Other What currently makes your life awesome?

Keas, beaks like tin openers!
When I was in NZ living with the rellies, I had 2 run ins with them.
One was at the car park at the top of the Milford Sound tunnel,m where they were happily snapping off car aerials and pulling the windscreen rubber strips out.
The second was at Mount Cook youth hostel, where a couple came in overnight when a Kea bit its way into their tent and took a large chunk out of the sole on the lady's walking shoes.
IIRC they have red/orange feathers under their wings. Awesome destroyers.

Possums, forgot about them. My cousins used to shoot them on sight on the farm. I was upset the first time until I was put straight about them.
Pig hunting out in the bush was pretty hard core too, big black & hairy hogs with vicious tusks.
Where'd that 30 years go? /old bugger

 

...i now have this stuck in my head again.

 

I just got home from a fun vacation with my cousins. I can't wait for my next break, time to go back to work tomorrow with a bit of motivation.

 

Tax office. Always helpful, far more than i ever expect.

 

Depression slowly creeping in. I've been in bed for most of the time over the past three days (I knew it was coming). Not complaining, I did manage to buff out my frame and get it finished.



It just goes crazy in the light. The more light the more transparent, to the point you can see the silver base coat.









I've got all of the parts too, so as soon as I am done in the loft I can get to building it (when I feel like it).

 

@The_Crapman where abouts in Russia are you mate?

 

@The_Crapman ... don't drink the tea

 

Oh I hope you're uploading on wifi, Russia ain't in the roaming zone. Was 50p just for a text.

 

Cool, was there briefly just over a month ago.

V pretty place, great to see from the water.

 

Navel base? Lots of belly buttons?

 

Ooh not sure on that on mate - our guide was too busy telling us the origin of a Russian drinking mannerism based on the tattoo given to the guy who built it as we sailed past the Aurora.

British guns on that it turns out.

 

Soz to all after PES, but my boy got Detroit: Become Human for free on PS Plus this month as opposed to a soccer game originally slated for this month.

 

I can't put random comments in the For Sale thread so it's going here.

@Gareth Halfacree:

Ah c'mon!!!!

 

Getting fit again. It took me two weeks to strip about 2" off my waist, and I'm still going strong with the diet & exercise plan. I have no delusions of getting Yuge again, but it's nice to be strong and considerably less podgy.

At my worst about three years ago I had a 43" waist; it's currently around 37" and continuing to shrink.
