Great pics.Okay, looks like I can still get codes using my laptop (though not on my phone). Here are some that I took.
Diamond Head Light House. If you zoom in between the light house and the keeper's quarters you will see a destroyer putting out to sea.

Wow! That looks inviting Dave.
I was just wondering where you were, and how you were doing, today WillI can remember moving slower when I lived in hotter climes
That's slower than I moved THEN, not slower than I move NOW!
Nice presentation of your Flat-cap Lamb there, what's the background?
Very interesting.Thanks, Jack. Fortunately or unfortunately, all is about the same with me!
The background. About 20 years back I was helping this old woman, who I was renting an efficiency from, clean out her freestanding garage for a reduction in that month's rent. I seem to attract old people like a freshly dead armadillo does buzzards.
She had worked in advertising and design and remained "artsy" into her advanced age. She was also an incorrigible pack rat. Her garage was filled with all kinds of neat stuff - books on typography, esoteric drafting tools, dried-up tubes of paint, myriad plastic cups full to bursting with hundreds of worn-out paintbrushes, and more.
Amongst it all was a mildewed navy-blue cardboard box embossed with "PLEXIGLASS® SAMPLE SET." True to its claim, the box contained a whole bunch of these little squares of Plexiglass in all different colors, opacities, and textures. The colorful half of the stack is shown here, the other half are mostly whites, blacks, greys, and beiges. The box, sadly, deteriorated entirely.
As an artist, I've always struggled with using color. I know the theories, but it all feels very formulaic. These little squares help me find happy color combination accidents that I might not have come up with otherwise. Throw some on the desk, swish them around like little tarot cards, find a color pairing you hadn't thought of before. More swishing. That's it.
Nice photo of your GL Mitch.Afternoon all
It's a small world, different cafe but thr barista was 1 of my favourites that used to work at the old cafe, left ages ago. Always made a great coffee still does

I was talking to Hisham, the owner of Charlie's cafe yesterday, and he was talking about a re-vamp and a name change. Since it isn't OFFICIALLY called 'Charlie's', I'll be petitioning hard!
The sun is struggling to come out, but it could go either way, we've had plenty of showers this week, some of them heavy, and some more than showers Hopefully, it'll satisfy the whingers for a bit! My workload has been almost non-existent, which suits me fine, so when I've had a shave, I'll be walking down to Charlie's I reckon, then probably head into town, maybe get a haircut, or just do some lollygaggin' 
Have a great day Guardians I'm hanging onto the GL-24 
Thanks Bob, it is closer so I'll try and get there.Nice photo of your GL Mitch.
Glad you found a replacement for your coffee break.

Tea and crumpets with VegemiteGood morning Guardians, I've just had my morning tea, Yorkshire of course, and some buttered pikelets, which is what crumpets were called here until Big Business and the march of Southern Imperialism trampled them underfoot
