RBA interest rates

Bad news for us retirees, the million dollar plus man at the RBA has decided to push the lever forwards and cut the cash rate by 25 basis points to 2.00% – bugger !!!

When I retired in July 2010 the cash rate was 4.5% and were getting 6.0% for the term deposit in our SMSF.

Al's Woodshop - kids tricycle repair

I've been given a kids wooden tricycle to repair. I feel like I'm running a community men's shed.


The damage is obvious, the handle bar was made from a softwood so no surprise the thing broke off. Here I'm knocking the pin out with a pin punch.

Another new toy for kitties.
