Good morning daily

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!!!

His all terrain boots to climb down the hill with a sack of presents .... and we don't have a chimney .... wait a bit, if I leave the rain cover off the Chimenea, he can do his entry that way :lol: Front lawn is still above water, so a precision landing and take off might be required, but I'm sure he and the reindeer are up to the task ...... but I can at least consul myself with it being in the "too hard basket" if I don't get any presents :roll: :lol:

Christmas 2012 we camped alongside the ferry at Purnong in the Council-provided camp area.
The Murray was a bit high at the time, but the ground looked OK.
A downpour overnight saw Girt sink 6" into the ground when it turned to slush.
Took a Land Rover with a PTO winch 90 minutes to get us out... after a Council articulated tractor which came to rescue us sank 12" to the tyre rims & had to be dragged out by a bulldozer on the dry road!

It's a tad damper than that now Ray, I doubt the windscreen wipers would stand much chance keeping the water off :lol: Walker Flat is now 4.5 mtrs over normal river height and Mannum is 3 mtr over, Purnong ferry is closer to Walker Flat than it is to Mannum so I'd guess it's around the 4 mtr mark there. Wouldn't you like to be at swan reach at the moment (not) 7 mtrs over the normal river height and still rising ....

Merry Christmas to all .
Time is passing too quickly so live life to the full with your spouse/partner while you still have she/he by your side.

BernieQ --look what I found on the web thing under Google:--

Can back problems affect your bowel movements?
Issues in the lower spine and sacrum can lead to symptoms like constipation, diarrhea, bloating, gas, or bladder malfunction. This occurs because the lower spine includes sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves that connect directly to the digestive system, so interference directly affects these processes.
The above situation plus the Endone and Paracetamol does not help the condition.

The article did not list pain, so I guess that we just think we have pain.

I plan to have another birthday next year.
