    From Avon@21:1/101 to All on Saturday, December 07, 2019 09:40:33
    Hey guys, I'm about and in between doing house chores I'm working on HPT this morning. Trying to tackle some links config and routing stuff today.
    Hope you're all well and the Friday/Saturday is going well.
    My wife is out of town visiting her mum, I'm at home with my youngest
    daughter, this morning so far I've opened the house up for airing, fed the pets, cleaned the kitchen, emptied out the dead and dying contents of a
    fridge crisper vege bin, picked up some dog poo (pets are fun aren't they?), emptied the rubbish bin, second load of washing is on now, watered some
    plants in the kitchen :) Phew

    It's just after 9.30am..

    My youngest son came around for a quick visit, looks like he's unwell and heading to the doctors, it may be tonsillitis he thinks - the joys..

    Best, Paul

    Over on this side it is 6:30pm Friday evening.. Just got home from work a few minutes ago and cracked open a beer. Very happy to complete another work week and hope to get some relaxation in this weekend.

    Starting to look like Christmas over here as it has been cold for awhile now and we have put all the lights outside last weekend. Christmas tree is also done. Still need to do the train.

    Naturally, all these are connected to my home automation so no manual intervention is needed. :)

    Have a great weekend!

    My weekend is off to a good start, with a volunteering stint at Parkrun. I'm about to have lunch, before heading to the track for the local pentathlon championships. Looks like a 5 way contest in my age group, but I am in with a decent chance. My 200m form will definitely cause a lot of damage, and I should be able to do OK in the 1500 on fitness. My long jump has been fairly consistent lately at 4.2-4.3m, and my discus is way ahead of previous years. The javelin is my weakest event. :)

    Tomorrow, I will be doing some linemarking on a road - the road is used for training fire brigade competitions and tome of the track markings have been work by traffic. And after that, catching up with someone for coffee. c[_] ;)

    Morning, Paul. I am having some issues connecting with 21:1/10 this
    morning via binkd. I just tried telneting to agency.bbs.nz on port 24557
    and did not get a response. Hope all is well and this is just a part of
    the maintenance you are working on. :)

    Morning,

    Right now, Paul is without internet, due to a fibre getting cut upstream from him. Not sure how long he'll be down.

    Nice :)

    I've just bought an Amazon Echo Plus and a Echo Show 5 and have been playing with a Zigbee enabled Phillips smart bulb, so baby steps but certainly fun.

    Have got our lights and Christmas tree up also, unlike your climate it should be warming up here but it still seems very springlike with settled days then spells of wind and rain for more days. Today feels cold and it's been that
    way for about 4-5 days on the bounce :(

    Hope you had a nice weekend.

    Sounds like you had a busy one Tony. Trust it all went well.

    The rest of mine was spent juggling a sick dog and getting the house in order for my wifes return on Sunday evening. We went out to the airport to get here and the weather turned on strong winds and a thunderstorm ... not fun.

    Today feels like it should be Wednesday but it's only Tuesday night. The days are dragging by and I am hanging out for some days off / holidays after 24 December... they can't come soon enough.

    Oh I saw some coverage of the snow on the slopes of our Southern Alps being covered in pink/brown dust... it's all blown over here from the fires in your country. Crazy huh?

    Hi there... delayed reply... just playing catch up... it was a fibre outage that took my home out for around 12 hours but all back up now :)

    Was a fairly good weekend. :) As for the pentathlon, I did run a good 200m, and my 1500m was a PB. Did a lot of damage with those 2 events. Sadly, my field events were a bit ordinary and that cost me second place. I had to settle for third.

    The rest of mine was spent juggling a sick dog and getting the house in order for my wifes return on Sunday evening. We went out to the airport

    Yeah it's been a bit rough on your side of the ditch.

    Today feels like it should be Wednesday but it's only Tuesday night.

    holidays after 24 December... they can't come soon enough.

    Well, I've just found out that I'm out of work next year, short of a miracle. Even though it was only 1 day/week, it did make a big difference.

    Oh I saw some coverage of the snow on the slopes of our Southern Alps being covered in pink/brown dust... it's all blown over here from the fires in your country. Crazy huh?

    Yeah. It's been pretty quiet around here lately, we seem to keep dodging bullets. :)

    Sorry about your volcano. Is the wind blowing away at this time of year or is it putting a haze over the island? I hope they find the missing people. Caught the news this morning, it doesn't look good. Was hoping it was people that didn't check in or something.
