~~~~~~~~~~~~~ waves back to Trifley - Im in short sleeves with a jerkin, but then the aircon keeps me warm. .. Pouring again outside, I think its rained more constantly since yesterday. .. What I call a real winter's day. Now I wish I had the appropriate meal for a cold winter's night :( Jood

~~~~waves to Joodles I'm rugged up in a blanket it's so cool here. TX

Read what I said further down Trifley - there is lots and lots of rain coming your way. .. It makes the screen all pretty colours with heavy rain, heavier rain, and heavier still rain. Mary - you poor thing. You'll get your nice warm weather back soon. .. Put another jumper on and have another wine or free. .. By the way your OH sounded nice on the phone the other day. Jood

Hi Vonny...I've emailed you about the other site. Hi Mary....you wouldn't want our weather....it's turned cold and there are storm clouds on the horizon. Perhaps Peter Beatie can make it rain....lol TX

Jood The Daiken dosent get installed until thursday.. We have had such nice weather lately it is like we have gone backwards to winter. And I dont like it.. Laurie Stay up there mate.. Its orrible down here til thursday .. Should be OK for your lunch on friday.. Love Maryxxx

Mary - Laurie wants all the warm - she wants you to change the weather here in Sydney and make it sunny for when she comes home. .. Is it because you don't have your aircon yet, that you hate the weather? .. As long as I am tucked up inside with my aircon on, I don't really mind. - Im warm! .. lol

Your not a wussy Sandra - wot about me when I had to drive down to Nowra - scared s*******less I was (found out later it was a piece of cake). .. I just like to know in advance where I am going .. lol Never mind, I'm sure there will be other meets - you just have to say the word, the time, the place and the date !!! Jood

Hi Wattlers, WEt, Wet, Wet in the Gong. Jood, would love to come to mini meet but I see my daughter no1 only on Fridays so is out also not keen driving that far on my own (I know wussy me)lol They had the annual Spring into Corrimal today poor things it still went ahead but what weather, I only popped there to go to Woolies and there was still a lot of people around. Can anyone remember those little funny saying's you could buy in pkts I think, that you use to put with photos to make funny captions, I have been trying to buy some but local newsagents don't sell them, might try photo shops tomorrow. I am doing a book up for my Grandson's 21st and thought funny captions would make it more interesting. Well back to this book, I have so many pictures (first Grandchild then you see) but it's funny to look back and remember different things and oh I looked so young and slimmer then LOL . Cheers for now Sandra in the Gong

Big ~~~~~wave to all the Waffling Wattlers It's a bit overcast here on the GC but there is a breeze so I should get my washing dry. With Peter Beatie winning the election yesterday I expected we'd have 'dam filling' rains today. Crew...I wouldn't mind a share of $22 million so you go get what ever Lotto lines you think are good. Laurie....looking forward to seeing you, TLR and the bamboo tomorrow. I'm feeling a little jet-laged so I think it's time for a coffee. Big hugs Trifley X

Went out for a bit to woolies and Dan Murphy's with Possum. (he don't do hangovers) I put a load of spuds in the oven this morning wrapped up in foil with a scrape of butter. slow cooked them and we've had them for lunch with assortment of mushrooms leek banana chillis garlic and sour cream (lite of course ) yum I work on Fridays, actually work each day 'cept Thursday , which is spent tring to learn. I'm passed the 1/2 way mark of lunacy weeks, exams are 1st week of Nov. then I'll be able to kick back for a while. Love Yvette x

Jood, on my other computer I chose the cat icon as a 'helper' The first time it went 'miaow' it was so realistic that I was looking around for my (real) cat lol Vonny

I have a little program on my computer called WinPatrol, and Scotty the dog looks after me. .. He barks when a program wants to put itself in start. .. It's almost like having a dog in the house, he is very polite, just barks once. .. He is a little black terrier, and he lives on my system tray. Jood <who is an anibul lover>

back again, Just saw that Rebs is visiting our weekender and HR sends her love to all. For those who don't know (or have lost) the address just pm me. Presence is now by invitation only so if you don't have an invite but would like to come, also pm me. I have 8 invites at the moment. Mini-meet sounds wonderful - any excuse for a get together seems to be our motto :) ~~~~~~~~~~Vonny

Hi all, Is anyone else other than Mel, Shaz, Laurie & me (hopefully Lyn) able to meet us at Mulgoa next Friday as 12 noon????? .. Let us know asap so we can book. What about you Sandra, Yvette - is it too far for you to drive (I have no idea) ~~~ anyone is welcome. Love Jood

Afternoon all, Lovely photo Laurie of your home and beautiful poem SusyQ. I do feel for Steve's daughter Bindi especially - they had such a strong bond. I'm having a lazy day today - eldest son has almost finished cleaning out the room so I have to plan the furniture carefully for my den!!! Lew, that sounds a good use for the extra money :) Also, what was that thing Laurie got that actually gave us two weeks using the same numbers????? ~~~~~~~~ Vonny

G'day all . . . morning over - and nothing much to show for it . . . have read the sundy papers from wo to go so now have useless infor stored . . . but that doesn't really count does it. We were waiting for the boys to arrive for the day, but they got stuck in traffic up north, an accident and a storm, and the storm clouds are building up down here so we told them to turn back. Guess I will just have to go through there 'stuff' without them . . . tee hee at least there will be a whole lot less crap stored when I have finished . . though probably not second thoughts, I will probably hang on to more than they would. But it will be the good crap of memories that I hold onto - not the worn out and garbage clothes that they never seem to toss! We came to an agreement this morning on the bathroom renos . . . I gave in !!! Not like me - but I have had an even bigger win with TLR telling friends we will be home to stay within about a year! I have the job of getting the place ready for our return, so will be home more often to arrange things. Glad you have enjoyed your time in Oz RB, hope all is well when you return home and the freezer has been restocked (lol). You realise dont you, that after being here during our winter, your winter is going to be hard to take this year!! You dirty stop out Lew Lew, did you find some good drops though . . . share the labels with us!! Hope Mudgee has some magic numbers in store for the little bear this week - about a mil each would be lovely thanks! TLR & I are having a great laugh here - just got sms from the gorgeous Lara, she is over the moon because she has found a convict !! Doesn't take mush to make a girl happy these days does it - just a fellon or two !!! Didn't take Rupert long to string the words did it - I think I had the poem thru the day after Steve died. Rupert is such a clever man with words though isn't he. Hi Wilson, must be hard to start thinking about returning to work, but when it all gets stressfull or mundane just think you have your holiday memories to go back to. well, the rassiinns are here maaa !! Just started raining - nice and steady, the birds are having a lovely time, chirping 90 to the dozen. Will do wonders for the gardens we have cleaned out this week, but darn it the grass will need mowing by next weekend. Flakey, I had the sun earlier - but its gone now !!! Sounds like a good night last night . . . Well orf to start on the boys stuff upstairs, If I get lost - send a search party. ~~~~~~ to all the Wattlers ~~~~~~ Cheers luv Laurie

Afternoon Peeps Another Sh..y day today..Had enough of this drought breaking rain and would like the drought to come back for a couple of weeks at least..We have more Kiwi visitors ariving on Friday so I would like the weather to be fine for them while they are here. Lew Do whatever you like with the money as long as we get tickets for a big win, and the one you mentioned seems a good one.. Suzy Loved the poem and it is so true... Didnt the Sydney Swans play well last night...It was a good match and we only got there by the skin of our teeth by 1 point.in the last few minutes.. Mel.. Get yourselfs a Daiken as they are wonderful and they sit on the wall and warm you in winter and cool you in summer,, We are getting one put in this week as we had one in the other house and found it fab. Well better go and get lunch so back later Love Mary xxxx

~~~~~~Hi Wattlers, overcast and cold today, who's got the sun???? We had a great time at the countdown concert last night. I t started at 7 and went til 11 with only a 20min interval. Pretty good for about $65. The music was fantastic but some of those old rockers look like they've led a bit of a tough life....lol I see our little Wattie is a good luck charm for us, lets hope he can bring in the big money next time and we could have a welcome home party ready for when he returns.. Time for me to get going, having a cuppa with anold friend this arvo. Flakey
