Morning there Shaz and all you other lovely Wattlers. Thought I'd just tiptoe in and say Hi before rushing off to work as I have an all day course to attend which I am sure will require reinforced matchsticks to keep the eyes open by 3pm. (Perhaps make that midday) Have a good day all - temps will soar again today, so don't get toasted. Slip, slop, slap.. Talk to you later Lyn

Morning Wattlers Fingers Crossed I dont get kicked off before I send this. Laurie thanks ever so much for the call yesterday. When my phone rang I thought aw b****y phone, then I saw your name on the screen and my mood changed immediately :-))) Thanks for all thinking of me, only have today to go and everything is finished with old house and I can sit back and enjoy new place and the children when they get here on Thursday. We still have only got dial up Grrrrr. David rang to see what the hold up is and they 'dodo' recon that it was refused by Telstra as there was conflicting details, but neither thought to confirm anything with us. So David tried to ring Telstra to find out what was going on and, wouldnt you know it, it was too late, so as soon as he gets in from work tonight, he will be on the phone to them. Ok going to send this while I can ~~~~~~ to everyone special ~~~~~~~ and (((((hugs))))) to Trifley Cheers Sue

good morning Wattlers I wonder if Lara is on the road? 6am start sounds cruel to me!! Heellooooo out there Lara - have a safe trip. Glad to hear that you are organised into the new house Devley - loved the pickles of the Hawk wall - you've certainly been busy! Hope you get your broad band sorted soon. We'll be pleased to see you back on a regular basis again. Lovely to see you back on the thread last night Queen Trifley - hope you are feeling better today and that you have a lovely time out with your darling Graeme. Are you in the pink today Lew Lew - pink in places which haven't seen the sun for a while?????? Vonny - you are starting to get craft moments forgetting the camera at Floriade - you'll just have to go back again. Hmmmmmmm - Lyn - shall have to check my freezer for things that have been missing for a while!! There are things in that freezer which should be recycled - perhaps that's a job for later this week! Mary - I'm so pleased that you are loving your new lifestyle. It's just wonderful that everything has turned out so well. I'll be waiting for the pickles of the new furniture! Today - the 19th - is our 19th wedding anniversary so Dear one is taking me out for lunch. Seems like only yesterday we exchanged vows in the scented gardens in Laurel bank Park. It was on the Carnival of Flowers Saturday - the first day of the school holidays - so that we could escape for a while on our honeymoon before school went back again. I had known him for about 8 years before that so it is really 27 years that we have been together. Jill and Donna - haven't seen you for a while. Hope all is OK. Well - off to get organised. Have a great day everyone. Love Anna

Ahhh Anna, Happy anniversary to you and Chris, hope you have a lovely day. Shaz . . . now I think I understand the attraction of doing the weeding out the front, are we to understand that you had a bling find out the front then ???? By the way when I was at you place I lost a nice . . . . teeeheee Sue, glad your getting sorted - but then come Christmas you will probably be still saying I wonder where I put this and that. I have heaps of boxes (as you know from corner in spare room - they are the one that wouldn't fit in the storeroom) still unpacked from when we moved up here last December. Trouble is I dont do throw out very well! Well I gotta get out of here, I have a few things to do this morning then after lunch I am meeting Joodles at the Archives. So have a great day everyone luv Laurie

Happy Anniversary, Anna & Chris, and may there be many more to come! Great to hear from everyone, particularly those like Leah who is one of the quiet ones, lol. Not long now, Donna, and you can get that scan over and done with. Vonny, I can highly recommend Miele dishwashers. They are excellent and quiet. Mmm, Lyn, any cold, hard cash in that freezer, lol. Mary, it sounds like you should have moved to your new place years ago. Don't you just love new furniture! Where are the pickles??? Laurie and Jood, have a great day amongst the Archives. Safe driving, Lara. Let us know when you get to your destination. Trifles, I'll try and ring you later this afternoon for a bit of a waffle. ~~~~waves to all the Wonderful Wattlers~~~~ Have a wonderful day Lew Lew xxx

Morning all :) Unexpected day home so hope to get some more paper sorting done. Thanks for the miele recommendation Lew - quiet sounds good. Can't complain - the old dishwasher is about 25 years old!!! They made them well back then! But noisy as all get out. Will have to go comparison shopping. Safe driving Lara. Enjoy your day Laurie and Jood. I'll pop in and out during the day. ~~~~~~~~~~ to Donna. Hope you have a good and interesting day Lyn :) Shaz, nearly all the tulips are already out at the top of the Park but hardly any out down near the lake. Is very warm again today.

Hi everyone I have just sent out pickles of the new furniture and if anyone didnt get them please let me know.. must rush as I have to go out for a short time.. Back later Love Mary xxxx

Good morning Wattlers, just got back from an hours walking,then we stopped for cake and coffee before coming home........lol Should be 28degs today but the wind is terrible, we were being sandblasted while we walked. Tassie you'd be a hawks supporter then???hehehe I cant talk I hung my autographed Geelong jumper on the family room wall yesterday. Mary your unit looks loverly,I'm so glad you sound so happy there Lara travel safe. Trifley, keep doing whatever your doing that makes you feel good. Vonney, we looked at 2drawer dishwashers but decided against them as the drawers didnt feel very strong. But that was 2 years ago so maybe they have improved since then. Going to find a sheltered part of the yard and do some weeding,back later ~~~~~~ Flakey

Hi Flakey, warm and windy here too. Mary, the place looks fantastic! No wonder you're soooo happy. Good for you. Tassie, you crazy girl, lol. Now we can see why they want to do an article on you, heeeee. Back to research. Lew Lew xxx

Hi Wattlers, Just read back from yesterday so I'm up to date - doubt that I will catch up with all before tho - pppp Wattie has just spent an hour in jail. We did the Crime & Punishment tour of the Ottawa Jail which is now used as a Hostel - we had thought of staying there originally. This morning we did the Lady Dive tour - takes you around some parts of Ottawa that we didn't see yesterday on our trolley tour and then goes into the Ottawa River and shows you the back of the Parliament buildings and some of Gatineau on the French side. After lunch at the Elephant & Castle we walked out to the Mint - feet are still sore but I had a lovely soak in the bath last night and that helped a lot - having another one when I go back to room. Ah this is the life. We did some souvenir shopping and then had dessert at the Elephant & Castle. Lara would have enjoyed Dayna's - Baileys Cheesecake. I got part way through Highland Bread Pudding - got the rest in a doggie bag and will have more for supper, breakfast etc. etc. Tomorrow we are doing the river cruise and maybe the War Museum - both in opposite directions tho. Hi to everyone - sounds like you are going okay Trifley - hope it stays that way. Tassie - glad you are getting settled too Mary - glad things are going well for you too - at least you have made the move. Hi to Christine - where in Ireland are you? Last day here tomorrow - it was spitting as we walked back tonight so hope the rain stays away tomorrow - saw enough of that in NY - told our little deli people to send the rain to Australia instead - have you got it yet? See you later, Gwenda xx

Hi all, hope everyone is keeping well and safe Beautiful day here again today. Hi Gwenda, glad you are enjoying the sightseeing. Donna, have you got the results of the scan yet. Don't OD on nicotine afterwards tho. No Shaz, didn't over do the chardy at the barbie. Tassie don't work too hard and take time to relax. I haven't seen the 'Hawks' wall yet. Anna and Chris - congratulations on your wedding anniversary. Hope you enjoy lunch. Laurie and Jood, did you find anything at the archives. Lew Lew, have you spoken to the Queen yet ? Give her our love. And how is the head today, did any of your little pillis help ? Vonney, do you want to come and sort out my paperwork, sounds like you are getting plenty of practice at the moment. Mary the pickles are just great. You are a lucky girl. The unit is looking really good. Enjoy !!!!! Flakey, where abouts do you go walking. Anyway, must fly (quack, quack), off to the drs Pam

Hi Wattlers Lovely sunny day here today, not too windy. I managed to get some more grass cut this morning. Looks nice now, if only it didn't grow. I think the green concrete might be a good idea LOL Shaz, have you tried one of those lawn weed killer specially for bindi's. We have heaps of the blasted things. We ran a lawn mowing repair business from here when we first came and we inherited all kinds of nasties from them. Anyway, I find the lawn weed killer works, I hate to use it, but the dogs and cat really suffer if I don't. Anna and Chris congratulations on your wedding anniversary, I hope that you had a really nice day. Perhaps we should add anniversary's to our list as well as birthdays. Mine is 12 May 1969. Donna, how did it go? Don't keep us in suspense too long. Trifley, glad you are better, how were the sculptures and the lunch? Lyn, did I hear mini meet on the Gold Coast? Mary, your unit looks lovely, and so does the lifestyle. John looked well, it must be doing him good to have moved. Are his legs getting better. Jill, how are you, hope the face is getting better. Hope you are not having more family problems. Please don't stress out on your own, a problem shared and all that. Talking of problems, we had a bit telling off from Neville's youngest this week end and it seems that there is some problem with her granddaughter, Tayler. We don't know what it is about but there is to be a court case. Taylors mother Chelsea was only just 15 when Tayler was born. At the time the babys father's parents wouldn't accept that he was the father. Chelsea is now with another young man, but Tayler has been going to her real dad some weekends and it would appear that her has been molesting her. We are guessing that is what the case is all about. Terrible thing. This boy will be only 20 now. Oh I had better go before this turns into a novel. Love to all I haven't mentioned Luv SuzyQ

Welllllll
