Hi my Flakey friend......I'm with you, comfort is more important to me than impressing someone. All the money spent on those fashions and they probably wont be worn again! TX

Mornin' Wattlers from a very damp GC. We've had more rain overnight and it's now reduced to a light drizzle. UPDATE....it's now PPPPPing down! I've done my best dance to the rain gods and asked them nicely to send some to WW and Mudgee....and other parched areas. Fingers xxx'd this does the trick. Hz..what a wonderful thing to see....the heavens brought right into your own backyard, so to speak. Never let an oportunity slip by to experience the wonders of nature. Mary....maybe you should head out again to see if you can find a nugget too! They must be out there somewhere. L'oz....is this a business trip for TLR or just a Xmas shopping trip...heee heeee Well I have a mouth like the bottom of cocky's cage at the moment so I think I'd better get my self something more to drink. Have a great day my wonderful Wattlers...I'll see ya later. Hugz Trifley X

Morning Wattlers a beautiful day for Oaks Day in Melb today. Just as well for those who believe that fashion comes before comfort. Did you see all the fools wearing hardly anything on cup day when the wind chill was 6degs. Maybe I'm just getting old, to me you can be fashionable and warm at the same time. Mary, why didnt you find that big nugget and be on the tellie? ~~~ to everyone , especially Trifley and Ducky Have to get back to work. Back later Flakey

Good Morning wattlers, Grey skies and drizzle for my part of the Gong at the moment. Haz that would have been so good watching that in the skies. Mary did you watch Sunrise this morning(tv Show) they showed a man had found a gold nuggett worth $25,000 just doing what you do with the gold detector. Laurie have a safe trip tomorrow, yes your right where has thisyear gone, you know what they say, the older you get the quicker the time goes. Hope the rain is getting everywhere it should ((((((((((((((( to all who are feeling not the best))))))))))))) ~~~~~~~~~~ to all the wattles have a great day what ever you are dong~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cheers Luv Sandra

Hi everyone, beautiful morning. Have just been to see Mercury crossing the face of the sun courtesy of local astronomy society who have set up four telescopes near the town library with a general invitation for anyone to have a look. Can see sunspots and solar flares, and the tiny little disc of Mercury passing by!! DD15 was rapt to see a solar flare actually happen. (Warning don't look at the sun directly, no hope of seeing it, must have equipment) Nice to see quite a few school kids having a look. Have a lovely day all, I'll be back later ~~~~~~~ Hz

Goodmorning Wattlers . . . Only 46 sleeps till Santa comes !!! The Dark clouds overhead, and the clear horizon made for a beautiful sky this morning as the sun rose. We had a heavily laden container ship leave at about 6.30am, and the tugs are on standby out at the heads at the moment - obviously waiting an arrival. Four giraffes stand with necks extended - reaching for the sky, but I guess with the new arrival at the docks imminent a few of them are going to be put to work before too long! TLR has to go to Jakarta week after next . . . and wouldn't you know it - thats when I have to be up home for the new roof . . . Ah well, guess it will be a few less days he has to fend for himself - just means he is going to have a long shopping list. We're off to WW tomorrow . . so going to have a lovely family weekend. Shake up the town a little with Oni . . lots of laughing and mayhem !!! Hopeing to snaggle a few heavy clouds and take them out with me. Heather - when does DD finish her exams - twill be a great relief for the household when that day looms. Nice to see so many of you getting more FH results, lots being added to trees by the sound of it. Wouldn't you know that Lew would pick the winner in the cup . . . you know something . . . we had a little funny sweepy thing on msn between Lew, SuzyQ, Duckers and myself . . . guess who ended up with 1st, 2nd and the last past the post as well !!! Darn Lewcrella . . . not only classy . . . but arsey as well!!! Re Trifley being the Queen of rain . . . ** I went to visit her at home a few months ago - drought everywhere else . . . . raining a treat at her house ** The Queen goes to visit Anna in drought striken Toowoomba . . . . the heavens open up ** Lew & Terry carting water to give their plants a drink . . . the Queen tells us how she cant use the hose because its raining !! I rest my case !!!! Does anyone know what happened to this year . . . I had it all big and new in my basket just a short time ago . . . and now its nearly all gone! I'm sure the polies have worked out a way to make them go quicker so they can get more tax out of us!!! Must get on with things that dont get done by themselves - Bazza not much help around the house, but he sure makes a good security guard at the balcoonie door . . . Have a great day luv Laurie

Night all Had lovely rain - about 40mls and some hail but not destructive. Hope it goes South soon Love Anna

Clever Chook Lew .. lol Long may she rain! Jood

Me thinks, Heather, that it's something our Queen does very well. Reigns over all of us! pmsl

O Majestic One, can you be asking the Gods to also send the rains to Mudgee, so that all will look green and perfect for the February Meet. It's only 3 months away, you know! Lew Lew xxx

Crunch, crunch on a pearl onion.....washed down with a Martoonie! Ah....life....wonderful! L'oz....now Chrissy pressies mean CHRISSY time. No opening that untill the 25th Dec! I've done a bit of a dance and pointed the rain clouds towards West Wyalong. I hope they do the right thing! It's still raining here.... the gods are being most kind. Hugz Trifley X

Your right most gracious 'Queen of the Rainstorms' (need you to come west with me) Dont want what little time I have with the Sis to be arguments over the puter . . . teeheee Hope the rain is falling in the right places up there . . .and send some south west please FORGOT TO TELL EVERYONE . . . GOT MY FIRST CHRISSY CARD (& PRESSIE) TODAY . . . . from g/f in UK . . . Not suppose to open till Christmas . . . . . . . luv Laurie

You are NOT gonna believe this......the first time I'm allowed to water my pot plants by hose and it's PPPPPPPPPPPPPing down. We had a huge thunder storm go through about 3pm and with it came LOTS of rain......but no hail (thank the gods). And it's still coming down! I guess I don't have to hose my plants today :) L'oz....what a great idea for your sister. She will learn quicker from a stranger than she would from you and she'll be proficent in no time. Yvette....loved the pickle of your 'other' man. You should put him out this year. I'm off to stand at the window and enjoy the rain. See ya Hugz Trifley X

Hi Lew Good for you girl I feel a shopping trip comming on... Hope our Queensland mob are not getting the terrible storms that are rageing around Brisbane. It looks pretty heavy so stay indoors and if puter is on unplug it from the wall. Back Later Love Mary xxx

Morning Wattlers, or what's left of it. Well this Princess had a successful day yesterday. My $5 investment returned $84. Gotta be happy with that. Sunny in Mudgee town today, but not real hot. If it warms up later, might just have a little swim. Thinking of you Trifles. Hope you won't have to spend too much time on the throne this time. ~~~waves to all~~~ HRH Lew Lew xxx

Morning all. Another dull day here today , Not much rain, just enough to keep things damp. Shazz Sorry I cant come and sit in the gutter with you on the 9th. Will be sitting in a restaurant having lunch with the Canberra mob. We will be thinking of you while we sip our chardy,,,lol Just a quick visit but back later.. Love to all Mary xxx

awwww chrissy lights. we like looking at everybodies and are the worlds biggest critics, but we never put them up. told you before how bad I am with christmas birthdays etc, but all of a sudden something comes over me and bang - i do something totally against the grain. the library exhibits look like a good school holiday excursion. sending you a pic of this bloke who spent 3 weeks in my front yard 3 years ago. 2 youngest kiddies, are much bigger now. might take a leaf from joods book and do some tidying. love Yvette

Yeah . . . looks great doesn't it Yvette . . . saw a report on it on the news too . . A MUST SEE !!!! luv Laurie
