On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Network Outages, Jobs and Christmas Lights.

On Tuesday this week, someone cut the cable! Yes, my state has a interconnector that runs from us to mainland Straya. The cable’s (I think there is three all up) supply electricity and internet/phone services. But, on Tuesday some cowboy on the ‘big island’ damaged one of the cables doing civil works, as a result for about 6-7ish hours there was no landline or mobile phone service, and also no internet! But, shockingly despite not having a connection, the sky didn’t fall in….

I’ve managed to con someone into giving me a job! And it’s at a bike shop! Hype. Longevity, is subject to my passing the standard 3 month probation period, but hopefully I can manage that and if I do, I might treat myself to a delicious new bike.

Christmas lights, I shouldn't be talking about them in early March, jet I am. Some houses near me STILL have them up and on during the evening/nights. I’m not into this, it’s ok to keep them up, but don't turn them on until December!

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Best Friend’s, Camel’s and Dates.

So, one of my best friends! Has given me the ‘label’ or ‘title’ im not sure what to use here, of their ‘Best Friend’ and I feel that’s a big call, maybe even a captains call. At the time I wasn’t into it, and that I felt that I probably need to be doing more, for them to be able to handle that title. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually given someone personally the title of being my bestie. I’ve got a top three, and they sort of change around a little depending on what’s been going on etc. But yeah, I’m someones best friend, and its on the internet so it must be true!!!!

I saw a Camel, umm, I’m not sure where else to take this. When I initially saw it I did a triple take to make sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. Luckily for me I was with some other people who also saw the Camel, so I know im not crazy…..

In recent times I’ve been doing some Archaeology work, it’s interesting stuff. And when it comes to ageing finds it can be tricky, but luckily ‘The Boss’ has an encyclopedia of makers marks, for old porcelain and china. That means depending on the mark and if it’s fully intact, you can date something right to the day of manufacture!

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Scooters, 22 and Bouldering.

Just before Christmas, my city started a e-scooter trial, and I’ve had two people say to me that I need to talk about them on the show. That said, I dont really have much to say about them, I’ve not used one and I don’t really need to. However, I may go and try one just for the sake of it.

Secondly, I just chat about a few things I have on my ‘Stuff for 22’ list, it mainly contains visiting places around where I live, places that are stupidly close to where I live, but have just never gone too. One big ticket item though is to get a Hammock!

Earlier in the week, two of my friends had their birthday, so they decided that the ‘friend group’ should go Bouldering/Indoor rock climbing. I’ve not done this before, but it was rather challenging and enjoyable, I also took my action cam with me, so keep an eye out on the Vlog channel for a video soon.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to read you a story!

Some tidying up of the spare room has been started, and as a result I found one of my favourite childhood books. Dr Dog, and you’ll be able to get nostalgic with me as I read you the story.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Record Update, Tractors and Meetings.

So my record has arrived! After being told the other week by the retailer, that they didn’t know when it was going to be here, I’ve now got it! I bet it was all a con, and they had it all the time the scoundrels…

What’s the most ‘unusual’ thing you’ve been a passenger in? I had a slightly novel experience recently, where I was a passenger in a tractor that got driven through town! My brother who does some tractor work had a hay bailing job one weekend, so I went for a ride. However, we had to drive the tractor across town to get where the job was!

Lastly, I waffle about a meeting I had a week or so ago, not much to report on that really. I was unsure what I wanted to get out of it, but I think it was positive, but without immediate action. However, a future ‘call to action’ was tabled, so that’s something I guess!

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Plates, Digs and Records.

Have you ever had something ‘explode’ in your hands? Well in my first story, if I could even call it a story. I talk about holding a plate and having it break in half, maybe I’ve got some sort of ‘zen’ power!!

Have you ever done a job, that’s interesting, but not exciting? I think this would be a fair assessment of an Archaeology dig I helped out on recently. Basically we were digging 50×50cm square pits, to a depth of ‘that cant go any further’ Interesting, unexciting, but a good workplace.

ABBA, have a new album out. So I thought because I’m a mildly good son, I’d get it for my mothers Christmas gift. However, despite it having an ‘arrival’ date of November 5th, and it being ‘available’ online from the retailer, it’s not here yet. I received a call from the retailer a few days ago, basically saying they don't have it and they don't know when they’ll get supply. Thanks for that…..

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Reaction Videos, Red Heels and Disappearances.

Do you like ‘Reaction Videos’ because, shocker, I think they’re a bit lame. Firstly why would you want to watch someone watching something? And secondly it shows how sheltered some people are, in regards to the rest of the world. Not much more to say on that!

Do you sometimes wear clothes that are not ‘associated’ to your gender? On a recent trip to Target, I observed a guy wearing a pair of saucy red heels! Like not a stiletto situation, but a heeled ‘woman's’ shoe. Cowboy boots have a heel so who cares!, but the noise, why so clunky. Is that the word I want to use, I guess it is because I have….

I was riding my Mountain Bike around a bit of parkland the other day, there is various tracks and dog areas at this particular location. Anyway, I was coming up behind someone who was walking, and as I overtook them I ‘scared’ them a little. After I apologised for doing so, I decided I should go back and have a bit more of a chat with said person, so I did a quick loop back to near where it all went down. The person however, was literally nowhere to be see, they’d completely disappeared and im at a total loss at to where exactly. That got me thinking, did that person only exist for the sole purpose of that chance encounter, and the universe took them away after I decided I wanted more interaction? Or most likely im completely overthinking it…..

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, 40, Milo and Doors.

Im sure someone has loused up your age, but I had someone recently think I was 40!, and when I told them what my actual age was, they had a slight meltdown. I’m not sure if it’s a complement or a ‘slap in the face’ to have someone think you’re 40, maybe I’m a wise soul or something like that. Who knows….

I was making myself a delicious Milo one night, and as I went to push the lid back onto the can, I somehow managed to push the lid straight into the can! I then fished the lid out and it was well buckled, so I gave it a bit of an unbuckle and I then carefully pushed it back onto the can.

I’m not really sure what to say on this, basically I saw some bloke carrying a door down the road, the door looked pretty new. I can only assume ol mate had been to one of the hardware stores, got himself a door and carried it home?

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Checking In, Jury and 6 Minutes.

Have you ever had someone have a complete bitch about something, then you suggest an alternative, but they just shut that down too. That’s the essence of this first segment, in current times you’ve got to ‘sign in’ to businesses etc when you’re out and about, to help with tracing if someone gets the coz. Anyway, to get into the hospital, spoiler you’ve got to ‘sign in’ I was talking to someone who was having a meltdown over this, but when I said that they could go to a side entrance, for their purposes instead of actually entering the building. (They were picking up medication from the hospital pharmacy) They weren't having a bar of it.

Back in episode 27 of the Podcast, I talked about Jury Duty, well I was on it again this past few weeks. However this time I got a case! It was an interesting experience, and I was surprised by the sheer admin of a trial, every person just about in the court room getting copies of photos of evidence etc. And it was all to be destroyed after the trial, what a waste!

Wrapping things up, on Monday I had to go and have a procedure, one I’ve had a heap of times. After I woke up and was in the recovery area, I noticed a bit of paperwork that had the start and finish times of my procedure, and it worked out to be a grant total of 6 minutes! Those doctors work quick...
