Well here it is 6.00am - rise'n shine - if I can't sleep then neither should you lol Seriously! I've been awake since 3:33 - damned if I can sleep, got up at 5.30, still dark. Think I have too much on my mind, and can't get it out of my mind :(( I expect I will crash again soon. Laurie, how lucky can you be !!! :)) Thanks for the lovely pics Tassy. I'll get down there one of these days. Till later Jood

Jood did you see the time of your post and my times - weird or what?????

Yep - was you Gwenda - congratulations. I saw last night the numbers were getting close. Forgot all about it this morning, not functioning too good - I think part of me is very very tired lol Jood

Morning all. Hope you are all well Jood, You are still suffering from Perth time zone and it will take you a little while to get back to our side of the world..lol I suffer from this when we get back from NZ as it is 2 hours ahead of us here. Wont take you long to get sorted out again. Gwenda Congratulations, on the number,,the times were a wee bit odd as you say..Hope you are getting a bit of a rest now that Christmas is over.. Printhess Looly Fab. about your win on lotto,,Great one girl,, How much do you win,,have you found out yet..

Well better go and get fed and off to church so see all of you later.. Lotsa love Mary xxxx

I went back to bed and fell asleep pronto - only just up and showered at 9:29am - can't say I feel very energetic yet tho lol Had a peek at the results. I'm not sure if Laurie had Div 4 or Div 3 - but the payments were Div 5 $699.50 Div 4 $39.40 Div 3 $25.45 woohoo - whatever it was, it was good! Now. Decisions. Poached egg on toast? Spaghetti on toast? - well whatever I choose,, a cuppa tea will go down very well! Oooorooo Jood

GWENDA!!!! You naughty girl, number pinching like that, lol So what was the decision, Jood? Haven't had spaghetti on toast for ages. Just might have to have that for dinner, yum Pleased to hear that you had a nice visit with the Duck, Loz. I'll ring her again today and see what type of medication I can administer. Well, the packing started last night and damn those gum boots take up a lot of room!! :-( That'll mean I have to cut back on other shoes and this does not make me very happy :-(((( Terry has been busy planning our next holiday and has booked us onboard the Oceanic Discoverer sailing from Darwin to Broome in last August. We've never been to Darwin, so will go up about a week before the sailing date and do some touring. Should be fun. Catch up later HRH Dr Lew Lew xxx

good morning all, puter was out of action yesterday while poss. gave it a good fixing. I have a funny 'slot' where my graphic card goes and every now and then he pulls it apart. I need an upgrade, but poss will just fix it for me until it becomes more serious. I did fall asleep on the lounge yesterday. both times had tried to watch tele, but went into deeper relaxation mode. I'm waiting wating for mail about 'the house. my nan lived there for about 40 years, then I suppose the other lady did . My cousin went and took a photo for me and sent it. Its funny, I've got 1 from when my dad was about 10, 1 from when i was 2 and this photo. Anita gave me another haircut yesterday, really short this time, don't even need to stick gel in it. We're off for a walk but now have to wait for the rain to stop. Jood, i think you are still in WA time, and brain still thinks youre going to get a coffee in bed. catch you later love Yvette x

lew, hide a pair of shoes down your wellies yx have to start calling you 2 the happy wanderers

Oooo, you're very smart, Fanny, me never thought of that :-)))))). Bother, now I have to re-pack, lol

Morning Wattlers from beautiful Hammo, about 32 today and ocean is a magnificent aqua and really calm, good fishing weather I'm told. But then they said that yesterday and we spent most of the day catching nothing and watching the tuna jumping out of the water around the boat. ...lol We did some great snorkeling on a reef off one of the smaller islands and saw turtles and a dolphin. Merle, did I see you are looking for Burgoynes? I know someone who has Burgoynes in Aust, so if you're interested remind me when I get home and I'll put you in touch. Lew, dont know when you go so if I dont get back before you go have a great time and try not to dispense pills to the other tourists, they might not understand like we do...lol Congrats Laurie on the win. Jood will let you know about Bendigo when I get home and see what I'm needed for at the factory. DIY is away at the money pit I think, thats why you havent seen her. Trifley, good luck this week, will be thinking of you. Ducky.....coooeeeeeee Have to get off before I get chucked out by this stupid net,have a graet day everyone Flakey

I had a better idea Lew - buy an expensive dress which they will wrap and put in one of those nice plastic shopping bags with solid handles, take the dress out, put the gum boots in there and carry them on board. Another option (which I don't think you will like) - is to join the gumboots with a long piece of string, and embark on the ship with them around your shoulders??? .. What would Petee say? .. tee hee I ended up having poached egg Lew, tomorrow will probably be tinned spaghetti on toast. Fanny - where is this house you've been talking about - is it near any of the wattlers (I can't remember whether you said it was the UK or Oz) .. Fascinating stuff - you'll have to send us all a pic of the different time frames. See Fanny - I did miss you yesterday. And I was right about you falling asleep on the sofa wasn't I lol (I prefer to fall asleep on a bed if possible) Pouring down outside - I knew I should have washed the sheets yesterday - oh well, another spin dry job and then the dryer. .. Seems like we are going to get rain constantly, but in dribs and drabs. (I mean for the next two months, but not every day!) Better get and do some tidying up (as opposed to h********k) Ooooh Flakey, you snuck in. Be great if you can make it to Bendigo also. Lara, all the best to Tiger for his op on Tuesday. Jood

Goooood Morning. And a much cooler day in Melban. Very O/cast and might even get a bit of rain if we lucky. Merle. Did a bit of checking last night for you. I have it that George was born in Annesley, Nott's....... Mistranscribed as Ansley. Ellen ( wife ) born Derbyshire. Two children born in Derby,England, then 6 more children born in S.A ...Oz. George died 27 Aug 1917 Salisbury, Adelaide, South Australia. Off to daughters today to do some dad stuff on her ceiling. Hubbie was up in roof and had put foot through plaster and left a big hole ( as ya do ) Hope everyone has a great day. Catcha ron. Tony Oz...:>))) * Plasterer *....lol

I am guilty of putting my foot through the ceiling plaster - in the middle of a 'rose' *cringes with embarrassment* Don't ya feel an idiot! Jood

Morning Again, have just had a long conversation with the Duck. I feel that we are going to have to bombard her with emails to encourage her to come back to the thread. So, Wattlers, I leave it to you to do a very effective job of annoying the dickens out of her, heeeeeeeeeeeeee HRH Dr Lew Lew xxx

Good Morning all , Tony did you see the Desperately Seeking page in the paper this morning John Hull's family , Cynthia Hull in Whyalla looking for other Hulls would they be your lot ? Good one Laurie glad some one does really win something as we don't (not the wattlers) I mean Tiger and I LOL Jood thanks for the good wishes for Tiger he is off to play golf today as he has to play as often as possible pmsl he thinks I came down in the last shower. Jood did you PM the lady who asked if any of us a few pages back lived in the blue mountains ? Fanny your hair must be nearly bald girl it was short when we had lunch on the balcoonie Hz it rained nearly all night here YAHOO steady rain med rain not just a drizzle either and not to heavy to all run off the bloke over the road old farmer will be over to tell me eggsactly how much, I am sure LOL Flakey nice to know you're having a good time girl but waiting to hear about the coral trout you caught or big barra or heaps of crays while snorkelling then I would be weeping tears of envy thinking of you cruisin around while Roy whips up a feast on the barbie on the boat omg can just picture it while you lie there with martoonie and chunk of cray Donna we are presuming you are ok and running around with s/daughter bending the plastic hope the op was a success and you are well. Fluffy c'mon talk to us please we missing you HRH Printheth Lew does Petee know his travelling companion is a printheth ? DIY sorry couldn't make it to Shepparton as Jen was here and then when we went Friday we spent all day at the place trying to arrange with the useless B*****ds at Veteran Affairs for Mike to have permission to get his own Cpap machine to take with him to Hospital as he had on on loan until they were supposed to get permission of VA to pay for it there was noone that was in the whole VA building that could ok it all on holidays so he had to hire one and then maybe they will pay for the hire of it what a load of BS no hesitation when they sent him to Vietnam Butter them. Merle you keep me laughing girl and I needed that this week so thanks a million. Ok off to watch the tennis and barrack hard for the Gooch . See you all later. Love Lara

Great number catch Gwenda! That dratted Cat must be busy pinching other people's numbers methinks - where are you puss -rather like Mr D, wandering around to other people's houses lol We did get some welcome rain too –started about 4 am – just very windy now and overcast. Jood, as Mary says, take it easy - always takes me a few days to catch up after Perth, even if there for only a few days and you had a few weeks. Fanny, glad your computer is stuggling along, missed you yesterday – how about a pickle of the new haircut, and would love the ones of the house too. What fish have you been catching? (envy envy lol) Also of your Romany heritage. Hugs to Ducky. Hope you get more rain H by the river Lew, looking forward to hearing how the wellie prob is solved lol – stuff them with underwear on top of Fanny shoes. Who owns the boat you are cruising from Darwin to Broome, people tell me it is a great experience. I am off to do some FH for the first time in weeks – still trying to find my Joseph William Armitage after 1891 – he was born in Clerkenwell in 1866. Was an organ pipe maker in 1891 census – (annotated musical instrument). Was an organ builders apprentice in 1881. He lived in Huddersfield both census. I think I need to send for a few death certs now as I cannot find him on any emigration records. To everyone else, have a good day JA

Hi Lara you snook in - best wishes for Tiger's op - be thinking of you, and hope this week is much better for you JA
