Friday. The wind is blowing well, but the sky is clear, so the temperature is down to 5°C, the coldest it's been since last winter!

A 10 O'Clock meeting in Stroud today, Oh great joy. :-\ How long that will take I have no idea, but it won't be a 5 minuter event!

Have a happy day everyone.

G'day Boaty, seems like people don't like rising over there during winter.
Probably can't blame them.

A few ramble on at these meetings?
Try yawning a lot and checking your watch ;-)

Afternoon oz. Seems like some have learned the joy of sleep! Wish I could.

You have the situation spot on mate. Lovely people, but there are only two of us that have a clue how things have to be done. We are prepared to bang heads together if necessary! Between us we have worked out an agenda and business plan. We have to educate and motivate the rest. As I say, lovely people, but no idea how a charity should run. They will by the end of the meeting!

I hope so Boaty, but don't hold your breath "old mate".

You may find yourselves repeating.
Like a scratched record at every meeting.
Trying to get through
To those that do
Continually keep on bleating.

( Not quite DT'S standard ;-)

I have printed out enough copies of what my mate and I have worked out. The problem will be keeping them on the rails and not letting them side track. It could be don e in an hour, but I'll put money on it not being that quick. My mates wife is the only other one with any experience, so she will be of great help.

I like your effort at poetry mate! ;o}

So it's three against the hordes.
Stand firm, take no prisoners.
Keep the meeting on track, "other issues can be discussed later",,,,if they actually remember them ;-)

On a different note, the orange warning light is glowing once again in Mrs Ozzies car. I have thought of removing the bulb, covering with insulation tape or whacking it 'ard with a little 'ammer.

Back to Mudgee on Monday ;-(.

Youngest Oz is booked in for a driving test on Wednesday, would like the car to behave by then, driving tests have a 2 month waiting list where we live.

We'll do that right enough mate!

Would it help if you phoned the garage and asked them if it's something you can fix yourself without the long drive. It could be something as simple as a loose connection.

Good luck to youngest oz for Wednesday.

I'm fairly mechanical and electrical Boaty.
Worked in both trades over the years but Mrs Oz's car is way above me.
It has sensors and computors that even register me breaking wind!!!!!
I'll do oil changes, filter changes and lots of other basic stuff.
But I know when I'm out of my depth.

I'm sure Master Last will pass his test, the other three did after they put up with myself and Mrs Oz teaching them ;-)

...even if only to stop the nagging! ;o}

I taught ours to drive, all passed first time. They didn't want the consequences of failing! ;o}

I get your drift mate, touch the wrong wire and it's megabucks to get the onboard computers reset. That's the downside mate.
