Jood me thinks youd cheat and not do the laps first

Hi folks, just off to bed but thought I would have a quick nosey! Jood are you my Feng Shui friend? How are things? Liz

Ooops - sprung Liz - I was gonna get back to you. .. I'll answer your last email after lunch. Jude - I wouldnt cheat - honest - I'd never reach the spa from the other end .. would get too puffed out after about 5 yards .. pmsl Actually I'm a good swimmer, but just out of condition - badly. But I got an idea - I'm going to Bendigo in Januwerry - so I'll try and get a bit fitter in dd's pool But - I CAN do aerobics :) Jood

Outside temp 27C, pool temp 31C. I feel a dip coming on, lol

Afternoon Wattlers Lovely day on the Bay - too nice to do anything except enjoy! The Ray taxi has taken Glen and Narelle to Taronga Park Zoo (Really cute - Glen wanted to go to the place where I brought him his Gorilla named Taronga - he was 4 when he got it) and the taxi is currently delivering Amanda to her hotel in the city. The movie gets thumbs up . . . Meryl was sooo good - loved how she played the part . . . Lots of laughs. Then we went 'clubbing' - again lots of laughs - all those young things thinking they invented night life !!! Amanda is a star pupil, fully indoctrinated into the art of Martooni. Good to see you back Lyn, you are so blessed to have had a personal viewing of the tiara! Back to reality for me . . . someone has spilled something sticky on the kitchen floor and I cant ignore it any more so will get into it before the boss returns. Catch up with you all later luv Laurie

Afternoon Wattlers Well it is the best of days here today lovely and warm with just a slight spring breeze. Went for a walk to the shops this morning and for first time since winter I wore my thongs ................. the ones for my feet !!!! not the other ones, I think they would be far too uncomfortable pmsl, and jeans and tshirt, next step is getting out my peddal pushers ..... oh if they arent too big now I lost the weight, better go and check :-) Havent done much else today apart from pottering around here doing a couple of little things that hadnt been done from when we moved. Its really feeling like home now. Had my Mum, Dad, and Nan visit yesterday and Nan liked the house, said it looked a lot better even on the outside from the old one. Also a lot easier to keep clean, not half as much dust. Well I am going to go and have a coffee out in my back yard on swinging seat and enjoy the nice spring day for a while before girls get home from school. ~~~~~ to all~~~~~~ Cheers Sue

Hi Laurie - or should that also now read Your Royal Highness, all this royalty on the thread. Am starting to feel as if I should be tarted up in all my finery before I even get around to posting here. Glad you enjoyed the movie 'The Devil wears Prada', my dtr and I are planning on seeing that perhaps this week. She has read the book so I am wondering if she will enjoy the movie as much. Yes wasn't I just the lucky one not only being able to see the tiara but touch it too. Trifley didn't even demand that I wear my white gloves before I handled it. She was most amused with the beaded giraffe I gave her, as now each time you mention all your giraffes at Port Botany, she'll have her own to look at!! Yes Lew I had a great time in Qld - of course not long enough, but was able to not only catch up with HRH Trifley but also my NZ friends that I met in Bondi when I first came to Oz all of 36 yrs ago today. They came across from Auckland and we both rented apts at Broadbeach. However we spent much of our time visiting friends, going out into the hinterland etc and only actually saw the beach one morning when I went for a long walk. Got caught in a huge storm whilst on our way up to visit Hinze Dam and my poor friend thought the car was going to slide off the mountain road, meanwhile Jessica and I sat in the back literally rolling around in laughter - not very considerate are we?. There was hail, lashing rain, wind and mist all combined to make for something out of a comedy skit!!! Couldn't see an inch in front of us and I felt as if I should get out and walk in front waving a red flag (or red undies) and carrying a miners lamp! So back to the real world tomorrow ie: work, but no doubt after a couple of hours there I should feel as if I have never been away! Catch you all later Lyn

Afternoon all, Well the wedding was beautiful. The happy couple had hired an old 'Q'lander type' house, very pretty, the views amazing. The ceremony was held outside in the garden with this beautiful backdrop all around, simply stunning, oh I haven't said where it was, it was near a little village called Clunes about twenty minites from Lismore. Kylie (the bride) had organized a bus to pick guests up from the motels in town so no worries about drinking or even trying to find our way back to the motels in the dark. The bride looked beautiful and the groom nervous, as they should, lol, The porta dunnies were fun, they had been placed on an incline so the step up was interesting, specially in high heels and in the dark, guess who fell over coming out of the loo ?, I swear it had nothing to do with the strong wine, Joanne and Karl return to the UK tomorrow, sob sob, It's been lovely having her home again. They plan to return for good in another fifteen months or so, lots of saving to do. Still trying to find eldest D a house to rent, so many people not enough houses, we'll get there, just keep on looking. Have'nt heard from Donna lately, You okay Donna? please check in more often, and Cilla also, how are you? have you got your results back yet? Love to you all and big hugs to our Queen, oooo! is it okay to ciber touch the royal one. pmsl. I remember a certain PM getting his wrist slapped for giving UK Queenie a cuddle lol Cheers Jillxx

Afternoon all :) I was up early also (before 6pm) but spent the morning boating, going to Floriade and having a cooked breaky on an island in the middle of Lake Burley Griffin! Perfect weather. Then my sister turned up about 1pm and my youngest D and hubby also. They arrived home from Birmingham last night. So we all had to go over to eldest D to look at new great-niece and niece, respectively. Just back for 1hr and then we are going to go walking!! Got to get serious about getting fit for Mudgee :) Lovely to see you back, Lyn and also Jill. Sounds like Mary and Laurie have to recover from visitors. Pickles of Bubs are coming in a moment so if you don't get them tonight, please let me know. ~~~~~~~~~~~ to all, Vonny
