Waiting for Luna to move

House cleaning done and floors dry so everything can be put down again except one chair.

New coat for Pixie


Internet outage

 

CATV-Double02-e1424779980910-850x312

BigPond cable outage - went to bed with no internet and Telstra tech visit booked this morning 8 - 12. Holly woke me before 8.0 but took no notice until alarm went off at 8.15. Better get moving, noticed modem lights were normal so logged into router and everything looks OK. Better click the SMS link on the phone to notify callback for support lady to phone me back - to cancel the booking. While chatting to her checked service status and yes there was another (unrelated to yesterday) overnight 3150 outage that was restored at 7.35am this morning - wow.

Food labeling - what a joke

Things are bad enough now with everyone using New Zealand as a back door, that Honey label is a bloody insult.

Bond Telescopic Tree Pole Pruner 2.4m

After Bunnings went across the road to Masters, something we won't be doing in the near future - cos it's won't be there. Checking out with a few items and noticed on my left a box of tree pruners @ $29. Hey that's a good price and it looks to have a more refined cutter mechanism that the ALDI one I have for around the same price – so got one.

Visit to older daughter’s place

First visit after the move last weekend with some garden tools in the boot to tend to the veggie patches. Not really my cup of tea but managed to be useful pulling out corn clumps and miscellaneous weeding tasks. Oh...and both ET and I ended up stepping on dog poop.

Free range eggs – dodgy companies

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) took Derodi Pty Ltd and Holland Farms Pty Ltd to court, claiming it had falsely labelled eggs as free range from January 2012 to December 2014.

The two companies trade together as the entity Free Range Egg Farms, and sold eggs under the labels Ecoeggs, and Port Stephens and Field Fresh free range eggs.

Another new toy for kitties.
