Crikey ! What the......

Squally wet weather today....so no game. Squall....ever wonder about some words how they seem to fit just right ? I looked it up...yep the description matches the sound perfectly.
Took a run to Morayfield's big hardware store named Bunnings....if you can't find it there....good luck.
We only have a small area under grass out front ..... the guy that takes care of it doesn't do it often enough for our liking, so we need a small electric mower to get the job done when we feel it needs doing (weekly at this time of year)....Bunnings sold over three hundred during the Christmas week.....(not my idea of a Christmas present!!!)....so altho they do have the one we want in stock, they can't use the high pickers while the store is open. Back we go tomorrow. While we were out, we stopped at "The Good Guys" ( huge electrical store) to buy a HD set top box for our 42" Panasonic Plasma T.V. that lost it's picture a couple of weeks ago. Bought a 22" to use in the living room till we get the other one back. Hopefully next week ! The small one has all the up to date stuff and will go on Perry's bedroom wall. You can set it to turn on or off when you want it to. Good for him, as he probably wont last thru a whole program. I read....if you didn't already know!!......anyway.....we seem to have a steady flow of media stuff that becomes outdated after a short time. You don't feel like sending these things to the dump....but no one wants them. I remember getting a steam iron for my nineteenth birthday.....it was admired and used by my sister and my mother, who incidentally bought it for me....(quite a bright woman my mum !) I think it lasted about ten years....and the one I have now really doesn't do anything much different, but you have to remember to push various buttons in order to get it to do what the old ones did without any prompting. One thing I like about this one is the fact that if you haven't used it for several minutes, it turns itself off! Not a big leap in all those years!
Boring blog, but I thought I would share this amazing picture with you......so of course after I posted it I had to add something. Sorry about that.
