Before we jump into this week’s roundup, I want to give a shoutout to all the @ bigpond.com email account subscribers that are visiting us for the first time. Telstra has now whitelisted this publication so you will start receiving it each week. Thanks to the team at telstra for helping me get the issue resolved.

Also: I’m hearing whispers that the new Narre Bunnings store could be opening as early as next week. Trucks have been busy delivering stock to the new store and shelves at the old store are being stripped bare. But I haven’t been able to get official word, so we’ll have to wait and see.
