Just flying through - might have found another convict!!! Vonny

Old King Cold was a merry ole soul And a merry ole soul was he He called for his veebee And he called for his tree And he called for his wattlers three aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh .. not much of a poet am I??? Jood

Joodle. We is Ozzies mate. All true blue's hang there undies on the line.......Hill's Hoist forever......i say Roses are red. Violets are Blue......so goes the age old Rhyme. But i know, Violets are Red, and Roses are blue.. cos i saw them hanging on the line......:>))))) Tony Oz...:>))

Good on ya Tony, Laurie and I had a scoundrel relative who among other things was supposedly a publican around the Ned Kelly area (1866). (His eldest daughter made the funeral dress for Ned Kellys mother and sister.) He was also a Coach Driver, Mail driver, Sawyer, Carpenter, Millwright, Labourer amd raced horses. Sadly his name is not there. Hi Lara, went to the big shops today, took it slowly .. just dont enjoy looking around the way I feel atm, was glad to get home .. but at least I got out for a while. .. Still cold and wet here in the mountains. .. Will put my elecky blanket on soon and jump into bed for a while (get ready for the party tonight .. tho we could start any time really, couldnt we?) Waste of time hanging clothes out in this weather, I agree. .. The yanks have the right idea using dryers but then all their clothes are pre-shrunk. .. (Imagine the electricity bill) .. My yankee friends are horrified that we hang our 'smalls' on the line outside for everyone to see .. geez .. (Stop covering your eyes King Cold) Jood

Just added another link to my Ozzie thread on the tips board. Dont know if any of the Wattlers had Publicans in Victoria during the 19th Century...but thought i would list it just in case. Think Rebs said some of her Ancestors ran pubs in Vic.? Some of mine certainly did. All listed in Alphabetical order A to Z http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb(.)com/~pobjoyoneill/publicans/publicans.htm Tony Oz...:>)) Hugs to you also....U.K peeps.

Devily 12c in Yarrawonga, sorry bs its about -5 I'm sure oh how can you stand the cold over there oh well I guess it doesn't matter if it's warm inside Sue don't worry about washing girl it will be dry when it's dry same here as washing line on the unsunny side of house and put it out and sometimes a day later still damp so then dry in front of gas fire now . Is there anything colder than hanging out washing this time of the year think the Yanks have the right idea and dry everything in the dryer your hands must nearly be frost bitten Vonny, shock horror doing fh I can't find anybody might bite the bullet and have a look at hotmatches they are probably up to about 50 pages by now . Hello Joodles you must be feeling better how was grandson has he grown ? Hello Heather in Albury , did you get my funnies ? We just got about 6 drops of rain here just now wishing for more but not snow thanks, will talk to you all later and hope the peeps in Brissie are having a ball good luck to them Love Lara

Hope it doesnt rain on your parade!!! those up in Brissie, Says she thinking quietly to herself. hope it rains cats and dogs hee hee, someone was asking for a dog earlier pmsl. Hi Jood just read your message again about all the people naming themselves Princess and Queen etc, then I had to pick myself up off the floor when I read the part about Queen Tony :-0 No it doesnt suit. I was only thinking when I was walking around my suburb this morning, I live in a place called Kings Meadows, and my house has been referred to as a castle (of sorts), on the hill overlooking the suburb, soo if I live in a Castle in the Meadows of a King !!!! What could I call myself lol. Cheers Sue

Hi Dr, good to see you again. They are all giving themselves Princess/Queen titles these days. .. I'm one of the few who is 'Just Jood' .. Oh - and Tony is another untitled one . .. Somehow Queen Tony just does not suit him. Have a great time today, wont you, and tell us all the goss. .. Bit worried about Trifley & Anna, dancing on stage last night. Jood
