All safe thanks John.  I'm a city dweller these days, so a fair way from the danger normally.  I'm away at the moment though, and in a fire danger zone, there's nothing too close at the moment though.  We're keeping an eye on them, and we have a fir plan that invoilves running away at high speed

I went through the Ash Wednesday bushfires back at home, never seen someting so terrifying or powerfull.  I've stayed well away since.

This years are freaking huge fires.  To give some perspective, the Amazon rainforest fires this year hvave burned a reported 2.24 million acres.  California had their worst year ever last year, with 1.9 million acres burning.  To date, this season in Australia has lost just over 12 Million acres.

Aus is a big place, but it's going to be a bad year for fires...

I agree.

I don't think this forum software does petitions/polls, but if it did I would start one up to request that Craig continues the thread.

Ah the pool

back to where we started. 
 

well done Craig. 
I have to say my favourites were the skydiving. 
so far removed from anything I’ve done. Very impressed. Not something I could do I don’t think.

I’m flattered, and I could easily go again, but seriously, half the time it’s just me bored and stuck at work.

Oh, we can do polls too, you just start a new topic, and choose poll at the top of the page in stead of post.

Surely there’s a category for over weight over 50’s with bad knees chucking themselves at the water...

We used to play one in Africa which involved bombing. Marking was on highest splash or most water out of the pool......

.......usually won by the “widest load” and I don’t think you qualify there, even right after Christmas!

Hello Craig

This was our son in 2018 in Portugal (he made a fair old splash as well)

Perhaps not the daily grind, Craig, but in your professional and scooter activities, we lost sight of your sky diving.    As one who considers that stepping out of an aircraft that is not on the ground is crazy beyond brave, I'd love to see/know more!

Not dead.  Just working.  Every bloody day.  If I posted photos here, they'd just have been of my office in the burb's or of my new office at my other job in the city.  Or of me asleep at my desks...

 

I'm hoping to slow down at the end of the week.  

 

And I really really need a skydive.  

 

Will try to post a few interesting photo's here if I do something fun.

P.S. John, the fires came our way, and we ran away as promised!
