The deserts were lovely and we made pigs of ourselves..to many to name,, the prawns were yummy but we had so many we needed a bath after we finished,,we grabbed a handfull of paper towels and used them instead..No mussells this time,, which was a pity, as I am sure they would have gone down very nicely. You could have picked from Chinese, Italian,english roasts, etc.etc.For dinner tonight all I had room for was a tomato sandwich...should have brought home a doggy bag to save me the trouble ... Tomorrow we diet.. Love Mary xxx

Good evening Wafflers - well we have just had a BBQ - late dinner tonight due to unforseen circumstances . . . . we yacked too much! What a great day with great friends going to have a read and see what you have all been up to luv Laurie ( with Joodles and Tassie Sue in tow - Oh and the lovely Ray too)

Hi laurie and Judy...and everyone else... Just got your pics Laurie and looks as though you all had a brilliant time... Who mentioned desserts??? Hope you save some for me ????? catch you tonight when you have all had a good sleep... Anne :)))

Prawns...ppppppp) Sleep well Gwenda and Vonny.....you probably wont because you'll have indigestion from all that food...lol TX

Hi Laurie...got the pickles. Good sized martoonie glasses. Sleep well tonight. love TX

Glad the pickles are arriving OK - bit bleary eyed . . . Yes oh Great one . . . they were pretty good martoonis . . Lew & I just had to have one for you - then the little bear wanted to get in on the act too . . . lol The day was long, but it went by so quick - TLR and I collected Sue, Jude & Ken from airport and we went to breaky down the street op the beach. Then quickly back here to aptmnt to get orgainised to get itno the Casino. The five of us met up with Terry & Lew, (mainly cause all 7 of us were lost !!!) and then we rambled to where the other Wattlers were. Would have bee a lot easier except they wouldn't let us in the Casino area with balloooons so we had to walk around !! Anyway we eventually made it to the dinning area and met up with the others - lots of excitment at the sight of Lew & Terry, everyone thinking they were in Bright !!! Fantastic company, I went for the plate of prawns, then some salad (with a few more prawns - then I designed my own sweets . . . . I went thru what was there and added what I needed to my bowl to make a trifle - then Lew suggested if I put in some of my wine that would make all of the difference - she was right - as normal!!! As I said above the day went so quickly - didn't get as much time to talk with everyone that I would have liked. Well night all - we are going to do some sightseeing in th morning before the interstate travellers have to catch a plane so best get some sleep luv Laurei

Good Morning Wattlers Tassie here, I have just spent the last hour looking out at the lovely view from Lauries balcony. WOW that is all I have to say. Yesterday I had the most wonderful time will all the Wattlers, what can I say, you would find a nicer bunch of people anywhere. After we left the Casino, the lovely Ray and Laurie took Jood and myself for a tour of the city, then back to their place for a BBQ tea, it was a late tea, but none of us minded I dont think as we ate and ate and ate at the casino. Well I am going to get off here and have a shower and then a bit more sight seeing with Laurie, Ray, Jood, and we are going to catch up with Jude3 and Ken also. Catch you when I get home later today. Cheers Sue

Morning all, Jood here, all showered and dressed, 3 giraffes with their heads in the sky, can hear a plane in the distance, - no love letters in the sand this morning, but people out early. The annual City to Surf race is on today - 62000 (Im not one of them in case you wondered!) Wow is all *I* can say too, brilliant company yesterday - we sure are a nice bunch. I can see we are gonna have to have an aussie meet for ALL of us one day!!! Im heading back to the mts this morning so will catch up later. Im much better now, just the remnants of a cough/cold, I think I had an URTI as well before. Love to all Jood

morning all, very sad Vonny here. Somehow my little cat Tia disappeared yesrterday. Up early and been walking the streets, later I'll knock on doors. She is a home pussy but somehow got out yesterday while I was away :( ~~~~~~~~~~~~Vonny.

Dear All, Have been up for a bit but still have the 'jamies on . After a huge sleep last night i'm still worn out. What a beautiful day for siteseeing Laurie et al. Hope your puss turns up Vonny, have you looked in your cupboards? Washing beckons, love Yvette x

Good Morning Wattlers Back from Byron Bay - Katherine and her friend had a wonderful day - had photos of themselves taken individually with members of the Pop band Evermore who were performing at the Uni open day. Thje girls were stoked! Sounds like a good time was had by all in Sydney yesterday. So glad it all went well and that good company and good food were enjoyed by all. Glad that you were able to get there Jood - and of course Lew and Terry - what sly little Wattlers they are! You will have a lot to think about over the coming weeks Devly - it was wonderful that you could be there. Hope you are feeling a little better Trifley. We drove past the Mudgerebah turn off on our way to Byron and I waved to you! Pity about the Lotto - you would think with all those chances we would have got something! Thanks for the piccies Laurie - I'm still trying to put names to some faces - I guess I will work it out by process of elimination! Can you tell me who was there? Laurie, Jood, Devly, Vonny, Sandra, Gwenda, Mary, Shazz, Lyn, Yvette, Lew Lew, Jude - and Ray, Terry, Rob and Ken - I don't know who else! Best catch up on the laundry - it's always there after you've been away for a few days! Hope little puddy comes home Vonny. How worrying for you. Love to all Anna

Good Morning Wattlers, It seems like a good day was had by all. Hope you are all out doing your excercises this morning. He He What about speach's and awards, didn't Lew want to part with her straight jacket award? Love the red hair Yvette, funny I thought that you were a blonde. Joodles, it must be the good company that has cured your cold. Hope you are feeling better today Sandra. Vonny, I do hope that you find your cat, I would be frantic. Now where was every one else yesterday, it was very quiet here, Tony was doing the vacuuming and I did a bit of dusting. Then we played cowboys and indians for a minute but I couldn't compete with a VB. Story of my life. Thanks for the photos Laurie, I too will have to scutinise them and put a few names and faces together. Hope you got home safe and sound Tassie. My guess is that you will have lots to tell the family, they will be getting fed up of you before the week is out. Well I will go for a while and drop by later Luv SuzyQ

Good Morning Wattlers, What a gorgeous day for the sightseers, hope they dident get caught up in the City to Surf race on in the city this morning. I actually feel worse today, but i'm glad it kept at bay for yesterday, my ribs are sore from coughing and sneezing, oh well can only get better. catch you all later Cheers Sandra in the Gong. ps Vonny hope you find your puddy cat.......

Hi all, sounds likes you all had a wonderful time yesterday, what a lovely surprise Lew and Terry turning up and Joods being able to make it. Laurie not all of the pickys came out, the e-mail with the 5 pictures for you only showed a lot of writing, thanks for the other two though. Wattles is going to end up a martoonolich, what a happy life he leads. Vonny has your cat been found yet? I hope she's alright. Having a quiet day here I might even do some FHing will pop back later, luv Jillx

jill, suzi and anna, can you recieve larish jpeg files? i''ll pm you a pic from tassie. love Yvette x

Hi everyone Wot's this???? No wattlers in the City to Surf? PMSL I'm not surprised...sight-seeing is a better thing to do on a Sunday. Vonny....any sign of Tia? Yvette is right....have you checked all the cupboards, laundry, garrage....wardrobe? I hope she's ok. Yvette.....always carry tissues!! PMSL Hi Anna....apart from meeting a pop group...lol....did Katherine find out anything useful about the Uni? Hi SuzyQ...how's puss cats today? Sandra...healing thoughts headed your way. Keep the fluids up to flush out all those bugs. Joodles...good to hear you're feeling better. A day out with good company works wonders. Graeme has finished all the washing and headed off to work so now I can have a nice long shower. One of my nieces and her kids are coming to visit me this arvo so I'd better get a wriggle on. see you all later. love Trifley X

~~~~~waves to Jill...how ya going? TX

Hi, Just got home from church and a good bye morning tea for my friends. GOOD NEWS :) Just as I arrived home 15 mins ago, Tia turned up - dirty and very very hungry but alive :) I'm so thankful - must find your Thread Laurie:) I shared at church that she was missing and they prayed for her to come home. It's so unlike her to go missing and I don't know how she got out yesterday! Enjoyed our time at Star City yesterday so much and YES we must work on an Aussie meet :) Gwenda and I were thinking that an ACT meet would be good next year around the Floriade festival time :) (Sept/Oct) Have to go - the 11th plank awaits :) ~~~~~~~~~ A very happy Vonny
