Gilly, I always climb ladders with bare feet....I think it is safer. Even when I am cleaning out the gutters (the colorbond roof is 2 stories off the ground) and I hook up to an antenna.  Recently when I was up there a bush turkey kept following me around and rooting around in the leaves I was scooping out of the gutters.

Will bump you up in the mornings Darkie-lol.

Too good a thread to let drift away.

Notice you started a new one.

----------------Gilly stay off that ladder--remember what happened

last time.............A long thread started-you

were in hospital for ages-you silly old biddy-lol.

Richo.

Thank you Richo... good on you 🙂

Yes I did start a new thread just for fun, you mean the one abou getting old?  I thought it was great.

Yes Gilly you hear him... no more ladders for you... You only have to fall 9 feet and you would be critically injured... that is official ambo talk... straight off to hospital in an ambulance 😞

Well I have dragged the chain recently.  I had a door arcitrave begin to fall off so I had the carpenter here today.

Tried to do gardening and still training the dogs not to rush to the fence line... sigh :_|

Then I found a really wonderful firewood man.  He delivers and stacks for me... he's a treasure, believe me.

Evening seniors.

high up on the first page.

As an early riser-will give it a lift if is at the bottom of

Sigh... is that how it happens Gil?  Alzheimers I mean 😞

Well I'm back on the internet .. ergen..  let's hope this time it stays.

Got to say I'm at a loss at the moment.  Running out of steam I think.

As Gil says, lots of memories but non coming forward much at the moment.

Oh I know, who else remembers the Royal Navy ships in Sydney Harbour during the war and the fire works being let off from Fort Denison?

Who remembers the trams across the bridge?

What can you remember of the city you lived in as a kid?

I also remember very clearly when the Cahill Expressway didn't exist.

And when Sydney was 'browned out' during the war years.

AND the very first neon sign I saw when the war was over... it was a teddy bear on a bicycle eating an icecream and the wheels went round and his arm moved the icecream up to his mouth and down...

My mother knew Sydney before the Harbour Bridge was built and going back and forth between Sydney and Milson's Point on a ferry.

I remember the trams used to go down Miller St. North Sydney...I used to catch one (on my own from boarding school:O) in my late teens to have confirmation lessons at St. Stephens with a man called Mr. Paramour....my headmistress nearly wet herself laughing when I told her...she wanted to know did I know what a Paramour was...and she enlightened me.   Not because I was particularly religious at all, just to get out of boarding school and actually join the real world if only for a few hours...I was also allowed to go to the City Sydney Library in the Queen Victoria Building.   I always bought a cream bun...num..with real cream and strawb. jam on the way through Wynyard. I also remember a couple of perves, grabbing my crutch as they walked past in a crowd.  by the time you turned around to see who'd done it, they of course kept their back turned and you were never sure who it wasX-(  I also had a man do the exposing himself on the tram one day...I just laughed and looked away.
