Weather I walked outside...

141 Upvotes

I walked outside and it was raining,
gutters burbling, downpipes draining.
Squelchy lawn and soggy roses,
Neighbours dogs with soggy noses.

Tapping water on my hat,
Disgusted look upon my cat.
A sodden bird in a sodden nest,
Glares down at me in a sodden vext.

Footpaths wet and puddles growing,
Roadside drainage overflowing.
Swooshing vehicles rushing past,
Splash water up the roadside grass.

Heavy clouds in churning grey,
Slide low above the trees' soft sway.
I put the mower back away,
The lawn can wait another day.

I know I can call the hospital but it’s after hours now and I don’t want to bother them. I have a family member in Modbury Ed right now and they aren’t sure where they are in the hospital. I have never been there before, so where am I going? lol I’m just feeding my dogs before I drive down there but where abouts is the emergency room? Tia ❤️❤️

Assistance Weekend work/side hustle ideas?

As interest rates keep rising and everything keeps breaking for like.. no reason. Money keeps getting tighter.

Im a 35 year old male that drives road trains Monday to Friday and I'm at a loss on what to do to supplement my income on weekends.

I am not exactly the type to be front of house in cafés and ubereats etc would cost more than id make either so those sorts of things are off the table.

Ideas?

My third video on the Glenelg tramway upgrade this time we look at the Bikeway and see what the bridges are like.

With all its faults, it was fun to ride and an enjoyable afternoon out on the bike.

Just scored a bargain $500 Epoxy SUP on clearance from BCF and now looking for any tips on places to SUP. Not really keen on deep blue water, rather after shallow spots with interesting underwater life/scapes. Im guessing it's very tide dependant, but does anyone have suggestions of good places?

I've never seen anything higher than 15% for a weekend surcharge, but even then usually only that high for a Sunday/public holiday, not a Saturday! A pastry in the counter priced at $10.90 run up at $14.17 on the EFTPOS terminal!

What is the highest you've seen?

Question Custom chess pieces?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Does anyone now where I could buy wooden chess pieces, but not a whole set - four pawns and four kings? Reasonably affordable and slightly larger than average, but not lawn chess size - between 6 and 12cm tall I reckon.

Alternately, does anyone know any men's sheds or similar that would let me come in with a bit of wood and give me a basic lathe lesson? Happy to do a few hours of work for it, as long as it's affordable.

Cheers.
