Hi Jood I'm up early too - can hear the rain! So far we've had 30mls but it is going to clear soon. 30mls is wonderful - will help the garden along and more importantly give the farmers something to go on with. Trifley will ring me this morning and depending on the weather we'll decide what we're going to do today. Got some information from Chris's sister yesterday about their side of the family - she took notes from an aunt, now deceased, some years ago and it's been sitting in her cupboard! Lots of good leads to follow up - and some photos. There are actual dates for great grandparents and info about when they immigrated to Australia - wonderful stuff! Tony - you've lost me mate but you are obviously on a roll! As Jood says - the song says it all! Have a good day everyone. Love Anna

Morning Wattlers, Whew Tony, I got so confused reading all that - I think the song explained it better!! .. I'm amazed you sorted it all out tho!! I'm up early this morning, but why, I don't know. Have a great day all. Love Jood

hi jeff,mary and jood. glad to see you love your dawg jeff. my little one seelps with me also, but snores a bit less than OH. he (dog) has already gone to bed. I thought the cat would have snuck in today, does any body know where she is? well jeff, we aint got much rain, and there's no heat today (where i live anyway) Cricket tomorrow early and another lazy day ahead. did you read my mail Jood, is that OK? enjoy yourselves QLD-ing peeps. love to all, I'm going to bed Yvette x

Jeffster 9.30pm here - there should be a few wattlers around still. This year the drought has been even worse, famers having to cart water and food. Dam down to 40% of usual capacity. I hope this rains spreads out west, north and south. We have a few farming Wattlers among us. You've been let off cat watching duties tonight - I doubt we will get up to the top number. Actually Jeffster, I forgot - the Queenslanders are an hour behind us, so they should be around somewhere. Jood

G'day Wattlers Or evening I suppose it is now. Age is a state of mind as they say, but since I'm out of mine I'm not sure how old I am. Didn't realise you have been deprived of rain, I won't be so nasty as to take it from you then, but I would certainly appreciate some of your heat. The dog is a great help in bed but she tends to snore, just like being back with the OH. lol Ok - I'd better go and lok like I'm doing some work Catch u all before bed I hope ~~~~~~~~ to all

Hi everyone Have just had a lovely dinner in the restaurant in the clubhouse and am now feeling very nicely.Thought I might go to bed but looked at the time and it is to early. I would be up again around 2am so will wait a wee while. Tony Isnt it nice when you meet someone from the family.and a 3rd cousin is quite close. I have contacted a person who has part of my tree in hers and she is not happy to offer to let me see it.If I ask a question she might answer it but that is all. I have been doing another branch of my tree and trying to help a cousin but I dont get any reply from that quarter either.and its her family I have been search for. Never mind as long as I help others when I can I am happy.I have met 2 or 3 distand cousins and they have been great. Had a lovely day today doing FH as tomorrow I will be a bit busy as I have to take youngest GS to his swimming lessons. My water jerks were good this morning and I always feel a bit pooped afterwards which means that I had a good workout. Good luck with the lotto tomorrow.. Love Mary xxx

Hi all, dashing in, cause I'm dashing out, Re the Question SuzyQ, I have to admit I got it right, but was it because I answered it logically but not psychologically ? lol They are coming to take me away ha ha, psml. Be back later, luv to you all Jillxx

Waves to Trifles and Anna. Have a fun night, lol

I'm here! At Anna and Chris' of course! Had a good, safe drive from Montville and arrived at the motel in Toowoomba just before mid-day. Tried to get on to Anna but she had the phone glued to her ear trying to co-ordinate tradesmen for all her fried electrics. We've had a lovely afternoon tea with her and Chris and are now heading back to the motel for a quick freshen up before we come back here for dinner. And guess what......it's raining !!!!! Unfortunately their tank isn't hooked up yet but the rain is still doing their garden the world of good. I can't get on the net at the motel.....b****y phone is stronger than the last one......so I'm using Anna's. You should see the screen.....it's huge.....like a cinema screen! I can even see the words without my glasses! If we don't drink too much we might see you later tonight. Lots of hugz and love Trifley X
