Tony, you are a cheeky bu****er. My little girl is having a birthday today also. She is 29 (yea, she is still my little girl). Will have to ring her tonight as it is still the 26th in USA at the moment. Pam

Oooooh Tony you do give Barb a hard time - does she give as good as she gets? .. pmsl Thanks mate for trying so hard to make the picture a good one. .. I sure do give you some difficult ones! .. But I appreciate it. You just wouldnt believe how cold it is here in the Blue Mountains (and in Mudgee town also) - I'm thinking of putting the heater on. ~~~~~~ to distant rellies on their way home to Bathurst. brrrrrr .. think I'll have some lunch and try and warm up. Jood

You cheeky blighter, Tony, lol. I hope Barb gives you a smack for that!!!! Lew Lew

Av a good un Tony Oz..:>)))

Back again, family have headed back to Bathurst - was lovely to have them here, lots of snuggles and sniffers (dont you just love the smell of baby hair). Nah Joodles, not practising to be a granny . . . just a 'grandaunt'. The other two boys have been great entertainment too! Poor little supermummy is very worried about her little smurf, he is thriving, but that they dont know what is causing the trubs is very worrying for her. Sandra I spotted you . . . now I know what you were up to it makes sense. I have Princess in christian name and Laurie in surname - before I was a princess I just had the last lot of bling in the surname slot. Next visitors arrive tomorrow, Ray's uncle from Melbourne returning from Grey Army winter posting up north. But that will just be meals, think they said they had booked the van into a park down at Sylvania. Then on Thursday Amanda (the bride of earlier in the month up in Bris) arrives, she has an exam in city on Friday, and is hanging around to spend the weekend with us. Only having one son for the weekend now, Glen and his girlfriend Narelle are going to use the Grand Final tickets with Ray, Paul can't manage it with early meetings at work on Monday morning. No seats available on planes back to Bris on Monday morning early . . . . wonder why ??? Glen and Nell will be here from Friday night till Tuesday night, so that will be fun. Lew, I got the long sleeves out again this morning, sad after the beautiful days we have been having. Only a little hickup I'm sure you will be back in the pool before you know it. Got heaps of linen to push through the washing machine so best go change the load, catch you all later luv Laurie

AAHHH SYDNEY... BEAUTIFUL ONE DAY AND NO FROST THE NEXT... Love Mary xxx

Hello Sylvia, welcome to the mad house. Mary I didn't get that email but I keep getting emails from all different names but with the PHAR and MCY in the subject title and different letters in between the two. They go to my bulk folder and I just delete them whithout even opening. Jood, Brissy ain't perfect today. Had a shower last night and today is cloudy - no blue sky.........Just wish it would p******* down with rain, put some water back into our dams and water my roses. Lew, hope you got a bus big enough to take the wafflers on tour. Need a big cargo hold to carry all the loot home !!!!!!! Laurie, hope little blue smurf is okay. Give him lots and lots of cuddles. How ya going, Ging Gong - ooops I mean Sandra in the Gong. Coffee calling, be back later Pam

Lucky you, Mary. It's actually getting colder here!!! Out come the winter woollies again. So much for the swimming, brrrrrrr

Summer clobber on the north shore Mary - I'm about to put a jumper on :( Mary you did well to ignore the email - not worth the risk. Yeah Lew, hot one day, cold the next, sort of like Brisbane sunshine one day beautiful the next - wellllllllllll - sort of ! Jood

Hi Wattlers.. A bit overcast today but no rain. Quite mild and summer clobber is requied.. Laurie Have a big hug for me you lucky girl..Hope bubs checkup goes OK.. Sylvia..Welcome to the Wattlers We dont mind if you come from London..My mother was born there, A real cockney , born within the sounds of Bow Bells..and she was wonderful... Sandra Do you want to change your board name..??? I got a real funny email today from a Charlie Joyce and it seemed to come from the USA in Vagas. Talking a whole lot of rubbish I couldnt understand so I quickly deleted it..Did any of you guys get it and if so did you make head or tail of it.. Did a compleat scan afterwards but nothing came up.. Dont like these funny things. It was a long email but after reading the top bit about reservations somewhere I deleted. They even spelt it wrongly.It didnt make any sense.. Must go and help OH do a little job so back later Love Mary xxx

Blasted cold here, too, Jood. What on earth is this weather doing??

Hawkeye here from the blue mountains (first chicken herder, now this ............. *hurt look* pmsl) Actually being a solicitor - I thought they were hawkeyes too lol Lew, I got all ready for 7am this morning - and no-one turned up. .. He rang later to say he had another appt, and would come tonight. I dont mind a) - the garage door is open and I can go out if I want and b) - it's too cold to go anywhere, I was supposed to go to the races at Richmond, but friend rang and said wrong day - its at that other place over near Liverpool - so I figure its a nice day to stay home and do some family history !! <Oh, Warwick Farm, I meant> Think Laurie is practising to be a grandmother, but she may have to have refresher courses from time to time, eh Laurie? Jood

Ah yes, old hawkeye doesn't miss a trick, does she! How's the garage door Jood? Ooo, Laurie, playing with baby Ben. How exciting. Lew Lewx

lol Lew, I thought I would change my name to the Gong lady just for a change but it said I still had to put my birth name in and that came out on the message header so quickly changed it before anyone saw it ( but Jood spotted it ) lol Sandra

As a matter of fact Sandra, I thought you were giving yourself a title - like Gong something (I cant remember what you wrote now) And I was just being funny :( Jood

Good Heavens Sandra, what are you prattling on about? lol

Morning Wattlers, Jood I just deleted that as I never changed my name before and my birth name was cock now everyone knows. and i never expected it to come up on the message ( how embarrasing) so what did I do wrong ? can you tell me? I thought I was being so clever this morning.lol sandra

Sandra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im surprised at you !!!!! Little Miss Incognito !!!! < she disappeared ??? > Are you going to be our tour bus hostess Lew Lew? Welcome to the wattlers Sylvia, lovely to have you here. Jood

Good morning Wattlers - welcome Sylvia . . . not a bad bunch to hang out with ! One handed type job going on here . . . baby Ben has taken up residence in the other oarm. So cute - he loves music, so you only have to start singing and he starts talking happy baby talk! The mummy, daddy and two brothers are down on the beach collecting shells - bit too cool for bubs down there this morning. Taking too long with one hang so back later . . luv Laurie

Hello Sylvia, you're welcome to drop in any time for a chat, as that's what we Wattlers are very good at, lol. Well, it looks like I'll be putting together a special winery tour for the Mudgee Meet, so I'll work on it and let you know the details. Hazy in Mudgee today, with all the smoke from the Mountains and Coast having blown back towards us and, of course, the hay down at the Abattoir is still smouldering! I'm off to get some breakfast and will check in again soon. Lew Lew xxx
