Have been a member since October 2006.  Have been loitering on the periphery for the last few years.  Have seen this site go through some changes but what matters is the people and the wealth of information.  Well done Dan to have kept it morphing over time. :-bd

Hello Stranger,you finally made the permanent move to the right end of the state? ;))

Wow wee Andre :jawdrop: what a fantastically, aesthetically, functionally, pleasing design. I would really look forward to a working bee on that. Candidate for Grand Designs. Kevin would just love all those curves. Can’t wait to see some pics once you get started. :tup: :tup:

Thanks for that input pavbenth.

I googled it and there seems to be two main methods. One is to stew them first and then freeze which avoids the mushy outcome.

The other is to freeze them individually by wrapping them in oven paper. Apparently this reduces the risk of them going mushy. I might give this a go as I would like to try and keep…[Read more]

Thanks for the feedback people :tup:

Open, friendly, caring, intelligent, knowledgeable community of people. :tup: :tup:

Yep Steve :tup: You know where the shop is that sells them???? :huh:

Mmmmm……a challenging thought especially for someone who got involved in all this nearly 8 years ago. I think I might have lost my way a bit. I was certainly happier back then. Perhaps I need to have another look at where I am at could be helpful at the moment in helping me recover.

Thanks for the advice. Its somewhat difficult to focus on anything for to long at the moment. Its a major effort to sit down and write a job application. A sense of having little or no purpose doesn’t help either. Some days worse than others and this time of year is a bit of a mixed bag with high highs 🙂 and low lows 🙁 abounding.

Thank you all for your concern and support. Its a bit of a chicken and egg situation at the moment. Anxiety attacks destroy your self confidence which does not help when you are seeking to convince someone they should employ you which in turn doesn’t help with self confidence and finances and so on and so forth…… You don’t have to be in the…[Read more]

Hello people :wave:

Didn’t realise you all cared so much :blush:

I have posted an update under “Finally Hitting the Road” Must get to my blog and update it. Have been over taken by health issues.

Cheers

Thank you to all those who have expressed concern to Lady B re my current status etc.

My trip to the big island came to an end in September. I ticked off a couple of must sees from my bucket list but finances and anxiety attacks got the better of me I had to return to Melbourne and then home to Hobart. Currently looking for some work to get the…[Read more]

Just an update. I am still on the big island and currently in Mallacoota. Lovely spot. Found the Gippsland Lakes area really nice. Will be heading up into NSW in the next week or so and probably be around the Eden Bega area for a while so if anyone needs some work done or you know someone who does then my bank balance would welcome the…[Read more]

Well, I am now on the big island. Currently staying with my sister at Cranbourne so if anyone in the area needs some handyman type work doing I am available for a reasonable hourly rate depending on the nature of the work. Also have experience in clerical and admin work.

Thanks one and all for your kind wishes and comments.

Andre dear oh dear oh dear you know full well that when you get a lot of horses and carts all on the road together it can take quite a while to clear them 😉 😉 😉 🙂

The Mitshubishi is a Delica which is basically a Pajero with a different body. I imported it from Japan about 12 months…[Read more]

Thanks for the kind wishes one and all. I will let you all know where I am via posts here and on the blog.

I am taking my tools with me(self taught wood butcher 😉 🙂 ) and will be looking to keep the finances topped up by finding some paid casual work and/or exchange for accommodation etc so I might be of some use to you. I am thinking of…[Read more]

Thanks for the invitation Andre :clap: When will you be on site?

Cheers
Wayne

G’day Andre long time no speak 🙂 Wow 3 years certainly slips bye. My plans for becoming a working grey nomad are on track(at this stage) so if you are still looking for some extra hands to lift and carry I will more than likely be over that way early in 2013.

Cheers
Wayne

Hello tweetyoz :wave: and welcome back to the island.

Where abouts are you?
