I bought a "lovely" beaded curtain at Bunnings. It was wooden beads of different sizes and cost about $30. Except the dog didn't like it, so she ate most of it.

LOL I think I would have the same problem Buzz.  I will have a look at those next time I go to Bunnings.

Joono & Laney here is an article about the swans, they really ae considered to be retro *Australiania* now.  Joono there's even instructions on how to make them on the net if you want a new hobby

Lol  Buzz, it's hard to find a nice one of those too

I think I will pass on that Deb 

 

It is true though that we have lost the days of home made garden ornaments and tyre swing sets.

 

 

 

 

me too!

I'm really glad we've lost those days. I lived in a town where one man had a tyre swan addiction and another made miniature windmills and cut out daisies from old chemical tins. They were all over the place, OMG so kitsch 🙂

Joono I've noticed that. Silence silence silence, then jumping in excitedly whenever there's biffo potential. I guess they thrive on it.

I would've given Clair 2 kudos and a LMAO if her post was still there.

I think it's pretty hilarious that some were so enamoured with Lithium but now that they have discovered that their unacceptable behaviour is not ok it is all someone elses fault.  Cliques controlling the mods 

Attempts to manipulate, I believe. Fail lol!

All those wasted hours composing composed messages, gone to waste. Poor things.

I'm sure there have been some attempts but never mind.  We are quality and will survive
