hello all - we are having a hot and cold week. one night it's too hot to sleep and the next, I'm eyeing off the doona again!!!

Will see if I have your email, Sandra.

Could anyone tell me if a notebook is the same as a laptop?? They all look the same in the cattledogs.

So you're a tennis widower again Sir Tones!! That time of year seems to come around awfully quickly!

~~~~~~~~~~ and love to all,

Marie - glad you had a good Dr report.

hello To All, We have had a couple of cooler days (sigh) but soon to warm up they reckon.
Tony you can keep your temps to yourself lol only place to be but under the aircon.
Is Barb at the tennis this week?

Yes Mary the Dell people are good,the guy we called in was a local one,and when explained was simple.
We are now sorting out stuff we put on thumb drive from old pc, we could have transfered directly with special cable but some parts were corupted so did'ent want to pass that over to new one.We have another desktop which suits us.

Hope all those in hot places are keeping cool.

~~~~~~~~~~~~to all cheers Sandra in the Gong

Arvo.

Warm to Hot day in Melbin. Temp gauge on the decking reads 38-39c.

Roads are reasonable quite, as still a lot of peeps on Holidays, or its to hot to venture out.

Australia day B.B.Q coming up next Monday, and kids and grandies coming down...................and all being well, if its not total fire ban the local council will provide us a all outdoor concert and tucker with a muliti-cultral flavour,and a spectactular fireworks display as usual.

Lunch time here, so a nice Ham n' salad sanga seems the go.

Best wishes to all who are not 100%

Tony......:>)) * Sitting under the Air-Con*.....lol

Hi everyone.. Gonna be a hot one for the rest of the week,,butter...roll on winter...

Sandra If you are having problems with the puta ring Dell as their support men are just great and they will come out to the house and sort you out..They also have great support over the net..when I bought my new lappy last year it came with American keyboard configuration and when I typed something correctly on my keyboard it came out with something different,,I contacted their on line support and got a lovely girl in Malaysia who walked me through to where she could take over the puta and sorted it out and put in the correct configuration for Australia,,we had a lovely chat after she had finished as being born in that country myself we had a lot in common..she was just lovely..
Hope it is now working well for you..I just love my new lappy..did you get a lappy or a desktop..AND WE STILL HAVENT HAD ENOUGH RAIN..lol

Marie What a trying time having to get to Sydney at that time of the day..and even in Sydney having to be somewhere that early..not a easy time..Glad the results were good though, so you can at least now relax..

Merle How is the knee after the tweeking...hope it feels a lot better. Big Hugs..

Lew. Trust you to sneak in a pinch a number,,,that will be 2 purple pills for you now to cure you of the habit...

June So glad you have a new builder,,They might be a bit more considerate now that there is a recession on and be keen to build your house..Any work is good work at the moment.. Are your final plans still the same..

HZ Don'T go working to hard..I hope you get another girl soon..

Well its that dreaded H...k day today as the maid has the day off so its my job..lol..How is it that some people have maids and I dont,,I musta done sumfink wrong in my childhood..hee hee hee...

Big Hugs for all..

Love Mary xxxxx

Hello Everyone,Happy New Year to you all.Boy its been hot for the past 2 weeks.
Mary I hope your husband is feeling better.

I have had the grandchildren from Castlemaine since the 1st. of Jan., they went back on tue13th.We had a great time,I felt very relaxed while they were here.
I had my yearly systoscopy yesterday I telephoned the hospital to get the time for admittance and LOL they said 6.30am, I just Laughed and then I put the phone down and the S--T hit the fan.My daughter walked in at 5.30. and I told her the good news,she said we will have to go down to Sydney Now ## I said not before we find some where to stay. So we ended up at the airport at the Formular 1, It isnt that far to the Hurstville Private Community Hospital.We managed to leave Bathurst at 6.10.Not Bad a good time to travel to Sydney
The Doctor said everything looked good *yipee* but why do they come to you when you really are not with it fighting to keep your eyes open, he did say other things but I cant recall what he said.
Cheers to June ,Tony,Laurie,Mary in Syd.Lewella ,JA on the Limestones Plains ,HZ by the River and Pearl of the South.
Almost forgot , the Cow Girl Best wishes to you all and I am waving my wand, Casting a spell for buckets of rain where ever its needed.Wattle on everyone lol
Marie from Bathurst

Evening all.


Lew, huge thanks for the calendar, its hanging in a special place, behind the dunny door........no, its hanging in the kitchen on the freezer for the girls to write their shifts on.......

work is still sh**y, looks like the boss did;nt sell the business and now is acting like a *@*#*^@ because he didnt, he's very moody, jovial one minute firing people the next...... just trying to hang in there and hope it gets better...

Mary, guess what........we might have found a builder....I know you've heard that one before however this time its looking ok, its a kit home and plenty of work for us to do, but thats nothing new for us....will keep you posted.

time for bed, early nights when I have to start at 6.

nite all
sleep well

love June (cowgirl)xo

And, being a doctor, I feel the need to knick the number :-))))

*races onto thread* Look out for that knee, Merley Pearly

Oh Merle, all the best ! All you can do is put yourself in the hands of the professionals, we will be thinking of you.

Not so hot here today, thank heavens, but more high 30's to come this weekend. The veg is swathed in green shadecloth, I picked all the tomatoes and hope to keep the plants going for a bit more cropping in March.

Lots of people still in town because of Country Basketball week - had a nice chat to a couple from Geraldton WA today!

DD17 is back from a beach sojourn and is doing some short shifts at the shop. Lost our promising young lass today (resigned) as her boyfriend dumped her and she cannot get childcare for her 2 yr old, she is having to go to family, which was not her wish to be dependent on them. Childcare is impossible to get locally for under 3's because of the Centre collapses, A mess. So I'm again looking for a worker

Better do some h....w - oh, and thanks to Tony's link, I found my English Nana and Pop in 1911, plus Gladys aged one, my Mum's elder sister who died at 9 yrs before Mum was born. I felt sad about Gladys, however I know where they are all buried so I plan to visit one day.

Have a nice evening everyone, ~~ Hz

Hi, just a qiick call to say I have to have the"tweek" after all. On Friday I Believe. Will get confirmation tomorrow, and have to show the xray of other knee to him then. Ah me. All the girls will be in Perth for a wedding so will have to find a home for casey for the night. Catcha later Luv Me

hello all - HOT today!

I was away last week and only just catching up now. Glad you are having a nice break Lara, and hope the Dr is happy with you Merle!!
HZ - that is a very descriptive word :) Must see what I can do.

Have been doing a FH photobook and am almost finished - very pleased with it too. Can't wait to get it printed. :)

Hi everyone.. We have a lovely day today but we need rain..

Merle Crikey girl... get back to bed and rest that knee...what is it with knees..they never go quietly..You and Mike are a great pair..do hope the specialist fixes it up and you are back on ya feet..get this one fixed up first before you do the other one..You want at least one good leg to walk on..We are all still here so we haven't won lotto.. lol..We would have all packed our bags and off to the UK by now if we had won...hee hee hee..Take care and BIG HUGS..xxxx

June I have already found a few people on the 1911 census, without having to pay out yet..But taking my chances and ordering a certificate ..Just might be in luck..

We had a big power outage yesterday and when we woke up at 6am there was no power and it didn't come back on till around 9.30 that night..Its amazing what you can find to eat when you have to eat something cold ,,but we did ok.. Missed my tea and coffee though..9000 homes were without power, as something went bung and it took them all day to reroute power from other grids so that we could have some power..Tonight they turned out power off for about 30 minutes while they fixed it or replaced the broken bit and now we hope we are not gonna have that problem again..

Well am off to bed..Sleep tight all and hugs for all that need them

Love Mary xxxx

Hi people. I guess we didn't win the lotto. Not that I've checked mine yet.I'm sure you lot did. Will do it tomorrow. I'm allowed out!!!!!!!!!!
Went A over T new years morning making my bed and you can no doubt work out what I landed on so back to hospital at home and too upset about it to tell anyone.As with the other earlier fall, it actually improved my walking but I'd much rather they did the manipulating under anaesthetic!. I see the specialist tomorrow evening and we'll see what he has to say.May still have to have it "tweeked".Also have to ask about the other knee and get on the waiting list for that so it doesn't get as bad as the other one. Better see to it in case the slowly closing heart valve causes them t o think again. I've only read a few pages and I know I've missed a lot of goings on but I sincerely hope your 2009 started a damned sight better than mine. Can't we just skip over to 2010 now? On second thoughts better not.. Hi Doc Lew, what a lovely calendar. Thank you.
Catch you sooner rather than later, Luv Me

HI everyone -Got your typing fingers ready -1911 census released tomorrow!!! Yippee!!!!!

Hope there is not too much of a traffic jam, although, I suppose that is too much to hope for. Good luck, everyone.

Cheers, June in Batemans Bay.

Arvo..:>))

Happy New year to everyone for 2009.

Bit quite on the work front, as peeps are on holidays.
In between working and F.H we are doing up the front of our property, so keeping me busy ......and fit...lol
Vege patch is supplying lots of summer vegies this year so far,and as we are not to far into the really hot days yet, things are surviving.

Hope everyone is fit and well, and if not, then can only wish positive thoughts for all who are not 100%....and a better 2009 for you.

Tony...:>))

HI everyone Hope you are all enjoying a nice Sunday..

~~~~~ to all, I'm here Mary, finally it's very hot here today so had
to give the garden a good drink. Have started "bandicooting" the
spuds - didn't ever know what that was till last weekend reading
the paper in the garden section ! It means stealing the big spuds out from under the plants, leaving the little ones and the plant to grow on. Now I've learned it, I've managed to use the term fivetimes in four days LOL , show off, me !!

Second evening at the household paperwork tonight, keep getting sidetracked as I uncover "stuff" - but DID find a Bags Plus voucher and an Angus and Rob voucher from my last birthday that I had entirely forgotten about ..... in the bottom of my handbag, (blush).

Oops, cat wants attention, she loves sitting right on top of whatever I have spread all over, then she rof laughs at me !

Keep well and happy all, Hz
