Hello,

Today for the first time in over three weeks it was not raining and not even overcast, the sun was out. All day! Did four loads of washing that actually went outside on the line in the sun plus one that was under the deck roof and was wet with fog. All five lots dried! It seems amazing. Even planted some lettuce seeds. What a day, but it's supposed to be raining in our area again tomorrow. Hope not, a bit more sun would be good.

Hi everyone.. We have rain again..butter..getting a bit fed up with it..some sun would be nice,,,,,some people are never satisfied..hee hee hee..

Been busy with family here for the weekend and more again next weekend..plus during the week..this being a long weekend it seems everyone is leaving home..lol Have daughter fromOrange here for the weekend also and all the family..It will be lovely to see them as we dont get to Orange much any more...John has not had many good days where he can manage to do anything..so we dont go far any more..

Waiting on a cert. from the UK to check up on a distant Aunt,,hopeing she can give me some clues to my brick walls...

Hope all are well and June still has a job,, and Merle is sorting things ready to move and paining her little heart out and selling some to make some money..our new Celeb Artist..

Love to all

Evening All, we have damp, a small shower even !! Yipee !!
Just to explain to Badger who must think I'm bonkers wanting water after seeing the massive floods up north, my little corner of the planet is very very dry lol. We would like perhaps one third of a downpour, enough to fill some dams and rivers, but not enough to sweep away roads, bridges and livestock.
Nice to hear from you Merle, you'll be giving Sir Tones a run for his money in the painting game soon. Good on you having a go. I'd like to do watercolours after I've retired, I reckon I could manage some nice washes and call them all "Somewhere in a fog". Can't draw anything recognisable for quids tee hee.
I have finally begun to do another of the ggfathers trees about which I know very little. I will have to venture onto scotlandspeople soon I think, so must put aside some dollars. I have enjoyed googling some names though, its amazing what comes up, I get so side-tracked! In this case I have to follow Scotland to NZ, so I'm a bit out of my depth, being so used to Aussie and English records.
June all the best in your job situation especially if tomorrow (Tuesday) is D-Day, is this a situation that will continue or are you facing unemployment? Looks as though Ann has heaps to do in Wales - how exciting! All the best for her trip.
Time for a cuppa with DD17, who is researching Elizabeth Barrett Browning sonnets in order to make a podcast for English (Year 12). A subject I know very little about, so I may get edumicated !
Keep Well everybody,
Hz

Morning all.. We have dull...

June What a sod your boss is,, Do hope you manage to keep your job,,Glad JA managed to find out all you needed for Ann to take to the Uk with her..would have been a tragedy if she had gone without it..
Am still waiting to win lotto so that I can get to Kew..and the archives in Edinbur.as I am having prob with my dad..he is a mystery..

Merle Do hope you are ok and enjoying the new hobby of painting..You and Tony are a pair of artist we are lucky to have..wish I had a bit of talent in that field..Hope the knee is ok still..

Been doing some FH but am frustrated with all my brick walls...Got to the stage of going around in circles..lol..

Hope all are well..
Love Mary xxxx

Glad it is what you wanted June I really enjoyed doing it hugs to Anne
Love

Trifley, you are an absolute angel, thank you so very much for all this, and to all the others who have helped.

i can now make the list Anne will need to take to the BDM registery to get certificates, espically when she is in Cardiff, we have managed to squeeze in 3 days in Wales and found on line the local cemeteries she can visit to find the headstones etc. We know so little about her family so all of this will assist greatly.

On the job front, the SOB paid us one lot of pay on friday, some of it in actual cash.......and the rest transfered into our accounts. however we had to push the issue, so why he could'nt just pay us in the first place GOK's. So we will continue to work till tuesday when he is suppossed to pay the rest.......so we will see what happens.............

had a lovely weekend away.........spent most of it asleep.......must have been what I needed.....

once again thanks for all your help and encouragement......

love June xoxox

June send me email addy and I will try

Morning all i hope all our members in N S W are all okay and keeping dry ,got one hell of a shock after reading about the flooding,and all the damage it has done,along with the high winds.
Us brits never think of these things happening over there always looking at Oz being a dry arid country,more so ,as other parts of that fair land are in desperate drought.
I think i will go to the superstore this next week and get my wine in early,as a lot of our wine comes from coffs harbours vineyards,looks as there may be a shortage this coming autumn,i only hope that this situation dosn't last long ,seems you poor peeps are getting hit with one thing after another.
I have a while today with nothing to do while i wait for this washing machine to arrive ,so Cow Girl,i will have a look for you and see what i can dig up with the limited resources i have on hand[our local library and all the records are out of reach until next month]
Enjoy this next week all you lucky people ,NEXT weekend ,when the school term ends you will all be hiding in the outback while your kids invade the towns , he he ,bet some of them will still head for the beaches and rivers for a plodge or two.
Catch you later,Fred.

morning all,

well today is D day, if the boss has not paid by lunch time we down tools and walk of the job, probably never to see our money again, so not a good day, feeling quite sick actually...........

anyway enough of the miseries........

I actually need some help please....yesterday our computior crashed and as it si going to cost nearly a $1000. to retrieve the data we have made the decision to let it all go......including all my family history stuff.......and do you think I can find the hard copies of anything..................nnnnnnnnnnoooooooooo they will be in a box somehwere,,,,though never actually discovered where somewhere is, not marked on any map I have hehe..........

anyway I was hoping one of you kind people wold look up a couple of enteries for me as Anne leaves for England in 9 days and she is going to go to Wales for a couple of days to try and find some family info ect before she journys up to Iona. What I am looking for are the enteries in the BDM register, page/entery no etc which will help her identify the correct certificates etc

Edward Loosemore B c 1886 Pontypridd Glamorgan Wales
married (no 1) Elizabeth Bridgeman b c 1891/ d c 1926d Glamorgan
they had 4 children
then married (no 2) Annie M Jones b c 1988/ d c 1940 Pontypridd Glamorgan
they had 1 child Eileen b 11 FEb 1928 (Annes mum)
then married (no 3) Lillian Dale (or Passmore) b c ??/ d 1969 this is our mystery woman....... (although I actually did find the marriage of Edward to Lillian Dale listed in the BDM register) (we think Dale may be her first husbands surname)

so any help that you might be able to give me would be greatly appreciated...

Hope you all have a lovely day

cheers for now

June (CG)

Good morrow everyone from Newcastle O T,where old Fred is wondering where everyone is these last three days,on this thread,and two others ,lol.
Has everyone started their holidays early i ask myself ,or is every one digging themselves in and pulling the soil back over themselves before the young'uns are let off the leash he he.
Us lot in the old country must be getting ready for it too ,i smelt at least two B B Q fires last evening as i shut the chalet for the night ,but we had a nice stir fry anyway,more healthy ,and besides ,i prefer to wait until we get a nice warm day ,cor ,you lot over the pond ,in your fall ,are getting better weather than we are in blighty [sniff ,not fair] it's only 14c over here ,windy and veeeery wet ,and if this keeps up ,we will be going back into the winter before we get a summer ,mutters under breath.lol.
Bu**** it .if we wins the lottery ,fred isn't coming over on holiday ,hes'e moving over there [that's it ,all run for cover humph].
Just renewed mine and Liz's train passes for another year ,£24 for us both ,and we can use the train,or metro as many times as we like between Sunderland and Newcastle for the next year,including the weekends.
What with that ,and the free bus passes ,travel wise ,we are pretty much sorted.
I think i will take the missus to town later on today,and use two of the vouchers for mcdonalds while we are there,i rather fancy a chicken burger and large fries for £1-99, and saves me cooking too ,all i need to worry about is a stir fry for tonight.
Nowt i can do in the garden owing to the weather ,so ,i am off to sulk,and wait for the weekend
Hope everyone has had a good day ,Fred.
