Onna cold 'n frosty morning Fanny? .. You're JOKING! .. pmsl Jood

Hello mary, Gosh you lot really copped it over eastside today. Ballarat looked like a picture post card on the telly tonight. Went to tassie this time last year to see the snow and not a whisper.

hello all, sooo cold a fire so Mr D is happy Mary, it is a peoney Trifley ((()))), not nice hope it is passing by now Fluffy ((0))) thinking of you always Chriisey names??? When is that she says with head in sand lol JA

JA thanks for the lovely pics, and especially of Mr D - wonder what he was looking at lol You dont really have to have a chrissie name, but you could put bling on your name .. pmsl Merle - where are you from? Jood

Good Morning all, cold but sunny. Am debating whether to put the fire on for the morning to get rid of the chill. Did a bit of FH last night. Almost forgotten how to do it! :) have a nice day - I'm home today so will be popping in and out. ~~~~~~~~~~ Vonny

Good Morning All Welcome Merle glad to see you made it. Hey you should be down here in Tassie now. Tuesday and yesterday they had snow up the Western Tiers around the Great Lake area. Wonder if it will keep up til xmas ha ha. Today we have got a lovely sunny day expecting 17 so I think we have got all the cold stuff we are going to get for a while. We had our great Tug off this morning lol. No Im not being rude, we had a Tug of War between Hobart and Launceston, Hobart unfortunately won so they have bragging rights for the year as it looks like it may become a yearly event, but after all said and done we still have all the things that matter like the footy and V'8's that Hobart would love to have haa haa. Tony you liked the bit about our imaginary border half way between Hobart and Launceston and our gate that must be kept shut to stop them migrating North pmsl. Evidently the rivalry has been going on for years and back about 100 years ago the 2 Mayors from each city met in Launceston to literally 'bury the hatchet' it is still buried in the footpath in the centre of Launceston. Fanny yes I am going to go for a walk this morning as soon as I finish here, it is a lovely day and only aboout a half hour walk to the city, I have a couple of competition entry forms to put in to the local paper, maybe I might win a lovely chrissy hamper or a Holden Viva, mmmmm if I win that I will have to sell it for a Ford :-))))))) Joodles I just heard an item on the radio which was talking about the 'Endeavour' sailing ship replica that is going to be sailing from Sydney to Hobart in Feb and March anyone interested in travelling in it can contact people concerned but you have to be fit as you are required to man the riggings and all that. The event that you mentioned may be linked to this also with the ships being rowed around Tassie around the same time, I will let you know more when I find out more. ~~~~~ to all ~~~~~ See you when I get back. Cheers Sue

brrr, got up early to go walkies, went back to bed. i don't know whether we have rain or melting snow- its that cold. just waiting for it to stop so i can. love to all yvette x

Morning all. overcast and cool this morning. Funny our unit is quite warm so being full brick it must hold the heat.We had a bit of rain last night but nothing to speak of. Hope we get some more today. Sorry you didnt get your walk Fanny. never mind you can do some h..k instead..lol Queenie and Laurie do you still have roofs on your houses.Nasty weather oop north..SuzyQ Hows your place also.. I hear a coffee comming so Im off, back later, Love Mary xxxxx

I'm still waiting for this bitterly cold weather and rain we are supposed to be having. Although its 17 deg, its not tooo bad, I was bracing myself for much colder weather. .. Think I'll take a jacket tho, when I go 15 minutes higher to babysit Lucas this afternoon. .. His mum and dad are doing more Law exams. Tassie thank you for that info re the boats. .. I know its definitely happening, because this guy is actually rowing in the enactment. I'd have thought Tasmania would be bantering with the rest of Australia, rather than their own state as to which part is the best lol (all in fun, I'd say) Tony, my packet arrived, thank you - that will keep me busy for a while :)))) On second thoughts, maybe its a little cool in the house. .. I've only been home from the dentist a little while. .. Maybe I need another jumper AND a jacket lol Have been to the dentist today .. I have the most lovely lady dentist, (she got Honours) - and she is soooo good. (Had a filling, I did). .. Not only is she good, but she is such a sweet person. .. Now I know you aren't interested, coz ya all hate dentists lol Better get moving, have to have early lunch and get away. Love Jood

Morning everyone, well it's still like the middle of winter in Melb, although the rain seems to be easing. Do you all realise that there are only 39 sleeps til the jolly fat man tries to squeexe down the chimney? Time to start thinking about pressies.
