It was meant to rain again today, but although I can see a big bank of dark cloud the weather up until now could have got at least a line of clothing dry if we thought we could’ve trusted it. Of course, if we had trusted the sun to keep shining it would have rained. Can’t win.

Thank you. He still likes to eat, but his heart problem might be getting worse. And 15 is very old for a dog of his size. But I think they’d be happy to be your dog nephews nonetheless.

Wasn’t expecting a storm tonight, but it doesn’t seem to be that strong. At least, not yet. Hail was promised for some parts of NSW, but I’d not be surprised to find out we’re on a trailing edge & the worst of it hit somewhere else before it arrived here.

I am owned by these two. Jasper, on the right, is 15 and we may have to make a dreaded decision about him soon. Bailey, on the left is 3, so we will have him for some time yet, thankfully.

The thing is, it would actually be spine-chilling if you found a complete set of human vertebrae in your fridge.

For the map as now, yes, & represent some of the Barrier Reef islands, like Brampton and Hamilton. Not sure what it would do if the map was inverted. Maybe we should just leave it as it is & the northern US can be warm, & the southern US much cooler & see what happens.

We were warned -bad map projection. Also, it’s bad because the US should be upside down in comparison to Australia for the climate differences.

Oh dear. That makes me glad that Torrens title is in use for property registration in Australia. For the most part. There still are some old system title properties but you don’t have to go back quite that far.

Thank you. I think Mum has started to see it too. But I think she’s hoping for a nudge from the vets, rather than make the decision cold. I can’t blame her.

Thank you for mentioning that. I’ve just bought the e-book version because of the excerpt of one letter above & your saying that it remained in print.
