I am. I always wear my hat no matter how sunny it is. My son wore shorts the last couple of days.

Happy Monday, everyone!  

Heading out soon to get the car retested, after it failed its NCT (National Car Test) a few weeks back. They'll only be testing what it failed on, a ball joint on the front suspension, which has been replaced. So it will pass, and I'll be legal again for twelve months.

Aloha All

Hello young Albert

[Bucket1]

News from Australia...

Our Federal Minister for Health is in hospital with a skin infection

The Premier of Victoria tripped and broke ribs and vertebrae and is in hospital

Thats all ok, a little boring for you lot... maybe subeditors in newspapers need to read their headlines... capitals and punctuation are important...

 

Premier moved to trauma ward, fed Health minister in hospital

 

Hospital food is bad but seriously?????

Morning, Albert.    I just watched the new Nature of Things episode about a walrus in captivity... it was so sad....

  Hey, Mister B.  

How’s life in Canadia? Still bluefish cold I bet 

I could send some heat your way. Low to mid 30s for the rest of the week and 36C on Saturday

I can tough it out, thanks. It's supposed to start warming up again, but last night was bluefish cold.

It's obviously making the news here, as well.  

Not really good news, though. They live on the pack ice in the Arctic Circle, which suggests climate change is melting the ice. A biologist speaking o the radio earlier was suggesting that it would be unable to return north the way it came, because the north-to-south flowing Faroes sea current would be too strong for it. It would have to travel westwards towards America first to pick up a south-to-north current. He reckoned that won't happen, because they're not really a migratory animal.

I was driving at the time, so not paying full attention to the radio, but I think the same biologist said something about another walrus having been spotted in the past day or so well south of their usual habitat in Denmark, or somewhere like that. Perhaps @Timothy M. has heard something?

I've just read an article about it. Kevin Flannery, biologist, suggests it might have fallen asleep on ice that broke from melting and floated away south. What an incredible sight it must have been for the lucky people who's spotted it but the reason is very sad.

France is suspending the astra zeneka vaccines. It was the main brand used and will set the vaccination calendar back...

My brother gifted me really beautiful cognac color leather boots. They were on my Christmas wish list. Unfortunately they're a size too small. I'm hoping I can still get them the right size.
