I like how some people have gone for the shadows to get out of the sun

Not too many in the water though!

Bloody possum

Yep it's that time again, bloody thing starts scratching at 3am, it's in an open carport, so I can not close it out or stop it climbing up the 4x4 posts/timber cladding.
Time to set the trap again.
And, And a pair of bloody Plovers have diecided our front lawn is a great place nest.
Grrrr,
The serenity of country living

They are probably Scottish.

Funny that. 30 minutes is a long as you would last at this time of year. You'd lose the use of your limbs after 5!

Several years ago, on the Southern end of Spain/Portugal area,  my wife and I were sunbaking on a beach, in a mid 30s temperature. I said to my wife that I was going to jump in the ocean for a cool off.
I proceeded to run down the beach, as you do, and dived into the water.
Well, I almost immediately suffered from headache, earache and 'nads ache! I shot up, out of the water, like a Seaworld dolphin at feeding, screaming to the missus for a towel.
Some of the locals on the beach were pointing at me and shaking their heads but, most were pointing and laughing, including my dear wife.

Fitting a new alternator to the ol girls car this morning when it comes light.

You should see, what is involved in changing one of these.
Late/ish model cars, just do my head in.

Based on what i've seen, this will be a 2 to 3 hour job..... i hope i'm wrong.

That’s without you hitting your head on the bonnet, smacking your knuckles when the spinner slips or accidentally sharting yourself straining to undo a tight bolt!

Fukkin dumb arse rookie mistake today.... all i had to do, was pull the wiring plug on the alternator and as i did, i ever so gently bumped the radiator with it. Instant fukkin leak.
So ****in dirty on myself, i always slip a bit of cardboard in there to protect for that sort of thing.
Just a 61 year old dumb arse rookie today. 
Dumb arse dumb arse dumb arse..... and, i won't see the new rad until tomorrow afternoon.

My only saving grace, was a few weeks back in traffic, the temp fluctuated a couple of times.
Not much, but still did it.
When i was doing the stoopid alternator, i was thinking.......

What's the bet, with brand new coolant, the bloody radiator leaks and i have to change it in a couple of weeks. 

Terrific, managed to solve my own problem.

You may have accidentally saved yourself a lot of grief a little down the track.
