New Wattle thread....sooooo will bookmark with a little "Baby Boomers".. Limerick.


Washing trough's, Grandfather clock's,
Football boots with wooden stocks.
Skipping ropes, Velvet soaps,
Woolen scarf's and overcoats.

Men in spats,Old top hats,
Shingled roofs with tiled slats.
Old tin sheds,Wire beds,
Outside dunnys where the papers read.

Woodfire stoves,Ragged clothes,
Scratched your hives and picked ya nose.
Girls in frocks,Old Hopscotch,
Platted hair with Bobby socks.

Pony tails,Boys with snails,
Cubby house with Rusty nails.
Cracker night,At Twilight,
Every girl and boys delight.

Hot tar roads, Frogs and Toads,
Wooden pegs for washing loads.
Lino floors,Jacks and Taws,
Wooden homes with broken doors.

Trey's and Zack's,Chimney stacks,
Hobnailed boots with metal tacks.
Big gum trees,Bleeding knees,
Vinegar for itching fleas.

Old Jack frost,Cold ice blocks,
Cod-liver oil and Vick's for coughs.
Dr. Thars,Two inch scars,
Vaseline in little jars.

School Kit-bags,Sheep with dags,
Sisters hair in knotted rags.
Bonfire night,Brown paper kite,
Flying high right out of sight.

Gas Balloons,Golden tunes,
Stary nights with silvery moons.
Lovers lane,Tattooed name,
Hickey necks if you were game.

Buttoned shirts, Pleated skirts,
Pink Mohair jumpers for the flirts.
Pool and Darts, Hoods with Tarts,
Cruisin in their motor cars.

Brylcreamed hairs,Pants with Flares,
Spin the bottle...Truth or Dare's.
Rock or Jive,Your alive,
Record nights with 45s.



Tony.....:>))

Hi Lara - thanks for starting another thread - like Mary said all looked a bit funny - lots of posts but nothing said - and that's not like us Wattlers - lol

Glad you and Mike had a nice break away - hope Mike's knee is okay.

Tony - lovely reminiscing - I had my hair in rags once but it still came out dead straight and I could sit all day with hair in curlers and still nothing - hair was so fine then.

Dave gets back tonight from his travels - hope he's coped with Darwin's humidity.

Time to look at menu for Vietnamese and get it ordered.

Good luck, fingers, toes and whatever else crossed for lotto tonight.

All well here but OH has had asthma all week, very dry and dusty with temperatures up and down like the Aussie dollar! We all get to sleep in tomorrow, so catch you all later, ~~ Hz

Hi all
Just returned from a 3 day conference in Adelaide- beautiful city at this time of the year, especially when a couple of us bunked off for a couple of hours and caught the tram to Glenelg.
Hope everyone is well

Well, tomorrow is going to be a very trying day. For those you missed the message, our Hank (aged 30) lost his battle with a brain tumour on Wednesday and the funeral is tomorrow. His wife Kellie and 6 weeks old Isabella will need lots of Wattler support, so please send all your positive thoughts their way.

Off out to brunch this morning, so I'll check in later

Afternoon Wattlers

Aaah a nice new thread and to celebrate going into our 5th year as Wattlers whoo hoo.

Feeling a bit tired now as didnt sleep last night. We had Tamikas boyfriend Tim's 18th Birthday party, for those who dont go into sandpit, we hired a hall and put on music and light etc, no major problems which was good, there was about 25 there, no gatecrashers, damage, fights and so forth so we are lucky. Tims is feeling a bit worse for wear but he will get over it :-)

No a lot else has happened here so just a ~~~ and big hello to all.
Have and nice day :-) Cheers Sue

Prayers for Kellie and Isabella coming threefold from this family (HzBzSz) - a sad sad story, but highlighted by faith, trust and courage. Blessings to you Lew supporting your friends so strongly and deeply.
Tassie well done with the celebration of Tim's 18th and a good time had by all, good to show that fun can be had just by being together, good music and a bit of energy and everyone can join in.
Lara darling, you are a champion to get away to Warnambool with Mike, he must really have loved the change of scene plus you got to explore cemeteries etc lol. Glad you got a contact out of your article - pity no more info YET - it might take longer but at least you will meet up with one more pair of eyes and ears trying to crack the puzzle of the Days/O'Days - every bit helps.
We have been having a transtition period at the shop since June and I have dropped off the radar somewhat, due to staffing and other issues, but in a couple of weeks we should be all clear with newbies trained up and a regular roster again. Most importantly DD is settled into Yr 12, got her subjects, is gung-ho on her projects and is organising her own time to a much greater degree. This included the local Show this weekend, went twice with two sets of friends, but managed her own budget (with a bit of a boost from dad's wallet of course) and is this afternoon hitting the keyboard doing English essay, Drama essay and Legal studies project, only asking for FOOD lol.
My brother stopped by for an overnight stay recently
so I got the nitty-gritty low-down on how Dad and Phyllis his friend are coping still at home at 90+, all is better than good, they are frailer but happy and managing well.
Horribly hot and dry wind here, they said it might rain today but someone else is getting it as usual. I am only watering selected veg and am thinking about a fabulous autumn garden for next April, because it won't be worth keeping anything going past Xmas this year unless we get a decent deluge.
We have had the cooling on already for several days a week - oh except for the days last week where we needed the heater cos it was -2 at Rutherglen
lol.......

better stop blethering ( love that word which I have adopted from Jilly McMad! )

take care all,

~~~~~Hz

Ps Tones, do you take commissions ! I reckon you could earn a healthy living writing ditties for particular functions, I might hire you! - you have a Gift my friend!
