I try to get along with everyone
I have two people saving my life at the moment. My older brother, and my “sister” who I met at flying school 42 years ago.

I love them both, obviously

Come on Foxtel. I’m trying to subscribe, but I keep getting a “bad request” notice. Otherwise it just hangs.

I will phone them tomorrow during office hours

Apparently now that I have reached a certain age I need to poo on a stick and send it back through the mail system.

I guess it’s better than getting bowel cancer.

Also, it’s free.

Just to explain to my many US-based friends. “Free” means one gets preventive medical treatments for no cost xx

A new day is dawning in Australia. I previously thought “Oh, bother, that’s another day I need to get through “. Now I look forward to interacting with old friends, albeit online. But occasionally in person. My friends are far and wide

A couple of weeks ago I spent time with an old friend and her perfect husband. She and I met at pilot training school. She got her commercial pilot’s license and training endorsement.

I said bugger this because I had a Computer Science degree. While I worked in IT I got my Private Pilot’s license

If this becomes political then I will quit it the way I did with X

I have said this before, but I don’t want Bluesky to reflect my political opinions

Wow, it looks like a fantastic conclusion to the NSW and WA women’s one day cricket match.

Such a shame that Fox decided to cut away from it. I’m 62 years old and a male. I can still embrace new sports, even though I sucked at them. Our women are such mentors for future generations of women

My elder daughter will graduate from university later this month. Not my uni and not my subject, but I cannot describe how happy and proud I am. I will internally cheer when I watch her receive her scroll

Today I was watching a NSW vs WA women’s cricket one day match. There were 5 overs to go and it was a very exciting and close match.

Suddenly without notice advertisements appeared. Then a men’s match started. With its first boring few overs.

Not good enough Fox Clicket

I am trying to login to X, just to redirect my friends to here. Frustratingly, I keep failing. I took the option to contact X support, but that also failed

I will never post anything political on Bluesky. I want this to be a haven from the horrors of everyday life. I have retired and have about a dozen people who love me, and I love them back. That’s enough xxx

I have absolutely no affiliation with this app, but what3words has definitely saved lives.

We should all be using it. It separates the world into 3 x 3 metre sections, each uniquely defined by a 3-word identifier
