Good night, Posh xx

Sue xx

Good morning / evening to one and all

This thread is becoming so popular that it is difficult to remember all the names!

Tec, I hope that your OH is feeling better.

The forecast overnight storms didn't eventuate but very windy at the moment

Regards

Allan

Good Morning Aussies
Good Evening Poms,

Thank you Sue and Allan for your kind good wishes to my OH, She is a little better this evening thank you - especially after eating dinner that I concocted - not exactly cordon bleu, but edible.

Enjoy your day Sue in your Mothers garden - I treated myself to some blue agapanthus plants while I was away, high hopes for them. The magnolia in my garden is blooming for the second time this year.

Allan .....That joke was beyond the pale.....where do you get them? I know some blonde jokes - but not knowing who on here is blonde, maybe I should keep them to myself. Coward!

Colin.........SueMaid knows I'm a pussycat really - and would probably laugh at Allan and I ganging up on her. I'm sure she doesn't mind me giving Allan moral support when he's out on a limb.
Although I am still thinking about being described as a giggling school girl!!

Regards
Tec.

G'day Tec

I cook but it is normally cordon spew!

that joke was sent via email by one of the most vivacious American women that it has been my pleasure to meet.

She is a local lady who works for the Department of the Environment in Bunbury. I've known her for approx 23 years. She is extremely helpful and is 100% personality.

All my male coleagues say the same thing, and lest any posters on here get the wrong idea, she is also of our vintage. She is also short, about 5' but her partner, who I have also known for 20 years makes up for that by being about 6' 6"...and that's just across his shoulders!

Hello Everyone,

Once again I haven't been around for ages. It's a really nice sunny morning here today. Cold inside though, my right hand it freezing from sitting on the mouse. Once I finish playing about here I might have to go and get some sun.

Allan, do you have joke book or just a really good memory?

Alison

Good Morning Allan,

Good thing the storms passed you by..........

My SIL lives in Hong Kong - she was lucky to have missed the typhoon that hit Taiwan and Eastern China

What time is it in WA? i WILL GET MY HEAD AROUND IT EVENTUALLY

Regards
Tec

Hello Tec,

I'm sure that Allan will reply to this himself too but I thought I'd share the exciting news with you that in NSW it's about 8.35am. WA is two hours behind us.

Alison

6.35 am Tec

7 hours ahead of UK

2hrs behind eastern states

And then there's South Australia.

Wait till September when all the times get adjusted again (except WA and I think Queeensland)

We all need three watches just to keep up!

Hi Alison,

Some would say that WA is 20 years behind the rest of the world!!

Good Morning Alison,

Thank you for sorting that out for me - wow Allan must be an early riser

Why are you sitting on that mouse?........just wondered

Tec

Thanks for the book suggestions Colin. I'll try and track them down. Fiona

I'm not sitting on the mouse!!!! My right hand is on the computer mouse 'cause that's the one I use to navigate but I suspect you already new that!! If it was a real mouse I was sitting on it would be well and truly squashed.

Alison

I am so pleased that in the UK it is the same time everywhere - must be very confusing, especially for busnesses in the various Aussie States

Hi Fiona - don't think we've met on a thread before.

Tec

Tec,

very early riser. If the weather is OK I'm normally up at 3.00am for a nice long walk and back home 5.30'ish.

If the weather is poor then I am normally up at 5.00am

As you can gather...I ain't night person

That's ok Alison......

just that I'm World President of the Mice Preservation Society

Tec.

Morning everyone. Another lovely day promised. Hopefully will get to 21 again. This is August, normally our coldest month with bad winds. No sign of any wind yet!

Allan is an early riser, Tec. He takes 3am walks - now I didn't say what our overnight temperatures are! Anything from 5 or 6 DOWN!!

Tec,

Imagine how it would be for business on the NSW QLD border. Tweed Heads is in NSW and Coolangatta in QLD and are literally side by side. NSW had daylight savings but QLD doesn't (clever people).

Also don't know if you know this but Broken Hill which is in NSW actually runs on South Australian time which is half an hour behind NSW. We are an interesting country.

Alison

P.S. Hello Berona, haven't talked to you for ages.

Allan.........

I can't imagine getting up at 3am and going for a walk - I am normally unconscious at that time.
Was up at six today, thought that was early..............

Tec

Excuse me for saying, but! all this talk every day about weather....I thought it was supposed to be us in the UK who keeps harping on about it, so have never really mentioned it so's not to bore the pants off everyone......but hey ho!...as you lot have already.......tis rotten hot here :-)))))...


.( for the UK anyway )

A very good evening to you Susan with numbers...any luck with grandad Clifford?

As most of us are ex poms anyway, the weather is a fascinating subject. At least people can't feel slighted by it and press the RR button!!

Regards

Allan
