Anyone missing a flamingo?
Reminded me of this, from Aussieblue’s era:
Quote:
He found a tiger's head one day
Nailed to a piece of wood
The tiger looked quite miserable
But I suppose he should
Just them from out the window
A voice began to wail
He said "oi, where's me tiger's head?"
"Four foot from 'is tail!"

Walked out to the car this morning to find brilliant sunshine from the east and a rain shower coming in from the west, producing a rainbow that framed the gums out the front nicely.

Speaking about trees,
saw this the other day in a back street in St Marys, SA.

I've seen some big trees before in Tassie, but to see one this big in the middle of a road, way cool.

When my French gearbox went “BANG” and the motor stopped, I feared the worst - skipped timing and bent valves.

In fact, the motor stopped because the crank sensor - triggered off the flywheel back edge - had been destroyed by shrapnel dragged around with the ring gear. So I only need a gearbox!

…And a new crank sensor. I’m bitterly disappointed this only lasted 34 years.
