Brilliant result, well done NickMurray wrote: ↑Tue Oct 18, 2022 8:45 am In one of the last races of the year, last weekend they flew a 500 mile race. Our local bloke won the Bendigo race with two yearling hens, flying 505 miles in just over 9 hours.
Well done Nick Keirghan, yet again.
Nick is flying extremely well. He is not afraid to race and train them hard, and certainly gets the results.
His pigeons certainly always handle a treat.
Thoughts are with you all especially those who are most at risk.Murray wrote: ↑Tue Oct 18, 2022 8:37 am Where I am it is no problem at all. We live up on a rise and the last time the water came over here, Noah was doing the steering.
Those out on the plains and near the rivers are in trouble. When the country was settled, a couple of hundred years ago, they automatically built beside the rivers. The trouble is, every decade or two, they get a "100 year flood", which by definition, isn't, and it all goes under water.
I feel sorry for the people stacking sand bags. it is a horrible thing to have a river go through your home or business.
Hope you make a quick and full recovery Murray.Murray wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 7:32 pm I felt a bit off colour yesterday morning, shivering and aching and feeling like death.
Of course I still went to work, one of my staff has been away with Covid and we needed to do some stuff. After a coiuple of hours I couldn't even remember what I was trying to do, so they sent me home. I climbed into bed and hour latter I didn't know who my wife was, couldn't remember the names of the cats and hardly knew where I was. I was in massive pain all over.
Oops.
Covid. It is a little worry because I have emphysema and if it got to my lungs I would be in trouble. However I seem to have a cast iron immune system. Slept for 11 hours last night, got up at 6 to feed the cats, made a cup of coffee and I am fine. Bit of a headache, but the coffee is fixing that.
I will have today off to let the body heal itself, and by Monday i should be fine.

Really strange how it continues to affect people, I still have the covid tongue even this week had some gel off doc to try and treat it as up to yet nothing has worked soon be nothing left to tryAndy wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 10:16 pm The strange thing I have after having 4 doses of vaccine and covid a year ago is that I wear an Apple Watch most of the time. Since having had covid sometimes overnight and sometimes during the evenings if just sitting relaxing I get a warning from my watch that my heart rate had dropped below 40 beats per minute for 10 minutes. Never had it before having covid. Goes as low as 35 beats. My heart rate is normally quite low at an average of 58, possibly due to swimming and playing water polo when younger.
