Hughie,
Have seen the floods in Australia on the news today . Don't think it's that close to you? but keep safe and to all other members on the forum.

We're about 500 miles south of those devastating floods in NSW and further North in Queensland. John Bone's (username "gnyaff" AKA Wee Boney) area in Deception Bay was reported to have had 200 mls in a short period, so I'm hoping he and the wee wuman have come through alright - but they're saying it's not over yet.

I suppose the grass isn't always going to be greener on the other side.

Thinking ten years on and over 5,500 posts later, this topic needs a wee bit more input - what IS everyone doing this Easter Sunday. I’ve got lamb for dinner, we’ve had a long lie and the house is a chocolate free zone. Anyone been up Cannon Hill rolling eggs yet?

Daylight saving just ended for us in eastern Australia with the exception of Queensland who don't participate - so we're well into Autumn and having magic weather over this long weekend. Our town is absolutely loaded with holidaymakers many of them not wishing to travel interstate in case they are caught in a lockdown.

Just watched the boat race, not the usual spectacle on the Thames but on a manmade section of the Great Ouse in Cambridgeshire. Cambridge won both races.

We’ve just had a power cut half way through cooking dinner and everything has come back up except the oven

If I’d been in Ardrossan, I might have, because, unexpectedly, I had one to roll. A ten year old, whose family recently moved into the street, apparently having used his own savings, knocked on the doors of several ‘elderly’ neighbours on Saturday night and gifted each household a ‘big’ chocolate egg.
I was a wee bit miffed that the wife and I qualified on the basis of ‘auld age’, but suitably impressed with the young man's gesture!

That’s a lovely young man there - I can understand feeling miffed about being included in the “elderly” group - I tried to deliver a birthday present to my friend but she wasn’t in. Her neighbour told her later that an “auld woman” had been at her door. Hope you enjoyed the chocolate.
