I’m very glad to hear this! Now, when are you getting your jab?  

and and

lol I read about the spiders.  I’m not bothered by spiders, so that doesn’t worry me.  Well, as long as the deadly ones stay outside.
Today was a day of sunshine!  Actually sunshine!  Man that feels good.  Some areas got 1 metre of rain in a 7 day period, which is about 3.3 feet.

omg a plague of spiders and mice! remind me never to visit austraila! but be safe Melrick! guess i wont complain about the weather either

And my friends in NSW posted on FB yesterday, that there’s now also a plague of spiders running away from the flooding…  So, good luck with that, Melrick!

Ah yes, the plague of mice, I forgot about them. lol  Not the first time we’ve had massive plagues of mice (check out youtube for older videos if you like lol) and this won’t be the last.  It seems to be something that happens every few years, with the right conditions.  A locust plague is probably next, and then the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse can finally show up.

Just throw in some earthquakes, and you could call Australia “The Southern Southern California.”

I think I might stop grumbling about the weather here for a bit…   Well, unless it snows in April, in which case I reserve the right to grumble without restraint.
But mice… :shudders:  I get maybe a dozen at the lake house every winter, and I think that’s awful. What you’re getting is apocalyptic! 

I’m refusing to read about the Plague of Mice, sorry. I don’t like mice in big quantities… one mouse, two mouse, that’s fine… more than that, and I start to worry about what they’re up to. 

Be safe, Melrick.

I’ve had a cup of tea and a nice lie down since my rant, and now I’m feeling more calm. lol  Basically, whatever feels right for you is what you should go with.

For me, it’s definitely the second.  Semicolon’s are much more of a pause than a comma is.  You’re describing a list of things that are directly related to each other, so they belong in the same list.  Semicolon’s – basically just a step up from a full stop - essentially break it up into several, less related items.  Besides, if you’re saying something like “This is my daughter, Evie”, you should always put a comma after the word daughter.  The comma has become unpopular in recent years, for some baffling reason, but comma’s make sentences more readable, not less readable, if done right.  Nothing infuriates me more than a lack of comma’s!

The worst thing is a colon in the wrong place. Such as in your lunch.

This is what we get for inhabiting a country on top of a tectonic fault line, Melrick. 

I lived through one earthquake – a fairly bad one – and that’s quite enough for me!
