I hate this time of night.

Oh, I hear ya. I hate not being able to sleep. Luckily, I've been so tired recently with work, I've been dropping off easily

I find restricting myself to 7 or 8 hours works perfectly. I never used to be able to sleep when I went to bed at 9:30... yes, I'm a naughty girl

90 degrees at night? Wow, you guys are doing it tough. We don't even have AC in the house, so in the summer it kinda sucks, to be honest

But I suck it up like a true Aussie and slap on the fan...

cameron: Sorry I missed your post before! Our big ones kinda hid it...

The cloud has been and gone two times, rumoured to be coming back round for a third. Nobody can say for sure, but Sydney has been relatively okay so far! It's been affected once, and only then for a couple of days. Cairns, virtually untouched

All the trouble's been in NZ, Tassie, and to a certain extent Melbourne.

Thank ya for the update!

Well! Today, the ash cloud has only been hanging around the southern ocean with flights across the Tasman cancelled by all but Air New Zealand... why can't the other airlines follow suit if they can do it?

The entire mainland is clear, domestic flights have been good to go for a few days now

You know, they're considering scrapping the five-cent piece due to a rise in metal prices. That's pretty funny, they've already gotten rid of one and two cents... what're we going to do if something costs 55 cents? Pay 60?

I can see a trend that's going to arise in almost every supermarket if the five cent is phased out...

Ah dang! Can't believe I missed you guys last night. I was up ALL NIGHT.

Haha yes some of us here are insomniacs and some are just australians

Funny! I'm neither insomniac nor Aussie, but I don't sleep worth a daggum.
Just got home from Legion Bingo Meat Draw where I won, are you ready, CHICKEN! LOL!

Everyone at the Legion has been following my chicken experience with great glee: I'm such a newbie, and they have birds living under an apple crate somewhere in a barn and now and then they check on them, LOL!

They told me that I needed to take my just won chicken, show it to my little 12 weekers and let them know that's what's in store if they pi@# me off!
Love my friends, but they think I'm a lunatic for building an actual COOP, much less giving the girls TREATS,

!

Whiteflare: Been to Australia! LOVED it. My ship was out of Japan, so as a "girl sailor", it was really, REALLY nice to be around fellas taller than I! But I also put a ton of nickels in the slots, so What Tha Hay if they get rid of the 5 cent piece?!
First was Darwin: I just walked down the clean sidewalks, smelling fresh wonderful air without a gazillion people bouncing off me... Pure Heaven.
Brisbane: Good friendly people, good food, good beer, good golly! Thanking the USNavy for taking me there!

AND: Thanks, Whiteflare and countrymen for being such AWESOME hosts to our rude bouquet of busted butts!!

You sound a bit Irish to me!
Did you know the CEO of Qantas is Irish?

Ooh, yes, I have lived in the UK, and one of the first things I noticed when I came here was how clean everything was!
Seriously, in my old city, the Morrisons had one helluva dirty outer wall: too many diesel engines parading through that choked-up city road, I guess!

And also, the roads are so straight down here! It's amazing. Every second road would be a dead-end in England... but everything is connected the everything else, it seems like every road I know intersects with one of the main streets here!

Hi, everyone! How are we all going at this lovely time of the morning?

 

[aubreynoramarie]

EXHAUSTED! I've been packing and moving and paintin for weeks now. Wish it was over!
