Hi , Rick Sharp here ,happy to have just joined but l have been following for some time now anyway so l am familiar with the daily update posts.

May l also bring to your attention a current new almost believable email scam l received yesterday , 27 th at 2 pm .The email said it was from
Mygov and carried Aust Govt logo,s and said Fed Govt was to pay a new energy rebate of 500AUD. and included a sign up page attachment with a fill in form for our
personal details required to
Apply.

So if it sounds to good to be true always dig deeper l almost got into trouble

All the very best and stay safe

Hello all, I am Dimitri but friends call me Dim. 66 years young, (where did all that time go), single and a musician, computer geek and all round techno tinkerer. Love my gadgets! Well it was suggested I say hello so here it is ... "HELLO!"

I have been a muso all my life and spent many years busking & performing gigs all around Melbourne, particularly at Southbank where I made a lot of busking friends. I haven't been for awhile as it takes a lot of energy to gather all the equipment, haul it in my car boot down to Narre Warren train station, jump the city train, drag my gear and (bigger than I need) busking amp on a collapsible trolley behind me with two guitars in tow. Takes about 30 minutes to set up, play for about 6 or 8 hours all the while avoiding the mongrel council bylaws officers who hassle you to move every two hours! You only have to move "three shop fronts" distance, so it means dragging connected gear about 30 metres to the other end of the grassed area just down from the footbridge leading to Flinders Street.

Okay that's me. Doubt anyone will actually read this to its end but if you do say hi. No such thing as a stranger only friends you haven't met yet!

Dim

Oh my goodness, @Dimitri Milewicz! We have something in common. I looove music too and used to do gigs around my university. Welcome to the SDC! It's an absolute pleasure to have you here

 

[Sethia Soliman]

Hello, I'm Rose and a new member

Welcome to the forum, @Jully! Please share a few more things about yourself if you're willing! We love getting to know more about the new members.

 

[Sethia Soliman]

Although I have only just registered as a ‘member’ I feel as if I have been one for ages as I sit and read the daily posts with a cuppa every day. I live on the Mornington Peninsula, volunteer at a support unit also at an op shop and I am obsessed with my garden! Have quite a few grandchildren who like most other grandparents get great joy from them.Just looking forward to some warm weather now as I am rather over the cold !

This is SOOO sweet! We're glad to know that you've finally decided to join the forum. Thank you for taking the time to drop by and introduce yourself. It's lovely e-meeting you. Welcome aboard!

 

[Sethia Soliman]

Hi everyone, I’m thrilled to be part of this amazing group. Such good news on shopping ideas, clever cleaning ideas which is always welcome to make cleaning easier. Best wishes to you all for making this a pleasure each day to read . Trish .

 

[TrishH]

Hi everyone, my name is Trish and I am really happy to be a ‘new’ member although my favourite way to start the day for a while now has been to read the newsletter and work my way through the fun & games. I am a retired nurse and feel like I’m living the dream. I have been married to my second husband for 13 years and we have 5 children between us, one adorable grandchild and another on the way. We have 2 elderly dogs & a very active 8 month old kitten. I love going to the movies, watching TV when I do my knitting or crocheting & I love to sing. Life is pretty good right now!
