Picking my oranges

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!!!

Thats OK Dot. You have passed your test. My block has been going backwards for years.
There is going to be one hell of a campfire later. May need a long fork to hold the marshmallows.

Just as well I have no wheels. Good turning wood going to waste.
Watch out for Ray. Perhaps fill Girt while she is there.

It hurts to see photos like this unfortunately it has been going on for years as farmers are unable to break even on costs. I have seen this happen so many times Fifty years ago I would never have believed that it would/could occur in a once great country of Australia. Just why is it cheaper to import fruit. Bloody Awful. I always look for an Australian grown label but they are getting harder to find.

No good me borrowing wheels. So who is going to drive ?????. besides not sure how I would go on the lathe now. Turning by feel or braille might not work too good.

Hi " Homeless." I could throw a few trees in the river and they should float past you in a couple of weeks. It is not very good for turning as it is a bit soft and has no visible grain. Burns OK in a heater but has a lot of ash. Makes a very good bonfire though.

Sounds like a good time for a cook up as long as it is not the last two weeks of July. Cheers Robert
