Another Witzig pic, this time of Noosa, McTavish watching. Note car. Note board. Note empty line-up. We feel the envy, those of us who were there.

    not related to this post but going back a couple of months … spent a couple of days in the Hunter this week and while we were away someone must have fiddled with our newish Samsung Smart TV (we’re in an extended family dual residence).

    anyway, SHE’S GONE … you know who I’m talking about. My wife and I had tried every trick in our book to throttle her and her droning voice but to no avail.

    keeping our fingers crossed …
