:lol: There was a B2 visiting Amberley a couple of years back and it made an awful racket buzzing around here. They probably heard it in Lydd !

Progress has been slow lately, with not a lot of clear nights. I moved the scope down onto the driveway, which helped a lot with the image sharpness, but the first time I installed the EQ wedge I just couldn't get the thing to align. Alignment depends on the mount pointing to the celestial south, so the scope points due north. Turns out I just can't get my head around the direction of North. Part of my autism makes it very difficult to translate directions from a map, and it still doesn't make sense to me that when I look straight across the valley here, I'm looking due north. But by ignoring...

All right. The hint has arrived. I'll only post things that won't embarrass anyone, especially forum owners. I've just been here too long for that... since 2007.

Sorry for the delay CP. Its actually a full on tertiary training course for trained people working in the clinical massage field. The venue is St Andrews village retirement complex (they must have a venue for hire), in Glendowie , or close by.

Same with me, SP. There is something unique about ANZAC Day. A day of remembrance for those who serve, have served and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we have. Never, ever forget those who didn't come back and the number that are still listed as Missing In Action. I remember seeing one white cross outside the Auckland War Memorial...only three words on it..Known unto God. One of hundreds of thousands known unto God. Lest we forget >nzflag<

At least with a microwave, you've always got something to watch if there's nothing on the tumble drier or the TV :D Watching stuff... I always find it very relaxing to watch the water boiling in my new 2 kw Electric Kettle! Much faster than the water in the saucepan for my Potatoes! ...and as for Paint Drying... :o ... :unsure: ...! I've never got around to buying the new-fangled, snazzy "Air Fryer"... ..I'm still a happy bunny with my trusty Gas Stove (4 Gas Burners + Gas Grill), and Gas Oven for all my daily Cooking needs! It's amazing how many choices there are on Amazon...

Emfrat, that is indeed true. The "younger generation" don't do anything for me at all. The 'in crowd' are much better to be with because of the age thing.

Yeah, Square Home comes with some lookalike Windows phone widgets, but these are not that reliable, so I tend not to use them. And of course all the apps are Android. Yes, I know it's an Android phone at heart, it just looks so much better though.

Thanks CP and Charl . Hobby, back in the day had the best Airman's mess...great food, a great club (bar) Many a messy night spent there with the resident RNZN team. Charl, you are right , of course...progress vs emotion is a recipe for trouble. And the SNCO's and Warrant Officers Mess was even better! Great garden bar by the water. Had many a messy night there :cheers: :D

I find one year pretty much like another, or perhaps not. And certainly not particularly different at the end of any given December or the beginning of any January. But let me share this with you: the strange beauty of the number attached to this year.

Ok, resolutions then... I can't help thinking that it might be time to stop worrying and start enjoying life. I had decided to spend my life pretty much on my own after my son and grandkids moved to Australia a few years ago. Now here I am, living with my other son and daughter-in-law, their little boy and another on the way. My daughter (? -- I still call her that, although she officially changed her name to Theo last year -- luckily her pronouns are 'she' and 'they' so it was an easy transition) and her partner live in a tiny house on the driveway. I had hoped to take a break when my...
