Hi Tony....welcome almost home. Did Barb do a little bit of shopping did she..lol Hi pam...will PM you. Lew Lew.... Graeme and I are both coming to Mudgee but we will be staying at that motel/resort we talked about.

Coffee time....I'll check in before bed. TrifleyX

Hello, Tony!!! Your favourite cuz is fine, thanks ... :-)

I'm coming with bells and whistles, and no man, Lew. .. It's down in me diary <the date I mean> Jood

Mary, did the same thing in 2002, but I could not throw out any of my cards etc. All my cards etc went back over 33 years. Bought tons of stuff to the new home - OH disowns me. Sorry Lara, you have definitely NOT slowed down. Lew Lew - ME ME ME - please pick ME.Just keep on adding rooms. Ducky

just a hiya and goodnight to nudge this back up. love from Yvette x

Evening all, aren't we all getting so clever, moving data, 4 way conversations, etc etc. . . Men are so lucky to have us women around aren't they! Yes Trifley, Ray and I get such a laugh out of Grumpy Old Women - so much of it just relates to the age bracket - not just the gender! Anna, glad you and K are doing OK. Well Tony & Barb are on the last leg - poor Tony will need to take another week off work to empty his emails, I have been good and only sent a couple by mistake when I forgot to take him off the mailing list. I know what its like! Going to be great to have them home - Missed you mate! I have actually found a few good little bits & pieces on Origins - even a bit in Ireland! Best of all I have learnt a little more about what is on the site so thats good. Lew, Ray & I will be there . . . but we already have the loft at the Blest house booked ! They will have a baby for the grand aunt to spoil then too!!! Shearing started today out at the farm, so the family are all busy, talking to sister Marie tonight, she is pooped from being shearers cooks offsider. Fingers crossed the rain stays away from W/Wyalong so they can get it over and done with. The week after next they start out at Nephews property out near Cobar. I know its because of the wool - but it just seems cruel to shear in the cold weather - poor cold sheep! Forgot to cut up the fruit salad for Rays lunch tomorrow, so off to do that before I go to bed. Talk later cheers luv Laurie

Are you OK yvette ??? luv Laurie

Jood, maybe You and I could share a room at Lew and Terry's. Gotta warn ya, I reallly snore. They will probably park me about 5 ks outa town. Do you really want to know all the dirt ..Lew..........???? Hi Trifley, waiting ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have to go to the optomitrist tomorrow. Have to have photos of the back of the eye ??? re the diabeties Ready to go to my love affair (bed). Maybe by the time you get home Tony and Barb, you might have unwound. Nighty, nite, don't let the bed bugs bite Ducky

Looks as if the Mudgee meet is going to be the big social affair of the season. Undoubtedly the media will be present.......perhaps I should take my tiara. TrifleyX

Hi everyone :-) Anna sorry to hear about Dixie, glad you and Katherine are ok. Lew you have a beautiful house :-) Tony sorry I didn't get to speak to you. I tried phoning you but got told to change the first two digits then when I did that it said number not recognised arrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhh. Hope you had a good holiday anyway. ~~~~~~~~~~~~to all~~~~~~~~~~~~ Juliexx

Not that I mind being mixed up with someone as lovely as Lara, But dont yell at me please Pam (aka Ducky). . . !!!! You will give me mighmares . . . Just found a will on origins that fingers crossed is going to open doors - plus I found out why my gtgtgtgrandparents (two convicts) never married - he was married before he got nicked !!! Left a wife and baby behind by the looks of it. Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could find descendants of the son left behind. Off for some sleep cheers luv Laurie

*creeps in quiety, so's not to wake Barb & Tony* (I was a day early welcoming you home) Ducky .. sorry .. my accomodation was organised a long time ago. I didn't have any luck at all on origins. .. I didn't have time to spend on it unfortunately. Probably too late now. Dr said blood pressure was up (2nd time in 2 weeks) - hmmm. I dont have blood pressure normally, I mean I am not on medication for it - nor do I want to. ..Damn. .. I have a headache this morning which is not a good sign. Jood

Morning all, might get a bit more of the day in today.If i stay away from those painkillesrs i might be right , golly they are certainly effective. i'm sure all of the family has enjoyed me being quiet too. i 'think' i watched 3 more movies yesterday, Chololat Big fat Greek wedding and Million Dollar Baby it was like a movie marathon, with intermission for food toilet and drugs. Goes as a warning to all those people in Britain (unfairly) enjoying glorious weather while we freeze our bums off - i'm not bitter at all- wear a hat and sunscreen, because skin cancer is not a joke! Now its time to get out of bed you lazy things love Yvette x

What exactly did you have done Yvette? .. Hope you are on the way to recovery now. The poor english are having a heat wave they say - about 90 deg. .. They don't know what hot weather is, do they lol. .. Personally I'd rather be up in FNQ where Lara is, the weather is ideal in winter. Nice clear day here today in the mountains, not a cloud in the sky, very different to yesterday. .. I reckon if there were giraffes to be seen, I could see them! .. Not a breath of wind either, makes for a glorious day. Jood

Morning Lovelies. The fog has descended upon Mudgee and I can't see past the front fence. It's also quite cold and we have just had to put the air con on. Looks like another day for tidying up the computer and trying to sort out some of my family tree. Welcome home Tony & Barb. Bet you both had a wonderful trip. Hope you got a bit of retail therapy in, Barb. Tell us all about it. Off to have a cuppa. See you all later Lew Lew xxx

Good morning all . . can hear our little Melburnian travellers snooring form here !!! Joodles, the sun is out here too - but there is a haze over the city, so the view of the giraffes is not too clear - but I can make out that there are 5 with their heads up. I have decided to have a 'ME' day today - I'm off to the city to do a gallery/museum crawl. Every time I go into the city I am in such a hurry to get out again that I dont take time to enjoy - today will be different! . . . Or when I do go to museum/galleries, I have visitors or Ray with me so I dont get time to ponder. Today I am going to be totally selfish and absorb! I have a list of places I want to go - from one end of the city to the other, so today I am one of the tourists in Sydney! Yvette - hope your feeling a bit better today, not fair is it to have to pay now, for a childhood in the sun. ~~~~~ to everyone else, have a good one . . . TIP OF THE DAY . . . Take time to smell the roses, or whatever else you enjoy cheers luv Laurie

i had a yukky bcc removed from my forehead. it kept coming back so the plastic surgeon it was. doctor(or the plastic surgeeon would do it in the surgery) i didn't think it would cause me so much grief. from eyebrows up is encased in sticky plaster with a huge pad. they've taken part of my hairline away , but can't see it . looks like a mega alice band. that was the warning to the sun lovers. i love the beach and the sun -the whole kit and kaboodle , i've always been pretty cautious too, but we arrived in australia 14 Jan 1967. sun burn for 2 summers straight no doubt as we lived across the road from the beach. The rest of my family have quite olive skin and dark hair. i got the pale skin , blonde hairblue eyes - definitely could have been adopted! anyway... moaning's pointless. wouldn't mind a museum nudge today. 2 of the kids have been to the Crime and Justice Museum in Sydney and reckon its really fabulous. good day for sydney in general i think. lotsa love yvette
