I'm off to bed and my book. 'Byeeee Trifley X X

Just dashing in and out quickly- Joodles - Oh you poor possum. I have been worried about you because you have been so quiet. Now, take care, do everything the nurses tell you and I hope you're under a good doctor....... Hi Rebs - Lemon has been asking after you. We are all missing you so don't be a stranger. Lovely to see you back Mary - glad you had such a nice break with your uncle. Hi Pam - do drop in and say hello to us and we will be very nice to you for at least 5 minutes and then we'll start rubbishing you like we do to everyone else! Did somebody say the Queenslanders are the battiest? Not true, not true, not true. Very decorous ladies I'll have you know - isn't that correct Trifley, Rebs, SuzyQ, Candy Leatherthong, Jill Jill and anyone else who claims to be a banana bender! Waving to everyone else as I'm off to bed Good night, sleep tight Anna

OK Wattlers, I need your help . . . . When the Joodles is allowed to get out of hospital, I have asked her to come over and stay with me for a few days so I can play mother hen and feed her up on chicken soup. Guess what . . . she has a BBQ on the weekend she doesn't want to miss and other social events on the go . . . So I am asking you all to gang up on her with me, I dont want her taking two steps forward and three back . . . . I admire your independance Joodles, but boy you sure share the family genes of stubborness luv Laurie

I had a look and there were lots of books by that author but I don't know which ones you're looking for. Weird day here weatherwise, sunny one minute teeming with rain the next. *waves to all* Juliexx

Morning everyone, Hi Julie Cat - any rain you don't want will be greatly appreciated somewhere in Oz - very dry here again and desperately needed by our farmers. Joodles - now listen here girl - your social life has to take a back seat until you are 100% again - so when Laurie wants to play nursemaid you let her - never knock back a bit of TLC and enjoy being fussed over. Big healing hug ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) coming your way. Hope you're back on your lappy asap - cos you're missed. Work day today so gotta go and get ready. Catch up this arvo, have a great day and hope we are all getting some decent rain luv Gwenda

I am 94 yrs old and live at the Local Community Home for the Aged.My family has long since passed away and I rarely have visitors. As a result i have very limited contact with the outside world. This makes your gift especially welcome. My roomate Maggie Cook has had her own radio for as long as I have know her. She listens to it all the time, though usually with an earplug or the volume turned down so low that I cant hear it. For some reason, she has never wanted to share it, last Sunday while listening to her gospel programs, she accidentally knocked it over and it smashed into pieces and caused her to cry. It was so sad. Fortunately, I had my new radio, Knowing this Maggie asked if she could listen to mine. I told her to F**K Off God Bless You, Sincerely --Edna Johnson Bye Bye Shaz

Good morning Wattlers, Are u your online Joodles ??? - hope your feeling less like a bus hit you and more like your old self! The lovely Ray has been fed and watered, lunch box packed and check listed out the front door! A lovely sunrise this morning over Botany Bay - we have some high dark clouds, some fluffy white stuff on the horizon with a small strip of blue in between - so the sun rising with all that going on was startling! Just two giraffes with their heads up high - Ray pointed out that they are the maroon ones . . . . . I didn't have the heart to tell him there is a difference between maroon and red !! Poor man never gives up - since we have been here in Sydney, he has decked his office out with his maroon jumper, streamers etc. for State of Origin football, only to go into the office next day and find dirty blue sox etc everywhere. He had ordered two tickets for the game tonight, but they never arrived - had to have them reissued yesterday! (Hopefully friends he invited to go has speedy recovery today from sniffles and I dont get dragged along). I received miles of info from GR member last night on my BIL's Forsyth line - one of their contacts have it way back to an Odin Forsite in the 300's . . . mind blowing - I'm wondering how much of it is verified !! I'm playing ladies today . . . . ironing ladies - yuk - no matter how you try and dress it up it is still the worst job on the planet. Hope you all have a lovely day, catch up later cheers (waving maroon streamers just for Ray) luv Laurie

Morning all :) Shazz, I have my priorities right. The TV is in the loungeroom - COLD and my computer is in the family room next to the fire :)))))) Both the cat and dog are lying in front of the fire at the moment. It's a gray morning here but I do love the seasons. Everything in its turn. I am actually quite apprehensive about this trip. It is always 'fun' to travel with my Korean friends - I don't understand Korean and their English is very limited! makes for some very interesting scenarios I can tell you and I get very lonesome for an Aussie voice! So anyone who want's to accompany me ............................. you're welcome :) Much prefer travelling with hubby but he can't come. (actually he hates plane travel). have an unexpected home day today so going to make the most of it :) ~~~~~~~~~~~to all, especially to Jood, blessings and hugs, Vonny

JOOD! Go to stay with Laurie, you naughty girl!! lol. You need mothering. Morning all, it's only going to reach 15c today, although it's sunny. Hope all the sickies are feeling better. Chicken soup is what's called for. Well, it's only 37 sleeps, so had better make sure work is up to date. Seeya Lew Lew xxx

I just got off the phone from talking to Joodles, poor love, they didn't put her in a room till nearly 8pm, so she was in emergency waiting around from 9am. Waiting now for a scan, and she will ring me back when she knows what is happening after that so I will keep you all informed. . . Not happy Jan . . . no internet access, so she cant get on herself luv Laurie

Ah yes, the public hospital system working at its usual speed and efficiency. Laurie, not that I think that you need reminding, but don't forget to tell her all the Wattler Mates are worried about her and send her BIG HUGS! Lew Lew xxx

Hi Again, Vonny, maybe I should think about moving the comp into the family room right under the air con, that way Id certainly stay warm, although I do have a heater next to me in the study, but its a radiator type one,might go and invest again in a litte fan heater, I find them warmer, didnt know you were travelling by yourself, thought John was going with you, is it through work that you are going, and where do you work, you sure are braver than me I dont even venture into the city without my comfort blanket (Rob) other wise nobody would ever see me again, he he somtime to Robs delight, will travel to the likes of the country areas as such, but I get sooo nervous when it comes to busy areas, bit of a chicken really, wont even catch a train by myself but as long as I have the OH to come with me Im fine, anyway cant read a road map properly, I have to turn it upside down to make any sense of it, actually Im a bit of a woos when it comes to going out alone, believe it or not Im a bit shy, (honest) Joodles are you home yet, if so I hope your snuggled up in BED and keeping warm Morning Lew, thought it was going to be a freezer here today as well, but the sun is shining a little, and its getting a little warmer so not too bad Should I or not take a trip into Campbelltown and buy Rays morning tea for him for tomorrow, a nice big Blue cake to brighten his office a little, GO THE BLUES Crikey, have just spent and hour on the phone to Lands office chasing the deeds to house, went into town last Mon and registered them, only to have the goose that typed up the receipt put the wrong address on file should have been 23 not 25, rang local post office, no nothing been received rang Lands again, spoke to different person this time, he quoted address on file, NO I just finished telling the other guy it is 23 not 25, like Dah he never changed the address, rang head officeto which I was informed, Oh yes they have been sent back to Lands Dept as no address found, another call to Lands Dept telling they would receive in post today, to which I was again informed, well I had better go down to registered dept and tell them to change address, bloody hell, how much do we pay these imbeciles, honestly a slower bunch of workers I have never come across, attitude is like, I really dont want to be here today Grrrr Laurie, what hospital is she in, know what it was like, when I had pneumonia, and I went down to the hospital, I was asked, and what do you think is wrong with you, like hello, whose the bloody dr here,to which I told him what I had, after 5hrs waiting in a cold room for xrays was told, yes you do have pneumonia, how did you know? honestly what are they learning in med school these days, luckily though I ended up with a really nice (old) specialist, was in for a week, so maybe they will keep her in that long too, is she having physio, she should be to clear her lungs, as well as medication See Ya Shaz

Morning Wafflers It's a beeeewdiful autumn day here on the Gold Coast Blue sky, the sun is shining and the air is crisp. The gods are in their heavens and all is right with the world. The gutter guard went in and Graeme didn't fall off the roof, it was only the broom he was using to sweep out the gutters. Mark has changed some of the water in the fish tank and the little fellows seem happy now they can see where they are going (lol). Doesn't it make you feel good when you can tick off some of these small jobs? JOODLES....yooo....hooo....can you hear me? You must do as Laurie says and go to her place. Never let the opportunity to get pampered go by. A chance you miss is a chance you're never going to get! Big <<<<hugs>>>> and kisses from Nefer and the boys. Hi Cat, how ya going? Saw a news report about the Chelsea Flower show last night. I'd love to see that. Have you ever been there? Thanks for looking on Amazon for me. We have quite a few of Christian Jacq's books He seems popular so I don't think we will have too much trouble getting books 2, 3 & 4 of this series. Hi Shaz....we live 5 mins from Robina at a place called Mudgeeraba. How long are you staying? Perhaps we could get together for coffee at Robina Town centre. Must toodle. Mark is giving blood today and I'm going to drive him. He has a naturaly low BP and sometimes feels a little dizzy after he donates. 'Byeee ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~waves as she hunts son out from under bed.

But they are only open for lunch from 11.30 - 2.30, then dinner from 5.30. We need a place to park our entourage in between. Surely they must have bars or lounges ? any ideas.....please, anyone !!! And news on Joodle Bella? Sent her a card yesterday, but she may not be able to collect it if she has no net access. Must keep moving, shopping trip with the girl beckons. toodaloo!!!

Morning Wattlers, sunny but chilly in Melb today, not that it matters to me as I'm stuck in the office. Lew, less than 5 weeks ...just incase you've lost count...lol Now Joodles, do what the doctors tell you. And if Laurie is willing to look after you then take her up on the offer, just think if the situation was reversed you would do the same I'm sure. Besides at Lauries you can use the puta , you can't in hospital. Best get back to work, will chat later, 'hi ' to everyone Jude2
