Just gotten back from our ANZAC Day Dawn service to remember our fallen, returned and current defence force personnel. It was my first one, I've participated in different parades & ceremonies over the years but this was my first dawn service and I really enjoyed it. They had a jet & some vintage planes fly over. I have some photo's below.

derailleur limits need readjusted

Not feeling good today....

may I suggest a little drop of "black sabbath"

Good to be home after the M40/M42/M6 on a Friday afternoon, forgotten what hell that could be!

Have I overworked Photoshop today or something? Stupid program is running slow.

Jameson & Coke did the trick ;)

My thought right now is that a really, really, really want a Jameson & Coke. Since I can't afford the Jameson, it will just be Diet Coke for me

Heathens, bloody heathens...................the only thing you put with Jamesons is another one!!!!

Maybe on a day where I am actually aiming to get off my chops lol

another family funeral,never easy when you lose a family member...

very true, sorry for your loss

I'm just happy as heck it's Saturday ... ANNNND ... yesterday I bought my ticket to see 'Imself in myyyy hometown !!! ... :cheer: ...

I am as well, B~barb ... xo

Sorry to hear, my thoughts are with you.

thankyou all,its my uncle ,my mums brother and what makes it worse my mum is in early stages of dementia so that makes it hard as well dealing with both,but we are a close family which helps a lot

I didn't know that about your mom, B-barb and I'm sorry to hear ... It must be so hard on and sad for you... You're blessed you belong to a close-knit family ... xo

yea thanks Sue,we are coping at the moment so hard when you see someone change so much though

it does help me cope though with having the grandchildren they are such a blessing ,i love them so much and at least my mum has seen them and can still remember them at the moment (Just ,maybe not their names lol ) as my dad only saw my eldest daughter as he died when i was 21,but my stepdad is brilliant thank god

OH, my father passed when I was 22 years old ... Jan 1973 ... I was married for just a few months (and my parents hadn't been fond of the man at all... he's an X now ... lol ... ) and my dad was just the greatest guy ... I feel sad around the times of the anniversary of his birth and death that I didn't get to know him adult to adult and that my daughter never got to know the truly kind, funny, good guy who was her grandfather ... That's great that you get on well with your step ! ... My mother dated a man from within a year after my dad's death until her own in 1980 ... After her passing the family lost touch with the man ... xo

the gears have beaten me :(

first hair cut since sept :(

the new song is a real grower :D

At least no rain today

it was a fantastic sunset tonight, and now a beautiful moon :)

Is today bier festival day in Deutschland?

today is the "walpurgisnacht"
this is from wiki:
Walpurgis Night (Walpurgisnacht) is a traditional spring festival on 30 April or 1 May in large parts of Central and Northern Europe. It is often celebrated with dancing and with bonfires. It is exactly six months from All Hallows' Eve.
The current festival is, in most countries that celebrate it, named after the English missionary Saint Walpurga (ca. 710–777/9). As Walburga was canonized on 1st of May (ca. 870), she became associated with May Day, especially in the Finnish and Swedish calendars. The eve of May day, traditionally celebrated with dancing, came to be known as Walpurgisnacht ("Walpurga's night").
The German term is recorded in 1668 by Johannes Praetorius as S. Walpurgis Nacht or S. Walpurgis Abend. An earlier mention of Walpurgis and S. Walpurgis Abend is in the 1603 edition of the Calendarium perpetuum of Johann Coler, who also refers to the following day, 1 May, as Jacobi Philippi, feast day of the apostles James the Less and Philip in the Catholic calendar.
The 17th century German tradition of a meeting of sorcerers and witches on May Day is influenced by the descriptions of Witches' Sabbaths in 15th and 16th century literature.

Happy Happy Walpurgis Night !

Today is a chocolate kinda day.... gimme all your chocolate!

I have a big bar of chocolate sat on the table staring at me right now. ;)

There's several packets of mini-candy bars sitting here on the coffee table... Help yourself ... they belong to husband... and as soon as he opens them... several will find their way to my mouth... NOT GOOD !!! ... lol ... xo

bored! :tired:

~~~~ing itunes :evil:

finally got the app

i do love power oversteer

I think its time for a change.

Just listened to Meat Loaf's last YouTube video. The first question sounded like the title of one of Wario's polls. :))

changes up and down beautifully :D

patience and persistance pays off

(and backing a limit screw off less than one quarter of one turn)

RESULT

Sarge... was that the one with the bear and the ... what... lion was it ? ... lol ... I thought for SURE WarieL asked that one ... lol ...

Still find it hard to believe that I was so close to Meat when I look at my Meet & Greet pic. I still haven't washed that shirt. It's sort of a Big Bang Theory moment, when Sheldon gets the napkin that Lenard Nemoy used "I have the DNA of Lenard Nemoy!!"

Don't worry, no plans of cloning ha ha

i should treat myself to another vinyl album :)

i dont think ive EVER had the misfortune to have to deal with such a shit phone and such a shit operating system and shitty software before...

it is really in danger of getting hit very very hard with a hammer!!!

Yes. :lawl:

4 hours off my life gone forever nursing a shitty phone through its updates

So much for modern technology allegedly making everything easier, faster and more convenient...

What a lovely day.... oh yes, and there's the kick in the guts.

Now that's it's working perfectly again after its updates, I love my phone :)

Aint that the way ? ... lol ... I'm glad for ya ! ... and THRILLED for MEEE !!! The ticket for the meatie show at the Tower in Philly, PA USA has arrived !!! ... xo

Bought mum & grandma's mother's day presents (nothing like last minute shopping) photo frames for both with some nice pics in each, bottle of wine and lotto ticket for mum, ticket to see the Mary Poppins musical with me for grandma

I really really want to go to New Zealand. Looks amazing!

Don't, Pudding's there lol

The decision of what's for dinner was put out there ~ meatloaf or meatballs and pasta with sauce... The balls won hands down ... lol ... hmmm ...

Decided to move my stereo from the bedroom (where it never gets used) to the living room, and have been listening to CDs this afternoon, instead of my iPod... Catching up with loads of favourite choons I'd forgotten I have!

I need to figure out how to move mine from livingroom... where it's never used... to kitchen ... lol ... I have lots of cassettes to which I'd love to listen !!!

did you notice any improvement in sound reproduction quality going back to cd??

have you tried a back to back listening of the same song, one an itunes download, the other the actual cd recording?
