Hi honey, I'm home, anyone up? I might miss out on the turn overs but I bet I'm going to be the last one standing/sitting tonight. night night all, god bless Jill

Evening Waffling Wattlers.......4 pages.....my gosh you lot can talk! This is what happens when I go out for the day. Graeme had a day off today so I decided to give him a break from the garden and we spent the day out. Had a yummy lunch at Robina, shopped for some bling at a Michael Hill sale, then went to see The DaVinci Code. I enjoyed it. It missed a few things from the book but if it had everything it would have stretched for 5 hours. I quite liked Tom Hanks as the lead. Graeme thought Harrison Ford might have been better but I think Hanks made a good professor. You didn't expect him to perform any heroics like you would have with Ford. All round a reasonable version of the book and good entertainment. (And I say YOU lot waffle pmsl....look at me!) Hi Cat....liked the poem....a bit of culcha is good now & then. Lew Lew....What's your niece doing when she returns from the Chelsea show? This Friday Ch 7....Better Homes & gardens is from the show. Might we see your niece on there? Vonny...have a relaxing weekend. Did John ever get his green antique marine motor back? If he can't restore some of the things you could always turn them into garden art and sell them for a fortune. Some people will buy anything pmsl. Laurie...give Joodles a big hug from me when you see or talk to her. She is probably getting better because of all the positive thoughts we are having. I'm heading off to bed now. Still have a bit of my book left to read. ~~~~~waves to all you mad, funny, wonderful cyber-friends. love Trifley PS....I guess I'm not the only one who fancies black pmsl X

Good evening Wattlers . . . Lots of talk of insanity, I personally think it is of the contagious variety . . . Just back from a walk down Bay Street to soak up a bit of the atmosphere! Early this evening they blocked off the street and they have 3 hugh screens set up - the place is packed - families have come out in their droves with their chairs and their rugs - the old street is full of atmosphere, its amazing. Just like during the Olympics in Greece and the last World Cup !! Brighton-Le-Sands being the the centre of the Greek population in Sydney, they are all out towatch the game of soccer . . . Greek & Aussie flags flying everywhere, faces painted, either way they say they are a winner! Off to bed, a bit cool outdoors, need the PJ's and the blankeys. Night all . . . Hey Jules, thanks for the poem, cheers luv Laurie

Laurie, good to get an update that Joodles is feeling so much better. have Gr emailed you a couple of times but looks like GR emails are having a problem, so please could you give her my love and lots of prayers for being well soon, and staying with you! JA

Nice poem, Julie. just flows when you read it too. I'll think about charging admission LOL Vonny ps serves you right if we ALL send you a copy of the email. pmsl.

Here it is :-) I am a child of the Dreamtime People Part of the Land like the gnarled gum tree I am the river, softly singing Chanting out songs on the way to the sea My spirit is the dust-devils Mirages that dance on the plain I’m the snow, the wind and the falling rain I’m part of the rocks and red desert earth Red as the blood that flows in my veins I am eagle, crow and snake that glides Through the rainforest that clings to the mountainside I awakened here when the earth was new There was emu, wombat, kangaroo No other man of a different hue I am this land And this land is me I am Australia Hyllus Marus Australia

Morning everyone :-) Jill Jill it will be a long read with this lot lol. btw I know what you mean about mens thighs, the English version of football bores me but we have rugby over here (where I'm from we have the best rugby team :-) ) I watched a cup match (not the final) and enjoyed it but found watching all those men getting hot and sweaty even better ;-) *wipes brow and makes note to self to watch even more rugby* Lew Lew congratualtions to Bethany :-) Vonny the advantage of the house been like a museum is you can always show it off and charge for entrance lol Tony Happy Birthday to your granddaughter and enjoy your red jelly lol Laurie thanks for reminder about poem.........have to admit poetry isn't usually my thing.........what I've read in the past hasn't inspired me to read any more lol but this one I really enjoyed. Will post it seperately in a minute. Jude (in Melb) are you saying that you really aren't all alcoholics and mad pmsl Now this washing powder email thingy......why hasn't anyone sent me it???? I want it NOW *stamps foot and pouts* lolol *waves to all* Juliexx (who hasn't checked her email yet and may actually have said washing powder email thingy pmsl)

I went straight to page three and found my answer to the giraffe puzzle, aarrhh I said, got to go now and feed dogs and then we are going out so shall have nice long read when I get home, might have time for a quick sherry before we go cheers, Jill

Ta for the thoughts Laurie, sorry Shazz, never crossed my mind! We will be down there again in November - I'll find the dates. Actually we are going to stay in Christian's Minde - across the river. John got friendly with the owners when we were last down there. They are direct decendants of the original family who first settled the area. Sad story really as their health has made it impossible to carry on with the guest house but they can't really sell it for what it is worth as there is only 15 years (I think) left on the original lease and then it reverts to National Park. Incredible history. They are giving John a lot of boat stuff for him to restore etc. They want to see it go to a good home. Our place is looking more and more like a museum!!!!! Ooops, better away and do something about tea :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vonny

Suzy did you like the washing powder then hehe sorry but thought I sent it to you too I would like an updated wattlers list please but we need Lyns birthday too now cooeee Lyn Tony loved the song good one mate I always made sure that I sat close to the biggest meringue when I went to a party just loved them give granddaughter big hug and tell her Happy Birthday Tony got the Numbers mate thanks again for doing it for us Lew anytime will suit me thanks just can't wait.

Afternoon Wattlers. Cold day in Malbin. Off to daughters tonight for the grandaughters birthday party. SusyQ. My favourite is red jelly mate,and i always go for the one that has a chocolate frog embedded in it......:>)) Good to hear Joodle is feeling a bit better. Maybe a sing song might cheer her up.... ( Gargles with a V.B.tablet ) O'h we ain't got a barrel O'money. This thread is so damn funny and we Waffle along with a Wattleing song side by side. Through all kinds of weather, what if its night or day just sitting at our puters, ...... and Waffling away. So our Wattlelotto's making no money and the other alf dont think thats its funny, but we Waffle along, with a laugh and a song side by side. Searching for our dead peeps in-a Gene-a-logical way so what if we dont find E'm they'll haffta stay that way. Don't know what's comin' tomorrow... Hot match might bring us some sorrow so we Waffle along,with a laugh and a song side by side......:>)))) Av a good un. Tony Oz....:>))

JOODLES UPDATE Joodles has just called me on the phone, and she sounds heaps better than yesterday, talking almost normal without the gasps for air! (but then she did just come off the oxygen) No probs with the scan, a patch on pnemonia in one corner, and they are starting her on some stonger drugs tonight! She thinks she will be out of hospital tomorrow, promises she will take things easy, but says she has two important appointments on Monday she can't miss! Is she taking up my request for her to come stay a few days . . . ?? Time will tell She is bored, can't get online, dragging the magazine stories out because she forgot to take her book. Sends her love and thanks for your get well wishes cheers luv Laurie
