8.12pm 3.5 Hello.....

We were watching the Walking Dead, it was 8.12pm and we both heard what sounded like distant thunder, but it became louder.

We live in an interesting little ecosystem here on the Sunshine Coast and the supermarkets play a little game with loss leaders.

We worked it out, about 25 double meals for less than fifty bucks, all cooked in the same oven over a two hour period. It was stew for tea tonight, sirloin tip instead of stewing beef, melt in the mouth goodness.
