Embarrassment

Been grinding up the old tiles in the house. Bloody hell there is cement dust everywhere, gets into every nook and cranny. I'm using a Rotary Hammer Drill to lift the old tiles and remove most of the grouting.

There is still lumps and bumps everywhere which have to be removed so I went to Bunnings this morning and bought an angle grinder with a special diamond rotary head to smooth and grind the concrete floor so we can relay over the floor.The diamond head cost nearly as much as the grinder.

We have bought the Allure brand of floating floor from Harvey Norman. It clicks in together and the colour we bought is Travertime Ivory and it looks like floor tiles.

The area is 42 square metres, so it is a large area. Mrs Aus rang Harvey Norman today chasing up the order and they told her it will be delivered in the next couple of days. Doesn't really matter as it is a slow job lifting the old tiles and regrinding the floor.:D:D

I want to go back to work to get a rest!!!:whistling:

Nothing as yet . Has to have the liver biopsy but cant get in till the 13th of December. So more waiting.. Karen is still loosing weight alarmingly & now fits into freds clothes..




















I also had a visitor today . Young Tony called into to show me his new car.. Its a beauty .. He said he'd put pics up later..


I got a LITTLE NERVIOUS while he was here just a little flutter.. Karen says its that time of year & I don't deal with it very well.. I thought I was doing well but obviously not.. this time of year is my birthday & Christmas & has always been a realy hard time for me ..

I was sposed to goto doctors to get a script wen Tony left But when I came in Karen said its to late go tomorrow or on the weekend..

There is noway I could tell anyone of you guys im nervious while use where here its embaracing & just not right to do that..

Maybe i'll get better with this time of year . its always been hard cause of oldman but this is the first since he died so I guess it will get easier each year cause I don't have to think or worry what he will say or do because I don't or didn't go to his house..


I was worried Tony was going to pickup on my nerves cause I felt I was shaking & stuttering & had to get a drink cause my mouth & throat was so dry..How pathetic is it when that's all you think of for some of someones visit.I usualy get nervous to some degree with all visitors cept jim realy .& I think Jim & Mrs Aus are the only people I can sit inside with on a visit.. I don't do that cause I worry if I went into a panic who ever is here will see & hear it so I don't do that cept with Jim & Mrs Aus..

I may have sold the grenn landy.. Will let use know more when we do.. Could be going to QLD..

All good. Back to the photos for a minute. Jim, David also owns and flies that Dragonfly. He works it the hardest so, if you see a really great show with it, David is usually at the controls. When he gets out at the end he is covered in sweat.

The Land Rover is owned by a mate of mine. He is known to a couple of people here on the forum. That's him in the driver seat. It is a 1950 model and is usually used on his property in Temora for weed spraying. Here at his house in Canberra he has a pristine 1948 Landy - in showroom condition.

G'day Drifter, yes that Landy was really an early model and as I said it looks all original.:D

As far as the Dragonfly is concerned according to the Official Warbirds Program the pilot was a Darren Crab. Looks like there is more than one Dragonfly around, I think.:D

Sorry Jason I should have let you know I was coming, but by the time I pulled over and rang I would have nearly been there. I must admit I didnt pick up on you being nervous at all

Yes, Darren is one of their well known guest pilots. I was a regular visitor at the shows for several years - and was there when the Sabre took to the air for the first time.The museum owns 2 Dragonflys - the one with the polka-dot tanks is the one David usually pilots.
