Howdy all

 

I forgot no internet at the farm...I'll pop in and say hi from time to time 

 

Farm life is awesome, but busy as all get up...wind caused chaos the other day...been clearing debris for ever!

 

Anyway, I'm out again...

 

Peace all.

NSW cops it hard. Also, we are a fuckin' huge state, so it's not that incomprehensible that our power is stretched.

I seriously haven't experienced it here man... May be I'm just not paying close enough attention, but I'm always using my computer and TV at home and never been cut out.

 

The ones I was talking about at Canterbury substation was the last one I noticed on the 22nd of August and is the latest in Sydney judging from that link. May be I should be clearer, I haven't noticed anything in the suburbs I've lived in over my life, although NSW as a whole may get smashed, the majority of it hasn't affected me.

Newer the suburb = less problems. 

[Liberty]

True. Although I don't think the two suburbs I have lived and still live in are quite new... It'd be interesting to find that stuff out actually. I'm gonna check out the local council website and see whether I can find how old it is.

 

Kingsgrove, the suburb I used to live in about 5-6 years ago, was the name given to land granted to Mrs Hannah Laycock (1758-1831) in 1804 - then known as King's Grove Farm.

 

Earlwood, the suburb I live in now, was the name given to land granted to John Parkes, who was a convict transported on the Bardwell in 1797 for seven years for stealing "a great coat, called a beaver coat, worth sixteen shillings" throughout 1816.

 

Interesting. There is so much more, but I don't think any of you would be interested, ha ha.

Enough bludging. Time to vacuum and wipe down my interior. I'll be back soon.

Hi 'dam. What proactive thing are you doing today?

 

I just finished cleaning the interior of my car. Gosh it's hot outside even in the shade of my garage...

Good woman.

Washed the cars this morning too.

Ah nice man. Jess managed to get some free Gold Class tickets so we're planning on doing that in the early evening and possibly going out for dinner. Wanna try and get an early night in though for work tomorrow. Starting at 6:30 AM instead of 6:50 AM.

[Adam]

Nice. Wouldn't mind giving gold class a crack!

Been there once before to watch Fast and Furious 6. It made the experience even better. Lounges are comfortable as, there is a table for your food in front of you, there are actual waitresses that bring you your food at the minute you ask for during the movie and the seats are reclinable! So much so that you can lay down as if you were in bed.

 

So good man.

 

We might even have dinner there tonight... That's a good idea.
