Nite everyone Derek

Good Morning Wattlers and Mudgee Party Goers, Well it seems that a good time has been had by all. I look forward to my copy of the movie. Its very mixed weather today, drizzly, sunny, windy and earlier this morning we had the brightest and best rainbow that I have ever seen. Pity it didn't finish in my garden. A pot of gold would come in handy just now. Not much happening here today, Neville was trying to do some work and his electric planer has decided to pack in. I think all our gear is getting old like us. Dreekie, my OH suffers with restless legs, do tell me about your remedy. Mary I hope that John will be fit and healthy in May. I am sure that we will still be here then. Unless some agent comes up with a quick sale. We have a few bits to do before we actually put up the for sale sign. Are you going to try to visit O'Reilly's while you are here? I know you like it there. Sue, sorry I think that I may have missed some thing, who did you go to see last night? I had thought you were refering to your Oh when you mentioned a hot guy. LOL Merle, I am trying to keep positive, but this is a situation that I have gone through often. I just hope that when we finally get away it will never crop up again. I am hoping to disappear from the reach of certain members of my family. It looks like the rain is back, I keep running round closing doors and windows and then again to open them. To warm to keep them closed all the time. And I do like the fresh air. Well I will away until after lunch, hope to catch some of you then Safe journey home to the revellers in Mudgee. Luv SuzyQ

Afternoon Wattlers Just checking in before we go swimming. SuzyQ not sure if I mentioned who I was going to see or not, apart from my OH he was there too :-) But we went to see Adam Brand, not sure if you know him or not, he sings Country, races V8 utes of course they are Fords and he loves Sprintcar racing, a real revhead, and not bad looking neither hee hee. ~~~~ to Dreekie and Cat sorry I catch you before you went to bed. Hope everyone who is travelling home from Mudgee meet have a safe trip home. Cheers Sue

Every one must be out enjoying themselves, or maybe travelling home from Mudgee. Hope you enjoyed your swim Sue. Will look in a little later SuzyQ

Afternoon Wattlers Suzy yes I did enjoy my swim, only thing it was a bit crowded, as we went to the basin and it is very popular. For those who are not familiar with the basin it is the picture that was used for Launceston on the Monopoly voting. Now to go and find something for tea, just having catch can. Cheers Sue

HI mob... The merrymakers should be on their way home by now..are some staying another night.. Tassie Hope you feel refreshed after the swim,, I know I usually do..we had a very light dinner and hope it leads to some weight loss.. My trouble is I don't have to eat it just look at it and I put on weight.. SuzyQ I do hope you are still there when we come through.. We were thinking of staying at Oreillys for a night or two,,(cant afford any more) and if OH makes a really good recovery we will stop in Surfers for a few nights also..I just feel like I have won lotto with the good result of OH operation..May it continue... Morning Derek,, Did you have a nice sleep..Do you have porridge for brekky like a good scot.. I remember when we were in Hamilton staying with my granny and she would get up summer and winter and go to early morning Mass and on her way home stop off and pick up some beautiful freshly baked baps..oohhh I did love them and it was the one thing I missed when we left..there goes the diet,,I am thinking of food again... Heather Are you having a restful day.. Did you get any rain. I hope you have installed a rain water tank,,, Fanny Are you there ,, I hope you are having a restful day.. Merle,, Have a good nights sleep tonight.. butter the dog and snuggle down and don't let anything bother you,, Hope you get to the BBQ and if Himself is not up to par, pop him in the gopher and tie the oxygen to it..and turn it up high,, He will be a teenager in 10 minutes..don't forget the spare,, If you start to feel stressed ,, Have a whiff of it yourself..stick a bit of laughing gas in it too,,really confuse him,, Back later to see if anyone has got home.. Love Mary xxxxx

Hi everyone, slept very well thank you. Went to the bbq and had a great time. himself was struggling to get himself dressed when I got home from Church and would you believe he never murmered when I told him we'd have to take the wheel chair.Silly cow me nearly cried. It's the first time back in the wheel chair in 4 years. Shows how much he's slipping. Still, he really enjoyed it and is now fast asleep having his nanny nap at 5.22 p.m.!!! Well sir from W.A. if youre that good you better get into gear and organise another one.' Seriously tho' do you reckon we could have a mini meet somewhere in perth in May? Suzx families can be a right royal pain in the you know where. I always wanted a real family xmas and when it finally happened all hell broke loose and we were left with the mess and totally shattered. Thankfully most of the trouble makers are dead now though I must say that I tremble a little at the thought of my two brothers and sundry others coming to visit in April. At least they don't hold grudges and have learned that when pushed I bite ! Wasn't a redhead for nothing Wonder who'll be the first to wander in from Mudgee.

Evening Wattlers Merle glad you had a good sleep and the bbq turned out ok, sorry to hear that himself was not quite up to par, but I hope he enjoyed himself while he was out. I cant say I have had family troubles, I have been blessed up to date with a very loving and caring family, I just hope thay my children can look back on life when they are older and feel the same way as me. Cheers Sue

Hi everyone .. Merle Glad you and Himself enjoyed the BBQ and now you take it easy tonight and rest,, Hows the knee.. Tassie I meant to have a swim today also but had to go do some shopping for OH and when I got back I just got lazy..I will be glad when he can drive again.. at least another week and then we will see,, His neck gets a bit painful at times and he has to rest it and take a Panamax. Will be glad when everything heals and he is back to normal..His walking is so much better than it used to be so he is happy abour that.. Back later to see if anyone from the Mudgee meet is on line.. Love Mary xxxx

Mary Im so pleased for you and John that the progress has been good. I can see you would have earned a holiday after all your care and driving you have given over the past couple of weeks, but that whats love and marriage is all about. Im sure John appreciates all you have done for him. Wonder what stories will surface from the Mudgee meet?? Cheers Sue

Evening all, including this UK mob and WA mob. Well some of the mob are having BBQ and drinkies at the Caravan Park this evening. Vonny & John will soon be home. I (Jood), Sandra, Jude Diy, Jude Flakey, and a few of us leave for home tomorrow and some will travel around a bit before going home. The wineries were good, but Flakey, Lew & I talked more than drank - I think I might have sampled a wee drap from about 3 wineries, didn't buy any. The lunch at Deebs was something else. A lebanese restaurant, we sat in two long tables under the trees. I lost count of the number of dishes we had - and what a way to try lebanese food (for those of us who have never had it before). Yum. If I had read the menu (which was a set menu), I may not have ever tried it, and some things I had no idea of what we were eating. Late afternoon we got up from the tables and wandered off - We 3 came back here for a while after Lew showed us some homes around Mudgee. Trifley & Graham called in for a quick cuppa, and then we left for the caravan park, tho the 2 Judes still did not have a drink. None of us felt like eating tonight, so we've just been sitting around the loungeroom talking. We were pleased to send 2 storms to Lew, one on the Friday night and one Sunday, we kept Saturday free for the party. Apparently some good falls, too. Place is looking green. I do wish you could all see Lew lovely home and the fantastic view. You won't hear from me till I get home, as I have to pack everything up and put it in the car for an early getaway. I have a meeting back home I have to get back for, and then an appt. Tassie - I too wondered who this hot guy was! You had us all in suspense! Merle - hope all well with you. Mary it was great talking to you the other night, I was so pleased. Oh I really wished you'd been here. It is so wonderful to be with everyone we have known for so long. Even the oh's are getting to know each other well. Hi Yvette & Cat ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ to anyone else. Derek, I totally believe in aromatherapy. See yers soon Love Jood

SuzyQ - special hugs for you Jood

Morning everyone ;-) I'll be finishing Jess's bedroom today, shouldn't take too long. Lovely sunny day here doesn't feel too cold either which is good :-) Tassie did you win the Monopoly? Suzy Q hope everything works out for you. Mary glad to hear John's op was successful and he's doing ok :-) Merle glad you enjoyed your bbq off to make breakfast ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Catxx
