i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

Moon looks just like always at the moment, just went out there a little while ago. Supposed to be really big approx midnight. Nice at the beach though. Clock in loungeroom says 9.50 and has said that all day, lol. Better change batteries. @TAB
So, are you doing night shift tomorrow night TAB?
Hi @Shaz51 That's awful that you're still not feeling well. Hugs to you. I've been home all day, went out briefly this evening to see the "Super moon"' , I've been "Super tired" lately.

Yes, that would have been very stressful @TAB, seeing people from the past. You conquered it though.
I often wish we had stairs so I could run up and down them. It's a quick way to get fit. I used to do that at the beach.
Hi @BlueBells How have you been?
I'm going to get ready for bed soon @Shaz51
Have you been getting storms up your way Shaz? We have had a couple of really bad ones. Drove through one yesterday. Did alot of damage in one of the caravan parks here. No rain today though.

Oh, good that you are used to staying up all night then @TAB, lol.
I haven't done shift work for many years. Used to work in a childrens home years ago, with the department of childrens services. That was an eye opener. I often wonder what happened to the kids I used to look after.
