Good morning Stringers ..... and it is a perfectly beautiful Autumnal one this morning.

Not doing a single thing this weekend ..... bliss

I did have to go out and get some bits and pieces and that is the extent of my 'doing'.  Could not resist the hot cross buns at Bakers Delight - early I know but, but, but why not?

Good on you Flashie.  Is your 'posterior' still numb or are you now having to eat from the mantle piece?  Hope you have a bell on your bike.  Apologies for the chesnut which follows - just could not resist lol

Knock knock

Who's there?

Isabel

Isabel what?

Isabel necessary on a bike?

This weather is too beautiful to stay indoors.

Catch up with you all later - enjoy your day

Good afternoon Stringsters. Joono, I feel your pain, we finally have our phone and internet access back. It has been a week this time. We were told no one will come to check it out until 3rd March but it magically reconnected today. 

Every time it breaks down we are told a different story as to the reason. 

To add insult to injury, we got our phone bill in while the phone was cut off and on it was a charge of $148 for the 1800 call the last time the phone, internet and foxtel were cut off. I had sat for several hours refusing to hang up and demanding a solution (which never came anyway) and they charged us for it. OH had a few stern words and the cost has been removed. WWIII would have broken if it had not been.

Nics, I hope you have two happy and successful meetups 🙂

Proud of you Flashie 🙂

Laney, I hope the outcomes of all your hard work are as you hoped and I am glad you can now have a break from it.

JonnJenn, I was so happy to see your post I nearly cried. I am so happy you let us know you are ok.

And now for a read around.

ah Prim, there you are... finally, I wondered if it was your internet

and I agree, it was lovely to see JJ pop in here

. It's been such a long time,. I hope he calls in again soon

YAY! I sold something while I was out today. That makes me happy, it can go towards what I just spent 

Wow! we have some storm going on here atm,  it was humid today but this strong wind just appeared out of nowhere, bringing with it lots of thunder, lightning and heavy rain. I am loving it! Poor Bandit's not too keen though, he's hiding in his usual spot under the bed, lol

here it is

OP PRIORITY FOR IMMEDIATE BROADCAST

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING - MELBOURNE AREA for DESTRUCTIVE WIND

What a drama Prim!  I'm glad you are back on.  I can at least say that when I spoke to the lady at Telstra she was extremely helpful.  I think they are on a mission at the moment to try to improve their reputation because they keep sending out surveys to let them know how well they are doing and whether we are happy with the work carried out.

Enjoy your storm Deb.  I finally got out for a walk around the neighbourhood but I think I've already taken plenty of neighbourhood shots already so hard to think of new stuff.

no walking for me tonight Joono, by the looks of the weather here
