Good morning everyone Well - have to throw on some washing and then I'll settle myself in the lazyboy and watch the demise of the English cricket team. That shouldn't take too long! Then - a bit of gardening - if it doesn't rain again. Showers are predicted. A top temperature of 21 degrees forecast for our city in the mountains today. All very pleasant. Had to put on a jumper for the morning walk. Have a great day everyone. Hope you get rid of the aches and pains and stiffness Joodles. Perhaps some of the good Dr's pills laced with some of my efficacious herbaceous additives may do the trick!! I had to laugh at Garfield in the paper yesterday. Garfield's owner, Jon, says ' Liz has some leftover holiday fudge she's bringing over.' Garfiled looks stunned. Jon says ' Some people do have leftover fudge.' Garfield's response....'What a concept' I do identify with Garfield - there's never any left over fudge in our house! Have a good day everyone XX Anna

Good Morning everyone, Lovely day in the Gong,blue skies and not tooo hot but it is only 9am. Welcome home Jood. Lew quick send me some of those new pills, the bailly's ones, I need something quick, my throat is like razor blades and the cough is rotton, been up and down all night with it. Also put me down for 2 for the Sunday tour/lunch.. have a good day what ever your doing and catch you later on Cheers luv Sandra in the Gong

Morning Wattlers. Going for a top of 31C. Afternoon swims in order, me thinks. Very nice job applications, Laurie & Anna. Anyone else like to submit their resume??? Sandra, pills on their way, express delivery. I suggest that as they are Bailey's flavoured, you just take them with ice. Jood!! You're getting as bad as that bleeding Cat. I don't want to have to get the gun out to use on you, missy!!!!! Listen here Dobber. If I find out that you have been communicating with me hubby, there'll be hell to pay!!! And trust me, the medication will not be very nice. Mary, Terry prefers the ski fields in Europe, but does occasionally ski in USA and Canada. I've been with him on several trips and just can't be bothered now. The temperature onboard is about 22C, Anna, so I only need the thermals for onshore jaunts of which there are 6, Cape Denison, Port Martin, Dumont d'Urville, Macquarie Island, Auckland Islands and Snares Islands. The rest of the time it's just casual clothing, although we have to be a bit more dressy for the Captain's Dinner on the second night. Might have to frock up, lol Now, where's the Duck??? Show yourself, so we can all give you a big Wattlers Cuddle. Trifles, I lucky, me no get sea sick, but me little travelling companion does :-( Luckily I'm travelling with my personal physican, so I'll be right whatever happens, heeee. Well, best go and get some brekky. HRH Dr Lew Lew xxx

Morning Wattlers, perfect weather in Hammo for the past couple of days...now if the internet would just work I'd be in paradise Rumour has it that Nicloe Kidman is arriving here anyday to make a movie. The crew are all here and we have been watching them film on a ship in the harbor. We can see from our balcony. Nicole will be staying on a huuugeee yacht outside the marina, just in front of us. We went snorkleing wednesday off a deserted beach, absolutely beautiful. Lots of coral and fish, then back on the boat to watch the sunset...........I know ,its a tough life isnt it......lol Lew, be careful who you get to dispense your pills while you're away. You want someone responsible and intelligent......not just someone who flatters and crawls....lol I'm sure you will be able to think of a mature, intelligent, responsible person after all you are a brilliant doctor who just happens to have Royal blood. I'm pushing my luck trying to stay on here much longer, so .....>>>>HUGS<<<<<< to those who need them have a great day Ducky where are you????? Flakey

My godness me......don't we have some crawlers on this thread? L'oz.....you forgot to say you'd lick Crew's boots for her.....heeee heee. I'm not even going to submit an application.....I don't do work like that. It's on my 'Don't Do' list along with windows and cleaning up after sick people. Can't have a Queen doing stuff like that!!!! Ooooo....the sun has just come out....might try and get some towels dry. Have a fantastic day my wonderful cyber friends. Hugz Trifley X

It's depressing reading that everyone is basking in their sunshine. Over here in England, we have high winds blowing a cold draft, plus daily downpours of that lovely wet stuff, rain!!!!!

Awwww Peter - come and live on Oz - its much better here!!! lol I would never go to the UK in winter, May June July are the best months. I have a poem for Tony - no, I didn't make it up - I'm not that talented. The Beer Prayer Our lager Which are in barrels Hallowed be thy drink (I will be drunk) at home as in the tavern Give us this day our foamy head And forgive us our spillages As we forgive those who spill against us And lead us not into incarceration But deliver us from hangovers For thine is the beer The bitter and the laaaaaaaaaaaaager <got carried away here, was singing it lol> For ever and ever Barmen Jood

Morning All, It has taken ages to read back through the thread, but am still smiling. ....I have such a boring life lol. I went to start the car this morning...flat battery again. Rang the ford place, they said ring road side assist.GRRRRR rang them and they came two hours later and started it and said nothing wrong with it. This is the 5th time in about 6 months and we are on the scond battery in two years. So got cross and drove it straight out to the ford place and said i will pick it up again when they fix it.....Think they might have said rude things about me when i left he he. Any way thats all fine and dandy, but now i have to walk to work this afternoon and it is HOT, guess i better leave early so i can walk slowly lol. Well i took so long to read that i have to go and get ready now hehe. Have a good day all, i promise myself that i am not going to leave days between checking in here ever again lol. Take Care All Wilson

Well - they did it! Amazing scenes at the SCG - Australia won the test match against England 5 - 0. Goodbye and good luck to Warnie, McGrath and Langer. I was terrified they were going to drop the Waterford crystal replica of the ashes urn and break it - champagne corks popping all over the place! I just hope they leave the REAL ashes in Australia - seems ludicrous that they keep them in England! Congrats to the Aussie cricket team. Anna

Afternoon all, back from shopping and have a gorgeous pair of black gum boots! How stylish. Have had a lovely conversation with the Duck who is looking forward to her Mudgee trip. She's a little down at the moment and doesn't quite feel up to posting, but she knows we're all thinking of her. I'll phone her in a couple of days and report back. In the meantime, I'm preparing some special pills for her to ensure that she doesn't end up basket weaving, heeeeeee. Off to get some lunch HRH Dr Lew Lew xxx

Sighned. Yours sincerley.... Anthony Hull. ex Dr. Hull

Mmmm, ex Dr, you say. Please advise your qualifications and where you got them!

Voodooism......Its a long story....but Il'e explain the best i can. Voodoo is a practical religion, playing an important role in the family and the community.( Wattlers )There are healing spells, nature spells, love spells, purification spells, joyous celebration spells and multicoloured pills involved in Voodoo. Its all a matter of being.....Well, i surpose....... Humble. Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble: Oh Lord it's hard to be humble When you're perfect in every way. I can't wait to look in the mirror 'cos I get better looking each day To know me is to love me I must be a hell of a man. O Lord it's hard to be humble But I'm doing the best that I can. I used to have a girlfriend But I guess she just could'n't compete With all of these lovestarved women Who keep clamouring at my feet. Well I probably find me another But I guess they're all in awe of me Who cares I never get lonesome 'cause I treasure my own company. Oh Lord it's hard to be humble When you're perfect in every way. I can't wait to look in the mirror 'cos I get better looking each day To know me is to love me I must be a hell of a man. O Lord it's hard to be humble But I'm doing the best that I can. I guess you can say I'm a loner A cowboy outlaw tough and proud Well I could have lots of friends if I wanted But then I wouldn't stand out in the crowd Some folks say that I'm 'egotistical Well I don't even know what that means I guess it has something to do with the Way that I fill out my skintight blue jeans. Oh Lord it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way. I can't wait to look in the mirror 'cos I get better looking each day To know me is to love me I must be a hell of a man. O Lord it's hard to be humble We are doing the best that we can. Dr.Tony Oz..:>)) Your Humble servant.

Dr X Hull That sounds very *crawly* to me????????????? .. I think all the applications so far are not up to scratch (scratch my back and I'll scratch yours) Rest in peace. I'm not volunteering - no way. (I dont think any of you realise that if Dr Lew gave you the wrong medicine, and you sued her, she'n Terry'd gang up on you with the combined solicitor expertise!!!!!) .. I'm staying right outa this one .. tee hee Sides, I diny crawl Voo do Jood do

Yes, your right Jood. I did appear to be crawling....:>((( Its not like me...really. I personally feel Loz aka Lolly.. should be in charge of the Pills. After all....her name is Lollie ( as in Pills ) Tony Oz..:>))) *aving a coldie, and chilling out* ps. I think it was the excitement of thinking i might win. After all......Barb wins everything....and i win nowt....i guess i got carried away in the excitement of the prospect...:>(((
