Got my Amazon delivery tonight

But I still think my neighbours are dirty thieves

My first Amazon overseas order cleared customs this morning - now to hope they can deliver to the right address

It should be fine. Stuff ups can happen, I've had 2 so far this year though lol - being delivered to the wrong address on Friday... and back in January I ordered a movie, it came.... packaging was fine, the picking slip inside the envelope was correct, the barcode on the movie cover was the movie I ordered....... the actual movie itself was not what I ordered. Plus I ordered a 4K disc and was sent a bluray LOL.

Other than that it's been OK, sometimes their delivery window can be off. Like I've had some good outcomes where I've imported things and they've arrived days or nearly 2 weeks earlier than they originally said. But I've also had a few things arrive LATER. But overall still good.q

I use Amazon a bit each year (maybe 10-15 times every year?).

 

[Over The Post]

On Mum's farm. Sheep and cows = sheep and cow shit = flies. A plague of flies.



Have to leave the doors open to get some air in here, and in come the flies. Also two or three times a day in come the fantails to flitter about and get a free feed. Beautiful little birbs, totally unafraid. They also follow me through the paddocks swooping on the insects I stir up while walking.

Came across these little fellas in Cairns. Totally unafraid

Have you read They’re a Weird Mob, by Nino Culotta (John 0’Grady)? Very funny book about an Italian immigrant trying to learn the lingo

I love live concert music as the movie plays. Experiencing JAWS in this format is another bucket list item to tick off!

I would do that for the Blues Brothers

Also Kill Bills would be good. Fantastic soundtrack that one

One of those classic flicks where even the music is instantly recognisable and makes you shit yourself

Godfather

Even National Lampoon's and their music Holiday road ftw

I've seen the Blues Brothers a couple of times with Eddie Floyd singing, fantastic gigs. In Adelaide they showed the movie first and then came on at the end playing Jailhouse Rock.

I saw the first one in England, then the next back in Melbourne. The latter screening, i was so careful picking where and when. I would have gone mental had anyone talked during it. Thankfully everyone was silent tho
