Good Morning Wattlers and it's still raining in Mudgee. Nothing heavy, just little sprinkles, but it's better than nothing. Now, saying that it's started to rain heavier! Nothing much planned for today which is good 'cause it's quite cold out. Hope you managed to get some sleep Trifles. Touch wood, I've never been to hospital, well I have visited, but never had to stay, lol. Make sure Watty behaves. Good on you Fluffy Duck. I'm Trifley was very happy to see your smiling face. Sounds like everyone had a great weekend. Catching up with family, screaming at the footy and peening nails! ~~~waves to all the waffling Wattlers~~~ Lew Lew xxx who can't make it to the Sydney Meet :-(((

Mooooooorning all Overcast here - we had 10mls of rain and they are saying we may get some more later. Keep your fingers crossed for us Trifley - can't you get a double strength caramel late in that place? You should complain to the management! Have a good day everyone. Cheers dears Anna

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww Lewwwwwwwwwww! Jood

Goodmorning Wattlers Happy 15th birthday for Tamika today . . . A very grey Botany Bay today . . . quite a contrast to the light show we had out to sea last night. We didn't get much rain though. There are 7 giraffes with their heads held high, a heavily laden container ship is just making its way towards the docks so I guess a couple more of them will soon be hard at work. Lovely to see The Great Trifley one back on her puter . . . and with a number no less !!! - hope your feeling heaps better this morning Queen, get that wonderful mind of yours working with your body to repair itself so you can get home - best place for you! Have you tried a DO NOT DISTURB sign above the bed for those early morning calls !! So glad you were able to get down to see Di yesterday Pam, you were very brave to go near those two highways in and out of Brisbane on a Sunday. Good heavens !! just listening to TV . . . the average length of a marriage in the USA is 23 months . . . Mary, its all getting exciting isn't it . . . getting closer . . . getting real !!! All those things . . . feelings, sadness, memories, excitement ! Ah we humans are crazy things aren't we!!! Von . . . thats a lot of copper nails kiddo, specially if the fingers are cold! is the garage heated ??? . . . . If only our kids did come with a mummy manual !!! Good excuse to go buy some new shoes Yvette . . . . Dear me Lew . . . lost the touch ??? Not coming to Sydney meet ??? Goodness me . . . things is crook in Tullarook . . . Should we start a Wattle petition to Terry ???? I'm back off out to the hospital in a little while - the doctors have called a family conference for 10am, and Jenny . . Dennys younger sister asked if I could come out after that. She said after we left Nancy and Bill were talking about lots of good memories from when we were kids rather than just the sadness of the current situation. So I will catch you all later . . . have a good day and keep rugged up . . . Lots of healing, loving thoughts for our Queen cheers luv Laurie

Morning Wattlers, I have just had the nicest weekend with our grandson, weekend started on Friday morning with my father and his lady friend coming to visit for the day. Dined out (Chinese) for lunch and then took a trip on the talking tram. Caught up on a bit of history of Bendigo. My fathers family were miners in the area so while he reminised(sp) i made mental notes. Now i have some more FH stuff to find out. Then eldest daughter and grandson, 14 months arrived, so full weekend. Now i am about to start packing for our W A trip (leaving Wed). OH is has been giving instructions on how much i can pack, he thinks a couple of changes of clothes should do. That might be fine for his case, but he will find a few things of mine in there as well lol. Lovely to see Trifley back here, ((((hugs)))).Get home as soon as you can so you can get some rest. And did i read that there is a casino meet in August???? Are we talking Melbourne???? HHHmmmmmm i will be back by then, think i will try to get there. can someone pm me with the details? Have a good day everyone, i had better move, took me too long to catch up and now no time to write much. Take Care Wilson

Morning all.. Iffy day today ,, not sure what it wants to do,, wish it would make its mind up ... Laurie Take care today and hope there is better news at the hospital..I too think we should have a petition to get Lew to the meet.. Yes I am now starting to get excited at the move.. We had another look at the unit from the outside as we wanted to show daughter where we are going and I see that old Grumblebum took the lovely potplant from the front veranda.. bugger as I was hopeing he wou;d leave it..Never mind I will get one of my own and put in a lovely rose...daughter was very impressed and cant wait to visit when we have moved in.. Trifles hope the day brings good news and they say when you can go home.....hugs... Vonny. How much of the boat was there when you bought it...What a lot of work you both have before you to get it into shape..Hope you have heating in the garage ..will be worth it when it is finished and John brings home all that nice fresh fish... Well I better go and get dressed so see ya later Love Maryxxx

Hi again, OK so i was having a craft moment......i was putting on some washing and thought you fool....the meet is in Sydney isn't it? Never mind, maybe we should have a Melbourne meet as well lol. Has anyone ever tried to get a hire company to be a bit flexible with thier pickup and drop off times? rigid b***ers!!!! our flight doesn't get in until 1635 and they want the pickup at 1615. So off to find another company....can't use them now!!! Catch up later Wilson

Hi Wilson We're all entitled to the odd CRAFT moment! We forgive you! Hope you have a great holiday and that you get the hire company sorted. They are certainly sounding a bit unreasonable! I heard on the news that Melbourne is the best city to live in according to some survey - no doubt our Melbournians will be feeling smug! Sounds like a good place for a Wattle meet - a bit far for me though I'm afraid. Cheers Anna

Morning from the West. It is raining very unusual. I rang you Jill but you are not there.

Morning Wattlers, Anna Melb isnt far and well worth the trip...not that I'm biased..lol Maybe a Melb meet is a good idea???? ~~~~Hi to our Queen~~~~~ Thoughts are with Laurie and her friends today, what a tough time. Have to go shopping for my youngest nieces birthday pressie today. She will be 6 on thursday and has put in a special request for a grown up purple doona cover...lol 'No fairies or girly stuff and not light colours ,,real purple' Sounded easy at the time but there isnt much call for single bed purple doona covers apparently, So I have one more try at the Sheridan chuck-out shop Good on you Mary for moving into such a nice place , we have been trying to talk my Mum into moving to a village for ages but she wont leave the house. 4bedrooms and a hugh garden is too much for anyone on their own, but she has lived in the one street for 75yrs, and wants to stay put. Have a good day evryone ,catch up later Flakey

Greetings again Wafflers. Well, it hasn't stopped raining and the sound is bliss. Of course Melbourne is the best city. That's where I was born, lol. Flakey, have you tried Adairs? I got a purple doona cover from them a while back. Hello Jilly's sister. Nice to see you popping in now and again. You up and about yet, Trifles? I'll try and give you a call this arvo.
