Hey Jood - Tony's talented but he's no Austen Tayshus. I've just printed that off for my daughter cos she thinks it's pretty cool - not bad for someone who doesn't like 'old' things. Catch ya all later - working my little socks off for the next 4 weeks so won't be around too much All the sickies - get well (((((hugs))))) for you all Tassie - does your state know we're heading into summer - heard Hobart could get snow on the mountains tamurra - lol Hi and big ~~~~~~~~ to everyone including Waggy & Jeffster (love the name) Gwenda

lol..Vonny. Just so you know mate, It wasnt written by me..lol But it is one of my favourite peices of Australian literature. Tony Oz... ;>)))

Wow Tony - that was egg-sellent! .. Where do ya find these, or didya make it up?? I'm copying it too. Jood

applause for Tony :) Good one, mate. Just copying it to send out :)

Ivning Wattlers. So Jilly wants to learn Ozzie lingo Laurie...:>))) Hope this helps. Sittin' at home last Sunday mornin' me mate Boomerrang Said he was havin' a few people around for a barbie, Said he might Kookaburra or two. I said, 'Sounds great, will Wallaby there?' He said 'Yeah and Vegemite come too'. So I said to the wife 'Do you wanna Goanna?'. She said 'I'll go if Dingos'. So I said 'Wattle we do about Nulla?' He said 'Nullabors me to tears, leave him at home.' We got to the party about two and walked straight out the kitchen to put some booze in the fridge. And you wouldn't believe it, there's Boomer's wife Warra sittin there tryin to Platypus! Now, I don't like to speak Illawarra, but I was shocked, I mean how much can a Koala bear. So I grabbed a beer, flashed me Wangarratta and went out and joined the party. Pretty soon Ayers Rocks in and things really started jumpin'. This Indian girl, Marsu, turns up, dying to go to the toilet but she couldn't find it. I said to me mate Al, 'Hey, where can Marsupial?' He said 'She can go outback with the fellas, she's probably seen a cockatoo'. Well just then Warra comes out of the kitchen with a few drinks for everybody. Fairdinkum, you've never seen a Coolabah maid. I grabbed a beer and said, 'Thanks Warra - tah'. A couple of Queenslanders were at the party, one smellin' pretty strongly of aftershave. One of 'em sat down next to me and I turned to him and I said, 'Ya know mate, Eureka Stockade!' It was a really hot day; Oscar felt like a swim. He said to Ina, 'Do you want a have a dip in the Riverina?' She said 'I haven't got my Kosciusko'. Well Bo says, 'Come in starkers, Wattle they care!' Ina says 'What, without so much as a Thredbo?' Ah, Perisher thought! Has Eucumbine in yet? Well a few of the blokes decided to play some cricket. Boomer says 'Why doesn't Wombat?' 'Yeah, and let Tenterfield'. He said I should have a bowl but I was too out of it to play cricket so I suggested a game of cards. I said to Lyptus 'Wanna game of Eucalyptus?' He said 'There's no point mate, Darwins everytime.' Well Bill said he'd like a smoke. Nobody knew where the dope was stashed. I said 'I think Merinos.' But I was just spinning a bit of a yarn. Barry pulls a joint out of his pocket. Bill says 'Great, Barrier Reefer, what is it mate?' 'Noosa Heads of course. Me mate Adelaide 'em on me.' And it was a great joint too, Blue Mountains away and his Three Sisters. Well I thought I'd roll one meself, I said 'Chuck us the Tally Hobart'. He said 'They're out on the Laun, Ceston, can you get em for us?' Burnie says 'Its okay mate, she's apples, I'll get em for ya' Just then Alice Springs into action, starts to pack Billabong. And you wouldn't believe it, the bongs broken. I said 'Lord Howe!' 'Hay-man' somebody says 'Will a Didgeridoo?' I said 'Hummmmm mummmm mummmmm mummmmm maybe it'll have ta.' I look in the corner and there's Bass sittin there, not getting into it, not getting out of it, I said 'What, is Bass Strait or somthin?' Boomer says 'As a matter a fact mate, he's a cop' I said 'Ya jokin mate, a cop, I'm getting outta here, lets Goanna.' She said 'No way, I'm hangin round till Gum leaves. Besides, I dont wanna leave Jacardanda party on his own. Have you seen him? I think he's trying to crack on Toowoomba, he's already tried to Mount Isa And he'll definitely try to lead you Australiana!' Time for a Tablet.....:>)) Tony Oz

~~~~~~ To Everyone I can not even start to read what has been happening since I have had a bit of time off from the computer. You lot are quite the chatters. I decided to take some time off, I did feel like I was starting to get a bit addicted to it. The only way was to go cold turkey lol just to show myself that yes I am still in control !!!! LOL I hope the sickies are feeling good a little better this evening, I hope you are not taking too many of those pills !!!!! Mel

Ah - yeah the flyspray- definitely need that - dunno what it is about me but i've obviously tasty. As for the tinnies - i'll save them for later, still a bit early yet

b***dy@$#% cat! .. I knew she'd do it!!! .. I was quietly doing other things, in fact I was having a little cry, had been watching 'The Australian Story' (a repeat, my girls tell me, as one of them saw it the other night) .. Bindi was in it, Terry & Steve's manager. .. Bindi is sooo lovely. .. She looks like my grand-daughter around the eyes, tho my gd has no-where near the confidence Bindi has, which is sooo natural by the way. Lovely your description of aquarobics Mary - water jerks!! .. lol Jeffster, if ya putting ya thongs on for a bbq, don't forget the tinnie (beer) - and the fly spray. Sandra, lucky you - hope you enjoy, I'm sure you will. One more category Vonny - I'm a nan, not a nanny, nanna, grandma, or a banana. Jood

hello all :) ~~~~~~~~ to nanna's, wanna-be nannas, adopted nannas, those married to nannas and to all the ba-nanas left over :) pmsl (chose your own catagory) Finally come to the end of a hectic few days. Looking forward to relaxing tonight before going away for the weekend. That's right, this weekend is the boating weekend in Gosford at Brisbane Waters that is the trade off for attending Mudgee!! We are taking the smaller boat that we had at Yarrawonga. Talking about Yarrawonga - do you reckon there will be any water next March, Lara?? **Hz - John is over the moon with the maps of the Murray that you sent. So thoughtful of you. Thanks heaps and also for the newspaper + articles + CD. very interesting reading someone else's daily news!! Got to go and get dinner ready but will be back later :) Vonny CAT!!!!!! we're eating dinner!! CUWL

After all what's a cat to do when people keep leaving numbers lying around ;-)

Ok, I can't wait around any longer.

Night Mary, sweet dreams :-)

Hi everryone Glad this site is back to normal as it was driving me crazy.. Had a busy day today as after my brother left we had a quick lunch and I went off to Manly Hospital to visit my old neighbour who lived next door to us at the old house.. She is a very frail 80 odd and will be in for another week at least.Then did some food shopping on the way home and after a bit of a rest got tea. Tomorrow morning I have my water jerks and then I will have a lovely restful day, and do some FH. Was going to the opening of the new super Home center but brother on his way here said there were cars everywhere so I decided to give it a miss. I am so tired after all that I will call it a day and see ya all tamurra. Have a good one.. Love to all Love Mary xxxxx

You too :-) I won't be around for too long though, I'll have to get something done today lol

~~~~~~ to Cat Good to see you around still
