It's sunny today.

Another sunny day on Grace's birthday, that's three in a row after years of being flooded at this time of year.
The flowers I'm holding gave me a bit of a shock as they were on her grave as if they were placed there, but looking about I found a matching set on a fresh grave that had far more likely blown there, so I returned them.

A pair of stickers.

I found an Aussie sticker to go alongside the Philippine one on Daisy.

Birthday time.

It's Australia Day today but since it's a bit of a muddled non-event unlike our real birthday on the 1st January 1901, I'll celebrate Joan Leslie's 90th birthday.
She's on the right here alongside the Cagney siblings from my favourite film Yankee Doodle Dandy, it's a real pity the budget didn't expand to include colour but at least they hired one of the great directors in Michael Curtiz.
I just noticed in this screen capture that Jimmy Cagney has shoes that couldn't lift him any higher and still allow his feet to function.

A pretty fair price.

If I was still capable of playing golf then I'd be attracted to this course at Macknade.
It was nice to go for a short drive today, hopefully Olivia will continue to improve.

A timely loss.

This chunk of bad tooth fell out of my mouth at lunchtime, it should save a bit of time on Monday week when the dentist was planning on pulling the pieces of a couple of molar's out, now there's one less piece.
It should also be my last dental visit for years, after 20 months of priority work being done.
An abstract way of thinking is that the work has all happened under our current State government after 10 years of being under a waiting list with the previous government, so if the current government is so criticised for reducing staff numbers then just what did those staff do? because the current staff have fixed my teeth.

Q: What's this?

A: Jimmy imitating Tiger Woods.

Puzzling.

This seemed a bit of a contradiction to me, a smoking cutoff at the stairs to the medical centre, that may lead the multitude of parents to think it's fine to smoke while they're overseeing their children play on Scruffy, but I think we have state laws banning smoking within 4 metres of a play area, so for me there's a simple solution to this quandary.
