Welcome back. I am sure they will let you start with a clean slate, there are quite a few who haven't been seen for a while so they might of gone anyway, on the other hand i have seen some who were members before my time coming back. It's nice to see POTV becoming a bit more popular and busier.
Nice to see you back mate. Sod the thin-skinned snowflakes.
Thanks guys. I remember you all.
I'll have to think of a new Avatar. My first here was a crazy Chili but I cant find it anywhere on the net!
With covid we were forced out of the town we lived in due to city people leaving from city lockdowns. We were almost homeless. Had tried to find a house for 4 months. The owner of our last waited but was done. Just by chance I met an old friend one day I hadn't seen in years. Told him of our plight and he said "leave it with me". Few weeks later "i got you guys a house in another town, want to see it!?" We were "are you kidding, yeah!"
So here we are, in a tiny town with a post office, pub, bakery and butcher. No house either side or back of us, just open paddocks. Old place, was an old goldrush miners cottage that the owners did up a bit. Built in the 1880s. They did put in an awesome split system heater which is amazing warm thankfully as we get frosts here now in winter that leave my car covered in ice. Rats though, being Aussie bush its full of them. I spent $150 on baits that I rat bombed the perimeter, 10 acres, and also around the old shed and barn area. They were in the roof too but I used an old trick of spraying a full can of surface spray insect repellent into the roof cavity. Doesn't kill them but they hate the smell and exited stage right.
Settling in now.
To be honest, if I hadn't bumped into my friend we'd be homeless for sure. I was about to buy a big tent and camping gear to live in the bush. No joke. Its that bad here now in Central Victoria getting a home.
We are very very thankful I can tell you.
