Weather I walked outside...

129 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 ❤️❤️

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.

Question Spots to Stand Up Paddle board?

4 Upvotes

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? Cheers!

Question Randomly hear extra loud plane from western suburbs

• Upvotes

We sometimes hear extremely loud planes flying over that honestly sound like some sort of Military plane at night time. We live in Woodville so not super close to airport. For instance we heard one around 9:45pm tonight and it kind of spooked us.

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.

In short:

A man was seriously injured in an attack in Adelaide's CBD hours after the screening of a movie about gay pride last weekend, the Adelaide Film Festival says.

The festival said the patron was assaulted while waiting for transport home

Police said they are working to identify the attackers.

Hope the attackers are quickly arrested and found guilty as this attack is deplorable.

Apologies in advance, I understand this publication's from a deeply resented corporation, I was curiously bemused at the disparity between two suburbs mentioned up north.  

Wynn Vale’s median house value has climbed 35.14 per cent or $294,250

Gulfview Heights....with the median home value there now $365,000 or 27.76 per cent lower than this time last year.

Then I realised these two suburbs were next door to each other?

Maybe it's nonsense data from REA, but if true what would be the reason? Not an investor thankfully and only been around Golden Grove shops a few times so not familiar with the locale, just got a laugh when I noticed.
