Ag there are parts that suck and parts that are really beautiful. Our gov is going to the dogs as well and sometimes it feels a bit hopeless. But fortunately I still have it better than most. And there is so much beauty and enjoyment in this little coastal city. Very hard to find a place talhat can compare. 8f you grow up being street smart, it's like second nature. And I have lots of friends and family who have loved, but they always come back and say the same thing, it's hard to get this elsewhere.
Tourist visit and do some crazy shit though. Like this dude left his kid in the pram and went running after his other kid on the jungle gym. In a busy beach area. Chances are nothing would happen, but nobody is watching your kid and shit could go down pretty fast. It's different if it was a chilled park, but not a busy beach front with so much foot traffic. I obvs told him to not do that here, and he was pretty shocked! Not sure how this would go down in Australia?
Good plan re Plantis. I know someone who had this and actually had to have it cut out! So ultrasounds, injections and tika treatments sound chilled. Good luck though. I hope it heals up fast and causes you minimal issues.
I tell you what, I'll take the first round following you on the scooter and show you how it's done!
This is a lot happening before the big showdown. And you seem like such a chilled person. Is this what Stockholm syndrome feels like? 🤔
It's of constant amazement to me how an entire country's government can be so irresponsible. I guess that's what greed does, entitlement too...Funds redirected from where they're needed to line people's pockets instead. Shameful.
Hmm, the kid situation you mention, it's probably less of an issue here, generally, although I'd probably not do it myself. (I'm not a parent but I imagine that I'd not do something like that.) It's generally quote safe here though. I have a bad habit of leaving my Oakley's and phone on the table when I go to order at the counter (cafe's) - a bad habit. I've not lost my stuff, but I'll admit that I do it less and less now, only maybe in places I frequent often. We have our issues though, with crime and the government as well. Organised motorcycle gang crime is rampant. I sometimes wonder if I'm watching the decline into chaos and I have to say that I believe I am. Sad, Australia used to be an amazing place and I was proud to have been born here. Now, the essence of the place feels somewhat diluted, if you get my meaning.
I'm hoping to avoid any operations on my foot. One of my brothers had his opened up and it wasn't nice. I'll likely have ESWT which is what I had last time. It hurts but was effective. I'll combine it with tikka chicken treatment and I'll be as good as old in no time.
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that involves delivery of shock waves to injured soft tissue to reduce pain and promote healing.
Bloody hell, now I'm in for it. I accept though, it'll set the benchmark for me so I'll no how full-on to go when it's my turn.
I like to think I am, although I'm often far too hard on myself and others, don't smile enough and am too serious too much. I try to temper it. Basically I'm just your typical knucklehead type trying to get through life the best I can.
