Good morning, Gee, twice in a row!!! hearing test this morning and I'm not expecting any better results than from the dentist yesterday :( ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'av a good one :) Vonny

Morning Vonny, Good luck with the hearing test. Oooooh sounds like the dentist found a way to lighten your purse yesterday did he? Had a nice sleep-in but then I didn't go to bed till near 12.30 so just catching up on my beauty sleep. Cats must need lots cos they are still sleeping - maybe the visit to the v-e-t yesterday was a shock to their system with injections and thermometers. Have a great day peeps (((((hugs))))) and ~~~~~~~~ for everyone Off to get brekky Gwenda

Good morning Wattlers I was up before the sparrows this morning.....could get back to sleep for some reason. Give me a couple of days and I'll sleep standing up.....heee heee. Good luck with the hearing test, Vonny. Are we going to have to learn sign language? I know a few already but they are naughty ones....heee heee. G'day Gwenda.....hugz to your cats. We are off to Bunnings now so I'll see you lot later. Hugz to everyone Trifley X

Morning all,, hope we get some rain today as its cloudy,, Cant stay but ~~~~~~~~~~~~to all~~~~~~~~~~~ Love Maryxxxxx

Good morning Wattlers Strange looking day here on Botany Bay. There is a bit of cloud, with the sun forceing its way thru - making it a hazy looking day. Fortunately a cool change hit here about midnight so the temp is very comfortable and the sea breeze an added bonus. There are only three giraffe necks stretched to the heavens - and as always plenty of activity out my window to keep me occupied. A big day today for another wonderful Wattler . . . can we all send positive vibes to our Peppermint Flake that all goes well for her. Looking forward to the 'I'M RETIRED' message coming thru from her. The dreaded is all done, and I am going to spend the rest of the morning updateing my tree . . . might even get around to putting something back on GR - took it off in Sept when the sky fell in and haven't got around to putting it back on. No wonder the Hot Matches have been a bit quiet . . . . Hope whatever your doing today you are able to do it with a smile luv Laurie

Good morning good people Looks as if we'll be on the slops again tonight - this time in honour of Flakey retiring. Welcome to the club Flakey - I can thoroughly recommend it. Today is the last day I will be on the slow speed as the result of Katherine using up all our fast speed allowance - can't wait until tomorrow. It's been driving me bananas. Queen - just as well Chris can't hear you or he'd be joining you at Bunnings - he just loves Bunnings. Good luck with the hearing test Vonny - Chris sent me for one a few years ago as he said I wasn't responding to what he was saying!!!!!!!! Oh dear - turns out the hearing was fine........... Have a happy day with the FH Laurie. I'm going to clean out some cupboards in the garage. Yukkk Where is the Ice Printheth - have had beautiful photos but maybe her fingers haven't defrosted yet as she is not talking to us. Yoooohoooooo- Printheth!!! I'm off Have a great day everyone Love Anna

Here I am, Anna. The Ice Printheth cometh, lol. I've been lurking in the background, as there has been plenty to do upon my return. Terry also invited guests over for dinner last night!!!!! You'd think he'd have given me one day's break, lol To Our Wonderful Queen Trifles and her fantastic family, well done. You've made it and now for your reward - the Mudgee Meet, pmsl. I've sent more pickles this morning of our Wattie in the snow. He is a very brave bear, that's for sure. Tony, your poems are just brilliant. We expect more at the MM. Good luck to all the Wattler kids going back to school today, particularly Katherine entering Year 12 and for her job. Fingers crossed. That Tiger must be keeping you on your toes, Lara. Don't pamper him too much, he'll learn to expect it, lol Had a sleep in this morning, so had better go and get some brunch. ~~~to all~~~ HRH Dr Ice Printheth

morning Wattlers will let you know how today goes, wont know if everything goes ok til later this arvo. But today would have been my Dads 81st b'day so I know he will be there for us. What has Lew done to Wattie??? Did you see the pics of him in the snow in the nuddie.....gee Lew didn't the poor little thing even have a scarf? lol Love the joke Ducky.....need to laugh today Back later Flakey Back later

All bits crossed for you today, Flakes. I'm sure it will all proceed okay. As for Wattie, I have discovered that some of his relatives live in the Arctic Circle and apparently he is immune to the cold. I think there's a bit of polar blood in him, lol Good one Duck! I've sent it to all me mates in the USA, as they're the ones obsessed with boobs, etc. HRH Dr Ice Printheth

Hi Donna~~~~~~~I believe those blue bottle stings are very painful. Mark had one once and was in agony. Keep some vinegar with you when you go camping. Flakey....hope everything goes well for you today. Fingers XXXX'd you finish the day retired. Well....we had a lovely time at Bunnings but boy it was hot. I've had a shower now and am feeling a bit weary so I might have a nanna nap. Big hugz Trifley X

Afternoon Wattlers, Very grey and looks like rain but none so far. Hope the hearing test went ok Vonny, I had one last week, nothing to it, I have some lose of hearing but not enough to warrant hearing aids, so will be checked again in 2 years, just another 2 year check to be done. What do men see in Bunnings , I suppose it's the male thing to women's clothes shopping. Hope all is well for your retirement Flakey, have a toast when you finish. The pics are gorgeous of Wattie on the ice Lew. Cheers for now Luv Sandra in the Gong Tomorrow I am meeting a lady who we share the same 4x and 3x Great Grandfathers on my Mothers line she is from WA and we met via hot matches on here, she has been touring 3 states. So should be an interesting day.

Hi I'm back, just this very second, haven't caught up with any news as yet will go and try to read a few pages. I ended up having to have a new hard drive that's why it took so long. Oh how I have missed you all luv Jillx

afternoon all, Same as you Sandra - some hearing loss consistant with aging!!! Come back in 2 years!!! Hope you are retired now Flakey and beginning to live the high life you deserve :) Bit tired - John is burning the candle at both ends with work and getting the boat ready at home. He is getting up very early to maximise his daylight hours. I don't do mornings!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vonny

Congrats to Peppermint Flake Woh Woh Woh!!! free, free at last, Enjoy this next part of your life Trifley sorry I missed the cocktail hour last night, I'm certainly hav'ing one for you at the moment, To You Special One Lew Lew thanks for the pickles, what came over from them was sheer beauty and stillness, was it quiet? Merle how's that leg and give himself a bit of a squeeze, no! not there, not the pipeline, I mean't his shoulder, sorry Derek, she's got such a wicked sense of humour. Donna when you feel better we all must have another GC meet, I'm sixty in march so I'll need some support for that, Hey that's not all that bad, I get to park in senior's parking, except there's usually other baby boomers there before me To all I've not mentioned, love and hugs, Jillx

Congratulations Flakey It will be high jinks in Melbourne tonight! I'm about to have a merlot in your honour! Hi Jill - glad the puter is fixed. When are you going OS and for how long? Good to hear from you Donna - hope the shoulder improves soon. Dinner time XX Anna
