I wouldn't like to be trapped in a tunnel beneath the sea either, what fascinates me is when the front train broke down, why did they allow others to follow it in - how ridiculous. |

Tec - also on the news was an item about the bush-fire survivors. Two men who had horrible burns were talking about how they are getting on with their lives. However the reporter said that no-one else was willing to talk about what they have gone through and what they have lost. Understandable - especially when they are probably waking every night with dreadful nightmares. |

Hello, Allan. It's easy to be distracted by a phone call or a job around the house. |

Allan, You did very well with the plant pots - needless to say, we have to have frost proof ones. I like to look out for the old Victorian terracotta ones sometimes seen at auction sales that have cleared old houses. |

I think the vastness of Australia came home to me the very first time I sailed from Freemantle across the formidable Great Australian Bight to Sydney - best part of a week. |

The distance between Perth and Bunbury is greater than the distance between Bunbury and Perth |

My SIL lived in Cessnock - about 120Kms from here and I often visited her for a few hours and came home again. When she was ill, we were going there every few days and would be back home in time for my daughter to pick up her children from school. (Yes, she did have a Plan B in case of problems on the road - but never had to use it). |

Tec - I was on the Oronsay when it went across the Bight. The ship had stabilizers, but we struck a typhoon and the stabilizers broke off! I haven't had any desire to do that part of the trip again! |
