A Philippines Kangaroo.

In my travels thanks to the wonders of Google I found a Kangaroo on the side of the highway just south of Daraga, I hope it's better behaved than our local ones, who must have learned how to react to traffic from the deer in the USA.

Another tooth gone.

The curved root made this one a difficult job for the excellent dentist who suffered having me today.
I had gone to had the tooth she put a temporary filling into a few months ago pulled but my tears when describing how much pain this burglar on the other side of my mouth was giving persuaded her to pull it instead.
Of course life isn't simple for those of us who use the free public system, now Olivia has to phone the system in order to do as the dentist requested and get two more teeth pulled, at least soon there won't be any left to hurt me.

Best after.

My parents visited the other day and I saw this on the side of a bottle of beer my Dad brought with him, I've never seen a best after date on anything before.

Simple job.

I thought it time to replace the storage battery in our solar powered street number gadget, it'd been through hundreds of charge cycles and wasn't staying lit too long at night so hopefully this will add a bit of vitality.

Pushbike brakes.

Something I never heard of in my youth, and I suppose they don't want ordinary people to know is that the brake blocks should be set so the trailing end contacts first when braking, that means the end that's closest to the front of the bike unless you're far more skilled than me and ride it backwards a lot. This should avoid the grabby and generally bad feeling you can have.
I must get out and pedal a bit more, hopefully this will spur me on a bit.

Cool.

Olivia snapped this of the temperature coming out of Daisy's vent when we we're driving to Townsville today. I don't think I need bother with any more get colder tweaks.

It's fashion but not as I know it.

Olivia bought these pants for me a few weeks ago, I'd be far too scared to be seen in public wearing them but I'm also lucky enough to have a lovely wife who has rapidly taught herself sewing skills and can adjust the legs to a suitable length.

Resulting in shorts I'm quite happy to wear. My legs are so short that I've always had to adjust the length of long pants, now sadly due to what I see as an insane fashion I also have to adjust my shorts, else the legs drag on the ground.
