Title: Just passing by...
Post by: Bricktop on May 06, 2020, 08:49:18 PM
Thought I'd pop in and say hello?



What's been happening? Anything interesting in these dark and crazy days?

You moved to a new place after the wildfires? Do any photography?

Post by: Bricktop on May 06, 2020, 09:09:55 PM
The fires were close, but not that close.



My photography motivation has been a little jaded of late. I'd hoped to get some shots while on our scheduled overseas jaunt later this month.



That ain't happening.



We did have an airshow late last year and I got a few good ones there.

I still have the same job, everything is kinda the same on my end.  I've taken up some hobbies I meant to get around to.  



I'm not very social because I'm tired of listening to everyone whine about everything.  There is only a selected few people in my life I will actually see and spend time with.



I changed my living room around and some other things in the house...now I'm going to fix up my balcony and hang out there all summer in peace, away from all the crying bitches.  I don't want to hear about fuckin shit anymore...I just want peace.

Thank you, ma'am.



I did say I would drop by from time to time.



We are relatively unscathed here in South Australia, and so we've not suffered the same impositions as other States or countries. No lock downs. No restrictions. Everyone is being sensible and reasonable under the circumstances.



Of course, our holiday to the UK was postponed. We will have to wait until next year now.



We also have a new addition to the tribe...a new grandson. Life does go on. That's 5 now!!!

Cheers, Uke!!!



I hate to nag, but that barrel of wash you promised still hasn't arrived.



Climate alarmists here are now saying we shouldn't go back to the old normal now that the air is clearer and the grass is greener, or whatever.



And of course, the virus is the planet's way of warning us to change our ways!!!



Retards.

Very Nice.



I saw some neat air stuff earlier today on TV over London for 75th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe, otherwise known as Victory in Europe (VE) Day



The Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, fly over London

Speaking of VE Day, I've forgotten where I snagged this photo but it was five or six years ago that I posted it on FB on that anniversary.  Clearly it's a manipulated image, with components that are separated by many decades.  But even though I've never understood paratroopers, I do respect them in some respects.

Hi Brick



Good to see you. Wondered what would happen to your trip this year. Hope your trip next year goes without a hitch.  Hubby and I are still planning to go to the northeast, Scotland and, if we have time, a hop over to Ireland too, next summer.  Looking forward to it.
