Interested in this but...don't want to end up growing a tail

I have been 'forced' by the government to have the bloody AZ jab!

Cold night - Speckles in the laundry

Zero degrees tonight so brought her in and setup the laundry with Pixie's crate along with food & water when see comes in the morning.

Workshop CCTV DRV not recoding - again.

We have two home security systems and both of them are from ALDI; the main house system and another one in the workshop.

The workshop DVR has HDD failures from time-to-time so it's become a familiar routine to pull out the unit, remove the HDD and connect to workshop PC to fix it - but not format. Do that when it's back in the DVR the connect a test camera to make sure it records OK before putting it back in the cupboard.

The DVR is located in this cupboard near the side entrance with an old Dell LCD monitor on top. Channel 1 & 2 are the workshop cameras. Channel 4 camera looks down the carport and up the driveway. This one full screen allows me to keep an eye on things when home alone. Channel 3 is general purpose outside camera usually on a makeshift camera stand (old windmill base) that I move around as needed.

Misty has crossed the rainbow bridge - follow-up

Running out of room so I cleared this area with the chain saw.

Misty has crossed the rainbow bridge

Very sad news.

The tumor under her wing burst overnight. We knew the end was near as she has of course been to the vet but at 13+ not much can be done. She had been doing quite well out and about with Speckles every day.

This is the last photo of Misty before the mobile vet arrived - RIP

Al's Kitchen - Nasi goreng

Nasi goreng on the left and a mild madras curry on the right.

That's an ALDI Wok, one of my favorite  cooking utensils.

No recipe - I did my own thing which is always a bit of a gamble; will it turn out all right?

Possum cam

One of the kids checking if mum is on the way back from shopping. As she comes down the lower cable (NBN) and gets closer (see previous posts) to the dray two little pairs of eyes will start dancing around - with excitement.

Remember these must-have gadgets?

Many memories for me here in particular this Philips N1520 VCR for commercial and education markets - and I had one! Also had the N1500 domestic version; that's because I worked for Philips in the early seventies - great company.

Possum Cam - Part 1 6/5

Possum Cam - all setup for tonight

Possum Cam all setup.


Expecting some good footage tonight with the addition of the IR LED spotlight that's sitting on top of the ice cream container.

Possum Cam – additional night lighting

Came up with the idea to increase the lighting by making an IR LED spotlight that will sit on top of the camera ice cream container weather housing.

Went through my CCTV stuff and found a few of these lenses with IR lighting.

CCTV camera lens with IR LED’s – perfect. xxx
