progressing into feb-24

As of today it is the second 40°C day, back to back. There is nothing to do for it except get your work done early then go inside to avoid the hottest part of the day. I am laying on the floor with the dogs and cats, shutters drawn. Ex-cyclone Kirrily is closing from the NW pushing hot desert air ahead of the rain. 
Also out there are my new storm sails and windvane, coming from Sydney and Scotland respectively. 
Meanwhile I have prepared the starboard chain plate and a new boarding ladder to fit up on my next trip to the boat. If I get the time to hang about and wait for the sealant to set, I will then go sailing. 
I have been swimming, today I ordered an inflatable surf mat. It will be easily stowed on my motorcycle or the boat, ready for action.

My great grandmother passed in midlife & her daughter, my grandmother, had several skin grafts on her nose to manage skin cancer.  Last month my younger brother Pete had a ...

mass political deception

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
