Lol, Anna, I was still in my pj's and dressing gown when I took the photo, so I don't think that outfit would have done the earrings justice. Thank you, Anna and Rebs, for your cards. They were very cute. Terry has just decided he should take the Birthday Girl to lunch. yummy. I think seafood would be nice and we have a good one called Fish in the Bush. Lew lew xxx

PMSL Lew! Hope the fish hasn't been in the bush too long or it might be a tad off! Don't want any nasty tummy bugs on your birthday......... Seriously, enjoy your lunch. Sounds great. :>) Anna

Lol, Anna. Fish comes in fresh daily. It's only a 45 minute flight from Sydney! We're not that far out in the bush, pmsl.

Good Morning all Just flying through the thread as Im supposed to be somewhere else. Happy Birthday Lew. Have a great day and dont do too much lol. 26 Sleeps, Cheers Sue

Nudge for Fitz..............Hi all...

Finally heard from my techno challenged OH in Canada via email - only been gone week and a bit - might hear from him a bit more now. Back later

Morning All, Nice drop of rain, most of crop in now...at last.!!! I had a lovely time shopping in Melbourne with daughters, plastic a bit soft around the edges. Congrats on the grandson Tony, I just love being a grandparent, very exciting for you. I can't believe a week of my time off has gone already, I have been trying to do some of those jobs that get put off around the house. And am planning to visit some cemetary's this week, Looking forward to going to Perth next week. Have a good day all, Wilson

Well, it was morning when I started reading but by the time I finish typing I'd better say: Good afternoon all!!! :) Been minding grand -d while her mummy went to the Drs. GOOD NEWS is that she doesn't have gestational diabetes this time - although I seriously questioned it last time! So she is so relieved not to have to do all the blood tests every day. Actually, I am a little concerned as she is carrying so small for a second time. But bubs is healthy according to the Dr. Trifley - I loved the movie Calendar Girls - but I go with the suggestion of period costume! Has fined up a little so I am going to hang some washing out. :) back later Vonny Ooops almost forgot! HAPPY B'Day Lew Lew. Hope the fish was yummy. :)

Afternoon Waffling Watters, Have been unable to get on pc for a while have had 2 grandsons staying and they hog the pc as well as playing the x-box, persuaded them to come for a walk on Sunday morning to walk off the big breafkast I cooked them,12 and 16 they are. They still have another week to go as they are at private school but they are off home tomorrow. Happy Birthday Lew have a great day.....you share the birthday with my eldest daughter ( Cancer the crab) same as me. Well have to go out now so will catch up with all the rest a bit later I hope Cheers Sandra in the Gong

Happy Birthday to Lew Hope you have a wonderful day - and your earings are beautiful ! Terry has good taste - but we knew that already! Well I'm off for a kiddies day shortly, JoJo and I are going to have lunch at HokaHokaBento, go to Timezone, and then to the park for icecream. I expect to be zonked tonight. Yes, Anna, it is exciting on the FH front, specially being the first contact with birth family for Jacquie, she was adopted at 1 day old, 40years ago. I have been able to give her photos of her 3gtgrandparents, 4gtgrandparents and lots of gts aunt and uncles. What is more amazing is that Jacquie lives just up the road from my friend Debs that we stayed with in UK. Jacquie has been trying to locate her birth mum, but with names like Smith and Harris is has proven to be difficult - so she decided to go backwards to find out who her ancestors were. Well I had better get a move on or I will be late for the little master. Have a great day everyone and catch you later luv Laurie

Afternoon all Fine here today. Had a few drops of rain on the weekend. My poor car needs a wash now as all you can see is rain spots on the dust. Congrats Grandpa and Grandma. SuzyQ, did the people turn up to have a look at your car? Loved the joke. Still cackling........ Laurie, thanks for the pickles and really sorry to hear about your friend. Are you chicken, giving you month to Tony. Gwenda, what is OH doing in Canada? Vonney when is your daughter due to have her bub. How ya going Jood? Trifley, I need head to toe coverage. How was lunch Birthday Girl ? Hi to all, must go and have some food Pam

Afternoon Wattlers, Happy Birthday Lew, you lucky thing the earings are beautiful. We had a lovely day at the footy yesterday and then spent some time with the fav nieces. Then home for fish & chips for tea and an early night. Trying to get all my h*****K done today but its too wet to put the washing out so the house will look like a chinese laundry again. Tony dont ya just love it when you find some scandal in the past?? Keep the jokes coming, have a good day

Good afternoon wattlers. Hope you enjoyed the lunch Lew, Did you wear the ear-rings. I can see you, early morning prancing round the bedroom in ear-rings and limo shoes and night time attire. (Especially if you sleep in the altogether) LOL Pam, no they didn't turn up to look at the car. He sounded to be very young and the young ones don't like to put themselves out too much. Think it may have been too far for him. It is the car we bought when we first came to Australia a Ford Falcon. It's in very good condition but worth nothing really. The wheels and tyres the most valuable part of it, so we are really selling them and throwing the car in. Today is the start of a new month for my internet, so please can I ask that you don't send me any big big attachments. I feel that I am being done by bigpond and I am trying to moniter it very carefully. Lew can you reduce your photos, please? Sorry to be a bore about it. Well its another sunny day in Qld. Didn't get much rain over the weekend. Good thing is I have all my washing blowing on the line. Lovely drying day. Well, going to pay some bills, be back later Luv SuzyQ

Afternoon Wafflers, Just having a break from the bathroom. Pam - OH is on a training course with work - well that's the excuse - none of that was mentioned in the email - pppp The govt. takes a big risk with him using million dollar equipment but I can't let him loose on the the VCR - totally clueless He's back on the 1st August. Jude2 - I am soooooo glad your team had a win - thought I'd heard result in Port's favour and wasn't happy Girls, girls, girls - please can we all stop being so prissy - period costume is not the way to go - we could all hold up our family trees - they'd cover a multitude of sins - course if I had to show just my immediate family you'd all be in trouble - thankfully all my grandies had lots of siblings - went downhill after that - pmsl SuzyQ - loved that joke Laurie - sorry about your friend but notice he was replaced by twins - he sounded so special it needed 2 to replace him. Loved the pickles too - our wharfies wouldn't last an hour. Enjoy your day out - think your lil buddy might be tucking you into bed tonight Better get back to the bathroom - just enjoying the smell of cloves coming from the kitchen - stewing some quinces - yummy Catch up at next break Gwenda~~~~~~waving~~~~~~~

Trifley, sorry I forgot to mention, I had been thinking on similar lines to you, but maybe we could get Rebs to be the model. Period costume sounds better but I don't think we would sell as many LOL Suzy

Oooo Gwenda, me me me, I loooooove quinces. I bought one here in Canberra, boiled the life out of it and it stayed yellow and hard, didn't go red at all!! Are there different types??? Visitor coming this arvo so better go and tidy up. :) ~~~~~~~~~Vonny

Gwenda, I wish my boss had've sent me to Canada when I went on training courses. Was there for Christmas in 2004. Would love to get back there. I'm lucky here that my son is a bit more clued up to do the tech stuff in our house. O h and I are both hopeless. SuzyQ - what a bu**er. Young ones, so unreliable. ~~~~~ to the royal 'one' Pam

Afternoon Waffler, back from lunch. Seafood platter for 2 and a very nice little Sauv Blanc. Could life get any better? No.! I'd just like to thank you all so very much for all your wishes and ecards. I must say it's a little overwhelming and to think I only came to know you lot about 6 months ago. You all feel like family to me and I'm touched. Some friends are coming over for afternoon tea, including baby Ruby, so I'll be able to have lots of snuggles! Lew Lew xxx

Arvo Wafflers. Happy birthday Lew.Hope you had a great day mate. Tony Oz..:>))
