G'morning all, Jood your pics are wonderful! Thanks for showing us what we missed! I would rather be there than here! The trifle sounded magnificent, is it the Wattlers signature dish now? Last night at about 7 pm the wind went whooosh and sent all our smoke off to Wagga, but this morning it's back again though not as severe. Anyone who wants to read a bit about the fires can google 'bordermail' (.)com. We have a bit of ash on the cars too. It only got to about 30 here yesterday though and so I'm hoping it stays cooler and the wind stays away. The house smells of smoke. Speech day yesterday so school is finished for DD15, I've got plenty for her to do if she gets bored however lol. Such a handy age now, a real help. Half our decorations are up, but today we'll do the tree proper in the lounge. OK I'd better get to work, will watch and wait for news from the new Gramps today! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~to all, Heather in Albury

Morning All Yes Im up early, gotta get all stuff packed in car and have breakky, shower and get to pick up other girls by 8.30. I might be on here briefly tonight if I can stay awake, not sure about tomorrow. Merle, I know what you mean about being away from everyone else in our group, but at least you dont have a stretch of water between you and the rest, I do :-(( and I havent heard of any other members from Tassie on here, or ones that like to chat at least. Tony, hope everything goes well today for Mum and Bubs. Mary have a good trip to Canberra, say hello to the others tomorrow for me. Thinking of all Vics and the terrible fires at the moment, it sound very bad. Davids parents live in the Gippsland area right out on the coast, but way down the bottom end of 90 mile beach, Prayers for all the firies and anyone in the affected area. Thanks for all the pickles, looks like you had a great time. Ok must go or others will be waiting for me. Cheers Sue

Well it looks like I am not the only one infected by the number crunching Cat so that makes me feel better..lol See ya all from Canberra tomorrow if I can get the g/daughters off the puta.. Love Mary xxxx

Where is everybody. Long time between drinks judging by the time on the last message. Hi y'all, I'm back on my feet for a while.Infection much better. Have sutures out tomorrow, most of the spots have gone but my skin is peeling off everywhere. Must have been some infection.All I have to do now is get .over the massive antibiotics. Start physio next week for the knee to try and keep it going till after chrissie. Himself has been wonderful as usual but he's very tired and grey looking in the face on account of the carer had to be cared for by the caree. Silver chain conspicuous by their absence.Whats new. Best wishes for mum and babe tomorrow, feel quite excited, and I see 'sir tones'.is still walking the floor. Glad the day went well says she gritting teeth in jealous rage.
