Morning all, Got to get to the dentist early for a check up :( I hate going there - they always find something wrong!! Special hugs for you, O Great Trifle - hee hee. Thinking of you today. Come on Lew - spill the beans. We are all waiting glued to our screens :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ catch you later today, Vonny

Morning all. Wow Vonny - I'm impressed! .. Never seen you here so early - although I must admit I am later than usual. Good luck at the dentist. .. They don't worry me (only the bill at the end of the visit). JA - I went to turn over in bed early this morning, it was a bit nippy, pulled the rug up - it wouldn't pull - hmmmmm. .. I had Cara the siamese cat curled up by my side.. No idea how she got in the bedroom. She is the friendliest Siamese. They take her down to Tower Hill in her cat cage - 3 ½ hours drive, not a peep out of her. She knows that house was well as this one, and doesn't stray. She entertains the neighbourhood cats from Tower Hill - lauding it over them on the balcony. .. Her best friend in Bendigo is a huge fluffy siamese cat of the same colour (personally I think the short hair are nicer). School books and pencils almost done. Gee they have it easy these days. .. All the labelled stickers supplied - I think I stuck labels on about 70 pencils, coloured, lead and ink, and glue sticks. Gone are the days of covering your books. .. It will be an exciting day for the kids tomorrow. I know how I used to feel on the first day of school term - a bit of anticipation, a bit of apprehension, and a bit of excitement. Before I forget, could skp please forward me a copy of Merles first pics? .. She has lost my address again, and I still haven't emailed her with it. Have a good day all. Love Jood

Morning All, Firstly, Hooray for HRH, celebrations in order tonight for you on your last day of dreaded !!!!, will raise a glass or two in honour LEW, WELCOME HOME, hope you behaved yourself accordingly to the wattle tradition whilst swanning around with the Princess, did you manage to snavel a piccy of her holding wattie or did you not want him to lower his standing LOL Goodness, might have to send search party out to find the bug hunter, havent seen her around much, do you think that little tricycle of hers has a flat tyre Oohh I dont think our dispenser of coloured pills needed to venture so far away for her to earn the title of official brat, didnt she earn that years ago, hee hee, sorry doc, just kidding Merle, shame about missing out on Mudgee bash, but never fear, someone Im sure will organise another crazy get together and you will be able to go, but we will have a drink each for all the wattlers that are not able to attend but are with us in spirit, (spirit as in drinks, not death) lol, maybe you and Tassie can have your own special night on the 17th and pretend you are out west with us Tony, hope you havent made too much of a mess on computer with all your dribbling mate, but I sure gotta say, that there fish tasted ABSOLUTELY Yummie, whats this about you not coming to Lews, have you changed your mind? Fanny, whats going on, have I missed something, are you not well?? Mary, sorry you wont be able to make it to Mudgee, would love to see you again, but Johns health is more important, best wishes to him, certainly hope they find the problem real soon, BUT remember to look after yourself also Jood, you home yet or still nomadding around, are you not coming to Mudgee also?? Ouch Anna, you sticking you finger where its not supposed to have been, sure sounded painful Well, what a weekend I had this Australia Day, it was the best ever, Lyn and Mick arrived around 10ish, and TLR and Loz at approx 12.30, hugs and kisses all round and then into a nice hot cuppa. As you all saw from the great piccles Loz snapped, there was an abundance of food and drinks followed by gaggles of laughter. A few twinges of anxiety (with reservations of shying out) by a couple of peeps but within 5mins exclamations of (gee what was I worried about) it was just like a big family get together. As for me supposedly being the hostess, I had the laziest 3 days in a long while, Lyn took over the kitchen duties and TLR with his cooking skills was the master of all chefs, (dont go Ray, dont go, come back), whoops got a bit carried away there Loz, just kidding, you can have him back after he finishes at the Barbie, (poor old barbeque didnt know what hit it, never had such a workout in all its 16yrs). I am not going to duplicate what Laurie has written as she has said it all, just to say that Rob and I had the best time, only sorry that the weekend had to come to an end, went ever so fast, in no time at all it was Sunday and we were waving Laurie and Ray goodbye, (bad luck for Ray having a meeting on Mon) it was time for Mike to have another cuppa and set off off another short walk. Monday morning is upon us and after light breakfast Lyn and Mick are packed and now are also on their way home. With the weather being as we could have wished, the food excellent (prawns, lamb chops, bacon, salads), and the mouth tingling bubbly, (champagne breakfast every morn) what made it so complete was that we had spent it with the MOST WONDERFUL DELIGHTFUL company that we have encounted in so many years, THANK YOU, Lyn, Mick, Laurie, Ray, YOU SIMPLY ARE THE BEST, roll on June Shaz ~~~~ to All
