Chris bailey is OK. What the hell is he doing in such company? (pun intended)

Jonathan

Thank you. :D Honestly I opened this up expecting the worst, and got a decent chuckle instead. We could all use a bit of levity, Agree. It was a sad day when a neighbour whose son was "learning" the trombone moved away. At least another neighbour's daughter who played the drums was pretty...

The underlying portrait looks fine. But the red .... there must be some obscure meaning to it?

My mother had a thing for George Peppard so we all had to watch Banacek. She could even stomach The A-Team!

Simon, not ignored in this neck of the woods.

Jonathan

Looked like it was a Subaru WRX.

Delusions about being a rally driver?

And yes Nik, the insurers will have a dim view of such stupidity.

With a name like that I am surprised that the campsite is meant to be dry!

Jonathan

After early forecasts of hot and dry, the east coast and southeast have been mostly mild and often wet, with more rain to come. Sydney in early January is more like mid-spring.

Jonathan

Early 2024 is going to be interesting. All the best to all.
