Good news and bad news.
Good news is there is no sign of pigeon lung, so the birds don''t have to go.
Bad news is the lung disease has got worse. Well I didn't need a specialist to tell me that. I now have severe emphysema. So a non medical way of putting it is, I am pretty buggered. However we had a chat and I told her the last inhaler she gave me was not as effective as the old one in my case. So she put me back on the old one and made an appointment to see her in December.
So she must think I will still be here in 6 months. That's gotta be good news

That’s good news Murray. Good to see they’re looking to see you again in six months. Mind you the doctor who saw mum on the Friday had made an appointment to see her again 8 weeks later. She died the following Wednesday.

Thanks. Very encouraging.....

Biden is $3.00.
I said to Catherine, if I can find $1.90 somewhere, it's probably a very good bet.
It's got nothing to do with how horrible Trump is, it's how hopeless Biden is.
Probably need to get on soon before it shortens.....

Just saw that Trump has shortened to $1.62 and Biden is still about $3.00. Need to get motivated and get on.....

Got a phone call from David yesterday, about half a dozen of the Bendigo blokes had a club training toss from 45 kilometres. A big liberation he said, and 77 of his 90 something where on the drop, and he was 2 out when he called me.
First race next Saturday and if the weather is okay all 12 of mine are going. I will go into town and watch them come home.

later I got a text message, a youngster by his top Heremans cock, Hawkeye, had placed near the top in the one loft race in Adelaide, South Australia.
My Billion Dollar Baby and the Trillian Baby are off him, and I have a blue bar cock by him, Road Runner, who is the spitting image of him.
The Road Runner got his name because last year when he was a yearling he paired up and took a nest box. When they were out he was going in and out, finding twigs and things, then running flat out back into the loft! I let him pick a mate last year because he was a late bred and still pretty young.
This year I'll find a suitable mate for him.

The loft is finished at St Arnaud, I just have to put the small stock shed back up, that won't take long. Really looking forward to getting the birds back in their house.

Really good news Murray, i need to find out more of this OLR over there. I hope you have a great weekend.

Thanks Devo.

Cold here this morning. Clear sky and hard frost. The outside tap is is frozen solid.
The boys went outside for about five minutes then all came back in again. Too cold for pussy cats......

The boys are not keen on this winter thing....
