Amazing views from a Torquay garden! From my garden near Spalding I can see for miles and miles and miles, cos it's bloody flat up here! Can you kindly give me the name of your optician please.

Bristol Oil Services Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 I can see a blackbird, think it's a blackbird. Or is a tit? I can see a blackbird, or a tit, mate. So, in answer to your question: a blackbird, or a tit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime I can see the Clitoris is in full bloom in the front garden and the games area out the back needs to be tidied while the robot cleans the pool. Same as Slacker regarding planes. Apart from that pretty much naff all. Bloody hell that's a big bushy clitoris, you need to get Charlie Dimmock in give it a trim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 My back gate, then a road. And if I'm lucky I might see someone, but they've been less frequent since all the trouble. And then the lockdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky enough to look over the Lake Preston / Myalup National park from the front deck and on the other side 10 minutes walk to the beach. It makes staying at home in relative isolation not too bad. Katherine in the NT you have mentioned, now that’s a strange spot in the middle of the NT. That’s another place I know quite well as we lived in Darwin for 8 years late 90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s another place I know quite well as we lived in Darwin for 8 years late 90s I spent a while living in Palmerston just outside Darwin (circa 85 / 86) heading out towards Harold Springs (played a number of games for Darwin Olympic). Started a building supply business in Katherine when they started building the Tindall RAAF base and then sold it on before moving to Toowoomba. Built a lot of houses for the NT Housing Commision on Aborigine encampments all over and also in Timber Creek. Also had a branch office in Alice. Not an easy place for the family to live but great fun none the less. Folks live in Goolwa south of Adelaide. They are in their mid nineties so I normally visit every 4 or 5 months but that is obviously not possible at the moment. The rest all live around Seaford, Christie's Beach & Hallet Cove on Adelaide Southside. Support Port Adelaide in AFL.......Carn Pear !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
