Trifley drags out bag to start packing for Montville..........yyyyaaaaaayyyy! One sleep to go!!! Makes note to self....'Take matoonie fixings to Mudgee' Don't worry Sandra.....I'll introduce you to the delights of a Royal martoonie. Healing hugz to Tiger.....hope the knee is improving. Just one thing before I go.......who sent the hot weather up here?????? We've had lovely temps up here then all of a sudden we get this heat! Don't need it thanks! It should go to Europe where the weather is lousy. Have a happy day wafflers......I know I will so you can too. Hugz Trifley X

Aaahhh...Lyn....you heard about Graeme and Mark putting together my display cabinet, didn't you? I kept telling them the IKEA instructions had smiley faces but they said it wasn't a smiling matter. It doesn't help when my lot are the type which only use the instructions as a last resort. Quote from Royal consort...'The instructions are only for women or people who don't know what they're doing'. Needless to say the bump on his head from the fry pan is healing nicely. Mary.....enjoy your night away....eat plenty! TX

Hi everyone As darling daughter is safely (???) at the coast ready for Big Day Out tomorrow, Chris and I are kicking up our heels tonight. That is if you can call dinner and a movie (The Queen) kicking up one's heels! So I'll have to check on the Lotto results after we get home. I'll keep everything crossed. I can't escape the feeling that I'm being very brave letting Katherine go to Big Day Out - she did go last year but I still worry! It's hard letting go the apron strings. She'll be 17 this year so I know I've got to allow her some independence. Mary - have a wonderful night tonight - enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! Jood - you're quiet - those girls tire you out? And to all those who are ominously quiet - Yvette, Ducks, SuzyQ, Lara - hope all is well in your little corner of the world. Tony - this is a little bit rude but when you were talking about dressing up it brought to mind a couple I know who turned up at a fancy dress party. He had a piece of string tied around his waist with a potato tied to it dangling down over his fly. She had a piece of string around her waist with a lemon dangling over the same area. They came as a dictator and a sour puss.....!!!!!!!!!!! Best go before I get banned!! XX Anna

lol...Anna. What a ripper of an idea....hee hee Trifley. Have a great cuppla days mate. Relax and enjoy. Mary. You have a great night too. Tony Oz..:>))

Hi all, and Anna ! Yes, worn out I am, but not from the girls, or from doing anything - (must be the weather or something) Yes yes, still raining (in drops) - required an umbrella for shopping. Not hot tho. Those grand-daughters of mine sure know how to do a rain dance. A lot of ex m-i-l's stuff was unpacked for daughter yesterday - lots of scarves etc (the girls found a walking stick) - so their current 'play' mode has been dressups with lots of scarves over their head, and a bent back and walking stick. So much so (when we told them they couldn't keep the walking stick, daughter bought them each a wooden one from the $2 shop) - they are in their element! (they even talk like little old ladies) - and here's me trying to walk straight and upright and pretend I'm young hahaha Off to scrounge cuppa coffee Talk later Jood

All is quite, at my house...:>)) As i sit er'e all alone, not a caller on the phone, just wondering, if i should be a menace...:>)) The billy lid's not here, and its perfectly clear, that the little womans gone off to the Tennis. As i sit in my big room, s'pose that i could act a hoon, and cook meself a jolly spread upon the tables. But i stand er'e by meself and look upon the pantry shelf, What's the use!!!...the bloody tins aint got no labels...:>((( As the sun sinks in the West,I will try to do me best, and prepare meself a lovely... bolognaise. But there's no spaggetti left, perhaps its in the big ice chest..? OMG Its all gone too...no Happy days...:>((( Well i s'pose i could get up, and even call into a shop, and buy meself a chicken for me tea.? And the fridge is full of Beer, so that brought a little cheer,and the label still intact its says V.B...:>)) So i'le sit here at the pute, and turn the telly onto mute, and not listen to the Wife Scream......C'MON....LLLLLLEYNTON. Then i might just go ta bed,after playing with me dead, and pour meself a nice Port,... or a Claytons. hee hee Tony Oz...:>)) *peace*

Hi Wattlers, loveleee ditteee Toneee, I can just picture ya ! Have a nice evening Anna, enjoy the movie, and the P and Q. I know what you mean about the Big Day Out - haven't had to face that one yet. Local nightclub is doing the 12 - 15 disco thing tomorrow night and so DD wants to go - first time she's asked, and after all she's 6 months away from being too old lol ! Jood, it's blowing a gale up here, weather man said for Melbourne to watch out for big rain, you might get some too? Bet we miss out. Aren't kids great when they can entertain themselves without a screen!! You'll have to get them to tell you the stories of their long and interesting lives!! I'm feeling a bit smug as I managed this morning to get my data exported from Ancestry to PAF, first time I've played with a gedcom. Oh dear, I hear a cat - hmmmm - she's been washed and is not too happy, might go and help out, four hands required I think, catch you all later ~~~~ keep well~~~~ Hz (are we receiveing cooling vibes form the southernmost continent?)

Well, your hot winds have arrived here, Hz. I suppose that means that the Thredbo fires have been whipped up too :( Very hot - I went to the library this morning and have been reading travel books for the areas we want to visit. Ditto Tony - Lovely ditty :) You are very clever. Mudgee is coming *said in a sing-song voice*. I'm looking forward to it. Vonny

You'll never guess, the two little girls (the old ladies) - got to ride on my ex (decd) m-i-l's gopher. Unfortunately ex has temporarily misplaced the key, so they have to be pushed around. I thought it was so ironical they were dressing up and playing old ladies, with walking sticks and then later riding on the gopher! Actually I wanted a go too, I was gonna do a burn round the dry old lawn, but ... no key :( (can just see myself in one of those complete with flat - NOT!) hahaha Ooooooh Tony - you doooo miss Barb heaps lol by the way I emailed you. Jood

Vonny - you need to be in Coober Pedy now - there's water, water everywhere - actually you'd need the boat from Port Pirie up. Just checking The Advertiser for something else and they were showing piccies of all the areas that have flooded. The weather map shows a big band of wet weather covering quite a bit of the country - just hope everyone gets a share Gwenda

Jood. Have emailed ya back....lol Those old dos programs can be a pain. Hope it works. Tony..:>))) * Cooking up a storm *...lol

..and watching any T.V programe he wants to...:>)) When the Tennis start in Oz. No one is allowed to change channels in this hooose. Barb just rang to say if anyones watching the Tennis, she is on Centre Court ( Molik game ) sitting next to Ozzie Cheer squad. The ones with the peaked Chinamen hats on...lol Tony Oz.....:>)))) *flicking happily threw all the 52 channels* Ps. When the footy starts..no one is allowed to swap channels ( Male Law ) section 52 of the peace code...:>))

Gwenda, LOL that figures. Mary - I know you said Kangaroo island was expensive to get to, BUT I just found out how expensive :( ~~~~~~~~~~ to all others

Lotto numbers are: Draw 2661 4..5...20...24...25...33 suppps 22 & 35 Tony Oz...:>))

Crikey - I bin trying to get the lotto results on line for 20 mins on dialup :((( Hoooray - at 8:50pm Sat 20/01/2007 2661 4 .5 .20. 24. 25. 33. ..........22 .35 Jood

Sorry folks - think it's only 2 and a sup Vonny - I was going to KI for my honeymoon in 1974 and it was expensive then - didn't get there cos I didn't get married and OH won't go cos he's already been with his ex - her dad ran one of the pubs. No wonder Aussies travel o/s - we are pricing ourselves out of the reach of ordinary tourists. Gwenda

Someone mentioned Kangaroo Island earlier on this thread? We went there in Nov 05 and took b-i-law from UK too. Did a Gourmet Safaris tour with Maeve O'Meara and had the most amazing time. Everything from food through to accommodation was simply just amazing. I would recommend this island to anyone who loves unspoilt beauty, amazing food, gorgeous down to earth people and not a McDonalds in sight.... Lyn .
