The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

Here in the Netherlands,  that didn't get any coverage. 

The only news we got about Australia last week was the votes regarding same sex marriage.

Hope your house gets fixed soon

Hearing you guys are copping it. Very sorry to hear of the damage to your home.
Pleased to hear you and your dearest are ok. Thinking of you.  Kia kaha Greg.
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

So saddened to read this Greg. That's a hell of a blow to take at this time of year especially and at this time of your life.
Hope help arrives soonest for you n yours.
Glad you're uninjured, a small blessing, but at times like this we have to count the small ones, as there aren't too many big ones.

That's really bad news Grog, especially at this time of year.  Glad you and your family (and bike) are all okay and hope you get it sorted soon.
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

Today was life changing. My mate was here in an hour, left his generator, tonite we had tv, a light and fridge. My wife was front story on abc news. Superstar, she is brilliant.i hope all wives are as good. Tree all cut down, amazing job. They cleaned ip debris, cant believe how good. People calling into help, young blokes who insidted they must help. Tv crews, radio people. What a day. My faith in humanity restored. Could be a long haul to fix but quite liveable if power can be restored. That could be quite a few days.

That's excellent news grog. Its amazing when things like this happen how everyone pulls together. I'm assuming then that the house can be repaired and you can continue to live there whilst work is on-going. If so, that's brilliant!
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

Hi Grog,

It's good that you and the wife are OK, everything else can be fixed.
