A brilliant effort from out resident poet... Onya Tony. The Queen is having lamb cutlets cooked by the royal consort. No doubt washed down with a cheeky little red. Cheers dears Anna

Here to you Oh Queen, I've only got diet coke but that doesn;t make it any less fervent.. You're an inspiration. Tassie, funny about that. You havent got it cos I havent sent it yet!! promise I'll get it out tomorrow. Ill just have to pick the names I know on the list and see how I go Have just sent the first two to Jood. Yes we are on silly time. Makes us one hour behind Q, two behind Tas.two behind Vic. and N.S.W. I think.and 11/2behind S.A. Tony does that sound right to you?If in doubt ask the expert.

.............don't know about pickled (yet) but I'm tickled - just caught ten minutes of 'Grumpy Old Holidays' on ABC, very cheeky and I think I'm in their demographic! Tony your way with words is brilliant! OH Queen Trifley in your honour I am even going to have another little drinky winky before I finish up for the evening ('cos school clothes laid out, pencils sharpened, school hat retrieved from back of closet etc ........all set for a wonderful year 10 in this household!

Evening Wattlers Im back from my meeting, got everything sorted out, roll on next week :-))))) Merle what are you calling silly time ??????? I looooooovvvveeee daylight saving, but then we are used to it over here as we have 6 months of it. So what we will have to do is decide a time when we can all be on like 3.00 my time which will be 2.00 Qld time and 1.00 WA time if my calculations are right. Cheers Sue

Trifley and Consort and nefers!!! Toast to courage and love....sorry better late than never ((())) slainte and to you Ducky JA

Tony....loved the poem, thanks my friend. I've copied it for posteriyt...heee heee I've received many emails, sms's and posts on here which have been very comlimentary. Brave? Courageous? An Inspiration? I don't know about all that, but......one thing I know is that it has strengthened my character. You can't make a muscle strong without putting it under some stress and strain. Youy can't make a horse shoe without beating the living daylights out of a straight piece of steel. You can't build character in a person without that person suffering adversity. The bad times, the sad times, the hard times.....all these things make you a better person who apreciates life. And I've certainly been through all these. But I couldn't have made it without the support of my family and you, wonderful people. Thanks.....from the bottom of my heart. Hugz and love from the crazy Queen Trifley X

You is a clever little chappie Tony . . . great poem for the Queen! Well looks like the cutlets have been and gone . . . heehee Say G'day to Graeme and Mark for me Oh Great Queen . . . They is pretty special too !! I think I had a little nanny nap in the couch after we finished dinner. Either that or TLR has magical powers and can make dirty dishes vanish. Think I will head for bed - big day twas Nigh nite - sleep well - sweet dreams luv Laurie

Ah Queen The end of an emotional day for you my love. Sleep well and sweet dreams and if only that Duck person would chase the bed bugs away you wouldn't have a worry in the world. Katherine had her group interview this arvo and was happy with the way it went. Tassie - it was very much like the format that you mentioned that Tamika went through so Katherine sends her thanks as she had some idea of what to expect. She will hear over the next few days if she was successful. I hope she gets it as it is for a casual check out chick in the brand new Woollies store that is opening only 5 minutes away from us. Only 10 hours per week which would work in well with her Year 12 work load. Heather - good luck to your darling daughter for Year 10. Katherine went for a few hours today to show the new kids around the school. Her first full day is tomorrow. My OH has the Spring cleaning bug - it's driving me mad. I hope he gets called into work soon so I can have a bit of peace! Today he was even vacuuming down the walls of the bedroom and the bathroom and cleaning the hand basin with wet and dry sand paper! Good grief! I want to get some family history done but I feel guilty sitting at the computer when he is being so busy around the place! Lara - you haven't been on the thread. I do so hope that Tiger is OK and that you are managing with your diet. Hugz to you both. And Fanny - hope your puter is fixed soon as I miss your messages. Think I'll turn in early - must be the wines that I toasted the Queen with catching up with me. :>)) Thanks for the great pickles Lew - it sure looks beautiful. Stangely enough, we had our first writer's group for the year this morning and one of our writing ladies went on an antarctic trip and she had some absolutely gorgeous pickles too. It sure is a completely different world. Laurie - thanks for the message about my Dwyers. I will get back to them tomorrow I hope - too beggared tonight! XX Anna

Anna - when your OH has finished your place send him this way please - there will be plenty to keep him occupied for a month of Sundays Nitey nite Queen Trifley - sweet dreams Ducky - the bed bugs keep biting cos you're not around to shoo them away - come back and talk to us pleeeeeeeeeease Couple of wines and I nodded off watching telly but did see Grumpy Old Holidays - always get a laugh. Lew - thanks for the piccles - wouldn't mind being there now - darn sight cooler than here at the mo Better take myself off to bed Catchya tomorrow Gwenda
