My news is slightly less exciting and interesting than everyone else’s.

The pull chord on my lawnmover has bust. ahdn_paul_01 

My news is similar. We put new blades on the riding mower. Within 5 minutes, I ran over a piece of rebar hiding in the grass. Nicked the blades up something fierce. a-hard-days-night-paul-3paul-mccartney

Welp, I finally joined the 21st century and bought my first smart-telephone-device-thingie today. Expect I’ll have to take some time to get to learn how to use the damn thing. I understand it can even take pictures and play music!

Good luck. 

Let us know how you get on? And if you ever work out how to make a phone call (what appears to be the single most difficult task on a smart phone for some reason).

It is how I carry all of you around in my pocket, wherever I am in the world. It is how I am reading and writing posts on the forum right now as I sit in the shade with the wind blowing my hair around.

My goat herder needs to bring 6 extra goats with him this season. Lots of rain = lots of grass.

Currently watching the US Open.

There is immense satisfaction in watching professional golfers hit golf ball into bunkers and end further away from the hole after their shot than when they began.

Some score for the Australia women’s football beating beating Brazil 1-0 in the last 16 @trcanberra. 

Are the team gaining much exposure as they progress?

Great result. They are getting decent coverage, but football isn’t the main sports code here and the men have struggled to get into the news. Like most countries women and football are not the number one (or even number 10) spot in the sports coverage.

Sorry to hear it – over to the ladies for more advice on how to help at “that time of the month”.

So what kind of phone did you buy? How do you like it so far?

Well done on the concert SG and yay for the many George songs on your set-list. The man needs more promotion a-hard-days-night-george-9

*grinning my face off*

Agreed! You’re welcome, @AppleScruffJunior! It’s a brilliant song to do live, such great energy and cheeriness. I would do even more George songs, but not many of them are one-acoustic-guitar-able. I have that problem a lot.

I forgot to mention, everybody started grinning when I started singing the guitar solo in Something . Not very professional, but I can’t not sing it; it’s practically part of the vocal track for me. 

Anyway…

Back in NC now after A Hard Day’s Night of driving– in our new-to-us 2005 white Volvo V70. T’is a gear vehicle– I keep looking out at our drive and saying, ‘That is a hot car.’ Repeatedly. 

The fellow who sold it to us left a guitar pick, numerous coins, some CDs, and the CD booklet from a CD his band released (called ‘How To Land’). Pretty awesome junk to leave to the person that purchases your car. 

Oh, and my grandparents let me play Let It Be on vinyl. It was fab! I want all my albums on vinyl now.

So, I’d only been inside a courtroom once during my life before (as a witness giving evidence in a trial) and now it’s twice in as many months.

The first was of course my divorce hearing last month.

Tomorrow I am seeking to obtain a restraining order against the person formerly known as my STBE who has been busy stalking me ever since the divorce order.

I’ll let you know how things go – 25 abusive texts in a day is a bit much!
