THAT TERMITE NEST IS THE STUFF IF NIGHTMARES ?
Nah! Unlike most creatures in Australia, they’re harmless.

That is the real difference between New Zealand and Australia ... In New Zealand pretty much everything is harmless. In Australia everything wants to kill you. ?

LOL! Had to laugh out loud at the microwave comment. You're right, of course. It was about 30 years old, maybe older, and still worked perfectly fine, however, when my daughter had to come here to help me with during my infirmity (?) she worried that such an old microwave might be leaking out harmful rays, so she bought me a new one for Christmas. And yes, it took three strong men to move the old one outta' there!!
Dang weaklings...?

Isn't that the QM2 in your harbour pics?
I used to sing it too. ?

I've looked and looked for this post. I fell in love with the grebe couple. Well... I received my favorite magazine today. There was a picture in it I thought you might enjoy.IMG_20210309_155926243.jpg

We had that storm yesterday, high winds and pouring rain. Wind has always scared me. In my big truck I was always afraid of being blown over. Now that I'm older, I am still afraid of wind, as I don't want a house to land on me...
There's a highway in Colorado between Boulder & Golden with several canyons to the West of the highway famous for winds toppling trucks because the wind picks up volume roaring down the canyons. For some strange reason, on the east side of the highway is where the feds decided to erect the national wind energy testing site for wind turbines back in the early 80s. It's still there, BTW.

But I think the worst winds I"ve ever encountered are at Lake Powell on the Utah end of the lake. On a houseboat, ski boat or in your camper on dry land, there are some wild winds that blow for HOURS. Nothing stays tied down.
