Have a good rest and see ya in the morning.. nite all and be good..not to many of those coloured pills.now,, Love Mary xxxxx

Must have been correcting the spelling whilst you were writing Laurie. Glad your back safe and sound. Your mail made me think about jill's face. The Garnier stuff, is it the night cream? I had some of that and it gave me itch, puffy moosh and hayfever, couldn't even use it for handcream. off to bed another huge day a-head ( acutally back muscles, fascia vertebral column and probably pelvis) lots of love from Yvette x

Evening all Well we are back in Sydney . . . rained most of the way down yesterday and today, and we had lots of stops for Ray to see folks along the way so made for a very long trip. Have managed to catch up with the chatter for the past two days - good to see you all in fine form. Trifley, hope the tum has settled down a bit. Donna, hope you feel better now, dont just put up with pain girl - go back to the Dr - get something to replace the pills that knocked you about. Ah Jilly, poor thing, almost wish it had been something as simple as nits !! Well have to get some of the stuff cleared away so I can find the kitchen in the morning, so will catch you all in the morning. Night nite luv Laurie

Hi all, I'm flat out getting on here. I'm having little break from things at the mo.its nice and quiet as all the boys have hit the sack and doggies are tired too. Hope you are all well, prob courtesy of a few coloured and vb tabs. I did check out some of the piccies, I tried to add some of my town - now and then - but the now were too large. will investigate that in a few weeks time if its still a fad. Otherwise i'm quite happy here at the wattlers home base. Tony, the lady who I thought was a Richardson - well she's not, sorry if I got your hopes up. Convicts - the kids have loads, transported to Tasmania and Sydney. free settlers and even a doctor who had a publication on record as a rare book, on rhinoplasty in the 1800's . He ended up in Darlinghurst gaol for something (mind boggles) but was not forced to come here. My lot are the gypsies, flower hawkers, green grocers, ag labs, blacksmiths and the like. I have got 1 convict, a brother of my gggrandfather,who I have only just been in contact with. Hopefully will meet (his descendant) one day soon. Found out its better not to leave these things too long. Possum doesn't know much about his and its a touchy area that we avoid for present I think a lot of you all these days esp since our disruption. I really enjoyed Sydney. I feel rotten about not being able to commit to Mudgee yet, but can't change how things are. Work has slowly been getting better, and am enjoying it thoroughly. Roll on hot days. My lovely keyring (in my bag always) keeps you all in my thoughts each day. Lots of mushy love and kisses, from Yvette PS Mel, when i get over tired i get mushy

Hi Everyone, Well I was starting to wonder what the weekender was but I have now had some time away, and I am all the more wiser. I now what Mary and Trifley look like and the bear also, thanks to Dr Lew. I think I may need to give up work to keep up with the weekender, and here and the adoption threads also LOL I will put it to my OH. Some how I don't think he will agree. Best keep it to myself I reckon. Mel

I have a rooooooooooommmmmmm of my very own for an office :)John is away this weekend so i get to play putting away paperwork in tidy places all weekend!! maybe after this I can get back to family history again. A place for everything and everything in it's place, Sigh! What a motto :) Won't be on tomorrow morning as have an early day and will be out till about 4pm. ~~~~~~~to all Vonny

Never mind its Happy Hour in the Club thursday so I can make up for it then..Its a Official Meet and Greet for newbies and we are included..Friday is French Night in the Restaurant here so we are having a birthday night with son and DIL. Nice not having to drive anywhere.or cook.. Tony Fantastic about Barbs ancestors.. I have been through Clunes a few times,It is a old gold town not far from Maryborough, Lovely country ..Arnt you clever..I found a lady in Tasmania who is a cousin 5 times removed and she has a grandfather ancestor who came out as a convict.. Can I claim him as my convict too as he is my ancestoral uncle isnt he... About the nearest I am going to get to having a convict in my tree.LOL Well its off to bed so see ya in the morning,, Love Mary xxx

Hi everyone Just had a look at the weekender - my oh my - some of you are fancy! Trifley - you are looking exotically regal over there. Wow! Will have to have a play around over the next few days and see what I can come up with. Have had writing group and genealogy meeting today and am plum tuckered out. Are you home safe and sound Laurie?? Cheers all Love Anna

Trifley jumps up and down in excitement for Barb.

I looked at all the news about the 9/11 memorials but couldn't see a little yellow bear anywhere. TX

Well Barb's a happy little bunny at the moment. Got a Gr connection and found a 1C5R ( 1st cousin 5 times removed ) Barb's Hockey surname line came from St.Agnes & St. Ives in Cornwall. Came out here in 1867 to Clunes.. Vic. ( Tin miners ) ( We holidayed there last year ) Her G,G,Grandad John Hockey 1827 had a brother James 1829 who also came out and settled in Clunes. Both these brothers married, and had a James, both born1867 Clunes, and that is how the connection was made. This person lives in Mooroolbark Vic. 20 min drive from us, and as we lived in Mooroolbark once, they probably passed each other in the supermarket.....lol Tony Oz...:>)))

Anyone heard from our Gwenda & Wattie?

Hi everyone You really are a mad mob. Rained here today till early afternoon then the sun tried to come out but the wind just blew it away. Bolting down eveything before it blows away.
