One kid in holiday in Malaysia, Singapore, then Thailand until end January.
One kid away camping until mid January.
Just me and wifey since Christmas eve.
I hate fireworks. I don't mind a professional fireworks display because not only is it pleasant to look at, it also comes to an end.
The morons setting them off for what seems like hours, is the shit that gets to me.
We have Ruru in the reserve at the end of our street and following every fucking Guy Fawkes, diwali, Christmas, new year's, and any other time the inconsiderate fuckwits set off fireworks, I don't hear the Rurus for weeks. Nevermind the other birds, dogs, etc.
Inconsiderate bastards is what they are.
Ban fireworks.
God, look at me. It's only 1 Jan and I'm ranting already.
Notwithstanding the answers thus far, stand by for my 2c worth...
Having recently had a malignant melanoma on my arm removed along with 2 lymph nodes, I'm now super focused on these matters.
As Dave has eluded to, just because it says 50+ on the bottle doesn't mean it is. Check out the Cancer Society approved brands ( There aren't as many as you think).
I've changed from the Nivea we were using to another one that actually is 50+.
Sorry to hear about your recent events. Situations like these are so stressful. Our experience with St John was just awesome. They really do know their stuff.
Hope things have improved for you and your family.
Now we're on the downhill slope towards longer nights.
When I'm prime minister, I will be banning all equinoxes, along with winter.
It will be summer solstice ever day.
Break up day. Yay!
2.5 weeks of doing mostly manly man things in my manly man shed with my manly man tools. Might have some manly beers in between my manly projects.
Gonna be awesome.
One kid is off to Malaysia for a month, other one out camping doing young people stuff. Just me and wifey.
Nice.
Yikes. That's like an average of 45 seconds per sheep.
I'm going to add her to my list of people I'm going to arm wrestle when I meet them: Valerie Adams, Lisa Carrington, and now Sacha Bond.
Bet it hurt like a bastard too.
