A bit of an update...… wifey came home this arvo after her emergency surgery. Still doped up a bit on pain medication and getting around is painful for her. Plus she seems always tired and sleeping. Totally unusual for her. Time will heal so they say....

Is Mrs N improving at all? I hope so! Thanks for that Daz……. she is improving even though she is still a bit sore. Can't go back to work at the hospital just yet and a bit of a lifestyle change for her is coming up. But all good
Oh, and the weather during this so called "winter" has been awful. Nothing new about the November and December being wet and slushy and temperature around 0, but it has largely been the same all the time! Few times we have had something like -5 to -15 and some snow, but those didn't last more than few days at a time. However, the northern Finland (Lapland) has had lots of snow and cold, so the tourists have enjoyed the real winter like before.
The Port Elizabeth office of the South African Weather Service says the 40.2° C recorded on Sunday in Port Elizabeth made it the hottest day in 55 years."It almost reached the record high of 40.7°C measured in March 1965," said Garth Sampson, SA Weather Service Eastern Cape Client Liaison Officer. He added that other places that topped the 40°C mark were:Uitenhage 40.6°C,Coega 43.9°C, andAddo 40.7°C.
Wow! The lack of power for cooling was probably the biggest concern. Serious health risk for aged and sick.
Anyone heading down to the Superloop Adelaide 500, drop by the ADF paddock and say hello. I'll be the old'n'bold in a flying suit.
Wife and I are expecting kid #2 in May, and recently was promoted at work. Have backed off the second job a bit to spend more time at home. Still be plenty of room in the little wagon, 2nd seat already in.
That's insane @PhireSide We are so lucky in Australia despite fires and floods etc!
I'm having interesting times now as my winter vacation is approaching. I have a booking for one week in Tenerife, where they have just found 4 cases of coronavirus! The whole hotel, about 1000 guests included, has been put in quarantine as preventive measure for at least 14 days, and it's less than 10 km away from the hotel which I have booked. It would be a miracle should there be no more cases during next weeks...As long as Finnish authorities do not declare an official travel warning which tells to avoid traveling there, I won't get my money back if I decide to cancel the trip. It's still over 3 weeks away, and for now I can only watch what happens next. The whole thing was still unheard of when I booked the trip before Christmas.
I hope you have good missed port cover on your travel insurance....
I hope you have good missed port cover on your travel insurance....Good News, the Hybrid Rav is due June 30.....Good news, I will be on a cruise, so won't be able to pick it up for a while.
I drop the folks off at the airport this coming Wednesday, they'll fly to Melbourne then hop on the Cruise ship for a month voyage via all the major affected areas of Asia South Korea - China - Vietnam - Singapore - Sri Lanka - India, then down to the Maldives before making their way up past the horn (Somalia) into the Red Sea on up to Israel, then up the Suez canal into the Mediterranean for their next stop in Greece then on to Italy where they fly back from.They're more worried about ports being closed when they get there than the virus and being fit and active for oldies they aren't to bothered about a bad flu...I did tell em to make sure I'm in the will before they leave
No way Jose
