I know what you mean re louder not clearer I guess it's like turning up a radio thats not tuned in properly, really not that great.<br /><br />Well at least you can't hear Scott when he goes on a rant, I think thats when selective hearing comes in handy.......... ;)<br /><br />Fi xxFi.Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08149948132909326473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183484942821961317.post-10543925942172988782012-01-26T23:58:28.933+11:002012-01-26T23:58:28.933+11:00Email received ;-) x

The annoying thing is you can't improve your hearing, unlike eyesight, you can only make what you can hear, louder, not clearer. If you know what I mean. I have hearing aids but they are so frustrating I don't bother with them. Scott loves it though cos it means he get's away with murder when I can't hear what he's talking about LOL xxSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843072284822496590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183484942821961317.post-84911830523219298242012-01-26T22:21:05.644+11:002012-01-26T22:21:05.644+11:00OMG Si,

Paul passes it every day on the way to work. <br /><br />The pictures are from a different part but after I have done a few more miniature posts i will post some pictures that will look more familiar. We share the same coast line. i wont tell you where i am on this but i will leave you my email.<br /><br />That terrible that you had hearing loss as a result of flying, you poor thing. I hope it doesn't cause you too many problems now.<br /><br />Ml Fi xxFi.Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08149948132909326473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183484942821961317.post-58389365686051667612012-01-26T21:44:04.985+11:002012-01-26T21:44:04.985+11:00oh man!!

My Uncle lives in West Brighton, somewhere outside Melbourne LOL. I can't visit anymore as I developed blood clots on my inner ears (lost my hearing in my left ear and its not that good in the right (all very rare aparently)) after a long-hall flight about 5 years ago, so it's good to see the pictures, thanks xxSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843072284822496590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183484942821961317.post-51748935723827855272012-01-26T20:29:09.321+11:002012-01-26T20:29:09.321+11:00Hey Darli'n,

There are life savers in the tower with binoculars watching and t in the jeep. You must swim between the flags as it is chosen as the safest part of the beach to swim.There are dangerous rips in the surf, these are rip currents: narrow, fast-moving belts of water traveling offshore.They can move at a speed of 2 feet per second, so any unsuspecting swimmer can quickly find them selves a long way off shore. Some surf beaches are patrolled for sharks. There is usually a plane or chopper scanning the coast as well as nets and boats. The surf beach i used to holiday on when I was young was known for sharks and the siren would go off regularly and every on would evacuate the water. My sister literally used to run on water when she heard it! LOL<br /><br />The navy an white flags show the surfers they must be outside the flag, as you can imagine having a surf board barreling down on you can be quite dangerous.<br /><br />You know Andy, Aussies will use any excuse to have a public holiday. It is a great day though, Australian flags every where and people celebrating with festivals and events lots of BBQ,music, beer and wine.<br /><br />Now I just checked out your logo and I'm 100% with you!!!! That is horrible, I don't mind it so much when its in the union jack colours, it kind of looks like a crumpled flag, but I understand people not liking it. It doesn't seem very British. I do however like the mascots, I think their cute. I saw the you tube clip explaining their creation, I thought it was lovely.I hate that cringe feeling you get when you know the whole world is watching.<br /><br />Fi xFi.Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08149948132909326473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183484942821961317.post-78108975678767173462012-01-26T06:55:01.437+11:002012-01-26T06:55:01.437+11:00Hi Giac,

Sounds like a good idea, don't think it would work so well here in Britain. I guess I can understand why the native people feel a bit upset, but history is history, you can't change things!<br /><br />We have those blasted Olympics coming up here soon. Honestly, have you seen the logo? and the unlovable characters they created for it? I just want to hide away from the whole thing. Might build a new dolls house!!<br /><br />Have a good journey home, and enjoy Australia day!! ;)<br /><br />xxxAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064247140624108019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183484942821961317.post-54867526597875544172012-01-25T23:49:57.172+11:002012-01-25T23:49:57.172+11:00Hi Fi,
