I knew about the SA one. @TAB My gay uncle told me all about it in the 1970s!
He was into anything over the top.
There are 3 Vic beaches mentioned at the bottom of the article.

Hugs Beautiful.
I read your post on BB's thread. Tagged you over here as BB is vulnerable atm.
It is so hard when we go to events in order to help ourselves, but other people presume and tell us what to do.
I am doing more socialising now than I have in last 5 years, and discovering that bossy people are alive and kicking. I am learning to kick back. I am not as vulnerable as I used to, and so not as thrown off by it, even learning to call it out to the people. Perservering in the situation becasue of my son, I am learning ... Many of them do not mean harm, it is just a habitual form of self defence to control the other first... a kind of bravado They have not done a lot of therapeutic work.
I get annoyed with myself because I typically will do what I am told and it is so hard wired in me... it is very hard to change. A lot of them have not done half the achievements of me and they still presume. As I am a senior I try and shake it off like a dog or a duck shakes off water. If they come from some level of goodwill, I acknowledge that, but trying for "Carefrontation", rather than docile silence. My response was silent for many decades as I was either to young or too exhausted with work and other commitments to get the energy up to mount a sufficient reply.
If the "advice" was from someone who has not earned your trust, and does not really know you, give it the flick ....

I am glad you are going to TAFE and that you have seen a counsellor about your difficulties - that is a good idea @Judi9877

Hello @Shaz51 just doing my gardening by the moon, working out what root vegies to plant next - they go in at a certain time so you get a high yield. Picked a window specifically for root crops. May be more active on a seed savers group to swap seeds and maybe extra produce. My next task is to liquid fertilise which is done during a waxing moon (which is from the new moon to the full moon) Got a cheap set of secondhand seedling trays and I'll be ready to go!

Just got in some cabbage, cauliflower, silverbeet, brussel sprouts and lettuce this week (leafy veg). Am waiting for my next round of sowing seed for the root vegetables as I said @Shaz51 <edited>
