{Qiuote} Fancy Aussies complaining about the rain, lol {Unquote}. You have to remember that while us POMs , as a tell my dear 'Strain wife, invented whinging, her lot made it into an art form!

Hi Buff & CMack , Have a great Canada Day on the 1st! Cheers, Merv

The odd passing shower, but mostly sunny. 23C today, getting a couple of degrees warmer tomorrow. Projected ( Yer right!) suggests rain decreasing in the early part of next week. Probably code for 'Who Knows'.

See my last post never made it. Never mind, Ron had the situation covered. The sun is trying to peep through the clouds, but it looks the rain won't clear until Sunday. Then,the temperature is forecast to be 25*

Yep, Some years ago as an alternative to Pred. It was a relatively short course with tapering. The effects were much the same with Pred, but I seem to recall that the mood swing issues were a little more pronounced. Nevertheless, it did provide a period of respite in terms of pain and B/A's...

I, not, funnily enough, have had similar problems., In an earlier post, I thought that it might have been due to Stelara, which acts to effectively to turn off what is left of one's autoimmune system. Yes, I know an oversimplification, but that is basically what happens with biologics. The other...

All things shall pass Ron!

Overcast. Possible shower forecast. Maximum 20* C, but this is winter and tomorrow will see the shortest day in the Southen Hemisphere. After all, as one ages, 12 weeks of winter is just a flash in the pan No, good people, not that kind of pan.

Very pleasant today, sunny around 25*. Managed to get a few overdue garden jobs done, I shall reward myself when central beer time arrives.

Cold, damp and miserable. Frustrated that I can't find a scalpel to cut my wrists, but otherwise, perfectly functional. Survive, we shall. Bedtime beckons, Celer et Audax, M. Ps.Any Canadian would be aware of this term. The RGJ,in which I served, was a sister Regiment of the PPLI.

Much the same as Ron. More than nippy at night, but it seems that next week will be warmer . As much as 25* during the days.

Nothing much to report, except what appears to be a minor miracle. A colonoscopy performed 2/7 ago supposedly indicated that the area of the ileum contained no evidence of active CD. So far, so good. The Registrar that did the procedure, works a junior member of my usual 'gastrobod's' team. My...

Clear, around 22*. Night time temperatures forecast to drop to 7C and 9C over the next two days. That is COLD for this area. Now, where did I store the long johns?

Purrfect? Cheers, Merv

'They say diet can help, but I find that when I shower less often the flies find me less attractive.' Absolutely true about showering Buff. During my active service years in Borneo ( The Indonesian Confrontation) on extended jungle patrols, any jungle basher will tell you that the longer you...

Me too!

Hi Buff, Instead of black flies, we have mossies and sand flies. The latter is much worse in the warmer months, but never totally disappears in winter. Local legend suggests that Vit B complex is useful in controlling reaction to the bites. The theory is that the secretions of the vitamins...

Yep, Spooky, Where I live is on an island located the Queensland subtropics. About 25 miles south of Brisbane. Ron lives around 2 hours drive from me to the north. I'm an old jungle bunny from way back, in then Malaya and Borneo. Snow and sleet, well I remember from childhood days in...

Overcast, with a good chance of further coastal showers. While our Canadian and UK pals will have a laugh, it is really quite cold at 24* during the day and 14/15* overnight! Perhaps my damaged vascular system might have something to do with this, nor do I carry much fat on these old bones!
