Evening Wattlers. Well so much for that warm weather. I've just had a hot shower, am in the flannelette pjs, dressing gown, ug slippers, air con on 23C and roast beef and hot vegies for dinner. I was planning a salad!! Outside temp 11C and falling. Definitely an early night tucked up in bed with the tv and the laptop, lol. Great to hear from you your Majesty. The printheth and I have tried our hardest to keep this rowdy lot in line, but I think a visit from Nefer and the boys is in order. A couple of beheadings wouldn't go astray either!!! MERLE! Have you not followed my specific instructions, lol. We're waiting to hear from you. Waves to All HRH Dr Lew Lew xxx

Hi Wattlers, No snow in my part of Canberra but b****y cold all the same. Only 7 degrees although that was up from 3 during the arvo - not that I'm complaining - I'd rather it be cold than too hot High stress level at work today cos there was a glich with the pay and I was copping abuse for something beyond my control - not happy jan. Joodles - congrats on sneaking a number Trifley - glad you're feeling better today - always thinking of you when you're not around Ducky - hope you're okay too - just take each day as it comes Fanny - good luck with the job - hope you get one you really want although you sound like you're enjoying yourself at home Melbun v Sydney - gotta be Melbun. Sydney v NY - NY (defo safer) Tony - bad luck about the tommies - enjoy your trip to Bunnings JA - loved the piccles Hi to all the Wattlers not feeling 100% and ~~~~~~~ to everyone I haven't mentioned~~~~~~~~ Stay warm, catch y'all later Gwenda

Hi everyone, OMG the weather, I wrote a post today at work then got interrrrupted by a visitor, I'll post it tomorrow, just got time now to read a bit while DD15 is at band practice. Glad you're back Trifley, think of you often, also Ducky, mwah to all under the weather, (ha ha) oh the winds of November it's wild out there, we had nice rain the other day (Lara's storm), Ok gotta hit the kitchen and see the news/weather - first night for a while without teenagers everywhere, since exams finished there's been something every day/night - wouldn't have it any other way though, take care everyone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hz

Hi all I'm still here - have been a bit pre-occupied. Chris had to have a bit of surgery done but is OK. I've been having bad lower back pain and have been seeing the physio regularly for the past few weeks and have all these horrible exercises to do to 'strengthen my muscles'. Had to have an Xray today and I snuck a look at the report and it says I have disc degeneration in the lower lumbar spine so we'll see what they can do about that when I go back to the physio tomorrow. Just had an email from a friend in Melbourne with pictures attached of ice in his back yard at 3.30 this afternoon! What crazy weather. Sorry to hear about your tomatoes Fanny and Tony - hope everyone else escaped without any damage. We've had absolutely not a drop here - just humid hot conditions. Waves to everyone - great to see you back on deck dear Queen. Hope you've managed to get through the storms Laurie. XX Anna

Just for the record...it's snowing in Ballarat..lol singing: I'm dreaming of a White Xmas...la la la,...hee hee Tony Oz...:>)))

Hi Trifley, you snuck in under me, glad you're feeling better luv Jillx

Hi All, well after saying that we were having high temps here, the storm came over, I was just leaving to go to the bank when the biggest crack of thunder happened, poor Bazil nearly fainted so I had to stay till it passed. No hail but lots of lovely rain, did someone say the Gold Coast got hail? I hope you're okay Trifley, and no damage. Sun's out again now and it's a beautiful afternoon, all cool and fresh. Good news about the job Yvette, I think lol Jillx

Just drove home through Sleet and there is ice everywhere on the ground. Not hail - soft. They reckon it is snowing around Canberra - I think I'll start a fire!!! * but in my fireplace* Got to go and do craft at Kid's Club. maybe they will all stay home, it is soooooo cold! Vonny

its quite handy having the roudy weather update from down south. prepares us up here. I hate hail, the best lot of tomatoes I ever grew(maybe not THE best) all different colours and heritage types, looked after them sooo well, got done in by hail, but my basil bushes survived. Have put the guinea pigs away so they're not 'done in' I've never been to Melbourne, but my eldest son loves it. hes off to watch the boxing day test down there. yvette x

Oooooo'h..A Melbin V's Syderly debate...lol Sorry.....aint gunna touch that with a forty foot pole.....hee hee It's been going on since Moses played full back for Jerusalem. Its all media c....c...cr...cra....Ummm... hype to me. Both City's/States are cheese n' chalk, and Iv'e ( me ) always looked at Sydney as the London of England, and Melbourne as the Edinburgh of Scotland. Sydney has the beauty, Melbourne has the heart. Sue ( Tassie ) Am surprised to hear you say there is a rivaly between North and South in Tas,....Love the bit about shut the gate....pmsl Turning the heating up to 23c....and just checked me Tomato seedlings...:>(((( which are nearly stripped of leaves...cos the hailstones this arvo..ripped the crappers outa e'm.
