Tabaluga's

Re: Tabaluga's

@TAB I was in Kal-Boulder back in 1987 - 1989. I lived in Hopkins St Boulder. I moved several times while I was there, the last street I don't even remember now! I worked for Western Mining back when they were still around. They were on Boulder Rd, diagonally opposite KFC. I just had a look at a map of the area and I recognise nothing! 

 

The desert pea, no wonder it's the national flower of South Australia. I am thinking I might make space at the side of my house where the spa currently is. Once the spa is gone I'll plant the desert pea and hope it doesn't take over the side yard lol!

 

 

Re: Tabaluga's

Re: Tabaluga's

yeah it changed a lot even when I was there ok if you include when I was there in 2009

there was the 'earthquake' the Eagle pub got knocked down. they spent a fortune on prettying up old empty shops as well.  coles moved  to near Tafe. still a ton of empty shops. Was getting really busy w fifos couple years ago when I was there last. like 6 or more new mines and processing plants last few years . Smelter finally closed last year think. theres a big workers camp getting built in Boulder . also theres a flash Olympic pool on rd to Airport ok near oconnor st theres an IGA that may not have been there then. most shops in Burt st closed years ago, that dodgey supermarket opposite town hall finally closed , think covid finished a few off. even bottlos were closing lol @ENKELI

@Bill16 hey cool Bill, hope you're going well. A bit stressed here. Take care. Pray for me

 

Re: Tabaluga's

@PeppyPatti feel free to come and rearrange my bedroom! Any time!

 

The spa is being removed, it was an underground one that the previous owners didn't install properly so once I am financial I will be replacing it with an above ground one.

 

 

Re: Tabaluga's

@TAB hey tabby, thank you for care and support. Had a little nap during break. Back at work. Hope things okay for you. Take care. Keep warm

 

Re: Tabaluga's

@TAB I helped build the amphitheatre at the TAFE 😁

 

We used to go the the Boulder Block before it got knocked down, last time I was there the super pit was still in its infancy. The last place I lived was on Gilberton St. I just looked and the house is still the same.

Re: Tabaluga's

@ENKELI  my Retiisi my half of our brain 🧠 won’t let me sleep. Is messing with me. Thank goodness my psychiatrist gave me a prescription to assist with sleep during my HRT transition.

 

I’ve got to go to State of Origin on Wednesday night with my family.

The last time we went I was with the ex-narcissist.

I am close to having a full blown panic attack. atm I’m frozen. I feel ugly and I don’t want to go. I know I’m being irrational.

I hope it’s the lack of a proper sleep schedule.

I will go to chemist for medication, straight after this post.

 

I am also a big fan of Australian native Pea Plants. They are very beautiful and hardy. 

 

Thank you for being my friend Retiisi. Big HUGS 🫂
