Nightly Goodnight Everyone

[T1 Terry]

I'm here Keith, just got home from the Adelaide electric vehicle meeting .....

Tonight, they had the two involved in getting the first V2G (vehicle to grid) set up that wasn't an exempt type trial run affair.
The hurdles they had to jump through to get all the boxes ticked and T's crossed, only to have the bloke go on holidays who had to put the final bit in that turned it all into a simple fill in the boxes thing for every licenced sparkie in SA .... but it's all up and running now ..... well, sort of, it bricked the blokes Nissan Leaf because it appears Nissan didn't actually understand what they were doing at there end

A very interesting talk, Sparkie Dave would have loved it, in one sentence I think he managed to string 5 anacronyms together ..... the scary part was, I think I was about one 5 that actually understood what he said, the other 30 something members had their eyes rolling back in their heads by that stage ..... about then, he realised he had lost most of the audience .... so, he then explained what each anacronym spelt out ..... that didn't help in the slightest
Everyone was excited though, a member pensioner now had the first real V2G in Australia actually set up and running ...... quite an achievement ....

Today was Brian's vet check on his eyelid, it has not improved so we made next wed morning he will have it removed and while asleep will have his teeth cleaned. G went back to Telstra about out dam phones and the downloading the cock up with the 000 stuff. G's ph was cut off when it was half way downloading it. The lady at Telstra tried several times to fix it but to no avail so he ended up getting another phone for $300 and all set up. WTF is going on with this rubbish? While he was away I got stuck into cleaning the bus up and it is filthy from all the dust we have had, just about got the bedroom and bog well cleaned but heaps more to do. G got the new mower all put together so guess I get the privilege of being it's first. Going to hit Ikea tomorrow after we drop lemons into RnB See they have hit $2 each now, they were $1 on Monday ? Still waiting for the man to come and give a quote for the driveway area. Deborah hope your roof is fixed by now. Bernie is home and relaxed Terry is working his belly off after having his eyes jabbed, jd is um ??? David is confused and Tanks is hot Watching Bernie Sanders rip into the "man" and is he getting stuck in . Off to bed now so Goodnight everyone x Goodnight NC George x

Dot, did Brian happily go to the vets? Good luck with the eye thing. I had to have a cyst cut off an eyelid once. The Newcastle surgeon just cut at it and left an open wound. Of course the cyst returned and then Gp sent me to an eyelid specialist in North Sydney. He cut the whole cyst off and delicately stitched it up. No recurrence of cyst. Takes a special person to do that job and get it right xxxx

The roofers were back and up on the roof at 8A bloody M. I was ready for them and was not happy with the result. They feel that they have stopped it but they have yet to find the reason for the actual water getting in. The gas pipe that goes to the ceiling, now has a fancy collar and extra waterproof piping all around and they had fiddled with more of the insulation sarking stuff. The suggestion is that possibly there is a tile under the solar panels that is cracked, but they can't get under the panels to check on that theory. We won't know until at least Sunday to find out if this work has helped. Rain is predicted for Sunday, so we will wait and see.

They left late and after we had lunch and fiddled around for a bit, we did nothing much and had an afternoon nap.

Today marks our daughter's 50th birthday. She is on a small boat crossing Milsons Sound (NZ) (or is that Milford's Sound? I dunno) with her husband and daughter. We had a good chat with her and they are all having a wonderful holiday. Her photos have been interesting.

Dot I see you lurking mate xxx

I was rudely awoken by the phone ringing and announcing in a loud voice who the caller was. This torture has got to stop.

We went off to the rta first to get my drivers license renewed. No dramas there, they insisted that I need a photo reshoot and then if they can sight our seniors card, I don't have to pay for the extra ID card that they insist I need...big brother???

That was quite quick, so off to optus. The lovely young man had a lookeeesee and changed the thing that said announce caller and t hen also made sure that the ringer kept ringing for a lot longer than it had been. Don't know, but will see if his "fix" is better than the young ladie's fix last week. Interesting that none of the staff on today were the same people that we saw last time.

Then we went off to have a celebratory lunch at the Doylo for our daughter's 50th. We celebrated and came home for a nap (it's bloody hot here at the moment).
That was enough for one day

Deborah yes Brian was a good boy for his check up. Today we went and delivered lemons to RnB and Molly and an interesting "show and Tell" about the mini starlink thingy, just looked like a flat white square thing to me Had a cuppa and G had 2 pieces of Molly's fruit cake and I had a piece for pudding with icecream and it was lovely and very moist, plus we came home with a few jars of Roberts home made pickles and sauces. yummy. Then we headed to Ikea not bothering any more with them, signage is crap and sizes are hard to read Nothing apart from the corner cupboard spinning thing that we were interested in, looked very flimsy so left it but I did get 3 paper baskets which I will use to put the crappy pots into for inside. Brian was in the same position as when we left home 11am and we got home at 8pm and guess where Brian was? yep curled up in the same place so G shoved the bowl under B's nose, he ate it then went back to same position and has not moved at all.Watered everything tonight ready for the next couple of hotties. Lets hope your roof is really fixed Deborah, been a bit of a saga. Still 0 from the gravel man. Saw the nasty land slip back home (NZ) that shoved c/vans, M/H's and buried some and still trying to locate people.. Off to bed now feet are stuffed. Take care everyone and Goodnight x Goodnight VicA x

Is every one prepared for the nasty hot days predicted for the next few days? Remember to keep those fluids up.As I expected today was going to be another bed day after the Ikea walking yesterday. It was still to hot to do anything outside but I did get some watering done and refilled all the bird baths. Maggie came a calling . I got peed off that the gravel man still had not called so I rang him myself I was very polite just said who was calling and asked when he was coming as it had been weeks. He said he was short of workers and had to do some of the work himself so I nicely suggested he could come either before or after work as daylight saving was on. After a few seconds he said he would come around 8am so I replied "that will be fine" We shall see or George will. BOB's is doing ok last 2 nights Ozzies have won stages so happy with that Tennis isn't much better, That Nick K is still an embarrassment with his mouth. Didn;t look like the other K was all that pleased either . Thats it for tonight time to open the house up and Brian is going to be woken up as he has been asleep all day. Hope all the sickies are improving so Goodnight everyone x Goodnight Shirley x

I watched the tennis, good to see Alex De Minaur get thru, last Aussie man standing in the singles.
I just finished a sudoku time to try & get some sleep
Goodnight everyone,
Goodnight Dot.

Good to see that you are prepared for the hot days ahead Dot. IT must be summer. xxxx

We had a fang farrier appointment today for his lordship. I always go to be a support person, but in reality it wasn't as serious as he thought. He has a nice new filling and hoping for it to settle down soon.
I had a restless night last night so had an arvy nap again today, I think the heat is taking it's toll on us too.
