The Things You Are HAPPY About Thread.

Both times I have visited NY that has been buried under scaffolding.

Back next year though, so good to see the work finally completed

NYC Marathon day. My partner is not a morning person. She had to get the Staten Island Ferry at 5.45am to get to the start for her wave. Most difficult part of the race is complete!

 

[Dire Wolf]

She finished in 3h 22. Happy with that.

Also found a bar full of Bills fans to watch Tyler Bass put a dagger through Dolphins fans hearts. Such a shame... Great day!

Might have a roadtrip down to Melbourne next weekend. Never been bar landing at the airport so quite looking forward to it. Bastard long way though - its 755k to Sydney from here, and Melbourne is a long way past that.

Was gonna say that'll be a long drive! What are the trains like in Oz?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They can be quite expensive on some routes. There is a station over the road from me that used to connect to both Sydney and Brisbane. The route to Sydney closed years ago but the Brisbane route shut last year as all the bridges burnt out in the bushfires.

You can fly to Melbourne from Toowoomba for about $320 return

Melbourne's ok.

Melbourne's ok.

If the Visit Melbourne office don't take this and use it as their tagline i will be unhappy.

just got a msg from my daughter.
Got her exam results , and got a 1st class honours degree in paramedic science.
I chuffed to bits for her, as she loves the job so much.

Well done to her. A fine career to go into too. Is that in Greece or back over here?

No back in the uk, over here you just need to know how to put a plaster on your own ass for an honours degree.

Sourced via a company i used to use when self employed...looks superb.

The eldest great grandaughter took gold in the vault and floor disciplines in a gymnastics comp in Doncaster today.

 

[leedswolf]

Not bad for a nine year-old...

 

[Jack Regan]

Just had a call at work and the guy on the other end had fallen asleep whilst waiting for us to answer.

The arrival of my grandson, Logan at 11am today.

After a slight delay (thanks, shitty external HR firm), starting my new job tomorrow. Big switch from self-employment (which I've been doing now since 2012) but the right switch.
