Hello again, Pat, are you keeping well?

Allan

Allan,

I wish I had a dog to walk , had to have my last one, a rescue dog put to sleep when he was 18, hubby is against having another.
But I'm still trying to persuade him :)
This weather you take a brolly or get soaked .lol

A neighbour is always taking in stray dogs, I see her when I'm out walking.. with or without my brolly! So the plan is if she gets another stray she will 'land him / her on my door and he / she won't be turned away :)

Hi Pat~~
you weren't there when I started typing.. just a very slow typer!!

Good morning/evening everyone.

Sandy - lovely to see you again.

It's been a day and night of torrential rain but it seems to have eased for now. Yesterday (Monday) was horrible and we lost internet and satellite telly reception. After such a warm, sunny day on Sunday it looks like we've gone back to winter:-(

Good Morning/Evening.

Sue our weather is similar to yours, Sunday was like a summers day, sunny, warm, calm. The last two day have been dark, wet and windy. But at least you know you're heading for summer eventually.

Hello Sandie,
I do hope you manage to get another dog - my dog is an old boy now, but fantastic company.

Tec.

Good evening all or should I say ( nobody here yet )

Hi Allan, hope you are well today hun, don't mind Sandie she's a mate of mine from the first thread I ever visited when I came on GR, she get's a bit absent minded like me ( takeing brollie for a walk ) lol.

Berona, it's not often I'm still around at 1pm hun so I think you can forgive me this time. How's you hun are you well.

Hello Sandie hun, hope you stay around and enjoy are friendly banter, only jokeing about the ( absent minded ) :) if you have been reading past post you will see I was talking about the Elvis Festival, is Porthcawl anywhere near you.


Diane

Hi Sue and Tec,
you both arrived as I was typing, hope you are both well, we all seem to be haveing the same weather, it is mad windy here at the moment.

Diane

Good Evening Diane,

How are you today?
Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be marginally better - I hope so because I need to go for a haircut, and I don't want the wind whistling around my ears. My daughter made rude remarks about my hair on Sunday, so I'd better be brave and call on the sheep shearers lol.

Tec.

Hello Diane - maybe it's raining all around the world. I have to say this isn't unusual weather for this time of year but when we are given a beautiful warm spring day and then a few days of miserable weather it seems unfair:-))

I have the house to myself today - that doesn't happen often.

Morning all from what looks like it is to be a sunny day but I said that yesterday (Tuesday) and then it rained an hour later. But that's Auckland weather - it does not like one to feel complacent.

The first thread I came on, on chat was Suzian's thread and that is where I first met up with Diane and Sandie. I liked the thread but with being on the otherside of the world had to wait about 12 hours or so before I knew whether I was on the right track with my answer. Played havoc with my mind.

Perse

Hi Sue, the wind here is horrific at the moment and as Tec said Sunday was nice and sunny, we seem to have just gone into what we call as march wind's weather, I don't think we will have anymore sun until next summer.
What are you going to do with your day at home on your own ? One of my son's work colleague's made some banana bread for him and me, it is lovely. I haven't had some for yrs so really enjoyed it.

Diane

Hi Persey:-))

Diane - that's strange. I went into the kitchen to make breakfast and found a couple of over-ripe bananas. I thought I would make some banana bread. It doesn't last long in this house:-)) I have to do a little work this morning but then I'm going to do some scrapbooking.

Good morning Perse,

That was the thread I first came on to, I didn't realise it was your first thread, it wasn't a problem when jackie and daphne were around as they kept it going when the brit's were asleep. I still pop on there to see what's what, were you there when Shimm's was around.

Diane

Hello all

Weather here is set fine for the week, but still cool at nights

Allan

Sue if it taste as good as this one does ( I'm sure it does ) then I'm not surprised it doesn't last long.
what are you scrapbooking ?

Diane

Good morning Allan,

Arn't you the lucky one, the rest of us are haveing dreadfull weather. Hope you and OH are well today, have you got any plan's for your lovely day, like getting your garden prepared for spring.

Diane

Hello Diane

Mostly you, Liz, Sandie and Suzian if I remember rightly. I thought I had to start somewhere so picked that thread it looked a bit of a challenge as they were quite long ones to work out and Suzian used to come up with some doozies.
Prior to that I had only gone on tips etc.
I thought I need something leisurely so came on to this one. - Hi Sue -

So a haircut Tec - I cut my OH's hair in the bathroom - he doesn't have to travel far. My previous hairdresser offered to do his - (I am not a hairdresser and don't really like doing it much) - problem is he likes to sit on a chair au naturel.

Persey

Diane, apart from weeding the garden virtually looks after itself.

The Kangaroo Paws (flowers) are now out as are our Bluebells.

The family of bobtailed lizards are also active so we know that summer is on the way.

Perse my OH has been cutting my hair since 1970, apart from the few years when I shaved it off completely.

I've decided to go back to that style soon as it is not worth grooming the little I have left

Allan

Hi Tec,
I missed your last post hun sorry, I was just about to say ( wer has are lovely Tec gone ) and was checking to see when you had last posted and I came across the one I had missed.
I'm fine thank you for asking, arn't kid's cheeky my daughter often comment's to me when I need to put a dye on my hair, mum when are you going to sort that grey mess out, I have threatened to go old and grey gracefully and I just get a dirty look from her with the comment ( don't expect me to go anywhere with you ) she's only messing ( I think ) but I must admit I hate the thought of going grey.

Diane

Hi Allan

Do bob tailed (shingle-backed etc) lizards shed their skin? With our geckos and skinks they shed their tails and the cats don't half look surprised when all they have in their mouth is a piece of skin and the lizard has zapped off.

I make banana bread from time to time Diane and Sue - but my grandies like banana cake best especially if I put chocolate icing on it.

Persey ;<}}

Hello Allan - hope you and your OH are well.

Our kangaroo paws are blooming as are the grevilleas. The honey-eaters are having a good feed on the nectar.

Diane - I'm scrapbooking some old photos that I received awhile back. I have two heritage scrapbooks as I've been lucky enough to receive some lovely photos from contacts I've made.

I've just received my hot matches and I made an immediate contact. I sent a message and received one back straight away. We are now "talking" by email:-)) I have far more info. than she has but she is so excited I don't mind passing on all the info. I have on that particular family line.
