Well hello Wattlers, I'm finally back on line and back home! What an exhausting couple of weeks. Terry arrived home safely and brought me some lovely bling - pickles to follow. Flakey and I had a reasonable trip down to Sydney, subject to the usual traffic jams, but I managed to get her to the airport one hour before her flight. Sounds like she had a few delays, so I hope she wasn't too lonely. Probably glad to have a bit of peace and quiet after the weekend, lol. And what a weekend it was. Firstly, I'd like to thank Laurie and Ray for the supply of gorgeous fresh prawns, fruit and vegetables straight from the markets. Also the wonderful slices Princess Loz made with her own fair hands. Ray and Rob manned the bbq and did a fantastic job, whilst The Royal Consort excelled himself in the Martoonie department, lol. He and the Queen came suitablly attired, although I'm wondering what our local cabbies are thinking, heeee I'd also like to thank Flakey and Jood for performing their cleaning duties to my satisfaction (pmsl). No, really, thanks you two for all your help. Special mention to Tony for all the BDM disks he produced. It's going to keep me occupied for ages and must have taken him a long time to do. Thanks Mate. Thanks to the Duck for some of her Terry's wonderful shells. I have placed them around the spa bath and they look wonderful DIY once again proved what a clever little vegemite she is with the needle and thread by presenting me with a special dispensing apron (fit for a Royal Doctor!) and I'm sure that there are plenty of pickles floating around. Speaking of floating, yes I did manage to throw myself into the pool, but, hey, what the heck, I didn't care if no one else minded, pmsl. I confess that I didn't arise until after 10am on the Sunday morning, but I felt more than entitled to a little nap, lol And just finally, congratulations to our Princess Loz for winning the Straight Jacket Award. I can think of no one more fitting, PMSL. I see that in my internet absence that we have picked up a few new members. Please make yourselves known to me so that I can decide the appropriate medication to be dispensed!!! Love to you all HRH Dr Ice Princess

Morning all Duck and I arrived back in Toowoomba yesterday afternoon - left Mudgee at 7.45am and arrived home in Toowoomba 4.30pm Qld time. We gained an hour on the way back! Duck then went on to Bribie and I had a message from her around 8 last night that she was home safely also. Absolutely great weekend - so lovely to meet everyone. Thanks so much to everyone for the wonderful company and especially to Lew for her magnificent hospitality. What a perfect spot she has with beautiful hills all around. The Wattlers are going to start the Wattle retirement village in her top paddock! Terry hasn't been told yet! A million things to do today - will pop in later. Good to hear everyone is arriving home safely. BTW - who put all the empties in OUR rubbish bin at the cabin????? Made us look real bad! XX Anna PS It was me who bought the winning ticket - will check at the newsagent later.

JA thanks for the pickles, Rob must have held the record for the number of shots taken - everytime I turned around he was taking picks! Had a good nights sleep, but still tired this morning. I'm off out in just over an hour too, better get moving. Poor Barb, hope you get your phone back. I thought I left something behind too, but eventually found it.
