Wake up call from Crocodile Mick

This morning we were having a lay in as us oldies like to call a 7.30 am wake up,when Sheila heard the phone,Crocodile Mick was on the line from Australia,he likes to wake us up every couple of years,we put him on the speaker and listened to an interesting number of Australian words (which were of a colourful nature) emanating from the antipodes.
The upshot is he has sold his busines to live a bit,and is threatening us with a visit,along with his dear wife, it seems he has just been out on the boat fishing and moored up at his dockside workshop,so decided to rouse us from our slumbers,(around 6.30pm Oz time)
He is giving me plenty of notice so I can lay in a stock of beer!I am not sure if his wife knows of his plans so the beer purchase is temporarily suspended.
He invited us to Oz but says he will probably come here because I am a ***** ****!! and not likely to visit Oz,his vocabulary lends itself well to lively discourse.
Today the weather has changed completely and its glorious sunshine,washing is on the line and blowing gently in our version of a breeze.
Montana is on a rant on his blog,he is a little upset at the electoral system in place in the USA,but this is a good sign as it takes his mind off organic matters,and the eating of chocolate bars,checking how much Mary Sue has saved on purchases, and counting his money.
That's all for now Graham

If Mick comes to visit I might try to time a visit home at the same time.
