Well Pam, you got that right . . . Ray is a happy little vegemite tonight, my boys are going to have a great time next weekend as they head off to the Grand Final. Bonus for him that Sydney won the AFL game too. (Yeeaaahhh to Mary as well) I had a great day, went out, got TLR and took him to lunch, then called at the 'House of Shaz' for a cuppa and a lovely chat. The renos are underway, just a mess there now, and no work on the weekend, so guess I will have to go out for the day on Monday too! Ray has to work for a few hours in the morning and then we are off into town to hit Paddys Markets and the seafood markets. Char grilled, stuffed calamari on the menu for tomorrow night, with a dash of baby occi. Benjamin, our little baby blue smurf in Bathurst has not been well, poor little mite has to come down tomorrow for some tests, so he and his lovely little mummy and daddy will be staying with us tomorrow night. The other 5 have been farmed out . . . Strange how things go full circle sometimes isn't it !! Many years ago there was a family in Cobar who had difficulties, when the Dad got sick, my parents helped them out a lot, now our little Super Mummy Krissy in Bathurst is being helped by one of their sons - they met by accident and didn't know the connection for ages after they met. Heather, hope DD has a wonderful time in Japan, and that her parents enjoy their escape. Sue, tell Tamika I hope she never gets another one of those dreaded headaches, poor love must have felt awful, especially being away from Mum. Be thinking of you when dental day comes around. Trifley, David and Lynne sound lovely people, your lucky to have them so close that they can drop in on you so often - you doing all this h/wk, your sounding awfully domesticted !! Give it up . . . its no good for you !! Sleep well wattlers, and have a lovely weekend Luv Laurie

GOOD MORNING WATTLERS Beautiful morning here - have been for a lovely walk. Birds singing, scent of flowers in the air, a slight mist over the mountains. It's good to be alive. Breakfast awaits - then taking Katherine shopping. Go the Broncos! I didn't see the game - went to a play staged by our local Repertory Societyinstead - but Chris elected to stay home and watch the game so he was full of it when I got home! Have you heard from your daughter yet Heather? What a wonderful experience. Hope you and OH have a lovely break. Nod nod, wink wink....!! Have a great day everyone. Luv Anna

Thank you everyone for best wishes to DD who very scaredly/excitedly climbed onto the bus at 2am.I don't expect to hear from her until tonight - Tokyo is one hour behind Melbourne. Once off the plane they have two trains and a bus to get to their accommodation. OK I'm off to the gym, then I plan to spread straw mulch all over the veg garden Congrats to the footy team winners ! ~~~~ Hz

Morning all, Lovely sunny day here. WOW Hz, the big adventure has started :) Hope she has a brilliant time! Glad you got some positive answers for Tamika, Tassie. My eldest had a migraine at school (as a teenager) but she had ALL the other symptoms except the headache. She was completely freaked out and the hospital was treating her as a drug case!!! Poor Kid. fortunately she only had a couple of other attacks and she realised what they were so could manage them. I have had the disturbed jagged vision a couple of times but not the headache either! PMSL Ducky. This was a dedicated indoor play area I took grand d to, and had to watch her like a hawk. (did I say that??? LOL) Mind you, it is scarey what that baby can do with the TV/DVD remote and the various mobile phones. Her fine motor skills are incredible.

Morning all ..do you know that I am still in my pj's and it is nearly 10 so I will go and do the necessary and be back later.. ~~~~~to ~~~~~all Love Mary xxxxx

Morning....Peeps....:>))) You have Email. Hopefully everyone has received the 'LOTTO' numbers. Tony Oz..:>))

Good Morning Just a quick hello, trying to get everything done by twelve and we are outa here.Yeah. congratulations Mary - see the swannies won and your other team - good on ya. Won't see much of HZ for the next few days - lol - Have a great time. Thanks for the lotto Tony -fingers crossed we get more than polly wafflers this week! Thai last night was devine, had satay vegetable/tofu skewers and calamari in sweet chilli,basil and veges. Ken had beef satay & Gai Yang (bbq chicken) - he always orders the same thing - the chef keeps telling him no matter how many times he orders it - he is not going to get the recipe! lol. Washed it down with a nice Oyster Bay Sauv blanc. mmmmm..... nice........ Goodness now I'm starving ( wish they were open for lunch!) I know its bad to wish it but I hope the rain stays away for tomorrow - have to get up and paint the roof of the cottage, if you hear a din - it will be my knees knocking like castanets - not real good with heights its ok getting up on the roof, and as long as I don't look down while I'm there , but freeze when its time to come down. Never mind Ken is just as bad as me - taking the phone up with me and already have the SES in the phone! lol Have a great weekend everyone - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ xx Jude 3

Afternoon all the Beautiful Wattlers and another brilliant day in Mudgee. Currently 25C and that pool is looking very inviting. Terry and friend are off visiting a few more vineyards. I don't go every time we have guests, as it can becoming a bit boring. Got the Lotto thanks Tony, Leah and Princess. Fingers crossed. I still have $16.45 is Wattie's kitty, so I think I wait until another super draw, subject to Wattie's instructions of course, lol. Ducky, some of those jokes you sent were, ummm, errrr, pathetic! pmsl. ~~~Waves to All the Wonderful Wattlers~~~ Lew Lew xxx :-))))

Lunchtime :) Stop splashing Lew!! Jude, not fair, I just have leftovers for lunch :( Did some gardening this morning, trying to reclaim the front jungle, I mean garden:) You should see the number of aphids on the roses!!!!!! It must be the warmer weather but I have never seen them so bad. When I knock the stems it literally rains aphids!! Ta for the email Tony. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vonny

Good arvo you lovely Wattlers & thanks Tony for the Lotto numbers. Had all the family around for dinner last night and now have the whole weekend to myself - although dtr told me before she took off on a uni excursion to Bathurst this morning that she needed a library book taken back to the UNSW over the weekend or it would be overdue!! Decided I would drive over there tomorrow as it's a 45 min trip and on the way back drop off at the Newtown Dendy to watch 'An Inconvenient Truth' - the Al Gore movie. Anyone seen it yet? Was out early this morning and then came home and decided that I might try reading the SMH on the day it arrived!! Instead of halfway through the week, when everything in it is ancient history! Well sat outside under the pergola and next thing I realise I had dozed off - mini 'nanna nap' style in the middle of the day!! Just not me!! Think I am getting into the relaxed mode ready for my week of work. Look out Queensland here I come. Will be catching up with Trifley on Tuesday and will definitely be taking some shots of that fabulous new hairdo. Trust you all have a lovely weekend. Lyn

Hi Lyn If you were reading the SMH it wouldnt take much to nod off..It is so big I get tired just trying to turn the pages.. lew Did it get warm enough to have a swim or did you reneg.. I am gradually getting my email sorted and into groups so I am very proud of myself,, some of you know what a whizzz I am at the puta so you should be having a good laugh..I know I am scared of this thing ,, it might bite me.. Thanks Tony for the lotto numbers..I agree we should keep what money we have in kitty for the next big one..Have you got the bed made yet ..Leave a section at the end of it to fit the plasma in..LOL It has been a lovely day so I just might go for a swim.. See ya later Love Mary xxx

Mary - yes the SMH can be quite cumbersome, but I start by culling the sections I will never read - Careers, Drive, etc and then sift through the rest. Like the Good Weekend maggo the best!! Have brought the laptop out into the pergola area and watching all the birds having a ball playing, washing and drinking in the bird bath (or River Ganges as I call it!) Have just looked across at laundry and caught sight of the ironing that needs doing - think I had best close the door, so that it doesn't stress me out. Fingers crossed for Lotto tonight.... Lyn

Arvo all, I'm having such an aimless day without the usual routine, OH has the footy on and I noticed he went out to wash the car (With a Bucket) so the Eagles must still be behind, then I heard a hoot and they have just kicked a goal - better go and be a bit of a supporter I guess. My garden has been well tended today, and I've just done a final watering of the newly sprouted carrots, peas, basil, spuds, beans, spring onions and also nasturtiums both in pots and around the new orange tree. I've also swept the paths and got rid of old pots etc. The wind hasn't died away completely, but has dropped.Time to relax now, pour myself a glass of wine and join the OH. Leftovers for tea - we always make a good nosh of them! Am looking forward to a sleep-in tomorrow, no rush to get away for our break, so I'll check in again before I go. Oh dear, sounds like I'd better go and cheer onthe Eagles.... ~~~ Hz

Hi my lovely, lovley friends, can/t spell don't care, this comes from the heart, things going on here, some good some not so, will be back, family stuff, bugger bugger boo! love you all, Jillxxx

Hi Jill, take care, thinking of you Pam
