Good morning to you all. Caulking up the rowboat so Spot and I can join you at your meet. Spot is a rather funny looking sabre tooth tiger right now. We had a few rubbish bins set alight around the neighbourhood. Spot decided to explore the remnants of one. He now looks like he is wearing camouflage paint.

Well I am home. Thank goodness. Spent a very eventful afternoon after losing my keys in the hotel. Felt like a real wally. Had to call the auto association to come unlock my car so I could check if I had locked them inside. Nope. Had half the hotel staff looking for them. Rang OH and he brought my spare set from home.

Went over and over and over where I had been and when I used them. Finally decided they must have been on the bed and when room service did the room they had scooped them up in the sheets and blankets.

What keys, oh nothing important, just car, work and home. All this looking and car opening and key conveying took about three hours. About half an hour after I finally arrived home the hotel rang to say the keys had been found.

Think I'm getting too old for this gallivanting. Should stay home and sit in my rocking chair and just rest. The brain can not stand all these disruptions. De stress, as Maz suggested, is definitely needed.

Just heard Spain is into the soccer final. Not that I care one smidge however Germany was the cause of us being knocked out of the final so that is a good result. Actually it probably shows just how bad Australia were in that first game to be beaten 4-0 by Germany.

My team, the real football one, which was sitting almost at the bottom of the ladder, has a teeny weeny chance of still making the finals. We have been playing really well and are now in tenth place. We have eight more games to play and if we win six or more we might just scrape in. Having said that we do have to beat the teams at the top of the table so it is just a slight chance.

Not taken much notice of our weather for the past few days, having been living in an air conditioned, thermostatically controlled environment. I can tell you it is freezing again this morning. Our day time temps for the next few days will be between 14 and 17 degrees. Cold between 1 and 5 minimum.

Well keep cool all of you. Hope DET is enjoying her excursion and that she has her keys on a chain around her neck!!

Sorry forgot. LG is the cause of your screen bouncing the fact that you do not have your compatibility view checked under Tools. If you are using Firefox that comment is not relevant. If you are using IE go to Tools and click on compatibility view and the bouncing should stop.

Welcome back Aunty!!

If it makes you feel the tiniest bit better, I locked myself out of my car a few weeks ago and had to call out the rescue team to retrieve them from the boot for me!!

Thank you for the tip. I have adjusted the settings so we will see what happens the next time I post a few paragraphs!! Up to now all is well!! You are brilliant!!

It's time to go and hide under the duvet now. Was going to have another early night, but feel a bit brighter tonight.

Sleep well everyone and have a good day at work Aunty!

Morning all, it's a bit dull here but still mild.

Maz, how many weeks is it to the school holidays?

I'm surprised you've got enough police left to herd the horses back, I thought they'd all be in Rothbury helping in the search.

Evening all. Waddyareckon about white as a shade of nail polish. I can have it in either gloss or primer.

Oh goodness my back and shoulders are sore this morning.

Plumber unable to unblock drain so they are going with plan B which involves putting a cement eating acid in the drain. I expect to go back this morning and find the house a heap of rubble. It should collapse without its foundations.


Hey LG is the Fabulous one playing in the soccer final??? I suppose you will be glued to the screen on Monday (our time)??
