    First snow of the season

    Its heading into summer down here. Hot and humid with the chance of storms today. Our 10 year drought shows signs of ending so we are thankful for the rain. I'm not sure how much hardship snowfall creates, but I have been fortunate enough to experience a white Christmas once, and will cherish...

    Hip flasks.

    Consider the small plastic 375ml Smirnoff bottle. Empty the contents (responsibly, hic) and replace with water. It will get some reaction when you drink from it, but you writers....

    Unpopular movie opinions...

    Stick to your guns and give it a few years. Your daughters friends will ultimately admire her for her strength of character. If not, they are not worth it. First hand experience.

    Hip flasks.

    S, All in good fun. I have always considered a nip outdoors on a bracingly cold day to be one of life's sweet moments. If you do use a flask for water, you won't be able to offer or share. Just sayin'.... There may be some other options for you to carry water. Nothing wrong with...

    Hip flasks.

    Good Grief! Ok, now that I have that out of my system, the more recent stainless units tend to be a bit stiffer and sturdier than older style pewter units. Also, they often have a captive cap which can be a pain if lost. Don't ask. Pewter ages well, but for the stuff the gold fish swim in...

    Do you say Goodbye on the 'phone?

    I'll start adopting movie telephone manners when I can get car parking spots like they do in the movies.

    What are you listening to?

    In the sandwich shop yesterday they were playing a remix of Ray Charles 1955 hit 'I Got a Woman'. I was wondering what they were playing over the din until I recognised one of the verses of the song being repeated over and over, and over, and over. Talk about turning something cool into...

    The Antipodean thread

    Enough time to take in some sights. Try and take in a ferry ride around Sydney Harbour while you are there. Lolly is right, NYE on the harbour is pretty cool.

    Sketch of my grandfather made in 1945.

    That is indeed a great family treasure. I think everyone should have pics of themselves in their prime. When we get old, we can say 'look who's still inside'.

    1946 Packard Clipper Super curbside blog find

    Sounds like the car was at the centre of some form of dispute judging by the behaviour towards the photographer. Leaving it in the street was not the wisest place for it. Pity about the paint splash. It shouldn't matter if the car is going to be restored, but preserving this car might have...
