Arvo Peeps. Nuther hottie in Melban. Have called it quits for the day, until the weather drops its temp a little. Jude DIY. No tennis for barb this morning, but she goes to the night match to-night. 5:00pm. She would sit through 50c if she had to...lol Not really a sporty person by nature but when it comes to her Tennis, its no good trying to have a conversation with her......lol Find it a bit strange that the Physio was getting Mike to do knee bends straight after an op. No wonder there's bleeding and muscle damage. I know the physio's like you to start excercising ASAP after an op, but must have overdone it a bit, me thinks. If Jood is in Deniliquin, then she must be coming through Moama - Echuca. We were there for the Australian Square Danceing Convention in the 90s. Barb was into Square dancing in a big way in the 70s, 80s and early 90s. Been doing some reasearch on Claire's THORPE family in Tassie, and having much success so far, so think she is a happy bunny at the moment. Have also found the unamed male first born child we think. There always a bit harder to find, but i have had some success and a bit of good fortune. Trifley. Lots of warm wishes for you mate, and nice to hear the last of the Chemo coming up for you. After the last one's finished i will set up a special Martoonie Chemo for you......its much nicer...:>))) My wife hated the Chemo more than life itself, so i do understand what you mean kinda. Jillaroo. Have a great trip mate. Someone has to do it..? so it might as well be you....Enjoy. ps. Watch out for the Dog poo in Paris...lol Handing out Pills to who ever needs them....hee hee I'm a failure when it comes to playing Dr. and giving out Pills.Dont think Dr. HRH Lew will leave me in charge again....:>((( But i do have a good reason for not supplying them....the Cat stole them, when she pinched our numbers. Well, thats my story, and I'm sticking to it. Speaking of Holiday's, we have booked for Darwin in September. Have a good un. Tony Oz...:>)) * back to do what i do best, and find some more of Claire's relos.*

Hot afternoon Wattlers, When's winter?????????? I really don't like this hot stuff and if Tassie is having over 30 think I'll be retiring to Antarctica instead Just spent nearly 4 hours ironing and still nowhere near the end so please no-one think they can send me theirs as well. Trifley - have a lovely cupla days away you've earned them JudyDIY - I took some of Dayna's ventolin once - it was when she was on the liquid stuff - haven't shaken so much in all my life - scared me half to death - never did it again - being breathless was better than the shakes. Lara - glad Mike's probs have been sorted - bad luck it happened at all tho. Hope he's soon on the mend and back home Laurie - sounds like a busy year travelling the globe for you & Ray - would you like to borrow my suitcase - I won't take up too much room and it's built like a warehouse - just ask the taxi drivers who had to lift it in their boot - pmsl Jood - hope you've made it to Bendigo okay - bet the pool is looking very inviting. Daughter has a blow up paddling pool - bad luck we are on stage 3 restrictions or she would fill it and be sitting in it I'm off to stretch out on the bed and read a trashy Mills & Boon for a while - got so engrossed in one yesterday it was 8pm before we got tea and then I had to force myself to put it down. Hope everyone has found a cool spot ~~~~~~~~to all Gwenda

Uuummmm....that sandwhich tasted alright. I must be getting over the collywobbles (love that word...heeee heeee). I think a short nanna nap might be the thing now. Trifley wanders off to bed dragging her teddy and blankie. TX

Arvo Gwenda have some i*****g lying in wait to ambush me when I go into the laundry - my excuse its been too hot to do it/makes the aircon work harder lol. Trifley my MIL used to use collywobbles and iscabibbles (this was mostly used for appendages or b*ms)quite a lot - she reckoned they were very descriptive words which covered all situations (able to be used whenever she had a craft moment - more likely). Princeth you will need a new passport at this rate! 2 wonderful trips - we haven't TLR scream yet - so keep twisting hehehe Sheesh I know they want you out of bed and moving after an op - but I'd want to bash that b.physio - bet she/he will cop an earful from the doc or Lara or both. (Have deleted my 'sound off ' on customers - those that read it will know) Okay I'm to make a cuppa and take time to count to 10 - 10 times. (I think it might be time for a job where I can't be let loose on the general public for a while- maybe in a fridge) - update -Ok had a cuppa now feeling a little calmer xx jude

Jude yv I think the heat must be getting all the melbun ites, your customers especially,,,I am glad I dont live down there..Your summers are to hot for me..have a cool drink and relax.. laurie OOHHaa I love Greece and we have been there 3 times..You will have a ball and the people are lovely..

Afternoon all More gardening - appealed against the heat! Girls had an all night movie marathon and have had brunch. All going home sometime today - they'll sleep well tonight! Welcome back from the fog Trifles - so many beeee - autiful things to buy in Montville! Enjoy!! Don't know why they persist in making the tennis players continue in the heat. Lots of complaints from players yesterday I hear. Lara - glad they have found out what was wrong with Tiger - hope the little physio learns something from it! Doesn't help Tiger though does it! Jood - are you there yet??? I see they are bringing out a 50c postage stamp to celebrate the ashes win - and a $1.85 overseas stamp for mail going overseas - how to rub salt in the wounds!! Enjoy the rest of the day everyone. Cheers Anna

IT'S MEEEEEE,finally back on line and just in time for himself to read his fan mail. Thanks very much. He's quite chuffed.Not bad for a bloke who wasn't expected to see his 61st is it? No wonder I'm wearing out at the knees.! Gotta have a carers break very soon. We had 1117problems in the puter and about $90 worth of programmes later, managed to get them all off. I'm sad to say that I lost all my addresses so please send me an email. Not just for me to get a full address book but cos you luv me!! A belated Welcome to Claire. You will have noticed by now that they're all mad as hatters. I'm the only sane one but no .one believes me. Lost all the letters I had written girls so you'll just have to accept the thought was there. Queenie, pleased to hear that all is well in court circles, welcome back to our printheth too Trust poor old Tiger is on the way to recovery. Got my xray results today and the powers that be say theres nothing wrong and were surprised when I burst into tears at the thought of all the pain of the last weeks. However, the knee exercises are helping and last night had my first nights sleep with no pain except when I rolled on it in my sleep, What now? nothing, The only bloke here who will do an arthroscopy is away for three months so still have to wait till May or thereabouts It is feeling better though so shall wait patiently says she heroicly lol Now then Sir Tonz, I found a william and Mary Knighton who were married 30/11/1829 and a william and Mary sheldon in 27/11/1797 but as you say the Marriage certificate forGeorge and Ellen might be the best bet. Would the death notices in Australia at that time show that sort of info? That better be enough or I'll have another five pages to read before this gets to you. Have a great whats left of today luv Me

Just in from the Printheth of the Ice . . . IT'S OFFICIAL Wattie, Petee and I are officially in the Antarctic! We crossed the 60 degree mark this morning and all met on deck to toast King Neptune with champagne. We got some fantastic pickles and should be going ashore on Friday. Having a great time and meeting lots of people and going to all the lectures and games. Love to all the Wattlers and hope you are all keeping well. HRH Dr Lew Lew PS I hope Dr Tony has been administering all the appropriate coloured pills xxxxxxxxxxx

Afternoon All No time to write now will pop in in the morn. Hope everyone is well Yvonne...I have been to Kangaroo Island, last year. like taking a step back in time, we had a great time. fishing and can't wait to go back. bit expensive to get there though, we took the van over. Take Care Wilson

It's not my folt...lol Hi Merle..:>)) I have copied and pasted and put it in my Merle folder, for ron.Will have a bit more digging when i finish Claire's THORPE's....cos there jumping up out of the woodwork at the mo, and i think the way things are going, Claire might have shares in owning Tasmania......lol Gwenda . Think its your go for Lotto mate. ex Dr. Tony Oz......:>))

Lara. Dont know if your up to looking in, but there is a request in the records office of a lady looking for DAY family surname from Australia ( Balmain Sydney ) I will copy paste and Email it to you ( just in case ) Tony Oz..:>))) *hawkeye*

Sorry Laurie, for not ringing earlier - bad connection on mobile, Cheri said it must be because of the storms. Poor old Marie got a very garbled noisybackground msg. (I dont have your email on daughters computer, so had to msg you on here.) To all, I got here at 2.30pm, but naturally the girls (7 & 8) wanted to help Dot (that's my name) carry all the cases in, dunno if it was coz they thought (knew) I had stuff for them tee hee - I've only just rescued my phone from the car and the last bit of junk. Kids insisted I go in the pool. Very tired, I is, not because of the drive, but because I was awake from 3.30, worrying about the affairs of the world, well, 2 problems I had - silly me! Girls are in the bath, giggling as little girls do, Mum is starting dinner, Dad not home from work yet, and Jude, well I think I'll be having an early night (but not before I read all the wattle happenings) Love to all Great to hear about Lew's escapades. Wish Wilson would let me know if she's coming next Monday - yoo hoo Wilson ??? Jood

Tony - thanks for reminder - did however remember myself this morning so will get it on Friday but home late so don't panic when you don't have it before 6 Jood - glad you've arrived safe. An early night sounds in order So much for reading my trashy novel - couldn't keep the eyes open and had a too long a nanny nap. Lovely cool breeze has arrived tho so lets hope tomorrow will be a lot cooler Merle - glad himself was chuffed with his fan mail. Sorry about the knees but hopefully the exercises will help. Off to organise something simple for tea Gwenda

back again - girls are still yelling and carrying on in the bath upstairs, better go and stir them on. Merle have pm'd you - happy birthday to himself - I intended to remember. Lara, hope Tiger is making better progress now. .. Arent some people idiots?? Tony, yes I did come through Moama and Echuca, and had visions of Vonny & John carrying their boat through the sand lol - we had a few spots of rain, but not even enough to cover the windscreen - how pathetic! Jill - getting in early to wish you a fantastic trip in case I forget. Seems like we are having mass exodus of wattlers on interstate and overseas trips this year! Mr D still in the poo JA? Cant remember what everyone said in the past few pages, but ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ to all and a kiss to Trifley. Jood

Hi Jood Glad you arrived in one piece..Sounds like the kids were glad to see you..enjoy them and lat us know what you are up to..dont guzzle the storbery wine.. Love Mary xxx

Onya Jood! Those girls will have you run ragged! Gwenda - isn't it funny how if you don't do anything about tea.............. no-one else will!! Good on Princess and Wattie - snow and ice for miles no doubt! Speaking of tea - mine's probably burning and no one else will think to do anything about it!! Byeee Anna

Evenin' all.... Didn't get my nanna nap :( 'cos favourite nephew dropped in to see me :))) Boy am I weary now! An early night tonight I think. Joodles...glad you had a safe trip. Have fun with those little girls. The Royal Consort is doing ham steaks and pineapple for dinner....good thing my taste is coming back :) Thoughts are with those affected by the bush fires in Vic & NSW. Have a great evening my wonderful friends. Hugz Trifley X

Glad you are safe and sound Jood. Merle - I would have cried too big ((((HUGS)))) JudeDIY - that is incredible - 3 little wattlers born the same day. Wonder if we have any other coincidences like that? I thought a trashy novel sounded good Gwenda so I grabbed a book - science fantasy - and promptly went to sleep also!!! just finished dinner. Isn't the breeze lovely but hope we get some rain. Looks like we might travel through Geelong Tony on our way to the Great Ocean Road. I know it is the long way to SA but I have always wanted to go and see that part of the coast. :) ~~~~~~~~~ to all. My dishwasher is a dream :) Vonny

Vonny - we got rain - did you? Raced out with some buckets but don't think I got too much - gee it was nice getting wet tho Windows are still wide open to get the cool air through the house again - haven't seen weather forecast tho but hope it stays a bit cooler Gwenda
