General Chat

Good morning all. I'd love to see the photos when you sorted them. I think I've mentioned before that we have a niece and great nephew living in Kalgoorlie. It sounds ok but the area you live in sounds and looks very nice. We fully intend visit WA one day as I'm sure there will be lots to see and do.

I have to say as much as the house was beautiful the garden wasn't much to write home about:-)) Oooh....I'll pull my claws back in.

Would you like a bowl of milk with that, Sue?

lol

:0))

Allan

Hello CC

I'm not sure that i could live in a house like that!!

Allan

CC, we are also surrounded by children, some young and some older.

The young ones are out in their respective pools, which we can't see, but we can hear the squeals of pleasure and the splashing.

The older ones at the side are into basketball, but if the ball comes over the fence, it's usually the mum who let's us know. The family only moved in fairly recently but I've worked with the mum at one of my contract jobs with the local council

Allan

Birds of a Feather was shown here, CC, I quite enjoyed it

Allan

CC, when we lived in Bollington, in Cheshire, we lived just around the corner from Mike Yarwood, but there was a massive difference in our houses, although both stood in their own grounds.

Ours was on about 500 square metres, MikeYarwood's on about 5 acres :0))

Allan

Goodmorning Sue and Allan

CC of cause you didn't affend me hun, I was just saying I understood why you don't want to go into detail's. I also think the wrong people get help sometime's.

Sue I'm glad thing's went well at the party and both stepmother's avoided each other, at the end of the day it would not have been the time or the place. If you were envious of her house then my place in comparrison (sp) to her's would be a shame lol.

Hi Allan it's nice to get out and about and take photo's of places you visit then you can relive the time spent there when you are stuck in if the weather is bad.


Diane

I like Birds of a Feather too:-))

CC - this house isn't a show home and certainly not luxurious. Just spacious and very welcoming. It was all the big windows that made it look light and airy. My daughter's house has a formal sitting room at the front of the house. The children are only allowed to take books in there and it's where my daughter and her partner and visitors sit in the evening when the children are in bed. At the back of the house is a huge family room where the children play with their toys and watch telly. It has large windows so the children can be watched when playing outside and as the room includes the kitchen they can also be supervised when my daughter is cooking. The kitchen window overlooks the trampolene which is good as my daughter can knock on the window and shout "Oi":-))

Hi Diane

I took a concious decision after giving up full time work to try to see the place where I lived from the tourist point of view.

All too often I have lived in fantastic places, but only to realise it after we had left.

Bunbury center is only 10 minutes away and until recently I have been a big knocker of the city, so I thought OK go with a new pair of eyes.

The differences are still there, though. Where we took the phots is a very vibrant area, lots of cafes etc and modern in contrast to the city centre which is only a couple of hundred metres away.

There is Sunday trading in Bunbury but there are no throngs of crowds in the center because they are all in Marlston or shopping at the outer areas.

Good Morning/Evening Everyone

I live in a cave on a Welsh mountainside. We have to have the straw on the floor because the sheep make such a mess when we take them in out of the rain. The bats are a bit of a nuisance at night, and the water dripping off the ceiling is a menace when eating a meal. We have flaming torches for lighting, but the smoke irritates my eyes.
OH sits outside in the summer in her Welsh costume spinning wool, this entertains the English tourists no end. Sometimes they throw money at us. We don't worry about en-suite facilities and the like.

Tec.

I enjoyed Dorian singing that Madonna number - I reckon she was better than Madonna. She was such an asset to that show.

I am a "New Tricks" fan - I think it must be the over sixty thing as I remember them all from way back. Dennis Waterman as a child actor in that swapping families thing. Then the Sweeney and with George Cole and her Indoors.

Q: What is the most common remark made by 60-plus year olds when they enter antique stores?

A: "Gosh, I remember these!"


Allan would love some more pictures I don't mind whether they are Horizontal, Vertical or diagonal ..... I can rotate myself anticlockwise no problem.

Cheers

Persey

Oh Tec - I nearly choked on my coffee. OH gave me a funny look until I read out your post. His comment - "luxury, paradise". Monty Python:-))

Sue xx

Hello Tec, do you still paint yourself with woad, or was that the ancient queen Woadacia? :0))

Allan

Hello Persey

I shall send the photo's to you with pleasure. I should be back from Perth later on this afternoon (WA time) so will try to get them through the ether today

Otherwise it will be ether Tuesday or Wednesday :0))

Allan

Monty Python - 4 Yorkshiremen.

Sorry Tec you were inside the cave Troglodyting - so missed you as I was passing by.

Persey, a repeat of New Tricks starts next Saturday on the ABC.

The worrying thing about antiques is that when I went round the Albany Prison tourest complex, in the kitchen were displays of items which could have come straight from my mother's kitchen!!

Allan

Yes I do Allan - one good thing living up here on the mountain is that we'll never be run over cwossing the woad will we?

Sorry to interupt your coffee Sue, just though I would describe my domestic situation.

Perse - We're big fans of New Tricks.

Hi CC......Hi Diane,

Tec

CC, wasn't she the one that coined the phrase

"all woads lead to Wome?"

Allan

Goodevening Tec, I would love to live in your cave in the mountainside lol.

Good morning Perse, I sent you a e-mail hope you got it hun.

My hovel is so small it only take's me half a minute to go into every room lol, all on one level and about 40foot square

Diane.
