Well Wattlers, Sunday is nearly all gone !! Mary, you left the chocolate on the cupboard and I'm trying real hard not to have a nibble . . . but its really hard when you throw one liners about blow jobs !!!! PMSL The day started out lovely here - then the winds came in - fortunately we are protected on the balcoonie so were able to watch it all unfold. Even saw a plane abort its landing due to the great gusts. The city looks eerie all coated in dust, and if you stood on the beach you would get sand blasted. Poor Jude, I tried real hard not to laugh about your ceiling . . . but it didn't work !! Heather enjoy your break girl !! Ray said to tell you all . . . . B R O N C ' S . . . & . . . S Y D N E Y S W A N N I E S Tony, let us know what you thing of FTM 2006 version . . . been looking at it in OfficeWorks and trying to decide if it would be worth upgrading Catch up with you all later, if not later this evening - then c u 2morru luv Laurie |

Afternoon Wattlers Well I hope you are all glad that I thought of you and decided to share our strong/Gale force winds with you lol. It is still raining here but the wind has died down quite a lot. I have to pick up Dannielle from her scout camp at 4.00 so it will be interesting to see how they got on and if they braved it by sleeping in the tents or if they slept in the schools gym. It made the news as there was Cubs from all over Tassie with leaders and some Scouts who were selected to help as leaders, which is why Dannielle went, we didnt see her on tv thought. Tamika seems to be back to her usual self, now bored and waiting for school to start again on Tuesday. We took the kids to the mueseum to have a look at a collection of 'Sols' work. Mainly focusing on his cartoon character 'Snake' not sure if you all have heard of him but we get Snake in our local newspaper in the comic section. Alan Saulsbury (sp) was born in Vic and now live in Launceston. He has made it OS with his catroons, you have to laugh at the adventures of poor Snake trying to impress Lady Snake lol. Well must go and check mail and then give someone else a turn on puta. Catchy you all later. Cheers Sue |

Beautiful day here on the lovely Darling Downs - no water but the sun is shining and it's a perfect Spring day. Hold onto your hats you guys down South. Oh Jude - what a bbb....r about your ceiling. We had a water pipe burst in our ceiling last year - carpets and furniture sodden - just horrible. Hope you are back to normal soon. Tony - that sounds like a really good deal you got with tree maker. Beauty mate. Ironing and watching South Pacific - a new version made for TV. Not as good as the original. At least it makes the ironing a little more bearable. Byee Anna |

hi all, thought i would confirm the wind. we've got a few big trees, lucky the wind blowing them the other way. We had the nicest walk this morning, warm and actually sheltered where we went. I've been washing blankets, so if there is rain coming too, i'de better get cracking. Sound of music this arvo, miles has been let off as he wasn't impressed with the idea. I think that the Bin Laden stuff is media driven. Apparently none of it is substantiated. Boy its hard to curtsey and walk backwards. With the increase in royalty, will have to practice. Does this mean we have to mind our P's and Q's too? love Yvette |

Oh Flakey, I know it isn't funny but I just couldn't help myself. pmsl...still am, everytime I think about it. Hey Lew, you flying kites down Mudgee way or somefink. Enjoy your break Hz Windy here today but gentle wind, sunny also, not a cloud in the sky. Talking of skies, my daughter did the same thing - glowing stars on the walls and ceiling of her room. Did the southern hemisphere. Was a bu**er of a job to paint her room when we sold our house. Probably some stars still there. Hi Jood, where are you off to today ? Thinking of lunch, be back later Pam |

Morning Wattlers. Blowing a gale down sarf in Malbin too. Very O/cast and looks like rain later on in day possibly. Hz. Safe journey to you DD. Would love to go to Japan, it would be a great expeariance. Like to go to China also. We got close in 2001 when we holidayed in Hong Kong and took a bus tour up to the Chinese borders ( New Territories ).......but I'm not surposed to be talking Holiday, as money is needed for the renovations I'm doing. Jood. Got your pickle mate, and will do what i can.x Jude ( Flakey ) Had to laugh about you sleeping under the stars in daughters room...lol Our Sarah is away ( School Holidays ) and because our bedroom is being done, Barb and i are sleeping in Sarah's room.........she has those glow stars all over her ceiling also.......lol Was looking up at them last night, and said to Barb.....all we need is the sound of Crickets chirping, and we can pretend wer'e camping.....lol Av a good un peeps.

Blowing a gale here too Lew - tho sun is shining. Hope that wasn't your pool cover that flew past. As you say - batten down the 'atches - I have to go out in it soon too :(( .. Will have to wash my hair, don't think I'll need a blow dry. I'm sooo glad the lovely biiiiig tree was pulled down earlier this year, it was just outside my bedroom window. .. I used to move to the bedroom further away from it when the wind got strong! .. Incidentally, the elkhorn which was recovered from the tree, and given to me still attached to a small portion of said tree, is really flourishing now. .. A nice memento. btw - Princess DI(y) didnt return my text msg - either she's scooted with the money - or she is screaming for help on the roof, - still. Flakey, must admit I did giggle too at your predicament, but it was a kinda sympathetic giggle .. pmsl Jood |

Ooooh Flakey (pmsl) been there done that!! Took us six months to get workmen when a storm let water in under the roof and our ceiling bowed like that! But got it fixed eventually, new plaster and then painted, looks good (better!) then new. UPDATE - phone rang just then and DD sounded as if she was next door. So far Tokyo is just like Melbourne she says!! But had an awesome breakfast, slept OK (hot) and loved the japanese style ryokan accomodation. Sightseeing today - Ueno markets, then Asakusa Kannon Temple area, then Akihabara (electronic discount shopping), then Meiji Shrine and Yoyogu Park where artists perform on Sundays. Full Day! So proud of her. I'm really signing off for a few days now, ~~Hz |

Jill (((special hugs))) JudyYV for goodness sakes, get off that roof before you're blown to NZ! And don't take the winning ticket with you, lol Have a great break Heather.

Morning Wattlers, blimey a girl misses one day on here and 8 pages later... JudeDIY, well done ,we're heading in the right direction for a big win by christmas. But you have to get down off the roof to collect our money..lol Seems I missed a very important occasion, the dubbing of a new princess, congratulations from a humble peasant. Jill, hang in there, our thoughts are with you, pop in when you can. We have had more dramas with our leaking pipe in the ceiling. Roy fixed the original leak thursday night and there was still a very small drip all that night which we thought was the water in the ceiling drying up. But it kept dripping and fri night I noticed the ceiling was beginning to bow so clever OH decides he would put a very small hole in the plaster and release the water that was collecting . Bad move. The small hole grew before our eyes and then the roof fell in........I was a great help, I laughed so much I couldn't stand up...We have now found 4 pin sized holes in the pipe so the whole thing has to be replaced, and so does a 2mtr x3mtr section of plaster. Bit of a drastic way to get the room painted. And trying to sleep in Jess's double bed under her ceiling of glowing stars is not fun either......pmsl Now I have to wash all the towels that have been used to mop up so I'll be back later. ~~~~~~everyone Damp Flakey |

Congrats on the WattleLotto everyone!! Will be following Weagles next week, and the Storm (who have quite a few supporters around here) in the rugby. It's turned stormy overnight and a bit chilly so glad I did garden yesterday. We are almost ready to leave - will be away till Wednesday night. Haven't heard from Japan - but not worried. DD sms'd before leaving ' mum I think I forget my yen', followed by another text ' joking' !! I knew she had it, so didn't get too spooked! Signing off then till later in the week, take care all, ~~~ Hz |

Morning Wattlers and Good it is not! The weather is disgusting. We have just been buffetted with 125km wind gusts and 3 of us have just had to rescue the $3000 pool cover!!! Reminded us very much of sailing across Bass Strait! The temperature is high (28C) and a lot of our trees are taking a pounding. Ohh well, nothing to do, but ride it out. Lew Lew xxx |

Good morning Well - what a lot of waffling went on last night after I was tucked up safely in my bed! Us peasants have to get an honest night's rest in view of the fact we have to slave away to placate our masters during the day..... Yoooohooooo.....Jude - are you off the roof yet????? Congratulations on getting another good line of numbers. I'm off to turn on the radio to check out the story on Osama. Heard the 6.30am news and I don't think there was anything on that ... however I have been known to cat nap through the news when I'm listening to it in bed first thing in the morning! Have a great day everyone....bows to the royal members Luv Anna PS Division 4 paid $41.45 .... I'll have a Cherry Ripe thanks. |
