On Sunday 26th of July The Fishing Club held their July Weigh In. Once again numbers were down with only 34 fish at 14.19kilo being weighed in.
Tom Ahling weighing in Jack Gazzard's catch
Jack Gazzard was the only deepsea fisherman, however he did pretty well with a catch of 13 fish weighing 4.61kilo. Among them was a 760gram Morwong, which won him “Heaviest Fish” and a nice 360gram Reddy. He won Mens Deepsea and the Heaviest Catch.
Tom Ahling hit the river with his wife Mary and he hooked 6 fish weighing 2.75kilo which got him Men’s estuary runner up, while Mary caught 2 at 900grams and she won Ladies Estuary. read more…
I’ve written here before about getting a computer club going here at the ‘Heads for the over 50’s to gain some skills and attend regular meetings and talks by invited guests. I recently emailed subscribers to my
Andy’s Computer Corner newsletters to gauge interest in forming such a club.
The response has been very promising so far and so we are in the process of getting things moving.
If you are interested, please visit the Google Group page using the link below to register your interest and be a part of the process of forming the club.
Anyone who has some skills, not necessarily in computers, but possibly having some organisational skills or being involved in committees are especially welcome at this early stage as we need to quickly form a steering committee to kick things along.
William asks: If I leave steak knives in the dishwasher they go rusty quickly - how can I stop this?
Auntie Flo: Firstly William, don’t put them in there! It’s a sure way to ruin carving and steak knives that aren’t made of good quality stainless steel. Some brands do seem to tolerate dishwashers quite well, but I believe it’s best to hand wash them.
To remove rust on knives, pierce an onion with the rusty knife so it is covering the rust spots and leave it there for 24 hours. read more…
On July 5th 1879, work began on the construction of the iron bridge over the Shoalhaven River at Nowra. Amazingly (I’d like to see it happen today), the bridge was opened on the
1st August that same year by Hon John Lackey MLA, Minister for Works, in the presence of 7,000 people.
The bridge was constructed by the Edgemoor Iron Co of Delaware, USA and was the largest in NSW at the time. read more…
Sam asks: I have a favourite pair of sneakers that are starting to pong! How can I stop the smell?
Auntie Flo: Try this tip Sam. Ask your Mum for some old knee-high stockings and fill with (unused!) kitty litter. Tie the ends and tuck them in overnight for a quick refresh, you can add baby powder too. Another method to try is to take a few teaspoons of baking soda and put in the center of a cotton cloth. Tie the cloth and rubber band the edges securely read more…

Gail asks: How can I clean artificial flowers Auntie Flo? They are a pain to try and dust!
Auntie Flo: To clean artificial flowers try these methods Gail. Mix some powdered automatic dishwasher soap and water in a bucket and submerge the fake plant/flowers. Twirl around in the water for a minute or so and they come out clean and dust free. Simply hang upside down over the sink or outside to air dry.
I’ve also been told this quick method works a treat too. read more…
