship shore days out are not all walking non stop so should be ok by then

Late this morning - didnāt get until 0900. A shower, breakfast and off to the grocery store. It was spitting rain when we got there so we kept in the shelter while my wife did shopping. It was quite a lot of stuff in case we got caught before the shops ran out before the Jubilee. Now back home and is still rather cold at 8C.
Cycled to our GPās surgery to see the phlebotomist. She drew an armful of blood for the tests the doc has asked for plus the PSA test I asked for. Then I cycled back home.
Took a bootful of stuff to charity shop.
fixed a date to meet my friend who is like a sister to me. Her son and his wife are splitting up and she is heartbroken as they have 3 kids under 8 who she idolises. They had a big wedding abroad, they both have good jobs and the kids are all healthy so things looked really positive. She is in shock and canāt sleep for worrying so she needs a shoulder to cry on.

Got my mitts on a Ricoh GR3x but didnāt buy it.
Bought shoes in Timberland, very comfy, Ā£120 - 10% for signing up to their email newsletter.
Got an eye test in Vision Express, same old frames, new lenses, collect in 10 day, Ā£160.
Big Mac for lunch.
Home now.
Flippy neck, d00d, those lenses are expensive or, how many pairs of glasses are involved? I paid Ā£35 to have a pair of my old readers re-glazed by Specsavers.
Extra thin/lightweight, anti-glare, varifocal, scratch resistant, go dark in sunlight, and there may have been something else added to the list. It all adds up.

It sure does. All of my glasses have plain, bog standard, nothing fancy lens. I have clip-on polarisers for when I go fishing.
