:laugh2: ..... Let's call it deuce so it doesn't cause a racket and end up in court. :cards: Feeling a bit sorry for Nadal he hasn't had a lot of luck in the past week. I really love his OCD moves before service.

OMG, all that malarkey he does drives me nuts.!!  He often does an abbreviated version even when he's receiving.

If he's not playing an Aussie, I usually pass watching his matches.

:laugh2: .... I love how he still does the over the ears hair wipe even though he's had a hair cut! We won't even mention the drink bottles. (Oops, mentioned them).

Decided to trim up the apple trees - silly me - got stung by a couple of large Australian paperwasps on the face - sitting here with an ice pack on my face. got stung by a bee a couple of months back. think I should give up on venturing into our yard :( or maybe i could get a gardener ... humm that might work!!!

I went to town today to see the specialist and I am having the op to remove the Hardware from my arm 24th next month.
While we were in town I decided to get a wifi internet gizmo from the Telstra shop because my pre paid dongle is outrageously expensive.
I ended up with the dongle AND a new phone Samsung 7 and 47 gig of shared data a month and I end up paying less a month even with the new phone :dance2::)

all the best with the new phone and set up
you can spend a fortune on simple communications these days
it's crazy

"data usage"is the one we get hit  hard for as we have our mobiles and the sons' mobiles on the one plan. One son in particular is the worst offender

Good luck old mate and hope all goes well with the op :friends:

The set up was dead easy you just connect the two phones together (Old and New) with a cable , pretty much the same as the old Com cable data transfer from years ago and the new phone gets all the data and settings from the old phone.
messages, emails, images and everything else is transferred to the new phone :good:
I got them to fit a new waterproof and shockproof cover to the phone and when I was just about to leave the shop I tossed the phone onto the tiled floor to make sure that the case worked.
You should have seen the look on sales girls eyes and some of the customers when I did that, I nearly wet my pants laughing.
I KNOW these cases work because my last one broke 2 of my ribs when I was involved in that prang and the phone and case survived perfectly But it sure was Fun to test it out again :diablo::)

I forgot to mention that the problem with my Disco wasn't the transfer box at all, The bloody rear diff is the problem :(
The guys drained the oil out of the diff and they recon it looked like anti-seize there was that much metal mixed in the oil from a bearing that was about to collapse.
I got a quote of $1,300 to get this fixed which I think is pretty reasonable considering everything with a "landrover" sticker on it is marked up about 300% :angel:
I am actually glad this happened now and not on our next trip as $1,300 wouldn't be anywhere near enough to cover the job if this happened in the Kimberlies .
I should get the truck back in a few days and I am thinking of doing a few days up in Sharks Bay on my own Fishing before I have my op and have to wear a cast for a few weeks :good:

Excellent

I think my hubby is going to have dome sort of a cast on his foot too.
We went and bought a set of Canadian crutches yesterday. The son is now going to fly up with him and fly back the next day. That way I am OUT of the equation.  Feel a bit sad about that but the hubby says he feels relieved to not have to worry about me in Sydney :(

It seems he has already tried that with no success.
