Yeah, the guy got out alright, with a bit of a bump on his noggin. Poor quality video is due to it being heavily cropped so you could actually see the ute in the clip. One of his paint rollers was left hanging about 4M up in the tree.

Hmm,
I'm Grateful that I've learnt to grow as a person, I've been able to move on, I've been able to help others.
This has been a change over about 5 years, baby steps.
I am not the same person I was 5 years ago, to judge me on who I was then, you'd be a bigger fool than what I was then.
We are not always right.

Today our daughter has made one flight and now starting her second flight to come home
Tomorrow our daughter will land in Sydney to start her Quarantine, we haven't seen her in 5 yrs.

She flew in from San Francisco overnight on a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner (twin-jet) (B789) which seats 290 passengers.   On her flight there was a whole 22 passengers, 18 in cattle class and 4 up the front.   After 5 years in the States she said it was strange to hear other Australians.   Now settled into Novatel Sydney for a fortnight.

This pretty well sums it up.

You came naked,
You will go naked.
You arrived weak,
You will leave weak.
You came without money and things,
You will leave even without money and things.
Your first bath? Someone washed you,
Your last bath? Someone will wash you.

This is life!!!

So why so much malice, so much envy, so much hate, so much resentment and so much selfishness?

BE KIND to everyone and do good deeds.

We have limited time on Earth don’t waste it in uselessness.

She says for good but who knows.   The door to that chapter of her life as closed but who knows where to from here.   

Not that we were counting but she told us it's been 5 yrs, 3 mths and 18 days.   Just a few happy tears

Have haven't swung by here for awhile.
It's not that I haven't been Grateful, I've just been refocusing, reassessing and resetting what is important to me, My best mate/wife, partner in crime for life, our family & friends.

Middle child, Angel Face devil child(yes the one that went off driving us worried stupid) dropped in on her way home from spending the last couple of days camping.
She bought herself a 2002 2.4 diesel toyota hiace about 4 months ago.
Bat wing awning, dual battery, solar panel, 40lt fridge, decked out to travel.
She's saving up to travel with her girlfriend.
Just as she left, she gave me a big cuddle and thanked me for all we do for her.
A proud dad moment, ;)

I have to share this.
Sure times have changed & each generation is different to the next.
And the generation before me can look back and think the same.
I'm Grateful for many things, but this sums up a lot.

'WE ARE A GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK'
A generation that went to school and walked back.
A generation that did their homework alone to get out asap to play in the street.
A generation that spent all their free time on the street.
A generation that played hide and seek when dark.
A generation that made mud cakes.
A generation that collected sports cards.
A generation that found, washed and sold empty coke bottles to the local grocery store for 5 cents each.
A generation that made paper toys with their bare hands.
A generation who bought vinyl albums to play on record players.
A generation that collected photos and albums of clippings.
A generation that played board games and cards on rainy days.
A generation whose TV went off at midnight after playing the National Anthem.
A generation that had parents who were there.
A generation that laughed under the covers in bed so parents didn't know we were still awake.
A generation that is passing and unfortunately will never return!!...

Take care Swaggers,

I am very grateful today that over 100 keen golfers turned out for the 2021 Variety charity golf day held at Maclean golf club.

An awesome day with some great people.

Thank you to all who showed support for the kids.  :cup: :cup:
