Tabaluga's

No overseas travel for me this year I think @ENKELI . Conference is in Sydney so should be able to go. It’s in November so I can start putting money aside for it after I pay gap on eye surgery. Have a good rest of the day.

@TAB see that's what happens - you get too over confident and WHAM! I was the same, I dropped mine on cement and although it didn't crack I should have been more careful. The next time I dropped it on a tile floor it shattered the screen and that was the end of it. I make sure I have protective covers now!

@GezzaP a trip away is exciting, especially when it's for something you really want to attend.

I am doing a cruise from Barcelona through Italy, France and back to Spain and then 5 days in London in November with my bestie to celebrate 50 years of friendship. Of course it's now 52 years but it's taken that long for us to decide what to do and where to go!!
I also dream of having New Year in New Jersey with a dear friend of mine. We have our birthdays in the first week of Jan and have promised we'd celebrate together one year. Hoping it will be next year.

Enjoy the rest of your week xo

@Meowmy thanks,you too. no they wont get bills sorted. I have given them thousands over the years, does not go to bills as always says have more.

they are in difficult situation and being well, childish. no rain here, but wood bit wet

couldnt sleep again,sometimes hard w cat depending on where it is on bed and how tired I am. if I push it outof way it gets upset and goes outside.

good re coffee etc. split2 bags wood after burning so much last 2 nights, guess what is for. was luxury, ha. could have had xray in hours time, extra trip , all too hard. they were nice and got me in not long after gym. theres nice cafe at hosp, ha., maybe get nice roll and newspaper if any left. Tooth not good . going to shop shortly to get something to eat, then put more stuff on it. waste to put on now then eat and have to do again. going to split another bag of wood now (20kg guessing) so should have enough for few nights. almost time to order another load , ha. this is mostly last years, some the year before

You are the Champion

oh put mine on washing machine,with sheet over it. so slipped straight off, drops like 2 ft onto pile of crap on floor,think plate inside a stockpot,reallybad sound, screen went. hit so hard, bent phone. felt sorry for it @ENKELI then of course didnt back pics up properly etc ok wiped phone, but screen had come good, could have save stuff that I didnt oops

@TAB now that is just cruel! Curse you technology! I wish I'd backed up my Iphone, I had a video of my cat Dinah chasing her tail, it was hilarious. Phone cracked in half, nothing could be retrieved. Now I make sure everything is sent to the cloud. I may have 3 copies of the same thing but at least I have it! 😄

Yes @SmilingGecko my rates are high too especially since the council refurbished the wealthy beachfront shopping strip

in our area. I bought my unit nearly 30 years ago. It has increased in value by more than 5 times. And the houses are worth at least a million now.

I assume you know about the budget changes to trust taxation not sure if it affects your trust. I think maybe not.

I’m also not sure how much I’ll have to pay for out of pocket charges for eye surgery next week. According to the health fund when I rang them they said I might have to pay gap on anaesthetic, but no hospital excess. And i will have to pay for the eye drops as well. Well I will move some money around in case I have to pay gap for eye surgery.

I’ve decided that I’m going to go a conference at a uni in Sydney, haven't been to that one before. Will treat myself and fly. It will be great to catch up with people haven’t seen for ages. [edited by moderator]

Enjoy time at home @Meowmy . I’m relaxing with my oodie over my legs.

Oh wow a cruise @ENKELI . Something to really look forward to. Can I fit in your suitcase to translate for you in Barcelona ha ha.
