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

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

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

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
