Tassie Glad you are going ahead in leaps and bounds.. good for you..another one with writers cramp comming up,,lol Wilson Which is worse, farming or work, they both sound bad..lol Hope the harvest is good. b..er the h,,,k and have a rest, stay on the puta.. Having a quiet weekend and hope to do some FH, Thought I had found a good Hot Match in the latest lot but we must be connected somewhere but back further than I have gone yet.

Hope you are all having a nice day and Cilla I hope you are feeling a little better.. Back later Love Mary xxxx

Good Morning everyone, Lew when you get up today I hope all the smoke has cleared, it's not pleasant and I do hope the fires are out now. We have clear skies. I have NOT gone kayaking after all (wouldn't have minded a day but didn't really want to lose my entire weekend). DD15 has headed off, there are ten of them padding down towards Howlong and Rutherglen all equipped. The extra recruits are the two UK GAP students currently at her school the strapping young lad had a lot of outdoor experience. And the teacher is a white-water fanatic. They would have gone up to the Mitta below Dartmouth but it's too hairy atm for novices - next year. Today they are practising their water safety/rescue skills and 'rolling' !! Yesterday was Grandparents Day and DD got to be in Pipe band for the first time officially all dressed up, she's on tenor drum (kettle drum?), with much rushing to and fro from the shop we managed to see the warm-up and the afternoon performance, but not the marching. But they will be playing at the Carol Service next Sunday too. OH said he had a lump in the throat moment to see her twirling her sticks! So Proud! I'm about to check out Myer for Xmas inspiration, then have the house to myself for a few hours - want to search Historical Directories for a few coffee shops in Central London c 1860. Hope the snr schoolies weekend is progressing well, have a ball girls!! ~~~~~~~~~~ to all, Hz

Morning Wattlers Son has arrived to help with the harvest, so i don't have to go farming today. Yippeee!!! Do have to go to work, but at least it is out of the sun and smoke. Still very smokey. Hope everyone is feeling well. Time to do some H*******K, dragging self away from puta :-(( Take Care All Wilson

Morning Wattlers Lew I hope the smoke clears soon, good time to take a holiday to get away from it all, could make a surprise trip to Broadbeach haa haa. Oh no you've already done a surprise visit :-) I had a Hot Match yesterday that Mary knows about and I sent some info to them and I received 98 pages in Adobe with rellies :-) a lot are way off on a side branch but there was some dates and info that I didnt have, this is where I found my latest convict. I have sent another email asking if she has any info on him, and also his wife as she was only just under 14 when she married him and her first child was born just after she turned 15, it sounds young to be married and Im wondering if it was a way for George (Convict) to get his pardon to be a free man. Well must go as we have got our Chrissy parade today and Dannielle with the scouts are in it. Will catch you all later. Cheers Sue

Hi there Wattlers Have just sent Lotto numbers to Tony as didn't end up getting to newsagents until this morning.(sorry) Trust you are all well and getting ready for another hot day. My b-i-law out from UK for the Ashes won't be too pleased that the Aussies are off to such a good start. OH supports the aussies, so should be an interesting conversation between those two - currently somewhere down the south coast. Have a good weekend and catch up with you later. Have the house to myself all weekend so intend to actually sit and relax for a change (definitely no decorating this weekend) and have stocked up on tonic water for my Gin & Tonics. Lyn

Well here I am. It's 3.30 am and not a soul about the place, lol. Breathing in all this blasted smoke has made me have a coughing fit, so now I'm sat here in front of the computer with a cup of tea. Off to do some research. ~~~Waves to All~~~ HRH Dr Lew Lew *now where did I hide those blinking anti coughing pills*

Trifley did you really get a tattoo or is a tendy one you debil you , all of you better get those pickles to us quick we are all hanging here hehe and are not very patient sorry HR but you know we are all jealous as all heck of you lot and wish we all could be there together Its very quiet here tonight and I have been a busy girl and added about 100 people to my tree and have had contact with more of my Daniels through hot matches I believe I had two different branches of that family on my tree in the last 3 days. Hope all the fires are out or at least under control, we expecting about 38c here tomorrow, Hope all our not so well peeps get all better soon and also the OH's who don't feel good.

Hi All, well I rang those reprobates earlier, you know the Gold Coast ones, well I'm sorry to say, 'they were sober' what a let down, so I'm having to go down there tomorrow and rectify things. can't have them letting the Wattie side down. Cheers Jillx PS. Thanks for all the well wishes and healing hugs that you sent me this week, it really does help, small thing maybe to you just to type a few words of comfort, I've done it myself, but honestly, when you read those words they mean a hell of a lot. Thanks again, Jx

I hope you lot are behaving yourselves..up there in the GC... Is it champers first and martoonies second,,,,,I hope you have some food to go with the grog.. Dont forget the pickles...we want proof you was sober..or not,,lol Have fun . Love mary xxxx

OMG.....this dial-up is sooooo slow! Hi folks.....we've just knocked the top off the 2nd Champers. Supervised by Wattie Bear! Now, now....Lew.....you are only jealous 'cos you can't be here. I'm gonna get a nice pickle of my new Tattoo and send to you all. Probably not 'til Sunday as this dial up business is slow as a wet week! Off to get some more bickies and dip. Catch ya later Hugz Trifley X

que tassie, you speaking to me . i have miles and butler. off to bed, intense day of cricket ahead love yvette x

Well I hope the Gold Coast knows what hit it tonight.... All those geriatric deliquents running around drinking martoonies and singing tar,ra ra boom de ay, and acting like schoolies..Is anyone willing to bail them out if they get picked up by the cops.. NNNaaahhh let them sober up in the clink..... All this talk of convicts is making me depressed.. I dont have one but I do have a jial bird in Norfolk so I will have to be content with that. I am about to write to the Norwich archives to see if they can tell my what he was in jail for. Am feeling a bit tired tonight so will slowly wind down and eventually go to bed.. Lew Glad the fires are not near you,, When we lived in the other house we had fires up to our back fence twice and it was only the water in our pool that saved us.The firees used it to fight the fires. Sorry to hear that some of the OH are not well and also Cilla. You and John would make a good pair as we are trying to find out what is the matter with his legs and it is taking ages to find the reason. Back for more MRIs soon and hope this time they find something they can cure.. Love Mary xxx

oooh thank you very much, just what I need to get through the weekend, haa haa

Well, good, you haven't had time to get attached to him, pmsl Now here's all the brown and gold pills I promised. One semi load coming right up. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee HRH Dr Lew Lew xxx

Gee easy come easy go, he is the one I just found lol.

I'd hate to think what Anna is doing, lol. I think I'd like Butler please, Tassie

Welll it sounds tempting, ok what name do you think will fit into your tree, Chamley, Miles or Butler? What is Anna and the fifth oldie doing? We never got an update on those two.

its all very nice having convicts and other backgrounds that i'de rather not go into , but we tend to have the same genetic makeup continuing through generations. scallywags appear with constant regularity and they even get 'the look'. what is suprising is realising why you are the way you are. anyway, glenn's a legend!!!! the girls are surely outa control by now. happy hour and all that. on the tele a mo ago was a story abpout a scottish woman and an a qld er reuniting after being pen pals when they were 10. golly - a bit of tear flow at that. made me all homesick. i've never been homesick, coz i only lived in the uk for 6 years. love yvette

Mmmmmm, well how about brown and gold vertical strips, heeeeee. Just heard from Loz. Trifles has got a tatoo and the Duck is riding the carousel. And they haven't started drinking yet, pmsl HRH Dr Lew Lew xxx

oooh what colour pill can I have ???? have ta be something special I mean a convict is something everyone seems to want in their tree haa haa
