G’day N.O.P.E visiting old family, old friends maybe some booze. It’s christmas coming fast, you’ll want your guard up. C

G’day On my shoulders falls the duty of making the triffle. I’ll have to make it on Sunday ready for transporting 800 km south on Monday. I’ve already got a container and lid to fit in the 12 volt camping fridge. First layer mini chocolate Swiss rolls in 1/2s. Stand on thier ends .3/4 cup of port wine and couple of shots of expresso coffee spoon on so the sponge rolls soak it up. Then the red jelly ( called port wine jelly in aust.) pour it over sponge so it locks in the flavours when it sets. Next ....custard made double thick then water it back down with cream.... Then a layer of mango jelly. Made a bit thicker when set push through a open weave vegvstrainer so it comes out in little uneven pieces. Mix through canned mango it actually works better than fresh. Top layers are put on just before serving and it’s strawberries in jelly chopped roughly and cream. My kids knew they were grown up when they got the bottom layer served to them ( and didn’t pull a face) Yes they’ll also be a tray of mangos and cherries..... always be too much but it’s christmas. C

g’day NOPE starts my day C

G’day Never took a selfie before. Had a try tonight. Suppose I had this idea that I’d look great .....like some of those shots of my niece with the big eye shots. How do they do that? chucked most in the bin! Finally used the last one. Well... would be better with a full beard, but I’ll have to keep it short till the next OP. The Tam well why not... 6 generation Aussie Scott. That beard was ginger once.... Now it’s pretty much silver. The little wee one next door, little miss 4 is a little worried about the loss of the beard might have an impact on her presents at Christmas... Plus she’s off to New Zealand this year to be with extended family... ive promised Christmas will happen even in NZ. Just my luck someone going to tell her the truth... and she’s old enough to understand.... C

G’day try Tic Tacs, even if you get through a packet a day it’s probably not as much sugar as a carrot cake slice. 2 single tic tacs sucked to nothing consume as much time as a cig. And in that time space a crave has slithered away cause you have ignored it. Plus you get to have a packet to play with just like your old habit. Me I like the orange ones and used to love the other fruit ones they bring out from time to time. Still have a pack at all times in my truck so I get to indulge in my little addiction. My wife hates them as I was forever leaving them in my pockets, left some pretty funky stains... Keep up the writing... trust me I still need to be reminded, yes I need to maintain the rage! Hate cigs cause they are killers. Love smokers cause I was one... C

G’day i Have more reason to NOPE..... than I have to smoke C

G’day NOPE pledge ....the only way to start the day C

G,day Its Queensland. Its hot. Too hot to be too restricted. So it’s Free Balling for me! Shorts to the knees Least something should drop out the bottom Yes you heard it Jo no Aussie rule shorts for me. Ask her bet she’s got a lot of pics C

G’day I have a quit... he’s 3. I’m very proud of him. Course I am, I’m a parent! But he’s 3. He’s just a toddler. He’s curious willfull and ready to explore the world. But there are dangers out there. My job is to protect. I’m a parent and that’s what I do. I set boundary’s. They don’t just restrict. They give a protective zone for my quit to grow strong and experience the world. As he grows up against those barriers it time to loosen them and let him grow some more. There is one that will never be lossened and that ones NOPE. Not One Puff Ever. Its a quit killer. Simple as that. That line in the sand that can’t be crossed. Like I said.... I’m a parent. It’s my duty To Love

G’day Joe I was told told drop bears was a Sydney problem? Don’t you in Victoria burn them nests out in the summer months with those massive bushfires and kill of the remains with sodden winter rains and freezing blasts of winter antartic wheather. Here in Qld has never been great drop bear country. They never get a clear drop on thier prey in the rainforest canopy. Once on the forest floor they fall prey themselves to the bush turkeys. The bush turkeys lay thier eggs on the drop bear carcass and cover them with massive piles of rotting leaf litter. The warmth of mass of humus hatches the eggs and the carcasses supply food for the newly hatched chicks. Isn’t nature smart. Anyway up till reciently we have had started to have a problem with curious overseas visitors leaving the relative safety of sandy coast. Yep you guessed it puts them in the forest with the bush turkey. But nature is grand, it’s all about checks and balances. As the number of visitors come in fatal contact with Bush turkey the number of humpback whales are increasing, and the whale watching boats. Just one of those boats goes missing it’s 60 to 100 visitors.... easy to hide a few doz bush turkey Nos in those figures. And Jo you can talk about it openly. It’s been talked about for the last 200 old years and never made any difference. I don’t know why perhaps they have to find out for themselves. They come for whatever reason and become part of the food chain it’s only nature. My advise when visiting Queensland you got to eat like a local and smell like part of the landscape. In Qld it’s a simple breakfast of a piece of whole meal toast, vegemite on that and smashed advocardo on top. The diferent types of avo’s fruit at diferent times of the year ensuring a year long supply. The pic is some growing in my back yard probably from a seed buried by a bush turkey. Regards Chris
