YES :) we are getting some rain!!! not a lot but has settled into a light drizzle. Wonderful for the weeds :) I'm not beining facetious - weeds are all we sort of have left in our lawn!!! All good Canberrans drive dirty cars and have dead front lawns - it shows how civic minded you are (said with a straight face) JA - the boat launch will be at 10am in Lotus Bay - that's the south-western side of Lake Burley near where the yatch club is - just after the roundabout near the British Embassy. Has cooled down a bit. Apparently the Snowy's got some rain yesterday so I hope it fell on the fires down South. haven't had tea yet - been too hot :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vonny

Hope all gets sorted soon Trifley so glad you are coming out of the awful mist Thinking of Lara and tiger grrr that pysio Take care everyone else JA

Evening..:>)) Nuther warmish day and night in Melbum. All is quite darn sarf. Sarah is staying with sister for a week, and Barb is where Barb is, at this time of the year...Tennis. She rang to say that she watched her beloved Leynton Hewitt win another match, and told me she waved to me...lol After some cheese bickies and wine, she is off to watch Stosa.? and then another match ( mens ) Nadal...after that, and will be home sometime tu-morrow morning....:>))) And I'm left in peace, so everyones happy in Melb to-night.. There are 5 of them at the tennis. Her sister and 4 girlfriends, so there will be much yelling drinking and merryment. My last words to her were: Dont wake me when you come in...lol Hope everyones had a great day. Tony Oz...:>))) * Doin FH in peace *

Evening Wattlers :-((((((( another day of temp in the 30's today it was 30 so a couple down on the last 2 days of 32 and 33. Took the kids rollerblading today, as they are finally bored of the computer, playstation and tv, couldnt think of anything worse in this heat but we did sit for 3 hours and watch them skate about, Tamika tried to get me to have a go, but its been a few years since I got on a pair of rollerskates, and now they are blades, dont know if it would be any harder to skate with, but I was a bit wary of doing damage to heart unit if I had a fall, which I more than likely would of. Davids 3 go home on Sunday night and David is back to work on Monday so it will be just me and the 2 girls, til they go back to school in the middle of Feb, might be able to get back into some fh if Im lucky. We are supposed to get rain the next couple of days so we will wait and see, might be like the thunderstorms we was supposed to get yesterday lol. Well Im going to find a good back scratching post as I've got an itchy back where I got slightly burnt at swimming the other day, I think I might be peeling, I've made some noise about needing a scratch but no one is offering, and of course its in a spot I cant reach. ~~~ to all~~~~ Cheers Sue

Sue. Use a kitchen fork....i do...hee hee Tony Oz....:>)) *Happy itching *

Good idea Tony lol Watch that cat - only about 18 to go lol

lol Tony. I use the door jam :-)) have been told to try a spagetti ladle, or a fork out of a salad set, you know one of those big ones haa haa. Cheers Sue

Yea'h...or a metal spatular,,,,cos there got long handles,,,lol. Tony Oz...:>))

You'd be amazed at the number of different things I've used for scratching my back! The boys are on their way here, son in law says about 2am tomorrow - they were in Mildura at last call. Wet weather in South Australia and Mildura he said - heading this way. .. We will see! On dialup - so must be off quick now. Oh, before I go, set the traps, load the guns, put out the poison - only 16 to go! Vonny - you christening the boat with a bottle of champers? Jood

~~~~~~ madly to Jood~~~~~ hope the guys get back safe. Enjoy your holiday.

Twill be interesting to see who is around with itchy fingers . . . I dont suppose the New Merry Cat is about (aka Numericat , , aka Digicat aka so many names who knows who she is !!) So grateful we are not getting the hot weather here . . . lovely breeze on the balcoonie and plenty to see as peeps enjoy the beach on a warm summer night. Poor Greg is going to be exhausted when he finally gets the FIL back to Bendigo . . . he will need a weeks holiday to recover. TLR has had an early night so I think I might close down now too and go get some sleep Take care all and let the poor cat have the number . . . give her a thrill !!! teeheee Nigh nite - sleep well - sweet dreams luv Laurie
