I like refurbished steam trains. Apparently a double-header hauled by two R-Class locos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VictorianRailwaysR_class?wprov=sfsi1 went through to a rural city 100 km east of here this morning. I missed it completely, but it still has to get back to its base tonight.
Plus, the same train will make its second annual run on the same route in 7 days. Looking forward to it.
@matigo Reminds me of a song from a certain Australian adult-oriented entertainer. It starts with "Woke up in the mornin' with a headache and a horn. But I couldn't piss the headache away…."
@kdfrawg Then there's cheap bastards like me who don't drink it cos it's too expensive, opting instead for a different brew, also of Irish origin, which I feel too be a tad "smoother" than Bailey's. It's almost the same, cheaper cos it lacks the hype. http://www.feeneysirishcream.com/

I managed to get Mum's pre-op hospital visit forms done online, with a bit of help from my sister, who holds enduring medical power-of-attorney for Mum & is listed as her next-of-kin. I used the Lumia 1520 to supply the internet signal & the 2008 MacBook Pro I keep at Mum's place. During the process I received a text message saying I'd used 30% of my annual data allowance, which means there's 29 GB remaining with 7 months remaining to use it.
Damaging winds were forevast for today. The emergency services warning app shows a tree down anout 500 m nothe of here. At least we've dot rid of nasty big trees from these residential units.
