Getting Warm With A Sexy Fireplace

Although this is an Aussie blog, South Aussie to be exact :wink_ee: I occasionally post about products or services from overseas. As Aussies even though we like to support the local products we still like to see what our neighbors are up to and if we like it and the price is right we may just go out and buy it.

Today I would like to talk about multi fuel stoves! Now, I know what you’re thinking, what the heck are multi fuel stoves because if you’re like me you’ve always thought that heaters were either wood burners, gas or electric fires. Well, multi fuel stoves are able to burn both wood and coal and are fitted with a riddling grate to collect the extra ash which is generated whilst burning coal. I remember as a kid how we used to burn coal in our stove but I haven’t see anyone selling coal for years. Maybe they’re too busy using the coal for generating our electricity.

Anyway, I loved that fireplace so much that I had to get one when I finally got my own home. I’ve been to houses that have gas heaters or ones that have reverse cycle air conditioning and to tell you the honest truth, sure they’re warm and all but they just make me drowsy and the rooms usually feel stuffy. I haven’t found this to be the case with wood burning fireplaces and I assume its the same whether you burn wood or coal.

Besides, they are so much more romantic. You can cuddle up in front of a fireplace with just the flickering flames lighting the room whispering sweet nothing in your loved ones ear. Try doing that with any other system. Heck, they have electric fireplaces that try and simulate that effect but nothing beats the real thing.

Open Your Eyes To The World With Zenni

I’ve always found Adelaide to be a beautiful city as are it’s surroundings which is why I started this photo blog, so that I could share it with you all. There was a time though when I wasn’t able to admire just how beautiful it was and it was all because of my vanity.

You see, I’ve always suffered from poor eyesight and because I wasn’t willing to do something about it I was missing out on just how beautiful everything around me truly was. It wasn’t until I went out and got my eyeglasses that this beautiful new world opened up to me. What was blurred and indistinct now had a brilliant clarity to it.

I have to admit in those days I was young and insecure an the thought of having to wear some ugly glasses and having to put up with all the name calling, like four eyes and stuff, was pretty daunting. These days though glasses have pretty well become a fashion statement and no one even thinks twice about having to wear glasses.

Also because of today’s technology you can actually buy them online at sites like Zenni Optical where you can save a whole heap of money.m The reason for this is clear when you read what they explain why their eyeglasses are so inexpensive.

Using the latest modern materials, manufacturing and marketing systems we bring our product direct from our factories to you. No middlemen, no retail overhead, and practically no advertising budget,(we leave it to you, our satisfied customers to spread the word), we do not pay for or sell expensive, or even inexpensive, brand names, but only our own manufactured brand ZENNI. Eyeglasses are definitely a personal fashion and style item, and to that end we strive to provide a fashionable and stylish product. More importantly, we feel prescription eyeglasses are a health item necessity for most wearers, and to that end we take considerable pride in being able to bring to all a very high quality product of great durability, safety and comfort at truly reasonable and affordable prices.

Although I have purchased a pair from them yet, having only just bought some previously, I would consider getting a pair from them. The only thing I’d have to clear up is that, being a US company, they were able to understand the prescription values that our Aussie optometrists give out. If they’re able to do that then I would love to give them a try, especially considering that I would be able to choose from over 3000 designs, only two of which you see here.

Honestly, if you love to shop without having someone looking over your shoulder then online shopping is the way to go and if you have some time to kill then you will love Zenni. Don’t just take my word for it, go and check them out and then come back and tell me which of their eyeglasses you like the best. Check out their prices and you may even want to include in your comment what Christmas present you would buy with your savings.

I know that a lot of people, it doesn’t matter if they did a mauritius holidays or one in lovely Adelaide, find that once they get home they forget some vital information about something they saw while on holiday that they wish that they could remember. That is why I always buy a book or two when I’m away. The only time I didn’t do it was when in the States this year and I’m still regretting it. :glurps_tb:

You may even find that buying a book beforehand is a great idea as reading about the place where you are going to holiday helps you to map out your itinerary a lot better. Failing that you could always visit this blog and hope that I’d written a post on whatever it is you’re looking for. :wink_ee:

As I live in Adelaide I don’t actually own a book on the place so I feel uncomfortable recommending any. That is why I went to Amazon to find a book as people who have bought a book on Amazon tend to leave a review and I’ve always found reviews helpful when making a purchase. This book is called Lonely Planet Central Australia: Adelaide to Darwin (Regional Travel Guide) But before we get to that I want to show you a nice photo I took while driving through the Barossa Valley on the weekend.

40′s Cafe Angaston Has Great Pizza

It was a lovely Sunday so we decided to go for a little drive down to the Barossa Valley. To be more precise we were headed to a restaurant in Angaston which is touted to have the best pizza in Australia. I always love driving in the Barossa Valley because it’s such a scenic drive. It wasn’t too long before we parked at the front of our destination, the 40′s Cafe.

Finding Ways Of Saving Money Like Zenni Optical

Man, things are really getting tough out there. It seems that the price of living is always going up and this includes things like petrol, food, electricity, heck you name it, if it costs money more likely than not it’s on the upward trend. The world news certainly isn’t helping any, especially with all the hype about the world’s finances. What with Spain and other parts of Europe being in trouble not to mention the financial scare coming out of the States when set the stock markets around the world on a downward spiral!

The problem is that even though everything seems to be going up most of us are still earning the same today as we did before everything went crazy. That is why it is so important that we do what we can to save money when we can. That is why blokes like Clark Howard are so respected. Clark is nationally syndicated consumer advocate who advises consumers how to save money by spending less and avoiding getting ripped off.

Too many people just hop in an buy the first thing that happen across not even thinking that if only they did a bit of research they could save a lot of money. Take buying prescription eyeglasses as just one example. You can do what most people do and pay hundreds of dollars by going to your local outlet or you can save heaps of money by getting it online. Clark Howard himself gave Zenni Optical the thumbs as he knew how much money a person could save by utilizing their services.

OK, now that I’ve put a smile on your face by showing you how to save money why not finish off with nice photo. I took this while in Hahndorf. It’s obviously a wooden puppet, one could even say it was Pinocchio, and look at that he’s smiling. He’s probably just ordered his glasses from Zenni :drunk_tb:
