Morning Wattlers . . . and a happy Sunday to you all The sun is just coming out of the cloud cover on the horizon, and looks like it is going to be a lovely day on the Bay. Up at 5am, and as I was making an early cuppa already the tugs were bringing in the first (unless one snuk in while I was asleep) ship of the day. Have just returned from taking TLR to the airport and I have a funny one to tell !!! Did you hear the one about the lady on the most wanted list for smuggling drugs into the UK ???? Thats me !!!!! I got the little card in the mail on Friday to pick up a parcel from the post office . . . when I picked it up yesterday, they handed me a plastic bag containing some of the things I had posted to Deb & her family in UK - back in April. There was a note from UK customs warning me about sending illicit drugs in the mail !! Anyway while I was at the airport this morning, I sought out a customs officer for an explanation . . . they were very nice, looked everything up for me and explained what would have happened. Among the things I sent Debs, was a set of little canisters containing Australian herbs . . . apparently one of those herbs belongs to the hemp family !!! OOOWWWAAAHHHHH . . . . I'm a drug smuggler !!!!! LOL PMSL etc etc etc Little customs man suggested I write a letter and gave me the info on the herb to include, so that I dont have any trouble next time I travel in Europe !!! Ah well. . . can't say life is dull !!! Rotten sods though . . . they also kept the Tiger Woods PGA tour game that I sent over for Peter. Funnily enough, the Aussie childrens books are missing - but they gave me back the Kiwi ones - dont know if that implies that the Aussie ones are no good and had to be thrown out, or the Kiwi ones weren't good enough for them to keep . . . Ah its good to have something to laugh about !!!! Off to make a cuppa and watch the day unfold luv Laurie

Morning Wattlers Just quickly popping my head in as I have visitors and am busy being the hostess! Vonny - bad luck about the boat - nothing is sacred. Men have no sense of occasion at all. Glad you had a good dinner. Pity about the numbers - there's always next week. Did you all realize that next Friday is September 1st - WATTLE DAY! We'll have to have a special celebration. Be back on tonight. Love Anna

oooo drugs. nasty. my prohibited import was an electronic fly swatter, like the plastic tennis raquet... went thru my bags - whats this- illegal!! makes you feel silly hey. kids are at cricket, i'm going to all the things i now wish i'de done yesterday. wattle day always seems too late. although it means spring and thats great. the other day when I got to work, the wind was blowing the wattle. you know how it goes into big puffy clumps. well, i got 'clumped' . yellow wattle in red hair. i thought it was lovely. made my hair smell nice.lol yvette xxxxxxxxx

Morning Wattlers. Back on the laptop today, as my desktop has now decided that it doesn't want to connect to the internet. I have emailed Computer Man and await his reply. Trifles, we went to the Railway Restaurant which has been established in the old 1884 Railway Station. The food was very good. Smoked Salmon starters served with a corn fritter and for main I had the beef tenderloin wrapped in prosciutto on a creamed potato and garlic bed. mmmmmmmm Anna, we'll have to think of something special to do on Wattle Day. Perhaps we should all go and buy a little Lotto ticket, like 10 games for $5.60, on top of our normal weekly ticket, but each Wattler must buy it on the Friday! What does everyone think? Naughty Laurie, lol. But it makes you wonder just how much stuff goes missing and who ends up with it, doesn't it! Vonny, sounds like you had a lovely anniversary meal, now get back to the boat! lol How's the throat, Tassie? Bet you had a great time at the footy. Now, see, I've always used Nortons and have never had a problem - go figure. Have just spoken with Rebecca, as she and Ruby have just returned from 4 weeks in the UK. They are coming up for lunch on Tuesday, so I can have my Ruby fix. Well, I'd better go and get some work done. Love to you all Lew Lew xxx

MORNING. Sorry to bother you......but we ar looking for a Laurie in Oz sometimes known as Lollie or Lol....usually wears 'Bling' Last seen running from an Airport terminal with aboot alf a kilo of Hemp in tiny cannisters....and 6 boxes of Cigarette papers. This person is Dangerous. Please report her to abuse. Ta......Dickless Tracey

Oh my God, oh my God, I know who you're looking for, Dickless, and I'm afraid she's probably going to try and make a run for the Qld border!!!! I think she'll probably be stopping in Byron for further 'provisions'. Set up road blocks, put out the tyre spikes and watch yourselves. This one is dangerous PC Lew Lew xx

golly news travels fast on here. if someone gets hold of the wattle list, dickless will catch up with you quickly. yx

Watch yourself, Fanny, it appears you also have form. You can run, but you can't hide. PC Lew lew

number challenge coming through. yx

is it as good for you as it is for me? yx

charge yx

my fly swatter was the best piece of plastic garbage i'de ever purchased. glad the youngest child talked me out of purchasing bulk items, i would have been truely devastated. i will buy a lotto ticket on friday - i'l write it on my hand so I remember, but just in case , please remind me! yx

Are you telling us that you're not going to wash your hand between now and Friday??????????????

Thank u PC Lew Lew. We suspected this person may take orf. We have the Q.L.D borders secured with Border Collies and Queensland Healers ( in case of an accident ). This crinamal was also seen at Woodstock in the late 60s and known to be partial to... 'Marry who ya wanna' D.T's

Pleased to be of assistance, Dickless. We must rid this earth of such devious and dangerous crinamals. I think the Border Patrol will do the trick. PC Lew Lew at your service
