I used to embrace menial type work for many innate and nurtured reasons. I was never too proud to heft a shovel. Happy to see so many glimples of society, like with my teaching later on. In fact, working on Goff's Red scheme digging ditches I met an Irishman navy who taught me the art of...

I was always on the go as a young fellow Craig. I moved between student share homes frequently and jobs to fund my passions for cars, motorbikes, beer and girl friends. I've only got a fraction of that energy nowadays.

My initial forays into the world of work in Australia was bits and pieces everywhere. Mostly I was studying at school and Uni and happy to take almost any part time job to earn a dollar or two. At one stage I was working 3 part time jobs. From 1970 landing in Oz I worked: pushing trolleys...

With my high blood pressure Craig I have to avoid salty foods like bacon. 😥

Thanks for the tip about Walnuts Thomas. I googled their great benefits and Almonds were given the thumbs up too. I'll put them both on my next shopping list. Nuts are an easy light and healthy snack for sure. I still try to avoid fat, sugar and salt for my heart's sake but once did love my pan...

Is it a type of toy then Thomas? 🧸 Who would use such a thing? A child, a pet, a teen, an adult? 🎭 Does it have any inbuilt powered electronics? 🔆 Is it a consumable item? 🚫

Listening to my radio about diets I've become more aware about the benefits of Omega3 from eating certain "oily" fish. Every third meal I fry up some fish, but not often the oily ones like Salmon, Tuna, Mackerel, Herring, Sardines, ... Once a week would help and it has heart benefits. Anyway...

Is it a type of tool? What is its function? What materials is it made from? Do most households own one or more?

Different breeds, personalities, temperaments? I avoid all the dangerous breeds Thomas, but love most other dogs, especially the smaller breeds that live longer. Like Craig, I find it traumatic when they die. My neighbour was inconsolable when his last dog died suddenly. He has a beautiful...

I am still amazed at some of Trump's Cabinet picks. Meta AI churned this out for me: Donald Trump's latest cabinet picks include: - *Secretary of State*: Marco Rubio, who will become the first Latino to serve in this position. Rubio is known for his hawkish views on foreign policy...

Opps, I'm mixing up my metaphors like a drunken sailor with icing on the cake.🤯

One past thing I sometimes ponder on are all the dogs I've had in my life from a childhood Collie called Jack to an adorable Golden Retriever I called Pippin, a vigilant Terrier cross Corgi called Benji, a wild and wilful miniature Pinscher appropriately named Mack and now an ageing Chihuahua...

That's a great clip Craig, except the brief sales pitch at the end on cyber security. Very informative nevertheless and confirmed many of my own perceptions on global affairs. What might Trump do? No one knows including Trump! Looney tunes trumpets any which way... 🎶🎵🎶🎙🎵 🤪🤯 I think Trump...

That's it Thomas! Well done! 👍 Too easy, your turn.

Agreed about restricting access to social media for children Kram. As a father and now grandfather, and an old chalkie spending decades guiding our teens, I know how sensitive our kids are to all the school and cyber bullying, even causing vulnerable kids taking their lives.That tragedy is...

Plastic, gas/fluid, metal and a lttle stone.. ☄🧐 It's used for creating a flame. 🔥

Ok, how about I start another item? I'm thinking of an item that one cannot eat!

Good you're moving with the IT times like me Craig. Between me and my old Dad we digitised all our old home movies including his 8mm ones. All nicely on many sd devices now. I'd previously let a muso digitize most of my vinyls giving me all the files, which he kept copies of too no doubt. 🙄

In my early years I was mad keen on music too, but that was then. Now I take the easy path with great DAB radios and a big choice of music from classical, folk, pop, rock, grunge, punk, smooth, ... My go to stations are 6ix with sixties to eighties music and the ABC News channels. Meanwhile my...

I don't know Thomas, but I think the various "Turkish Delight" chocs etc,,,,, are my absolute favourites. 🤗 Being a well managed type 2 pre diabetic.
