Nighty nite, sleep tight Don't let the bed bugs bite Pam

Morning all. Thanks for your pics Anne - must have been a treat for you to see the March outside the hotel :) Mary - what a life - it looks lovely where you are .. half your luck. .. I'm just gonna have to get back in the water myself - no more procrastinating. ~~~~~~~~ to all, have a great day Love Jood

Morning Wattlers, sitting up in bed watching Sunrise and playing on the laptop. Showers predicted today, so keep your fingers crossed. Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow? Well, I think we all know now, lol. I know you think they're tomatoes, but trust me, they aint. Pull them out immediately and don't burn them. *images of retirement village residents sitting around bonfire completely smashed - not good* Nope, sorry Tony, all my Richardsons are from Victoria. My family are the only ones who have moved since the 1840's. Lara, I'd like to build a bocci court. Could you do me a favour and find out the measurements. Ta muchly. Haven't had a chance to see Sarah Louise yet. I'm going to drop a present in on Friday, so hopefully I'll get a glimpse of her then. *makes not to remember camera*. Where's Laurie? I know there's several Arches between Taree and the Border. Drive safely and watch out for the coppers. Honey Rum, you, and your credit card, have been very busy. Sounds like you've had fun. Jood and Sandra, just be careful on the roads, there's a lot of sick people out there who have no problem taking little matters a lot further. Tassie, you have been very busy. I hope you're taking this opportunity to rid yourself of all the junk one seems to accumulate. I did and the Salvation Army were very happy. Good luck at the oncologists, Trifles. May the power of the Wattlers be with you. Power also to our SuzyQ with that naughty back and blood pressure. Get better soon! Well, I'm off to have some breakfast and attempt to vacuum the pool. This could be interesting, lol. If you hear a splash, you know what's happened. Love to you all, Lew Lew xxx

Morning all :) Wednesday is grand-d day so I'll be away all day. Has anyone intercepted Laurie yet?? Tassie, don't overdo the packing and cleaning :) WWW - I got up to 15mins on the exercise bike this morning. ~~~~~~~~~~~~to everyone, Vonny PS: 24. If you jump off a Paris bridge, you are in Seine.

~~~~~~~~waves to everyone as she strolls through thread on her way to bed~~~~~~~~ Catxx

Nice to see you Cat. Take care and have a big sleep. Vonny, enough with the humour. It's getting worse, lol Lew Lew xxx

~~~~~~~~Morning all~~~~~~~~~ Had a lovely surprise this morning. Went to switch puta on and I had a pressie waiting for me. After 37 yrs of marriage, o h remembered the date. Wonders will never cease !!!!!! lol Vonny, still NOT getting any better. My garden had a small drink this morning, but I wish Huey would open up them thar skies and let it bucket down. Morning puddy tat Morning Jood Morning Lew Lew Anyway, have to go and study my handbook as I am working at the polling booths on election day (for Qld), then I might get on my deadly treadly (son's saying) and go for a ride. Talk later Pam

Morning Wattlers, beautiful sunny day today, summer must be on its way ...yea! Happy aniversary Ducky.... so tell...what was your pressie? Hope everyone is ok and if not >>>hugs<<<< I'll have to post my special lotto nos tomorrow as I wont be arround on friday, hope thats ok. I've been busy trying to get some FH stuff together , been contacted by 2 peeps who are distant rellies on different branches of my tree. Why is it its always the ones that I dont have very organised that people want?? OK have to do some office work now, back later Flakey

Hi all, as per usual, can't get my s**t together to check and note what everybody has been doing , but have notice a bit of extra p/a happening. Lew, I'm thinking about the x's 'cept have to type too unless the esp kicks in soon. Heres some for starters for you and the other water babies A good one for the noodle is to sit on it like a swing, nice and straight so the ends stick up on the out siide of your arms. I'll draw piccies later & scan them, anyway. breastroke arms pedaling legs like riding a bike. got to stay straight (sitting straight - naughty Tony and Laurie) then you work your abs and back. pedal up and down, imagine there's a dog chasing you and do fast bits. You can stick it between you legs and do running legs too, but nice posture. works chest as well. Push ups - Get the noodle, hands shoulder width apart. push the noodle down under where your 'underwire goes. do push ups with your legs floating up behing with bum cheeks tight and belly squeezed in. Abs - keep hanging onto your noodle in the same place. bring both knees down and your noodle to your chest. and then legs out in front at the same time. so you are on your back. roll back the other way, pushing noodle out in front. Backwards /forwards - for abs. back bum etc. Now remember if these things hurt - don't do them!!!!!!!!!! happy anniversary fluffy. also got mnail from bea, my coz who is coming to visit next sep/oct/nov sometime. I am so excited as I met her on GR. Isn't there someone else coming out from the uk then too? Tony, I am sure there is a lady at one of my classes, Richardson relos from Hay. I will ask her on Monday. Got to get ready and be outa here shortly Have a great arvo, and just 'cause i haven't mentioned your name, doioesn't mean i'm not thinking of you. lotsa love Yvette

G'da to my wonderful cyber friends OK Ducky....happy anniversary. Wotya get, wotya get... Crew....we have a Bocci set but not a large enough area of flat grass to play. When we play it's usually after a few drinks so it doesn't matter about all the rules. We'll have to have a tournament in February. Vonny....those snippets seem funny to me...don't listen to Ducky. Honey Anne...sounds like you've had a few busy days. Devily....take it easy youydon't want to hurt yourself. Mary....the pool area looks great. Is it a fountain of youth? You and John look younger to me. Has anyone seen Laurie? Well today is the big day...I'm off to the oncologist shortly. If I'm not pi***d tonight I'll send you all an email to let you know what's what. Gotta have a shower and make myself bewdiful. Catch ya later love Trifley X
