General Chat

All this talk of cats makes me quite sad for once a lovely Siamese I had But when we moved we left him with a friend and my broken heart did never mend Chairman Mao was the name we gave that cat it was the noise he made that made us choose that Don't let us dwell on times that are sad just think of the good times we have had

Well, my cat is now nineteen - going on three she doesn't realise she's elderly Xceptionally fit and bright eyed for all that but had diagnosis a severe murmur of the heart You'd never know, just to look at her when she's contented you can hear her purr! Zooms here and there as happy as a kitten but one day soon I guess she'll be smitten (I try not to think of that)

Used to have a cat called Monday she lived for 22 years Very sad I really was when she died I shed loads of tears....

So nice to hear from you Dorothy G. I love cats but can't have one you see The road outside has people who speed. its a terrible road, a nightmare indeed!

Oh, no, not for me those romps with the dog I'm afraid have never liked walking much it has to be said! Prefer to stroll down a beach, paddling in the sea But sadly at present I live well inland you see Quite like to do that when on holiday but not in the rain, snow or chill, not any day Really like cats, tho dogs are quie nice, except they bring pressies of birdies and mice!

Mind you, my dog looked at me and said 'mum! have you gone crazy?' Now we are back and he has rolled on the floor! The carpet is grubby but he is dry once more!

Knowing my dog loves a walk down the lane means I am just off to brave the rain. Lots of you know just how cold you can feel but when you love your dog, its no big deal!

I too Buttercup have walked a million miles across fields with my dog acknowledging smiles January to December rain hail and snow coat gloves and scarf off we go

Got home from park and then on the train was dashing about but now am home again How I love my walks in the park Dorothy G Cold or rainy is all the same to me:-)

Everyone here enjoys a good chatter whatever the topic, does not really matter Friends we become,as we sit here and type in our own world away from the hype

Again here we are at A and the start of another new day BC did you survive the cold? going for a walk, gosh you are bold! Couldn't do that everyday, I have a cat she's independent, thank goodness for that ! Doggies need walking, not one of my favourite things Much rather just stroll then have a go on the swings

Yikes, I've just noticed what the time is better get busy, dash round in a tizz Zipping here, and zapping there all day long, without a care

Under the quilt is where I want to be I'm feeling very tired today, you see Very soon I must start my chores then perhaps a trip outdoors Well a very fetching picture you paint BC I wish, I wish, I was there to see Xpect your doggy is looking puzzled mine often looks at me, befuddled

This morning is all cold and bright Off to park, I look a sight Longjohns on and thermal vest Balaclava, boots, and the rest My dog is laughing at my rigout She looks embarrassed and I look stout....lol

Right now all you Ozzie mates time for you shift so don't be late So did you all enjoy your day I think us poor souls have to wait till May

Opened a bottle of Aussie wine. I have to say it was really fine Poured myself a glass or two wish I could share it with you. Quite often I like to drink white but I had a bottle of red tonight.

Kangaroos leaping about in your head? think yourself lucky you didn't get zed! Love your rhymes Anna, just keep them coming we must all add when possible and keep this thread going! Must off to bed now, just as you've got here sorry about that, you could pour another beer? Not just at the moment, do I hear you say Ah well, tomorrow is another day!

Fun and games are in the past Australia Day has breathed its last Gosh! we've all got aching heads as we crawl reluctantly from our beds Hi Dorothy - in answer to your quest check Anthony's post - he tells it best Indeed, the first fleet came here on this date on the 26th of January, 1788. Just ignore the scan - an abomination! but I couldn't fit in all the information!

Eggs on offer , did I hear miss out on a free one, never fear

A line here Dee and everyone to let you know had a lovely sunny day and no threatened snow Biting wind though, kept it chill so went to the shop just down the hill Cream Eggs I bought and after my tea I ate one then - now one going free! Don't all rush at once, just form a queue otherwise the other one will be mine too!!
