The weekends are very quiet here and boredom can get too you and being a long weekend have 3 days to find things to do.
Talking to another inmate who lost his leg on new years eve same as me but 1 year before me, he gave me good imfo about what will happen in the next few weeks with a new training leg and then a new full time leg, once messured up for a proper leg it only took 2 weeks to be made, so within a few months he had his new own titanim leg/foot and he is walking perfect with it. So hopefully will be soon i be back on 2 legs, my wife is on the phone with a friend they been chatting for about 2 hrs lol, she near back to normal lol, chew your ears off lol.
Well lunch is just about here only thing to look forward too 3 meals a day on time lol.

Doubly jealous after your breakfast ^^^ posting Ash and whats not to like ... I mean all the grub you can chomp and no washing up let alone doing the shopping.

I reckon they'll have to drag you out of that place kicking and screaming .. Lol !

Well 26th day after losing my leg/foot and slowly getting use to getting around doing things on my own although on my wheel chair, the stump is healing very good and slowly the swelling is close to my left leg still another 2weeks and 2 days for full healing but the docs were very impress in how its going and i boil that down to thinking positive and being happy, whats been done is done so getting back on the road as soon as can all helps to a quick recovery.
Yesterday my daughter picked up my new reading glasses as my new ones i got 4 weeks before the accident got smached as well my old RayBans, they had the same Ray Bans as my old ones and decided to get a new pair my old ones were over 10 years old, its a very hot morning out and the bay is calm and very glarry so was a good test for the new Ray Bans they came out with flying colours.
Had a few visitors yesterday as well my 2 daughters today its 34c and tomorrow on Australia day its going to hit 38c so a good hot day for BBQs and icey cold beers and a game of back yard cricket and i am stuck here farkkkk, with any luck a mate might come down and kidnap me for the day, can only hope lol, feel like a few cold beers mmm.
Debra is still baled up in bed they just done her leg and other injuries and its all looking good she be up and walking before me as i have to wait to get a new leg but think she be here longer than me for her rehab workouts she has a long way to go yet.
Friend of ours has put us onto a good lawer who deals with 3rd party accidents, he is also good at what he does so he be visiting us next week, he already has the police report of the accident and at no fault of our own so things are rolling to put 2 claims in.
Well a quiet Sunday and not much happening very quiet indeed, so not much more to report but love reading all the good words from everyone, it does help in my recovery as well Debra's when i read the replies from everyone.

Good to hear the report, we are on the other side of Earth's weather and a (somewhat rare) cold front is moving across Texas with some ice and snow. Funny, we moved north only 285 miles from Laredo, but it has gone from "Early Summer - Summer - HOT Summer - Late Summer" to "Fall - Winter - Spring - Summer here in north Austin!

Anyway fools running around buying all the bog roll and milk to "make it through" what is forecast to be a day and a half below freezing in the 20s(F). Kind of funny.

I'm just bored because my steel plate hasn't gotten here, so I can't finish welding up the sidecar subframe yet.. That will be FUN, when it's DONE!

Enjoy the warmth Ash, wishin I was down there. I just finished the chimney in the workshop, so wood stove heat

Chimney installed by Late Night Erection LLC.

We live in Queensland and never get snow in our winters get down to 6c at most in night but the days are around 18c to 24c in winter but southern states do get very cold winters as well snow we fo have, our summers can get very hot but living on the east coast its not so bad, going inland it can get 40c and some places up ot 50c, why 70% of aussies live on the coast.

Our stoves are hungry for wood these days. We had a 3 dog night last night. This morning it was -42C and didn't reach -30C until lunchtime. My beer froze in 10 minutes. Gotta drink em fast in this weather. We could sure use a few bottles of your heat Ash.

if we got 118 F in the UK the place would come to a standstill !

After much hype and predictions of impending doom the massive ice storms that were going to paralyze us for days on end is over. My corner of North Carolina got no ice, just rain. I can now see patches of blue sky, and temps in the 30s (F).

Here i my town/city of Brisbane (SE Queensland) we live in the sub tropics but go further up the north coast to Rockhampton and your heading up into the tropics of north Queensland where its hot and humid all year round, when we have our wet season the temps get very hot but it slso gets very humid as well, but out west of Queensland it super hot in the 40s+ but its a dry heat, even our spring it starts to get hot and our autums don't start to cool down till near winter and even through winter we get a few warm days, our winters are the best time of the year to be riding our British bikes.

Al and his B S he just doesn't give up, standards to rule our lives W T F, no wonder our lives are going down the sh it hole, ruled by professionals who have never experianced real life out in the real world.
Kids today are all wraped up in bubble wrap, and have their mobile devices glued to their hands in their faces, but then adults are like that theses days and now we have to put up with Ai because people can't work things out for themselves, i am glad i am old school.

When I'm in a cafe or similar and surround py people, not talking to each other, just staring at their phones (not just young ones either!) I turn up the volume on mine and play this...
