COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

A medical emergency reported in 'The Daily Mirror.'
"Last Christmas shoppers in a local supermarket were distressed to see an old lady collapse. They gathered round, sympathizing and a doctor, who happened to be passing, correctly diagnosed her as having hypothermia. which was later confirmed, but found to be aggravated by the stolen frozen chicken hidden in her fur hat."

Who discovered Australia ?

Who discovered Australia ?

I think the aboriginals, but I could be wrong- I often am, these days.

Good evening, Bea, grab an armadillo, coffee, piece of cheese and relax.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

The aborigines were the first people there for sure, but who after that ?
It's odd, we don't talk about the original people who live in a place as discovering it, but who finds them there.
Strange.

Captain cook?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

It's funny isn't it? Everyone's taught that. Books say that. But it's massively wrong.
Apart from the aborigines, as Bea mentioned, the Chinese who reached it in 1432.
When James Cook arrived in 1770, not only wasn't he the first, but he wasn't even a Captain, he was a lieutenant.
Nor was he even the first European, the Dutch had got there 150 years before him.
Nor was he even the first Englishman, which was William Dampier in 1688.

Who discovered Australia ?

Some bloke looking for safe passage to Greenland?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Anyway, goodnight, good evening, good morning wherever you may be, I've got to put The Cold Dark Bins out.
See you soon.

3) Absent Ken.
Where've you been, my friend?

My absence of late, started a new job 10 days or so ago, that's going well. I'm in a room with four middle age women that of course like me, so this is good.
To add to my absence, yesterday morning I woke from having a seizure. I have these occasionally. If I were to spend the 10's of thousands of dollars on the tests the doctor wants, he says he may have a reason for them. Sigh. Then, I just found out I'd had one yesterday evening while sleeping/watching the news when he came by. He said he told me then, but I was pretty out-of-it so he felt he needed to tell me today.
I may treat these as miner, BUT, they have a terrifying effect on those I hold dear to my hear. Loved ones in my life, my daughter …, you get the picture.

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

And trust me, I'd so much rather be with my friends and warm embraces here often enough.

Crikey, I certainly do.
Glad about the job and ladies bit, but the rest is pretty grim.
Please try to take care of yourself.
Best wishes and night night.

Bless you.

I'm lucky with these seizures, mine only happen when I'm in bed or asleep. Unfortunately for those new in my life that are close to loving me, they scare the crap out of them and I just sorta have a “shoulder shrug-whatever attitude and that adds to the difficulty. My first exwife thought I'd learned some excellent new moves! LOL LOL LOL I know, I'm bad. We laugh so as not to cry.
