Back again - half my precious day gone already and just home. .. I was thinking girls, those of you who can meet me in Bendigo - even tho its not till some time in January, can you throw around a few dates (not the weekend)??? .. Wilson, Judes 2 & 3 plus Lara and perhaps JA?????? Plus anyone else who wants the fly/drive in .. pmsl. .. Anytime from 22 - 26 Jan I'm ready willing and able. (hee hee). Am suggesting same place if that's ok - unless anyone has some easier places to find without me getting lost. Mary you have had quite a bit of luck with your brick walls lately - isn't it about MY turn? :(( Jood

Morning All, Mary that's a lovely photo of your G.daughter, did she enjoy herself that night. Merle get back to bed this minute! you've got to get better for Christmas. Hugs to Trifley, hope today is a better one. I'm off to an auction off white goods. I'm hoping to pick up a washing machine for my son and dil 2b, it's going to be a house warming plus chrissie present for them. Have a great day and try to be good cause Santa's watching luv Jillx

I saw that report last night Tassie, also. They said there were only 2 deaths in Aust - one in the control group and one in the medicine group, and that was normally expected. But in the States, the death rate has been quite high in the medicine group and much lower in the control group. I'm glad your dad is ok. Mmmmmm raspberries. Our loganberries are ripe at the moment. Sluuuurp, slurp. :) out today - catch you tonight Vonny

Morning all. Another nice day.. Are we still waiting waiting Tony.. Hope Lew enjoyed the cricket yesterday,, it was so exciting.. Jood, Remember me telling you aboutthe g/father who changed his name, and me finding a connection who was researching the first name ,,,well we are connected and he was at a standstill on that name as he couldnt find the family under his name and didnt know about the father changing the surname, He is amazed and has given me info on the side of the family he is on and I have been able to fill him in on my side. Crazy hobbie this,, nearly as crazy as the ancestors we have..I still want to know why he changed his name after his first wife died and before he married his second wife.. Well off to have a shower,, May do some retail thereapy today so see ya later Love Mary xxxxxx

Good morning All Well we have a cloudy day today and have already had a couple of little showers, nothing to speak of though. I is going to warm up to 28 deg for Saturday, the day we have got our Chrissy Luncheon, pity Santa dressed up in his suit and all, glad its not me haa haa. Tamika's glands are up again, so it is off to the doc again today, which there was something thay can do instead of just antibiotics, seems like the tablets get rid of the inflamation for it to return a month or so later. When I was up at Mum and Dad's yesterday they mentioned that the program Dad was on to trial new heart drugs, had been cancelled, they had to go to the hospital and for him to be taken off the drug he was using straight away and be put back on Lipitor. I mentioned this to OH last night when he got home from work and he said he had heard a news report where where too many deaths from participants using the drugs, it is also in the paper today. they didnt mention that part of it. It really makes you sit back and count your blessing that Dad could have been one of the unlucky ones. I know they have to trial new medications, but at what cost?? Ok Im going to have to get off here and do some of the dreaded .......... as we have a big weekend here with a couple staying for our Chrissy Luncheon. Be popping back on my breaks. Cheers Sue

Morning Good ....... Wilsonlass. Uhmmmm don't know what time you wrote your message, but its dated the 5th, so I guess it was before midnight??? .. Its 6:20am here, I've been up since just before 6. Lots to do today - just hope my back doesn't play up so I can get a lot done. A still, coolish day here in the blue mountains, no blue sky and no sun - but anything could happen in the next few hours. Better get moving. Have a good day all. Love Jood

Hi All Am i up before Jood????? Well actually i havn't gone to bed yet lol.......nope not an all nighter...just working night shift this week. Beautiful sunrise i see, and some early bird is drifting past in a hot air balloon, they look sooo lovely. Ok got to go and do some more work. Take Care 'Wilsonlass', had to leave off the good king bit hehe

Teeheee . . . . was talking to Lew this afternoon . . . she had to go into the bathroom to talk to me because the cricket noises were too loud . . . teeheee Lew has 2 nights at McLaren Vale, then 1 night at Deniliquin then she will be home on Friday. Said she will have a fresh batch of pills for us when she gets home Now I rooly am saying nigh nite xoxox luv Laurie

Jood He he he he! Glad the raspberries cheered you up a bit Tassy. I don't think I've ever tasted fresh raspberries. I've had blue berries and I thought they were fairly tasteless. And blackberrries we used to pick when we were kids and make blackberry tart which was yum. Prunes - I like the big fat ones which already have the seeds taken out. I wonder if Lew was at the cricket today... she'd have been shouting and yelling and making a spectacle of herself for sure. Off to bed. Sleep tight everyone. Anna

*SIGH* .. It does help to put the batteries in the right way! .. My keyboard was doing funny things (it's cordless) - so turned it over, and sure enough - flat batteries! .. Ah well, all ok now. I just gotta tell ya's. .. I was at a friends place this evening, and she told me that the Sallies were coming to her street tonight, sure enough we saw them all in a little circle playing an assortment - well I don't know what they were playing really - trumpets I suppose - no little lasses with their timbrells and their black bonnets (they sadly don't wear them any more). .. Brings back childhood memories, I think I mentioned them just recently. Never tried tinned prunes Rudee, yuk - I always buy the loose stoneless ones you cook up yourself - yum .. lol Nite all (and Yvette, don't stay up all night .. lol) Forgot to tell you that Anna sent me a firie postcard, I'm not sure if they were taking their pants off or putting them on .. hahahaha. Relax They had shorts on as well!

Good evening Wafflers . . . Merle, so sorry you have been so unwell, sending you lots of healing thoughts and hugs. I had a big day at the dentist today . . . thank goodness I dont have to go back for a while . . . not my favourite place to visit. Sorry if I gave you wrong impression when talking on msn Lara . . . Marg and the boys wont be here with me untill next Monday. They left Jakarta today, but have gone up to Brisbane first before they come down to spend some time with me. Looking forward to time with the boys, they grow up so fast, can't believe they are 8 and 6 already..
