In NZ .
one winter our off-peak " water " & " night- store " heating , was turned off every night
When everything in the house froze solid .
I had to buy " kerosene heaters " two , so you light the next one, before the first runs out of fuel. No burnt fingers. And a 'bottle gas ' cooker for cooking & boiling the kettle .
I will never go single fuel . Again .
Two cars : petrol & diesel.

Yes !.
All natural . So why Duplicate, by chemical concoctions.
Artificial sweeteners, that become poisonous when heated.
Medication, by compulsion! . Fluoridation .
Then they wanted to put something into all bread for pregnant
women . ? Foalate .
( I lost this thread & had to wait for the next post ) .

Yes , those spaces were larger to get the ' wheelchair ' off the roof of the car & sit in it , before closing the door .
Now those 'disabled ' spaces are not near the entrance .
The ' mums with prams ' have that privileged spot .

BUT
Hasn't that been tried & tested . Found wanting ! .
Leyland P76.
Boot big enough to carry a 200 ltrs drum . had to be V8 .
And other Australian innovations.
Worth a fortune now . An American speedboat racer , bought All the motors & spares from NZ.

Sugar ,
It is a natural plant product .
Lets start taxing those ' artificial ' food products.
How is the chemical meat produce going . ( None animal meat ).
It used to be in one aisle only , but it's moved ( to were ! I don't know ) .

I'll also gripe about parking spots.
Why should " mothers with prams " take Precedence over " disabled " parking.
They have wheels for the kids . ( prams ).

KGARI
the Island of Mrs Fraser's infamy.
I can't pronounce that , at all .
Drop the K or the G , & it is pronounceable.
Was the kgari a persons name , or an object.

I fell over crossing the road .
tripped on a ledge of the pothole, & flew , full length.
Only broke the one arm , in three places .
Still trying to get some strength back ! So now lifting 2kg ,
With that arm .
The new hip is fine '15 jumping jacks ' , 82 push-ups. & 10 knees bend / squats. Then a little jog to get the ticker going .

I didn't know there was a age limit on ladder use.
But I think , I should not go off the ladder onto the roof .
It's only that little bit of juggling,
transferring from ladder to roof . were I feel unsafe .

I've been up the ' ladder ' cleaning my gutters all last week & again yesterday. The neighbours tree overhangs my garage.
But I still have to do , the opposite neighbours gutters,
Were my tree overhangs his garage.

But
Calling is useless for the hearing impaired .
SMS
Made for the heavy industry worker .
I'm not deaf just lost a few frequencies.
I hear lots of noise , but ,no birds or cicadas or my cat meowing.
Silence is golden , so the song goes .
