hi all, can't believe that I have wasted the day. consitutional sleep on the lounge, on the blower to a friend, trip to wollongong (1hr) and thats it. Mary, you could buy a chocolate fondue pot for your OH, then you could share in his recovery!!! yum vonny I love choccy ginger, but I suppose they are all gone now. I actually did do some exercise, not much though, only practiced the things i will do tomorrow. I have to go for a walk up the street , but my joggers are hiding. Anybody else tired? well by the sounds of it we have 2 virgins in the pretending on here. See ya love yvette x

4 pages I had to catch up on! By the gods you lot can talk! Are we going to have a party when we reach 20,000 posts? If we slow down we might be able to let it coincide with Mudgee. It's a wet, wet day here on the GC, but that's ok as our lawn and plants are loving it. I hope some of it is headed to the likes of Mudgee and Toowoomba. PMSL.....can you imagine trying to find South Pole clothes in the middle of Summer? Maybe if she tries Paddy Pallin in Katoomba she might have some luck. Get bright colours, Crew, you don't want to blend in to the ice with pastels....lol. And definately no black and white. You might get mistaken for an Empora penguin. Welcome to Vivienne.....don't believe Merle....I'm the only sane one. You ask my loyal subjects.....lol Mary....butter, butter, butter.....was hoping to meet you & OH at Mudgee but it's better to get his neck fixed. A big healing hug for him. Yvette.....I must have missed out on the post about your new job. What's it like? The sun is over the yardarm somewhere so I think I might have a drinkies to celebrate my 'good' week. Catch you all later. Happy hugz to all you wonderful peeps. love Trifley X

Good Evening all, Mary at least they have found the course for all John's Pain but gee it's taken long enough , and darn if it stops you coming to Mudgee but it's more important for him to be right again what a relief that it's something they can fix.

I could get lost.lol. do they have an online cattledog? methinks I need a cuppa, should track down the last of the bailey's too before poss. does. love Yvette

Hi Lara. We are hopeing that this op will fix Johns problem,, 97% success rate if it IS the problem, but there is nothing else they can find so we thought we might as well go with it and hope for the best.The sysmtoms fit the bill and the specialist is happy about it and thinks it is the problem,,but we wont know until after the op. What is Tiger going into hospital for,, Hope he is OK.. Lew Did you get the clothing you will need for the ice time.. Can you hire it or do you have to spend a fortune buying it all..What will you do with it after if you have to buy it.. Go every year to the snow and the antartic to get some use out of it..lol Certainly not clobber for Queensland.. Yvette So glad the first day at the gym went well..They are lucky to have you.. Thanks for the lotto list Tony,, I had misplaced my previous one.. Love Mary xxxx

Evening All, Well, I expect all the choccy coated ginger has all gone by now Vonneeeee!, but DD15 made Chocolate Fudge Brownies tonight so I’ll have one or three of those before the night is out!! Last night OH and I were so tired we were both in bed by 8.30 pm, so tonight I’m feeling perky for the first time in ages, I might possibly manage to read all my X’y cards and letters!! Have managed over the last few nights to touch base with all the family – NZ, Brisbane, Adelaide, Sth. Gippy Vic and my Melb bro has already left for 3 wks in California, he and his wife were almost blizzarded in bushwlking on Mt Anne in Tassie just before Christmas right at the same time the fires were happening on the east coast – gosh, no wonder I’m tired, I can hardly keep up with the immediate family. Mary, all the best to John facing surgery, this is good news because the medical imaging these days is amazing, and they clearly know what they have to do. I can’t get to Mudgee either, so we’ll all sob in our beer together during February!! Trifly, do have a virtual choccy fudge to celebrate a ‘good’ week, there will be many more….. Lew, are you actually going to walk around with the penguins or just fly over them?? I haven’t seen “Happy Feet” yet but perhaps it would put you in the mood?? Hope a big ice shelf doesn’t break off right under you !!! LOL – you could end up off the coast of New Zealand!! Lol a lot!!!! Can’t wait for some piccy’s _ I’ve never met anyone who’s actually BEEN to Antarctica, so I wait with baited breath for your descriptions. PS can you bring back a spare iceberg because my garden could do with some fresh water – we got about 26 spits the other night, how about you Lara, any better in Yarrawonga? Really I’m just about over this drought, and I’m not even a farmer. The sky has clouded up and we’ve had lightening and thunder, but no actual WETNESS…… OK, icing has set on the brownies – I’m making a cuppa and then indulging…. ~~~~~~to all, Mwah, Heather

Thanks for the list Tony. Lara, you are too kind :) Well, somehow I managed to waste today - but I did use the clothes line at last :) We want a piccy of you modelling the clothes, Lew Lew :) Oh dear - those dark chocolate coated ginger things are stalking me AGAIN!! cuwl Vonny Hz, my daughter bought me TWO boxes!!!

Evening All, don't actually go to Sydney until the morning, so I'll let you know how successful the clothes shopping goes then, Vonny. Mary, I have to buy all those clothes, but that's okay because it can get down to minus 14 in Mudgee over winter, so they won't go to waste. I'm sailing to the Antarctic, Heather, and we hop on zodiacs (small inflatables) and travel to shore to play with the penguins and seals. I'll make sure that there is lots of pickles, don't worry. Haven't seen Happy Feet yet, but might have to do so before Departure Day. You and Dave are booked into the Mudgee Tour Lunch on Sunday 18 Feb, Gwenda. Details to follow. Well, I'll be off the air tomorrow, so will catch up on Friday. Love to you all HRH Dr Lew Lew xxx

just found a mag. article re going to the antarctic. bath and bed time night all yvette x

Hi Wattlers, do you seriously believe I even own a pair of bathers? You'll see why when I figure out how to work the' printerthingy.Double showers don't seem to be considered a requisite by dept of housing.Only rich peeps have those.You should have seen the performance this morning. I got an exercise ball for chrissie and was seated on it in front of the puter cause I'm told it helps get the fat off the high diddle diddle.Was quite comfy too but the came time to get off it with one leg under the desk and the unbending one stuck out at right angles. Ended up slipping non too gracefully backwards onto the floor then pulled myself up by the side of the bed. And what was himself doing while this was going on I ask? Choking with laughter till the tears ran down his face. He'll get his. This elephant has a looonnnggg memory.

Merle, they tell us now that laughing releases all sorts of good healing chemicals. You should work up a comedy routine :) LOL Vonny

Maybe but he was doing all the laughing dammit seec you all tamorra lol you know who

OH Merle .. I just love ya,, you are good for my healing chemicals to.. if laughter is the best medicine as they say.. Hope the leg is healing and the infection is dissapearing.. Lew.. The trip sounds lovely and it reminds me of one Tim Bowden did to the Antartic for the ABC.. You should have a fantastic time..We definately want lots of pickles, please,,,,, Heather... perhaps later in the year we can have a meet in Albury, something to think about... Well I am off to bed.. Daughter arrives from Orange tomorrow for a quick visit on her way to Port Stephens for a holiday..with the family...will be the first time she will have seen inside the unit since we bought it, She has seen the outside so it will all be new to her. Nite Nite all see ya in the morning. Ducky Big Hugs..xxx Trifley Glad you are spoiling yourself this week,, Have a martoonie for me..lol Love Mary xxx

Lara - here's your thingy - uhmm what was it you asked me for? Oh yes, Power Point http://www(.)microsoft.()com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=428D5727-43AB-4F24-90B7-A94784AF71A4&displaylang=en <copy and paste this> Vonny - its farrrrrrrrrr tooo late now, but I would have helped you with that choccy ginger no problems at all :(( They say its good for you! <or was it just ginger p'raps?> tee hee Merle - you are soooo funny. Do be careful of those round balls, my sister's physio recommended she do some exercises on it for some problem she had, she fell off it and did a lot of damage to her knee. My daughter has one for her pc. I hate them. So Fanny pray tell me who are these two virgins in the pretending eh???????? You referring to me'n Lew? Can't be Tony, and I can't think who else??? lol Yum - Tony, tell Barb thats my fave drink, baileys and ice - I can drink them like milk shakes, but I'd probably finish up on the floor after the 5th or 6th lol I wrote to the Debbie today to see if she was coming back - this was her reply: Jood Found new chat room so i don't know if i will come back ot not but i will see how things go, the one i found is much faster than the one in genes and i have sent them en email about the 'copy' part of genes reuinted and told them it should be removed Deb I dont know what she means about copy part and I can't remember if she was the one from Nth NSW or the Island off Brisbane Coast. Mary, I will be soooo disappointed if you don't come to Mudgee, but we have to get John better, dont we? Jood
