Just picked up my first ever pair of reading glasses. Welcome to middle age apparently.

I remember going to my Dr saying there's something wrong with my eyes, the letters on the newspaper a blurry. She said "you need glasses", I said, "no, there's something wrong with my eyes" "Yes, you need glasses!" Penny dropped.

My dearest booked herself a seven week US holiday with one of the KGB girlfriends.
Assumed that she didn’t need a visa for the US, travelling on an Aussie passport (not Russian)!!! ![]() Moreover, this problem was not identified until just over two hours prior to departure. I’d dropped her off at the terminal and was 35km away… Already had a migraine from heat, exertion - stress didn’t help it ease. Literally about 50 minutes before take-off, the expedited application was greenlit (airline check-in counter helped as best they could, but weren’t going to board her in case it got declined at the other end). What a circus. |

You’ve needed ESTA’s for as long as I can recall landing in the USA CB.
The agent or booking office should have advised this in the first place. Easiest visa to get online. Yep it gets approved pretty quick. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, I don’t know what she was thinking!
![]() Can laugh about it a little now. Last night when I was looking down the barrel of seven weeks’ relative calm torpedoed just like that - it wasn’t so funny. |

I thought our 2 governments just signed some agreement 2 weeks ago that didn't need us to get visas or something to make travel easier.
7 weeks of batching it, nice.

I got to try out the just-opened “Airport Link” pieces of road. After hours, they feel slow and empty; the limit is 60 but could easily go ten or twenty up.

They do that with the new tunnels to get people used to the change. They then reassess like they did for the main tunnels |

Man oh man. My kid texts me this arvo asking do i want to know his story of the day? I replied sure.
Well, not a good one. A kid at his school nicked a phone of another kid, (i did not tell my kid i know how to do this) did a factory reset and got busted trying to sell said stolen phone. Theif only copped a 3 day suspension. Rightful kid owner lost all their saved funny cat memes. So im preassuring my kid into backing his phone up. Not to his school laptop but his gaming tower. He lives in the housos of south windsor. Theft is quite a thing there. |

I spent the whole day in the yard weeding and mowing. I thought I would treat myself to a spa bath.
I filled it up and water was dirty as so no way I was going to dip in that but couldn't get the jets going. I loosed up the pipe to pump the air out but no good except water in the garage. What I eventually figured out it won't start with the heater on but the problem is it defaults to that so got to be quick to turn it off and she fires up. But the plumping is leaking and I'm like **** this and just had a shower. Geez I hate that! I think I need someone out to take a look at it and probably a new pump but $$$ so can go on the backlog. I have more important shit I have to sort out before that ![]() |
