The June Weigh In was held on Sunday, 28th of June with a much better weekend of weather for fishing resulting in some spectacular results. There were 57 fish caught at a total weight of 56.3kilo, averaging almost 1kilo per fish. Has that ever happened before?.
James Thomas, Jim Hyland and our illustrious Cookie had a great day amongst the Kingies. Jim latched onto 5 weighing a massive 15.35kilo winning him the Men’s Deep Sea and Heaviest catch. He also caught the biggest fish with a 5.42kilo Kingfish. James Thomas caught 4 at 10.78kilo and was Deep Sea runner up. Cookie found 3 at 8.55kilo. Not a bad day for the boys and James tells me that they caught them all off the Jetty using green prawns for bait (believe it or not). read more…
Bill asks: Can you advise me how to clean cat urine from carpet and stop the smell?
Auntie Flo: Blot up what you can with paper towels. Then mix a teaspoon of mild dish-washing detergent in a cup of warm water, dip a clean towel in the liquid and, working from outside in, dab at stain. Be careful not to overwet the carpet. Rinse with fresh water and blot dry. Next, mix 1/3 cup white vinegar with 2/3 cup water and dab on stain. read more…
A very warm welcome to our two latest site supporters. Elders Real Estate in Shoalhaven Heads and Seven Mile Beach Seafood have both kindly agreed to become site sponsors this month.
I could not keep this site going and promote it without the sponsors (and they all agree the annual fee is very reasonable!) - so please, support the local businesses and tell them you saw their ad here. read more…
Well, not quite - but have you popped down to see the amount of sand that’s been scoured from the beach yet?
My guess it was during the very high tides on 23rd & 24th of this month (both were over 2 metres). It will be interesting to see what happens if we get a king tide and high river levels during winter this year as the gap between the river and the sea is getting to within a few metres now at high tide! Here’s some photos - read more…
From Florida, US.
A South Florida woman is re-examining her faith. She was in the kitchen cooking a family favorite when letters appeared on the salami in her frying pan. The letters spelled out the word GOD.
“Welcome to the blessed house,” said Nancy Simoes, as she allowed CBS4 cameras and Jorge Estevez into her home in Southwest Miami Dade. “We witnessed the letters G.O.D. spelled out on three slices of fried salami.” said Estevez.

Secondly, to encourage more comments on the articles I’ve removed the email and website boxes as it might have put some people off. They were always optional anyway but now you don’t even have to give them a second look - ’cause they ain’t there!
It really means a lot to the article writers to get some feedback on what they write so as well as the comments (if you can spare a few seconds to put something there it would be great), you can also now give an article a ‘thumbs up’ if you like it - just use the click if you like this article link and your vote will be recorded. EDIT July 2nd: Ok changed this to ‘How did this article make you feel?’ as the thumbs up thingie caused a problem. So if you don’t have time to dash off a quick comment - just let us know by clicking your mood! read more…
Sally asks: Our wardrobe often smells musty, is there a cure for this that you recommend?
Auntie Flo: Try this tip Sally. Find a suitable large sized container with a lid, such as an old coffee can, plastic container, or painter’s bucket and poke several holes in the lid.
Fill the container with a good handful of charcoal briquettes, they will absorb moisture buildup in your wardrobe that often causes the musty smell. read more…
From Somerset, UK.
Stinking Bishop has been voted Britain’s smelliest cheese in the first ever smell championship. The pungent cheese, made by Charles Martell of Martell and Son in Gloucestershire, was described as smelling like a rugby club changing room at Britain’s Smelliest Cheese Championships, held at The Royal Bath and West Show in Shepton Mallet, Somerset.
