It's always amusing to watch the 'City' news from here in the bush (The great city spring clean, Sept 25).
I watched in amusement as city folk walked the streets of Sydney with their fragile little respiratory systems sheilded with face masks.
Surely a little Dubbo NSW dust is a lot less harmful than the polluted air you fella's suck in every day.
Wednesdays dust storm is a regular occurrence in the country.
It was torment to watch Sydney's CBD being hosed down, windows of high rise buildings receiving a tender sponge bath and dust covered vehiles lining up to be pampered with the one thing we don't have here - Water.
Imagine how our farmers would kill for the water Sydney wasted washing streets and cars.
Hopefully Wednesdays dusting will remind out city cousins that we are doing it tough out here.
Remember who put your Wheat in Weet-Bix and the beautiful racks of lamb that are served up in metropolitan eateries.
How about you using this as a reality check.
There's life over them there hills - and it's tough.

Morning Vest,i read you blog with interest & took your advice to google the Telegraph.The pictures are quite incredible,it's as if your whole part of the world has been given a sepia effect & i also read that a second front is moving in,i hope you haven't been affected to much & the clen up goes well,but i suspect you'll be finding red dust everywhere for a long time to come.News from the old country is that your brother in law became a member of the octogenarian club last weekend,i know he was pleased to talk to you & Rose,he had anice meal with family & friends on the day & on Tuesday Christine took him to the West End to see Phantom of the Opera,then he came to stay with us in Dover for a couple of days,during which we visited Folkstone harbour,i took some pictures & will email them soon as i seem to remember you telling me you lived there as a boy for a short while & you remember going down to the harbour for a bucket of dabs.Love to Rose & take care.

Steve: I would have been about five years of age when living folkstone, poor as church mice during the depression, the fishermen would give us the small ones that they were unable to sell. We would have eaten the heads as well if we were hungry.

The Last Post

-
I am sorry to say this blog will soon have its final post, this post may be my last.  I would like to say "Thank You" to all of you nice people with whom I have been in blog contact over the past sixteen years. Unfortunately, my health issues have become worse over the past two weeks, my mobility is at its lowest point; and I become dizzy after a couple of paces, I am using oxygen permanently. It feels like I  am falling apart; I have Kidney - Heart - Lung and Bladder problems, plus many other add ons to stir the mix. I am still living? at home, where I have a comfortable environment and the necessary assistance,. I do not sleep well; probably due to loss of body activity.  My eldest son Christopher will be the person to inform you of my final time on earth.  I need to lay down for a while right now. My best wishes to you all. Vest Daily Gaggle, AKA.  Leslie John Bowyer.

OPEN FORUM. This is a new concept in blogging.

In future ALL posts on this Site will have a section to be known as 'OPEN FORUM. this is to be introduced as from now and a reminder of this promulgated at each time a new post arrives. Open Forum comments are not restricted to the current post, however, it would be advisable not to retro too far into the archives. When referring to comments in archives, you will be advised to mention the post and it's date. Open forum comments Shall Not relate to the current posts, and must be headed 'Open Forum. Open talk opens the way to further talk, as does wine or love, and a little bit of gossip is good for the soul, another good thing about gossip is that it is within every ones reach. The more the pleasures of the body fade away, the greater to me is the pleasure and charm of conversation.
