Look at this area down the road less than 1 Km from me. One what appears to be not much more than 6 houseblocks, compared to the two on the left, they have just buily 16 dwellings. More like town houses than homes, but it's squeezing more in. And get the name- Serenity Court - fat chance. And then there the squeezing of two or three residences onto one large building block Slums of the future?

Some ironic photos.

I don't know about the Martian children, but he says he wants to father 5,000 children. 5 million, 50 mliion, 500 million - it's not going to affect me. Even 50 years won't affect me.Maybe 5 years might.

It has been confirmed that Bandt has lost his seat. And Zoe Daniel, TEALs, in Goldstein danced too early. She lost to Tim Wilson, Liberal. He held the seat from 2018 to 2021 when he lost it to Daniel, but won it back on postal votes.

No-one guessed the answer to this 1% question, so the 100,000 pounds went uncollected. 30 seconds to work it out.

On top of his other distractions with DOGE and Tesla, Elon is desparate to get to Mars and start developing civilisation on that planet. He says it is essential to provide a lifeline for humanity. He says we need a self sustaining civilisation on Mars which can operate without supply ships from Earth. NASA says the Sun is running out of fuel and it will start to expand to be a red star. This will involve consuming Mercury, Venus and Earth. This process is expected to start in 5 million years. He is building a city called Starbase at his Texas launch site to house the staff from his factories and facilities.

I have to register a historical change. I received my home insurance renewal advice today. The annual premium actually dropped by $18.45. Whoo Hoo.

In the old west, cowboys attached lanterns to their saddles to help find their way home at night. It was an early example of saddle light navigation.

Eight houses in my area have been pulled down and rebuilf as two storey homes. It looks like all new built homes have to be two storey buildings. This is the most recent demolished house in our street.

Meaning behind little-known roadside marker popping up 'a lot' on Aussie roads For travellers exploring the country, it’s not unusual to come across a road sign or marking that is unfamiliar, especially as different states tend to have their own versions. For one Aussie explorer, it was a roadside marker in Western Australia that left them scratching their head. Details, photos here.

I bought my four bedroom house in Vermont at the end of 1978 for $58,000, and used my long service leave money to pay it off when I left the bank in 1992. The median price in my neighbourhood at the moment is $1.2 million.

Two youmg priests were taking a holiday at the beach. They bought shorts, colourful shirts and sandals to look as far from a priest as possible. They were sitting on their beach chairs when this drop dead gorgeous topless blond walked past in a string bikini. "Good morning, Father, good morning Father", she said as she walked past. The preists couldn't believe it. They went and bought even more outlandish outfits. The next morning the same young lady came by, with the same greeting. One of the priests said, "Pardon me miss, but how did you know we were priests?" "Easy," she replied. "I'm sister Mary."

Goimg back to the early posts on April 1, I said I wouldn't have use for it. I haven't had a meal at a restauramt or hotel in at least 5 years, and since my wife passed away, I doubt I will again. I only drink water based drinks, and haven't had a drop of alcohol for over 7 years. I was never a drinker, and have probably had a total of 3 cans of beer in my 80 years. I haven't had a softdrink in 3 or 4 years. I have a Woolies Everyday Rewards Card, which accrues points and get me a 4c per litre deduction on petrol. I get an email each week listing points boosters on items we frequently buy. For example, we can get 180 points by buying a box of 24 party sauage rolls, which we occasionally have for lunch. At 1 point per $2, that one purchase equates to a $90 spend. I currently have $80 of Woolies money, which I can use to pay for my grocery shop. You just have to click the Boost button on the email. In addition to the fuel reductiion with the Woolies card, my RACV road service membership gives me a deduction on petrol at E.G. Service stations. Fill the tank, scan the Woolies and RACV cards when paying, and have the deductions applied. And usually, E.G. servos have some of the lowest prices around. I also have a Coles Fly Buys card which my wife had, and transferred to me when she died. You can earn Fly Buys points on petrol and other purchases at Shell servos, Bunnings and Office Works as well as Coles supermarkets. My daughter often buys groceries at Coles and uses the Fly Buys money.
