I'm going to that funeral on Friday. I'll be breaking the journey so I don't exceed 400 km in any one day. So it's going to be 350 km on Thursday, 400 km on Friday and 350 again on Saturday. I'm staying overnight Thursday & Friday in a reasonably cheap but really cosy motel in Mum's home town. If she's fit enough to come with me, she'll stay with her sister on the western side of that inland city.
Because of its proximity to the snowfields, today was the last chance to book a motel room for those two nights. Mum's sister has only one spare bed.
An Alaskan was on trial in Anchorage. The prosecutor leaned menacingly toward him and asked, "Where were you on the night of October to February?"
A friend has just had a hen house built for his four chooks. Another friend has made a sign for it.
In 1999, at his mother 's funeral, one of cousin Colin's two sons got our backs up somewhat when he started preaching at us, while it was heartfelt, most thought it unnecessary.
He's now a pastor somewhere in Gateshead in the UK.
Just had a call from cousin Colin His wife Wendy died overnight from a heart attack. The funeral is on Friday in Wagga Wagga. That's over 500 km away. Mum feels someone should go but it's really hard on her back to go for more than a few hours per day. We'd have to overnight somewhere on Thursday night and Friday on the trip back. Mum has two sisters on the way, one is 340 km away, the other is over 400 and a bit out of the way. It's awkward, the nearer sister has only one spare bed & the other sister looks after her husband who's had a few strokes lately. They're all in their mid-to-early 80s.
The obedient husband: Can I help you prepare dinner?
Wife: Take this bag of potatoes and peel half of the then put them in a pot of water.
Obedient husband: I can do that.
I've been having problems with two ADN image storage view apps, Filebase and Orbit. Filebase crashes & Orbit is waaaaayyy slow.
I tried using Fluid app on the Mac to create a Site Specific Browsre for files-app.net but Fluid doesn't cope well with the modern Mac environment, being based on an elderly version of Web-Kit. So I used Epichrome app instead. It uses the Chrome browser in much the same manner as Fluid uses Safari, except passwords stick in the generated SSB.
