An excellent idea - remove anything sharp from everyone's home - then burglers can stab 78 year old men with screwdrivers and get clean away with it. Saves all that time arresting the old guy and treating him like a criminal for attempting to protect his disabled wife his property and himself

It seems to be open season on 78 year olds at the moment. Yesterday a 78 year old man just down the road from me was stabbed several times by some lowlifes who were after his pension, and a man was shot dead by armed police for carrying a gun. They caught the three culprits who stabbed two people in separate incidents - one was 12 and the other two were both 13, but they did nothing about the 14 year old girl who lives a couple of streets away and has a gun, although they did get her recently for decking a policewoman. And people wonder why I go to the corner shop in my car!

I have the trike and all 6 bikes with us, yes. But neither road we have lived in, or are going to live on are bike friendly. Plus camping in Aus is more off-road and with a 4x4 we'll be able to explore further. (it's a land cruiser). Plus I need some kind of transport now with my doctors staying where we live now. It's an hour from here to the new place and most of that is on roads with a 100 or 110 kph speed limit, except for the dirt roads which don't have an advisory speed limit.

The (prima facie) limit for rural areas without street lights is 80kmph unless otherwise sign posted.

If the road isn’t sealed that’s probably way too high for the conditions - which I’m sure you know.

I don't think she's planning on going that fast on the trike!

You never know though.
 
Every day on my way home I walk past a house that puts up their Xmas decorations very early. It was so cold, dark and rainy when I walked this evening that for a brief second when walking past I though 'they will be trimming up soon' it really does feel like we are heading into winter instead of spring :(

Indeed it does. We have had a persistent mist today, making it look and feel like November. I am so sick of seeing no sun, I need proper light to get into my eyes.

Friday was glorious, in the evening I mowed the front lawn and spent time weeding, how did it all go wrong?
 
Lol, I put Xmas lights out the back and front last December, they are solar powered, they are still working. I just havnt thought about taking them down. When I'm upstairs I see people walking past and they stop and look at them.
I guess they enjoy them. Think I'll just leave them up, if people enjoy them.

Well lights are lights and look pretty all year round - or have you got a lit up Santa and reindeer on the roof? That might look a bit strange in April.
