Not unless they were also training for the Avon Descent TGSE 
Perfect conditions this year ...............
Good to see you too TGSE 
Seriously though, RL has been hectic BUT putting a few runs on the board and heading in the right direction work-wise.
So much for retirement - think I am working harder but smarter these days lol
How has life down south been treating you?
Hi Deb
Must have been Flashie's ESP Deb .... she does have a 'sixth sense' 
I was thinking about you the other day actually ...... whilst we were having dinner at our favourite Indian restaurant lol
Your poor Tiges Deb and our poor Dockers ....... never mind, there is always next year 
Havn't had time to read around as I had hoped to catch up on everything - got lost in a plant catalogue as we are doing some restructuring of the garden after all this rain .... perfect timing and, since we have had a couple of huge tipuanas taken out, lots more areas getting lots more sun.
Strange though - we have almost lost a favourite orange tree and blame a new gas line which was put in for disturbing the roots. Some restorative pruning coming up I suspect!
Hi Nics - like you I have not been around but it sounds like you have been in hibernation anyway- from what you said you have been a bit below par 
Hope you are on the up and up now though
Will leave the op shopping to you and Deb - you are the past masters at that ...... I am not a shopper but still on the lookout for a light shade for the bathroom as it has been without one since a huge clap of thunder shook the house and the shade smashed to the floor in a million piewces.
The bits which fit into the lamp holder have been a permanent fixture in the car but just never got to the antique shops - always something else to do.
It was ages ago Deb - just shows what a bad shopper I am lol
Shingles Nics? Ghastly and so painful ...... no wonder you have not felt like doing much. Poor girl.
Your poor Dad Deb - and the cold weather would not help him either - very debilitating
WOW what a morning Stringers!
The 'sound' is a mass of white caps and the river as well. The wind has been gale force and a huge hailstorm hit whilst we were out. Fortunately not the size of golf balls - more like big grains of rice but piled up everywhere.
Palm fronds down everywhere along the river.
.... and yet Sunday sport continues ...... some very bedraggled spectators though 
Home, warm and dry and all prepared for a lazy afternoon.
Blissful!
