give over with fishing for compliments
Kim Afraid I'll have to!
I've done some researching, but can't find any reference to a fish species called "compliments", so it must be an extinct species, in these waters anyway! 
Although I did manage to hook a few piranhas recently, vicious, so chucked them back.! 
I don't care what people think of me. At least Mozzies find me attractive

Hi Rufus. Watched the Eurovision Song Contest, so pleased the show is back on, not because I’m a fan, but it makes me feel as though things are slowly getting back to normal. Last year it was unbelievably scaring when the Venice Carnival was cancelled first, followed by other major events, including the Olympics. We knew we were in serious trouble then. With most people now vaccinated, we can look forward to start living and travelling again. The weather is quite cold for end of May, even by UK standards, but warmer weather is forecasted. On this happy note I say bye for now. Take care x 
Hello Again; Been ever so busy lately, what with one thing and another!
Researched a new microwave on line; free delivery any day now; some organisations make life difficult; “Open an account; think up a strong password that nobody else has used”, all because I want to spend $20’ I got to the very end of one, hit “Pay Now” then it disappeared! No money extracted from my bank, so shopped elsewhere with no hassles.
Btw; microwave cost a bit more than that!
Also been trying to repair “Jokes” thread after damage caused by trolls and HQ. who apparently can’t remove evidence that a message has been deleted; so that anyone new on the scene wonders what’s been going on. The thread looks a mess and not a good advert. Yet a complete thread can be “taken down” in a flash!
Life here hasn’t changed much. Lovely late Autumn weather; warm , sunny days, 18C Chilly mornings 6C No rain, but heavy dews.
A reminder that Covid has not gone away. Tomorrow will see the start of a 2 week blitz by police on public transport now that patronage is slowly increasing; a $200 fine for not wearing a mask.
What’s not increasing is the take-up rate of the first jab amongst the elderly.
A few days ago 33% weren’t interested because of blood clots then some medicos claimed that a better vaccine (Moderna, I think) would be available at the end of the year, so it was inevitable that some decided to hang on.
Nobody has asked me to say Yea or Nay yet. Too old to save I guess! 
So; talk of Kane joining City saying he would love to play alongside Kevin!
I wonder what Pep thinks of that!?
Rob Bell presented another very interesting programme in his famous bridges series; this time the Severn bridge. It’s incredible what workers had to suffer during these engineering feats’’
An interesting diversion was provided by Rob and two others surfing upstream.
Apparently the record distance on one wave is over 9 miles! Awesome!
European Song Contest; Aussie entry was recorded a month ago because of Covid, but it never got far. The Italian entry wasn’t much chop in my opinion; noisy, tuneless; nothing like the good old days of 1974 when ABBA won with “Waterloo”
We travelled with Swiss railways up the Matterhorn last evening; a repeat but well worth it.
How are things with everything? I assume you all went out and splurged to boost the economy last Monday!?
Mellina, my present nurse, went up State with a friend to Bright, well known for its Autumn “fall’ of leaves.
In order to stimulate the economy in tourist areas, hit hard by the lack of visitors, the Govt. is giving out $200 vouchers for visitors, provided you also kick in $400 and stay a minimum of 2 days. Not a bad deal!
Oh well[ Monday tomorrow and another busy day searching the Internet trying to spend more of my pension that’s been piling up thanks to Covid.
Believe it or not, my Air Fryer, purchased a year ago, has been out of its box for a few days and I’ve already lost its instruction manual, complete with some recipes, but fear not, there are plenty on YouTube, some even with video; so what can go wrong?
Good Health
