Plenty of rain, flooding and lots of trees down, but so far no major dramas as far as I am aware. No sunny JB at the moment I'm afraid.

It's pretty much departed the Central Coast now, apart from a couple of days of strong winds and bulk rain, a timely 4 hour blackout yesterday was the worst I got...

We saved the worst of it and sent it south for Ned's today..!

Well, Albo's trying to emulate Gough with his trip to China.

There are three main differences between them.

1. Gough was a very great orator that most would listen to.

2. Gough was very clear in his intentions.

and

3. Gough had a backbone.

My wife nearly threw up when she seen him wearing a Hawthorn polo shirt, and she is Hawthorn through and through. Why would he do that on an overseas visit to China.
What a F***wit.

On my first trip up-top, I bought a combo record player/radio unit. Plus my first albums. Previously, I only bought singles and played them at a neighbour's house.

My first two albums were, The Best of Andy Williams and Paranoid by Black Sabbath.

To this day, I still have a folder with my favourite Black Sabbath tracks, on USB, to play in my car.

RIP Ozzy, you were a legend.
