Irene good niiiiight Irene good night Good night Irene Good niight Irene I'll see you im my dreams Trifley sings slowly and gently (if a little off key) as she wonders up the hall to her bed.

Good luck Australia in the World cup match today!! I do support England but retain a soft spot for friends down under!! Love, Anne :)))

Good evening Wattlers . . . I'm back in the land of giraffes!! Sad to leave Qld - had to pull out the winter woolies as soon as I got in the door - was lovely and warm up home! I got lots of jobs done before I left, the boys have till we go home next to sort out there stuff - then its off to the tip!! Sorry your not well Rebs, like everyone else is saying plenty of fluids and rest. Watch out Lew - Terry will be able to hear all now - just hope he wears them, not like most guys who do a Tiger with them and expect them to work from the glove box! Boy those days have gone quickly . . . seems only yesterday you made the announcement. Just think when you give up going to the office every day you will be able to be the queen on the meets all over the country. Oh Great Trifley one, dont give up the singing . . . . good for the sole! Hi Joodles, your sounding heaps better - got the spring in the words again! Goodonyah! Lara, if you see me out on the road, hitching, trying to get north again - be a love and give me a lift, I just told the lovely Ray how I am suffering to be with him. Scumbag came back with a reply along the lines of me being here to make him suffer! That cost him two more certs this week! And they wont be his family! Very sad to read the Lems came unstuck at the wrong time - Tony, have you had some flack for being on the Wattle thread ??? Let us at em' if you have and we'll sort them . . . It may be the Wattle thread, but its, really just a fancy name for the Tony fan club ! Can you tell me please when I have to buy the Lotto for and I will get it this week if I can . . . I'm a bit confused (normal) - Mary has brought this weeks that would have been mine I think . . . What week did Jude get ???? I got GR mail on the weekend, from my first cousin Pat, who I haven't had contact with for over 30 years. Delighted I am, she spent a lot of time with my gran Kate, so I am looking forward to hearing some stories. We moved to Queensland, and lost touch so I hope we can get together soon and swap info, news and stories. Hi Pam, I can't call Sydney a real home . . . I'm just on holidays (teehee) Anyway best get off here and get some sleep will talk to you all tomorrow cheers luv Laurie

G'night Johnboy xxx

CONGRATULATION all you footy fans, on AUSSIE winning 3- 1 Good on ya Babs x x x

Well done the Ausies... really good match!! Anne :)))

Morning Peeps !!! Is everyone home and recovered now? hey, apparently we won a game of football. that's 1 out the way.

Hey - that's great news, we won!!! .. Game is on too late for me. Didnt have a clue what you were talking about Vonny .. Wums & Trolls (wotever they are) .. then I realised it was Lemon .. Has she been bad again? Oh by the way guys, I wrote to GR and suggested that we down here in the sarf (as Tony would say) be able to have EST time on our clocks, - they have acknowledged me and noted my suggestion .. so who knows? Off to have me hot shower (the girl on Channel 9 would have said 'hot shah') Jood

*Sings* Good morning to you Good morning to youuu Good morning dear Wattlers Good morning toooo youuuuuuu Wakey wakey, rise'n shine Jood

Shhhh !! Not too loudly, I've been up all night.

Ooooops .. sorry. .. Have you been watching the soccer?

*tiptoes away quietly grumbling 'everyone stayed up late last night'* Jood

Good Morning Wattlers, Hey Joodles, I've been up since 4.45am, had to take the lovely Ray to the airport - he is back in Steak & Kidney now - I have the sunshine for the rest of the day and fly south at 6.15pm. Rebs, what you doing staying up all night ?? Hope you been behaving !!! Sun taking a little longer to warm up the world this morning, but still not what I would call cold! Jeans t shirt & thongs the uniform of the day! Ray and I worked ourselves crazy yesterday, I raked up twigs & branches for the first couple of hours then - while I had a scrub of the verandahs, his nibs cleared out gutters. Then the lovely Ray decided to hop on the ride on mower - first go round the fence line and he ran over a water pipe and sliced it! So I got the comfy seat on the mower while he did running repairs - he had bluckeys chance of getting me off once I was settled. Yard looks fabulous this morning, once I got rid of the weeds, most of my plants are doing fine. I tried to get the chrissy lights down - but they are melted onto the roof - but thats OK - I'm getting a new roof! Found great big dints in the roof from a hail storm earlier in the year, so along with half the neighourhood we are in for a new roof on the house and garage, and new garden shed. These few days here and we dont want to sell our house . . . . its ours again - no son in charge - just ours and we haven't gotten over the place as we thought we had - its such a lovely place to live. I'm going to look into subdividing and sell off the back paddock so we haven't got so much to look after, and the lovely Ray says he will take four day weekends every four weeks and we will come home so that will be fabulous! We drove in to Glens house last night and had a family dinner - the kids cooked a roast. We slept over so we would be closer to the airport this morning, and had a lovely time turning lights on and leaving them on . . . I'm back out home now, with just a few more jobs to do before I call it quits. I have thoroughly enjoyed my few days up here - a bonus to be here for the meet. Yes I was very quiet at the meet - I always am - I sit back and take it all in (hehehe) - will let you know when the book is to be published! Actually truth of it all . . . I couldn't get a word in . . . . Shaz & I were taking notes though weren't we girl !!! Will catch you all from Sydney later cheers for now luv Laurie

Morning all, Had a sleep in cos I did stay up and watch our boys win - last 6 or so minutes were triffic. Before my OH showed me how to get on net - now you can't get me off - I used to waste hours playing Tapei - always played them numerically. Then son had a SNES and I'd get hooked on a couple of games there and that would be more hours wasted - so think I've also got an addicitive streak too Laurie - sounds like you've found your 'retirement home' and you had it all along. Lara - today's the day you get your van. Hope you're feeling better this morning - bad luck about the footy - not - I'm a red and blue girl myself. Tony - is Barb still grinning - good for her Jood - how are you doin - not overdoing the Mahjong - lol Hi Rebs did you stay up ALL night or just to the end of the soccer Off to the shower, brekky & HW in that order Be back later Gwenda

Good Morning All, Only -5 degrees here again this morning (hard frosts for a week now), clear skies, bitter cold. Woke up to excited radio announcer with the soccer news, it's been interesting seeing the supporters come out of the woodwork in a very rugby, AFL orientated town, I'm partial to a bit of soccer so will watch the replay's a bit, not silly enough to stay up all night!! Gotta go, we're always busy after a long weekend...keep warm everyone, Hz in Albury

Morning Heather Nice man on radio told me at 6 am that it was -6 here - another reason not to get up tooooo early today At least the sun is shining & frost slowly thawing. Have a great one

Good Morning Wattlers, Has everyone recovered from Brisvagus or do some of you need a few more days!!!!!!!! lol. Trifley, my grandson just turned 1, and no i missed his first solo step, but no doubt i will get to chase him around often enough to get over missing the first one hehe. Lara have you collected your van ye?. Ours has been away getting some repairs from our last disasterous trip. It has taken so long for them to finish fixing it they stopped answering their phone in case it was me lol. I was beginning to get a bit short with them and in the end told them that we would be collecting it in two days wether they had finished or not, that got some action. Now i am packing it to go to Barham this weekend. Have a good day all. Take care Wilson

Hi to everyone, hope you are all feeling better now. Well done in the Cup but you have a hard team to beat next...good luck carolb

Morning Wafflers A quick hello then I have to finish the washing....yuuucck. But Graeme is hanging it all out for me so that saves a lot of time. Isn't he sweet? My voice has improved today....not quite so croaky. My family has banned me from singing at home for ever (Graeme said to put that in) so my voice is getting a rest. Be back later. ~~~~~~~~~waves to all you poor peeps who are having cold weather. Must go and open another window heee heee. love Trifley X
