I wonder……
Were they ever on sale at full price – are they not selling as quickly as the company hoped – or was the ‘discount price’ a marketing ploy from the minute they were placed on the supermarket floor?????
I wonder….
Why the city was barely visible through a murky haze when it was fairly sunny day in the eastern suburbs? I know Andrew can see the hills from his high rise ……if I’d known which one he lived in I would have waved….
Up there that day on Mount Dandenong at the SkyHigh it was cloudy at times with a fresh breeze……
It was a school holiday week so the car park full – the place packed to the rafters with families
Years ago it was the place to go on a hot day, – 15min drive up the hill from home – a ‘cheap’ economical family activity. A bottle of fizzy drink and a packet of chips to share, byo chairs to sit by the car while the youngsters explored the bush walks round the back of the building, unlimited time in the cooler air looking down on the suburbs, recognising main roads and landmarks (eg factories – footy ovals…..even the watery coastline of bayside beach suburbs ).
Things change, no free entry now ( double the charge in school hols! ). If you live within 10kms free entry – our street down the hill in Kilsyth is 11kms!! Trees have grown so only distant views, certainly not uninterrupted as was the claim for many years…..unless you could edge your way past all the kids to get a spot at the railings to look out on the upper level
The beautiful upstairs dining room with floor to ceiling windows is now for functions only
There was a bl……great big jumping castle on the grassy area. I’ve just begun to accept that screaming kids now get on my nerves, especially those with parents who don’t keep an eye on them
Yes I know I’m a grumpy old woman😊
Not everyday – just some days – like today
Possibly due to this👇
Just wondering….
Why this looks so simple. When your back and legs are not happy……wayward shopping trolleys have a lot to answer for……it’s not that easy to get down and dirty on the floor. Mind you the torso on this chart showing the position of the sciatic nerve exiting the spine explains how it can be compromised by the narrowing of the discs due to lumbar stenosis. Yes it can be a pain in the backside – literally as well as figuratively
I wonder what silly little things you are wondering about this week?

If I had to get down on the floor to do those exercises…. forget it, especially if you’re hurting. Can you do them lying on the bed. A standing stretch, OK. Perastika. A sort of may it be all over and done with quickly.
The chocolate bunnies? I bet it’s a market ploy to rid of them all before Easter because afterwards they’ll have to lower the price even more to get rid of them.
Ahhh, lovely choccy bunnies!

I vote for a marketing ploy. I read somewhere (but of course forget where) that the easter chocolates we consume where often made up to eighteen months ago.
Getting down to the floor is a challenge for me. Getting up again a bigger one. And that is without exercises while I am down there.

if you are suffering from sciatica I’m not surprised you have grumpy days and wish some folks would explain to kids what respectful use of public spaces means.

I had hip flexor issues a while back and I was doing some get down on the floor stretches as well… it’s not the getting down, it is absolutely the getting back up that is the problem! I really hope you find some ease for your sciatica and soon! I have managed to avoid those “Easter” things at the market… our waistlines are happy about that!

I doubt the eggs were ever full price. They are constantly trying to manipulate us. I cannot work out when Cherry Ripes are on special if they are good value as they seem to come in so many different sizes.
I was little surprised at the cost of parking when I visited last year but the gardens are much nicer than they used to be. I can work out where my building is from Mount Dandenong, but not my individual building. I didn’t know about the free entry for locals.

I also vote for a marketing ploy. I hope your sciatica feels better soon. I do some of those exercises every day because of a back injury years ago. I’m with Kat, it’s not getting down but getting back up that is a challenge. I’m wondering why a national drug store chain sells so much candy and soda while at the same time promoting over the counter and prescription medicines for good health.
