ALDI: Digital Caliper $19.99



  • Measuring capacity: 0-150mm

  • Large 6 digit LCD display

  • Sliding wheel for precise adjustment

  • Includes storage case


Although I have had a good quality vernier caliper for many years decided to get one as the eyes even with close-up glasses have trouble with the smaller graduations. Works quite well so no complaints. Has on and off buttons of course but you don't need to actually turn it on, as soon as you open the jaws she turns on.

New chooks in the coop

Purchased two young Bantams Pekins from Derloch Kennels in Montrose.
They are Collie Rough breeders and also do Pekin Bantams.

One of them is white with black freckles and the other is blue
ET thinks suitable names might be Freckles or Spotty and Smokey or Bluey .

No doubt the kids will have a say…

Relaxing pets


Holly.

Canine underwear fetish

Once again we returned from shopping and discovered someone had been into the dirty clothes basket.



I thought the bra belonged to ET (the wife) but was informed NJ (the younger kid) was the owner.

ALDI: Indoor Remote Control Sockets $24.99



  • Set consists of 4 x remote sockets (2 with dimmer function) and 1 x remote control

  • Batteries included

  • Indoor use only

Setup three of them around the lounge and dining areas to control table and floor lamps – works well.

Amazing how “they” can produce something like this which finds its way to Oz land and sold for $25 bucks.


Another new toy for kitties.
