The photo has nothing to do with the discussion.
MyLotter Ptrikha_2 (@ptrikha_2) wrote about how he has been under the weather with cold-like symptoms. He passed some time by reading and was surprised to find that he felt a bit...

The photo is of a rock-pool in the general area of Meckering.
Meckering (population 200-odd) in Western Australia made a name for itself when, in 1968, an earthquake reduced much of the town to rubble. In 1995, Charles Wadley...

I wrote about a national quiz show where contestants are asked questions about a subject that they’ve chosen for themselves. One of the contestants had chosen the Sydney Harbour Bridge as their subject.

There is a quiz show on our national TV station that screens around about the time we’re sitting down to dinner. Each evening there are four contestants who are asked questions about a subject that they’ve chosen for themselves....

It doesn’t matter much what subject you think about, there will have been changes made over the years. Jigsaws are no exception. From being a cimple puzzle, jigsaws are now made in the shape of, say, an animal, or maybe a...

We took a friend to a Chinese restaurant on Saturday night. It was her birthday.
There were five of us and we sat at a round table which had a lazy Susan in the middle. You are probably familiar with this. This table was ideal...

I read a nice feel-good story on our local news feed. Newman Police Station is located 1,170 kilometres north-east of Perth. In 2020, they adopted a tabby kitten which is now considered one of the team. He is now known as PC...

So I’m wondering if Hills hoists are seen in countries other than Australia. The Hills hoist is regarded as an Australian icon although its popularity is dying out somewhat now.
The first of these rotary clothes lines was...

Having shown you my niece’s Lego model of the Eiffel Tower, I thought you might like to see some of her other Lego creations.
This shows part of a street scene set up on top of a dresser. I think the units were probably bought...

The photo shows the magnificent trifle that my sister-in-law made for our Christmas dinner. It was delicious. The glass bowl showed off the various layers nicely but there was way, way too much for four of us.
The Swiss roll...

We spent Boxing Day with my niece. She loves Lego and her latest acquisition is the Eiffel Tower which she had decorated as her ‘Christmas tree’.
Vince has used a software program to doctor the left-hand photo, and you can see...

A very Happy New Year to you all. It hasn’t started off terribly well for me as I have a very painful ear and am battling to hear much at all at the moment. I went to the doctor on Monday and I’m sure I’ll be fine soon.

The photo is another of the inside of the new-to-us motor-home showing the kitchen area. There are storage cupboards above too.
We consider ourselves ‘country people’ and find the hustle and bustle of city life a bit off-putting...

Following my last discussion about Apple tags, several people didn’t really understand what I was talking about. I didn’t know how to explain them properly so I asked ChatGPT for a simple 100-word explanation.

We know quite a few people in the village but we often get together with two other couples. We take it in turns to go to each other’s house most Tuesdays after the movie night and enjoy socialising together. It’s so easy just to...

The photo has nothing to do with the post. It’s another example of street art that I really love.

My mother loved her garden and spent hours in it every day. Because of our climate, our potted plants need shelter from the sun so rather than hot-houses we have shade houses. She had two ‘shade-houses’. If a frost was predicted...

I’ve often written about some of the more unusual sayings in the English language and how it must be difficult for non-native speakers to understand some of them.
In a comment a few days back, myLotter and friend Trebor Ika...
