May 2025

We had a very pleasant Easter break at Burrum Heads with our five great-grandchildren for some of the time. Unfortunately Merv and Marg had their flu needles  a week before and it seemed to trigger a flu reaction again and Merv ended up having to get another course of antibiotics so was coughing  all the time. Hopefully no one else has caught it from him. Haven't got pictures of that time from Sue yet so maybe more next time.

Brother-in-law Syd took ill over Easter also and is now the wearer of a pacemaker  to regulate his heart beat.

Steve is due again this month as there sre still jobs to be done ar Kistelek and Elanora. Plans are for us to be where he is so should be at Elanora for a week or so early in the month.The deck is finished but we haven't seen the real thing yet, just pics..

I have voted eatly for the coming election and because of the stupid approach used by our politicians and media i had 2 ballot papers, one with eight names of whom I'd heard of three and a massive Senate paper with 56 names on it  and I didn't know more than about three of them. I've been totally bored by hearing the same policies repeated over and over again by media outlets and the names of two current leaders who have yet to be re-elected as candidates for their electorates and then as the leader of the elected party members in the new parliament.

One of the policies concerns "Environmental Eyesores" in the shape of solar panels and wind turbines. These are intermittent generator systems and will not provide guaranteed power supplies.China is happy to have 750 coal fired power stations and we have people saying we'll save the world by closing down our remaining six.

Off the soap box,

Cheers, 

Merv
