My dear Anna. It is never too early for lessons in etiquette, deportment and elocuation. Poor Ray. Would have like to have seen the look on his face, though *mmm, now where did I leave that car???* Lew Daly-Watkins

Vonny, thread is back. Anna - its just a 'change a letter in a 5 letter word' thing that we contribute to - I think Suzy does it too, similar to the 4 letter word. .. Just to keep our brains active! Frosty boy does the 4 letter, and Christine Clissold does the 5 letter one. Jood

* has visions of ladies with upswept hair and large hats covered in flowers, tight waist, bustle, long sleeve dress, gloves, dainty parasol, pointed boots with a little heel* visiting Lew Lew* .. I must say, it doesnt exactly sound like us Wattlers, does it? Poor Ray .. I bet a few choice words left his lips this morning ! You are very lucky Laurie to get all that information. .. Does this mean a larger filing cabinet is required? Jood is off to podiatrist to get her feet pampered, and then taking on her first baby-sitting job for Lucas, whose Mum & Dad are doing a Law exam today. (And another on Tuesday next). .. He is 9 weeks old now. .. The other day when I was giving him a bottle, I thought he was looking at this strange face, but no, it was my striped tee shirt that had caught his eye .. pmsl Jood

Morning all Just poked my head out into the big wide world of the general board for a stickybeak - it's still on for young and old!! Why do they bother to post on threads which are obviously intended to stir the pudding! Lew - bit early in the morning for 'etiket' - speak to me at a refined hour - e.g. 2.00pm! Much bathing in milk, gentle stretching and English tea to be partaken of before I am ready for lessons on how to brush up my ladylike skills. Poor Ray - I can only imagine the look on his face when he went outside and no car! All the more reason to move back to the peaceful Queensland countryside. Vonny - what thread are you talking about? I'm just surprised the whole lot haven't disappeared in a puff of poisonous smoke! They are even speaking in tongues on the 7 word story!! Washing to be hung out See ya later Anna

Good morning all . . . A lovely brisk sunny day on the Bay, A tanker is just making its way to moorings over at Kernell and there are 6 giraffes standing around with their heads in the sky at Port Botany. We have had our excitement for the day - pmsl . . . The poor lovely Ray forgot to move his car last night - left it out on the Grand Parade, he had planned to be going to the airport last night to pick someone up, but they called to say they would get a cab. Goes out to get in car at 7am only to find no car - clearway started at 6am - been towed away !!!! All in a dither so he was, Ah well thats taken care of his pocket money for the month !!! Good thing I didn't show him results of my shopping trip yesterday . . I am so lucky, the cousin I have recently linked up to here on GR is sharing some of the best stuff going - she has all the letters written between my gran and her two sons that were killed in action in WWII, plus lots of photos of them that they sent home, and all sorts of stuff on their service that I never dreamt you could get your hands on. She even has correspondence between Gran and the only survivor of the Lancaster that went down over Harburg killing my Uncle Geoff, who was a Navigator. I have always felt a bit sad about the small amout of info I had on Uncles Geoff & Victor compared to everyone else . . have heaps to fill in now. All of a sudden they are real people not just names and dates. How many sleeps Von ????? Morning early posters - Flutterby, Lew, Joodles, Von, Mags, Pam & Mary, Tell me Lew, what sort of looks do you get in the office when you start chuckling at Wattler antics ??? How much do you actually tell the others in the office ??? Have they got Mental Health on speed dial ??? Thank you for that wonderful lesson on etiquette - I shall inspect the handle of said umbrella and make my decision before I visit - if you see me clinging for dear life you will know that I dont trust the servants and will in no way be a reflection on you. Mary, fingers still crossed for you - what is the agents take on the couple who visited for 2nd time ?? Do they think it is a goer ??? Going to spend a few hours entering info so will be around and look in again later cheers luv Laurie

Morning all Booooooooodiful here in Qld. Thank you Dr Lew. I like maroon pills. Can I have some more please, pretty please. Pam

Morning All ~~~~~~~~~~~ No Jood, can't find five letter thread anywhere. off to 'work' today so catch you about lunch time :) Vonny

Morning Jood, Flutters, Mags and Mary. How's that sale coming along, Mary? Lew Lew x

Morning Wattlers. Not as cold here this morning as yesterday, it's only minus 3.5c as we speak. Pam, I do hope you're not casting aspersions on my reputation, lol. Don't forget I'm married to a Solicitor and defamation charges can be laid in the blink of an eye, pmsl. Now, take this very sweet, little, maroon pill and mind your mouth! This morning, I wish to quote to you all from a wonderful book by Mrs Danvers Delano called 'The Ways of Society'. I think you could all do with a little lesson in etiquette (particularly you, Pam, in view of your previous outburst) 'Paying Calls - In paying a first call, always make it, if possible, about 3.30, so that you avoid being invited to tea and do not in any way clash with a late luncheon. Never stay longer than a quarter of an hour, as the servants often remain stationary in the hall in order to let out the visitors. Do not call en masse; two is quite the limit. Of course, you always leave your umbrella in the hall, or your sunshade, though if the handle is something quite out of the ordinary you might possibly be justified in clinging to it.' Well, that's today's little reading. Another lesson will be posted tomorrow. Off to the office! I was going to say 'work', but I think we all know there's not much of that being done, heee, heee, heee. Lew Lew (14 sleeps)
