	Evening all. :-D Dea, if you say there was a magnifier then I believe you. Can't remember it but you use Ancestry far more than I do. Maybe it has been removed for a purpose?? :-S There was a quick message from Renes on the other side a couple of days ago. She was on her way back from Scotland to Norfolk. Hope she makes it back here soon. Another busy day but at least I have sorted the Grandchildren's main presents - we went into town after school! My 'poorly' friend phoned with some brilliant news. She has had a review and she is going home!!!!! :-D How fantastic is that? She will begin with a just a day, then two and so on. She has the option that if it doesn't work out for her she can go back to the care home but everyone is convinced she will do it. Looks as though she had a really bad breakdown :-( :-D :-D

	Hi Sylvs.....pretty certain the breakdown was caused by caring for both her husband and her brother in law. It was just too, too, much for her. They have both died now but hopefully she will be able to build a life for herself.

	I see we are still travelling on along in the medical vein... well not Fans not sure where she is travelling ... looks like the yellow brick road. Cyns.. I do hope your friend comes through all this okay... Dea why do you need something to be larger than 200% can you copy it to your own picture viewer and magnify and drag around until you get what you want? You don't have to see the fly dirt on the pages... There is always soOur dameway around things on computers so you can get the result you want. Our days are getting better and sunnier.... when that happens usually means we will have a wet Christmas.... Pxx

	Poor Ginny, you must be unwell!! Please let me assure you, in case they have dumbed us down, we don't say G'day everytime we meet someone, call them cobber or mate etc etc! Some of the things they shows us as makes me cringe! Persie our forecast is for really hot and muggy. High fire danger this year for grass fires. Our brigade is on standby this year for the long haul strike teams, which means if we are called, 5 days away on 12 hours shifts. OH and myself try to alternate if possible, but fingers crossed it will just rain, rain rain (but not to teh point of flooding!)

	I LOVED the french toast and crispy bacon - THANK YOU Sylvia - although I was a little disturbed by Dea apparently 'eating' so much of it!! She cannot possibly have eaten all that she took !! What is the secret store???? Is that a place in your house Sylvia where we can go an find everything out heart desires???? A twix sandwiche - white buttered bread with a twix inside it!!! Do not try unless you like sweet and soar stuff together - i.e. a sweet sandwiche with crisps or chocolate with bread and butter. If you do like the above then I highly recommend. Branston pickle on fried bread - you really MUST try this if you like both!! I never said that I was normal!!!! :-P

	Yes Lainie that's the hidey hole... I struggled a couple of pages back with lots of grunting and have moved a fridge into the hidey hole so as the eggy toasts will keep a bit longer Dea had to throw some out... We will not be putting twix sandwiches or any other horrible combination you come up with Lainie into said fridge. Dea made a great toad in the hole so I knicked some of that... I make individual ones in muffin tins... maybe they are frogs in little holes... OOh Gracie I do hope everything will be okay, I have seen what the fires can do when I was in South Australia after one lot. I was so upset when Maryville and Kingslake had those bad fires and all the little animals that suffered as well. If they get bad our blokes will be coming over there as well so hope it does not even think about reaching that point. You talking about Cobber... I think we only heard that twice, the first time years and years ago and OH got excited, he said that some one had said to him 'scuse I cobber'... to get both expressions in the one sentence was funny.

	LOL Persie, honestly sometimes when wewatch people taking us off we just look at each other and say surely we don't sound like that! Gracie went through a stage of saying that's okay mate in response to anything anyone asked her! Not sure where she picked that up from!
