I have just taken time to send Amanda my email address. I can't stand to think there are garden photos available and I haven't seen them!

Yes, I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed, Tec (at least, I think so). Don't get too reflective - you'll make me cry. Good talking to you Tec, even if you are probably on your way up the wooden hill by now. Hope you both sleep well.

Hi Berona~~~

I'm a bit of a night owl !!
Like you I'd love to see pics of Amanda's garden, will pm her my e mail addy in the morning.
I have some nice ones of when my red poppies were out earlier in the yr, but I was just experimenting with the camera on my new phone.
Only bought it because my pay as you go was playing up, that was hubby's cast off !
We both now have the same phones for which we pay £20 a month, but we redeem the payments every 6months, so at the end of the contract it will have cost me £3 for using the mobile for 24 months!!
If you intoduce a friend, hubby has intoduced 3 you recieve £10,so he will end up paying nothing for his phone, in fact they will be paying him.lol
Financially astute my hubby !!.lol

Well wouldn't you know it, I have been out today and the thread has passed the 25k mark.... new it was close should have made us stay home (LOL)

So congratulations Sue and cheers everyone.

Sorry to hear about the awful tragedy that befell you, Amanda. Tec is so right you never know where one's windy journey through life may take you.

I was looking for something in my computer the other day Berona and came across Ali's posts and messages and was also wondering how her family were managing especially the younger boy.

Take care all of you special people.

Love Persephone xx

Hello everyone, a big happy 25K posts to our thread, although I'm sipping on my coffee - cheers everyone!!
Group ((((((hug))))))

I had to travel to Ballarat today, I took my mum to see a specialist. The weather was atrocious, rain and thick fog, its spring would you believe!!

Amanda, I am so sorry to read your terrible tragedy that happened to you. I'm sure your guardian angel is with you every day. I will take a moment to think of you tomorrow on your sad day.

I also often think of our Ali and how her family are, her three special men who she loved to bits.
Stay beautiful our Ali, I am:-))

I went shopping with my daughter the other day, she needed new shoes:-) I went to the ATM to get some cash out, and someone had left their card in the machine. So I took the card back to the persons bank - I would be devastated if I lost my card, and would have to walk around bare footed:-))
Yes, I got new shoes too, and a new purse to go with the shoes!!

Stay Beautiful!!

Hello Carole - we don't see you often enough. Hi Persey:-)) We've been reflecting on the thread and getting all mushy with each other. What good friends we've all become.

We're having horrid weather although not as bad as you have. At the moment it's dark and thundery. It looks like it's going to pour any minute. I wish spring would come back.

Stay beautiful - because you both are:-))

Hello Sue, we had that thunder and rain last night, OH made me put my car under the carport - it wasn't as bad as predicted. We were expecting huge hail stones, like the ones in Sydney that last time.
Our weather is mad, I keep thinking - So spring, where's the sun?
How was your day, Sue?

Good morning, Carole how lovely to see you.

(((hugs))) for Amanda to pick up when she looks in. Lif can indeed be a b**tch some times.

Good morning to Sue and Perse as well. I have been listening to the radio and it is covering the miners rescues, but I haven't put the TV on yet to see it

We keep missing each other Carole. My day? I didn't do much as I am nursing a head cold. Doesn't a cold make you feel miserable.

Hello Linda. I watched the first 4 miners come up. It was very emotional. I don't mind admitting that I was very teary. Watching it live was incredible. I think they've got a long road ahead of them.

I have just watched the rerun of the first two on i player, it was very emotional indeed, it is a miracle that they are coming out at all

The capsule has just gone down for the 6th miner. They say a miner per hour so a long while to go yet.

My congratulations also for 25,000 posts. Onward and upward to 26,000 and later 30,000.
It is good to see the miners rescued.
I was reminded on our TV tonight that it is 40 years since the collapse of the Westgate Bridge during construction. I have been across it once only. It is a magnificent structure, but so sad about those who died.
At least it led to better OH & S laws.
