Can't get him to nip him at the moment. You go to the pergola with a chair and he comes over but stays just out of reach and rolls on the roof being cute! If I ignore him long enough he will find something else to do.

Awww, that IS cute!

Folks, HELP! I'm trying to do up my Amazon profile, and it keeps telling me that profanity is not acceptable! WHERE is the profanity???

I'm a writer and avid reader living in Queensland, Australia. I love anything by Anne McCaffrey and Robert Heinlein, and most of Piers Anthony's work. Yup, I'm a sci-fi and fantasy geek :-)

My latest novella, Maisy May, is available in the Kindle Store - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003OUXDE8

Is it the mention of Australia? QUEENsland?

Be careful with "love" maybe its in the greek sense! Is "Yup" profane in the US?

I would redo it and sprinkle liberally with arses and see if that fixes it.

BAHAHAHA!

I discovered the problem through sheer trial and error - the link

Kindle store links are profane.

Actually, there's a kind of logic there...

It's their own farking profanity setting for fark's sake. (carefully using euphamism to avoid MR profanity filter!)

hahahahaha suckers!

Yup. I'm speechless with wonder at their spectacular weirdness.

Right now, relaxing. Finished the major part of the work on the new retaining wall today:

Yay! It's nice to get to the light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel stage, eh?

Looks good and worth a break for you.

I am also relaxing. Having done about 15 minutes of work today, I am hopping into bed (pyjamas are still on) to watch the final episode of lowdown and then I might read the 39 steps and then maybe a nap. I will turn off the computer so I don get any emails.

I don't mind that ongoing little things we're doing...but the big jobs tend to loom, until you actually do them and, as in this case, knock the bulk of it over in a half-day or two.

Okay, if you insist.

So...very...cold (Tewantin has thus far reached a top of 17.5C/63.5F, and I'm not sure it's going to get any warmer).

Us Queenslanders are a weak mob when it comes to cold, hey?

Cheers,

YES. Including me.

I remember moving to Sydney from further down south, and thinking the winters were fantastically WARM. Now I find them freezing.

I've been back to Sydney since moving here, but never in winter. I'm curious as to how I'd cope with their chill. Not very well probably, seeing as I've pretty much thrown out all my warm clothes. Of course, denial doesn't help me up here - I still insist on wearing shorts-and-t-shirt when I should be wearing trackie-daks-and-a-sloppy-joe (finishing up this fashion triumph with a pair of uggies).

Cheers,
Marc

Noice.

Yeah, I discovered that Sydney requires more than short-sleeve T and jumper... and that I didn't have anything else in my wardrobe. Long-sleeve t-shirts???

Now I live in Ipswich, and it's fooking cold in the mornings, and I wear long-sleeve stuff. And it feels WEIRD.

From years 6 to 9 (and a half) of school I lived at Amberley. TL1 still doesn't believe the sub-0C temps I tell him about (Sydney, Observatory Hill, I don't think has ever recorded a sub-0C temperature).

My feeling of weirdness comes with wearing shoes. I don't like it. I don't like it at all.

Cheers,
Marc
