If that doesn't work, try superglue!!!!

I'm not allowed to play with super glue any more.


Something to do with me gluing my foot to the floor about 11:30 one night and waking up the whole house shouting for a bottle of nail polish remover...

Mrs Aus and I attended a birthday party for an aunty of mine today. She just turned 90, which is not a bad innings. Caught up with a few cousins, one I hadn't seen since 1966!!! when we had a fairwell for him as he was serving in the army and leaving for duty in Vietnam.

Speaking of army, we are an ex-army family, there was my cousin who went to Vietnam who retired as a Major. Two ex-Sargent Majors, one being my uncle (the auntie's hubby) who fought the Japanese in New Guinea, another ex-Sargent Major couldn't make it as he was on business in Melbourne, and of cause little ol' me who is an ex- artillery Gun Sargent.

Naturally a lot of the talk amongst us was army, particularly on Bofors anti air craft guns which most of us served on at one stage or another.

Oh, nearly forgot the aunty had a good time too. She actually served in the Womens Land Army in the second world war.

A lot of military history in the family Jim.. Would of been a good day..

Thought I would bore you with a couple of photo's, first was taken at Singleton Army Camp about 1965, that's me as a fresh faced 19year old Gunner standing on the left with the SLR slung over my shoulder.



The next photo was taken down at Tianjara about 1969, that's me in the middle looking over the shoulder of the gun layer (he aims and shoots the Bofor) I was a Gun Sargent in charge of the gun detachment here, hope you like, Jason.

Well started to make the drawers up for in the back of the disco. Bloody fridge is big I had to fit it long ways in the back, but that's not to bad atleast the battery fits in behind it. & I can get 2 drawers next to it & I will make storage on each side where the panels go in . its going to be a lot of weight in the rear.. I'm making them out of 12mm MDF & when i'm finished them i'll cover them in marine carpet or the like..Fred signed her papers for her traineeship tonite .Had to go into the Newcastle Macas to sign up..Got all the lawn wiper snipped & mowed the back lawn will do the front tomorrow..
