Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Evening Dot, you been good yet? You getting enough sleep and rest? xxxx
Shirley, our last set of bridgestones only lasted a couple of years and we were not impressed with them. I don't have any better ideas, maybe some of the more mechanically minded/experienced may have better advice for you.
Sunday was another write off and we ended up with a negative balance at the end of the day. So not happy about that.
Today I slept as long as I could. Did a few odd jobs and then was reminded it was a Progress day and the local councilors were coming. Out of house clothes and rushed to be ready for my mate from down the road to get us there on time. Our group's sechetary had been on council a while back and she was there at the same time as the show pony who turned up today. She didn't let him get away with any of his usual grandstanding and their banter was very entertaining. The lady councilor was also interesting but what they both gave us, showed that the council seems to have two sets of rules. They each had different ideas on how council would react in a few different scenarios and it became very clear that there is one rule for the rich and then there are the rest of us. Clearly us common people get the wrong end of the pineapple every time.
It was interesting when I asked about the beautifications that have been made to our local swimming pool. Council workers came down one day recently and craned in many huge sandstone boulders right along the water's edge. This is the only fenced/netted pool into the lake in our area and it gets a lot of use. The boulders make it impossible for small children to access the pool and if the parents are lying on the grass, they can't see over the rocks to watch their monsters swimming. Exactly the same modifications were made about ten years ago and Progress made council remove the rocks from the area. I do hope we will be around to see that happening again. I love to see our money wasted by this mob....not.
The afternoon was not wasted, and worth the going.
night all xxx
