Uh oh ...think I've had a bit too much exposure. Seems to have scared the peeps away on Floras thread as well. pmsl !!!

It's raining, it's raining. Think we may get a storm, dad's little terrier has decided to sit on my feet under the desk, that's a sure sign of thunder. She can hear it 50 miles away. Very quiet here today, hope that you are all having a great day. I kept putting my head round the door, but no one home. We used to go out most week ends, but we have cut it down a bit now , usually do when it gets cooler. Rebs, what do you mean you will save the tips for another 30-40 years. It may come sooner than you think LOL The rain is getting heavier, now I have two dogs under the desk. Singing in the rain, I'm singing in the rain, What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again, SuzyQ

Good arvo peeps lovely day here although slighty chilly, Lew what are you going to the nursery for please and what sort of trees did you get the advanced ones I mean are they for courtyard ? ok now will they stay in pots or in the ground please ? Love the colour Katherine has in her hair Anna it gives a lovely sheen and would make it look even healthier , oh for those days when you could be a different colour every week sometimes I would leave home in the morning and come home different Dad hated me doing that but he gave up lol. Katherine has picked a nice place to go when she finishes school to do her course can't think of a much nicer spot . Trifley are you a Pagan witch my girlfriend won't kill the spiders and she is Pagan and was horrified when I got off the phone to her and came back and said I saw a spider under the stool and had to go and get him she said did you kill him and I said sure did and she was just silent and then said ohhh ,sorry this is Australia and some are nasties she lives in London and maybe they don't have wolfs and white tails like we do here we have to spray or they would take over here and we couldn't go outside, at all I do chase the birds away after we spray as the dead spiders thousands of them would maybe hurt them especially the fairy wrens but it is really a have to here.What Movie did you watch looking for a few good dvds to take away with me for when it rains up there not much you can do unless you go to someone's van and play cards etc as when it does rain it RAINS near Tully and Babinda two wettest towns in Australia. Getting excited about going away although van isn't here yet nearly all my packing for the van is done but have to go and do check now to make sure, make a list of each thing in each box and and then when they go in the van as some thing naturally have to be put in first bedlinen etc have put everything in stripey bags and big plastic boxs with wheels place looks like a mad house but that's appropiate LOL Tiger reckons he will help me this first time ever I usually pack it on my own and as much as I grizzle about that I quite enjoy having about three weeks to do it while he does the boot of van cleans all the outside and checks wheels etc but as this will be done and we can actually pack the car before going to get the van if Tiger will stay home from golf B****y long enough and do I truly want him to help not in the van thanks just carrying the big boxs out and taking the empty one's back inside as other wise there will be amurder as his idea of packing is standing about three ft from open cupboard and throwing things in and then there will be two peoples who don't know where anything is as when we normally arrive at our destination he innocently asks did _WE_?__WE? bring such and such and then says well where would WE have put it ???? I have to do cupboard labels with what is where on them so as I don't commit murder . About a week before we come home he says' I know where it all is now dear' finally removes the labels and opens about three cupboards before he finds the things he wants OMG . Mary when are you going to Dunolly please as I wanted to let you know a very kind gentleman on the cemeteries list has been kind enough to tell me Anne Kavenough/Ward is in Eddington Cemetery and three of her and Henry's children but alas no Henry and I would love if you could possibly take some photos of their graves please. I will speak to you all later this arvo as have some of the dreaded to do and and need to get out and get rid of some of the blasted weeds that seem to fare well rain or not . and its most definatly not here as we havn't seen a spot for about amonth again love to all have alovely day bye for now Lara

'Morning Wattlers Joodles you sound chipper this morning....take it easy....you don't want a relapse. Lew Lew.....what fun you are going to have today.....furniture moving and putting up paintings. Graeme amd I always have a slight difference of opinion about hanging paintings, photos etc. He always wants them too high and I want them at eye level. He measures maticulously with a ruler and level....I just look at the wall, hammer in a hook and put the thing up. It's not a job we do well together pmsl. I hope you have more fun. Yooo hooo....Rebs...are you there? A couple of weeks ago you told us how your daughter was sitting on the gutter in Brissie and someone gave her money. Do you remember which gutter? I thought we could all sit there for awhile on the 10th and perhaps earn some poker-machine money heee heee.....only kidding. I'm off now to de-cobweb the outside of the house. We don't like to use sprays as it affects the frogs and lizards sooooo..... Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to webs I go With long, long broom and big strong boots Hi Ho, Hi Ho Be back later. Trifley X

Morning Joodles. Not too much ordering around with the furniture, that'll come when we try and decide where to put the paintings! lol. Yes, the fog has now lifted and it's a beautiful sunny day. I don't think it's ever going to rain again! Off to the nursery again this morning. Seeya Lew Lew - The Furniture Queen xxx

OOOOOOOOOOOOOoooohhhh another Queen in our midst .. Trifley, Qantas and Furniture. .. Glad to see you pop up again Lew, I was visualising you ordering Terry around, 'no not there' 'hmmm, no I think it looks better over on that wall' ... poooor Terry pmsl. I'm getting there Lew. .. Its been a quiet weekend, needless to say ..... I'm booooored .. pml. .. I might get back into bed later and read for a while. Whilst it is late for me to be eating this morning, there is nothing wrong with my appetite! .. I'm just too lazy to walk downstairs, get out of my comfort zone. .. I managed to lose a few kgs, but would have preferred it to come off when I was feeling normal! .. Still, who am I to complain. Isn't the weather lovely and sunny these days? Not a cloud in the sky here. 'wanders off to get some cereal tea and toast* Jood

Morning All. The furniture is absolutely beautiful and worth the wait. Very foggy in the valley this morning and cold. I'll wait for the sun to emerge before taking some photos. You sound like you're feeling heaps better Jood. I'm very pleased about that. Just be careful that you don't overdo it! :-) I'm not even going to attempt to read all of yesterday's posts. So, for all those not feeling well, positive thoughts are on their way. And to everyone else, have a wonderful day. Lew Lew - The Furniture Queen xxx :-)))))))))))))))))))

Rebs I have no idea what you're talking about.............. pmsl ;-)

Did I hear my name mentioned? Don't let that cat-person thingy deceive you Jood, she's misbehaving on another thread. Gosh Anna, music exams.....that brings back memories of torture. !!! AMEB ? Do you have to travel to the Lady Guthrie/Gowry? centre in Roma St or can you do them in T'woomba. Katelyn is grade 5 in violin in both AMEB and Suzuki..............althought you wouldn't know it know, she hardly picks it up since year 12. The stress we used to go through with those damn exams, not liking the music in the lists and having to find alternatives, finding a pianist to accompany her on the day.....arrgghhh!!!! Good luck to Katherine tomorrow, although I'm sure she won't need it.

btw I am angelically quiet as always pmsl

I'm on msn as well as here lol

You're very quiet Jules .. you need Rebs to stir you up pmsl Jood

Right here Joodles lol

Thanks Jill, morning all ................ rise & shine!!!! I've been up since 6.30 .. too much sleep!! Lew Lew .. you finished rearranging your furniture yet? Laurie .. no news from you .. what you up to? Anna .. your daughter's hair sound nice after all, I was thinking she was a blonde like her mum. Jules where are you (your tonight)??? Thank you JA for your kind words Off to have a shower .. too roo .. *waves* Jood

Bucket of pitch! Better luck next week. We've been out to dinner - double celebration for Chris's birthday and mine - we are only 10 days apart - his is next Wednesday. Very nice it was too. Joodles - the blueberry turned out quite nicely - it gives Katherine's medium brown hair darker almost violet highlights. Subtle though and of course it's a wash out one. We've done the blonde streak thing and it did dreadful damage to her hair even though it was done professionally. Poor girl takes after me - very fine hair. Anyhow, the streaks have finally grown out and her hair is back in good condition but we only use wash out colour now - not permanent. She looked lovely when we went out for dinner. It is her school's open day tomorrow so she is performing with choir and concert band so that is where I will be tomorrow. Then flute exam on Monday. The music department at school want her to do the 'Music Extension' subject next year which is OP eligible. I really don't know what to think as she doesn't want to make a career of music. She wants to study for a Bachelor of Digital Media at the SAE Institute in Byron Bay when she finishes Year 12. I don't even want to think about it - she's still such a baby - and she can get her learners licence in January!!! Anyhow - enough mother's ravings from me for one night. Sweet dreams to all XX Anna

Just been watching a movie with Mark. Thought I'd better check in about the lotto. No win...can't be helped. You can't win them all. My, aren't I philosophical tonight. Graemes just come home so I think I'll have a cup of coffee with him before I go to bed. Night all. ~~~~ stands on tippy toes to wave to those on the other side of the world. Trifley X X

OK Jood Good try.. better luck next week.. Will unpack.. Have a good sleep Love Maryxx

Hi Joodles, Jill here, I know you're sleeping patterns are out of wack, my OH had quad bypass last year and it took him ages to get it right again, so just say to yourself, no don't say anything just do what you feel's right for you, b---er the rest of the world. take care , a new friend, Jill

Well Jules babes, I'm off to bed, don't know what the other aussies are doing, maybe their footie teams didnt win .. or something .. or maybe they ran out of VB tablets, or Sherry or summat, or maybe they kicked the football on someones roof .. pmsl See you all tomorrow Jood
