I'm baaaaack! Did ya miss me? The Royal consort and I had a very relaxing time in Montville. We walked a bit, window shopped a bit a, sat a lot and drank coffee quite a lot....heee heeee. We counted 12 places in the main street of Montville where you can get a great cup of coffee. No wonder I love that place. Going away for a rest also means that there are things to do when you get back......things like washing & ironing....yuck. I was very good.....I got it all done today. I hope you are all ok.....fit and happy. I'll catch you all tomorrow. Hugz and love Trifley X

Evening...:>)) Hi Trifley.Hope you had a great time away mate. Well the tennis was a bit of a fizzle, i reckon. Federra creamed Roddick.3 games to nothin. Barb will be a bit dissapointed, ( with the easy win ) although she would have been barricking for Federra, i think the game was all over before it started. Australia day to-morrow, and the B.B.Q will be cleaned spick n' span. My girls and hubbies and grandkids all coming down as they do each Ozzie day. Council just up the road put on a big festival, with rides, food ( Multi cultral ) and local info on what's what. Then at night the fireworks for the kids and big kids..:>)) ( if no fire ban ) My grandkids will come and inspect there tomato plants that they planted as seedlings back in Oct. Each time they have visited they water them and give them manure. Plus a little help from poppy...lol They are fruiting now ( perfect timing ) and will pick the toms off and eat them. Fruits of their labour. I do this each year with them, as it shows them that if they look after something they will benefit from it. Just my way of teaching them about caring for things. Have a great day to-morrow, whatever you are doing. Tony Oz...:>)))

ok, I'm up again :( anyone else not able to sleep?? Vonny

Yeah Vonny . . . me . . . The chainsaw in the bedroom is working well . . . and I think it has a full tank of fuel - doesn't look like stopping any time soon Woe is me . . . teeheee luv Laurie

Hi L'oz I'm trying to access another tree - with permission - I can get to see the first three people but then nothing. if I try to see ancestors etc an error message comes up or else it just goes into a download loop and never arrives!! I might add - it's a big tree - over 8000 peeps!!

The times are all out of wack again for entries to threads too. Say L'oz, could I ask you for a lookup next Tuesday if you have time?

Emailing you now Vonny L xo

Vonny, I had trouble earlier on GR getting pages to come up . . . got lots of those error messages - may be just a glitch tonight - maybe they are working on the site . . . Keep trying luv Laurie

Thanks heaps - have sent a reply have progressed to 'sending data to flash viewer' It's been sending for 15 mins!!! Think I'll try going back to bed!!

G'day g'day, how ya goin', what d'ya know, well strike a light G'day g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in' Just say g'day g'day g'day and you'll be right Isn't great to be an Aussie Takin' a walk along the street Lookin' in shops or buyin' a paper Stoppin' and havin' a yarn with people that you meet Down at the pub or at a party Whenever you're stuck for what to say If you wanna be dinky-di, why don't you give it a try Look 'em right in the eye and say goo'day G'day g'day, how ya goin', what d'ya know, well strike a light G'day g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in' Just say g'day g'day g'day and you'll be right Now when Italians meet they all go crazy The blokes all like to hug each other too The Yanks invented 'hi' 'and see you later' While the Pommy will shake your hand and say 'how do you do' Now watch out for a Frenchmen or he'll kiss you The Spaniards go for 'Olah' and 'Olay' But in the land of the cockatoo, pole cats and the didgeridoo When you meet an Aussie ten-to-one here's what he'll say G'day g'day, how ya goin', what d'ya know, well strike a light G'day g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in' Just say g'day g'day g'day and you'll be right It's a greeting that you'll hear across Australia From Geraldton to Goulburn, Gundagai It's as dinkum as the Dingo and the Dahlia And you spell it with a G, apostrophe, a D-A-Y G'day g'day, how ya goin', what d'ya know, well strike a light G'day g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in' Just say g'day g'day g'day and you'll be right Have a great Day Sue
