Morning all - bewdiful sunny day here today after a storm last night. Everything so crisp and clear. Can see for miles along the waterfront and the Glasshouse Mountains look spectacular. Happy Birthday Heather. Thanks for the thread details Sue. Don't worry Jude, no grass means no mowing !! And I thought the same as Devily. I imagined wonderful mountainous scenery all around. B****y puddy tat. Gunna need more than a 303 Doc. Hi Rebs ~~~~~ Have a brilliant day eveyone Pam

Did butterfly flutter by????? Sorry to disillusion you about the view from my window - but truly - everywhere else is beautiful - I wouldnt swop it for anything .... welllllll .................. Jood

Ohhh Gwenda, you’re up earlier than me!!!! Thank you for your little ditty ! I am at work unfortunately, BUT never mind, last night I had a gorgeous evening at the Performing Arts Centre attending a Bell Shakespeare Coy production of Merchant of Venice with my darling D14, it was excellent and best of all, she had a great time and came home qouth’ing and thee’ing and generally getting right into the language, so I was very satisfied. She wanted to know how you get a job with Bell, and marvelled at how Portia remembered all those lines! I have to be up early tomorrow to, to put DD14 on the bus with 36 school choir mates heading off to NZ for a week. So today I will be supervising the packing. Next weekend, I will have Sunday off – taking OH to Melb on Sat arvo, then we’ll meet DD back from NZ on Sunday night at Tullamarine, and stay in Melb for a shopping day on Monday. OK got to go, it’s taken me two hours to type this in between custyomers! Have a nice day everyone and thanks again for all good wishes Hz in Albury ~~~~~~SNAP Butterfly ~~~~~ clever girl~~~~~~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOL~~~~~~ Have a great Day !!

Thanks for the new list, SuzyQ. Turned into a lovely day in Mudgee. Currently 8c, but the sun is shining. Think I'll settle down on the lounge with my book. Lew Lew xxx

good afternoon to everybody, had a lovely morning until youngest male child alerted me to 'tag' on side of the house. cleaned it off, then went up the street, cleaned off theirs and then more across the road. om questioned my enthusiasm. its called 'community spirit' + 1 tag always encourages more. smell like turps now - won't be able to make scones until i get rid of the smell. i think thats what hes complaining about.

Hi everyone & Happy Birthday Heather Brilliant day here in Ingleburn, have been out for a 2 hr walk with OH and now want to get out in the garden as the weather is just so lovely. Plus hoping my young horticulturist neighbour might again pop his head over the fence and offer more freebie plants!!! Jood I was surprised that you don't get frosts there in Springwood, this year we have had several days of frost, reminded me why I left UK in the first place, as if the temp is not over 25c then I complain I am cold! Trifley, you asked after the colour of the nail polish I had on in the photo - Revlon Perfectly Plum. Bright (out there) polishes are my trade mark, you now what us 'short' people are like, have to do something to draw attention to ourselves...... Will be back later to catch upon all the waffling. Have a good day all. Lyn

Happy Bithday, Heather and Butterfly. Hope that you both have a beautiful day. 21st are always very special. Butterfly, we don't have many of your details. Please email me your email and i will send you a list. Yvette. The list that I sent you was adobe. Lew got hers okay. do you have that program? Well, this will be short and sweet as we are going out. No where special, just on to the coast, probably Paradise Point, walk the dog and then get some fish and chips. Just hope that it isn't too cold. Taking about frost, when we lived in Springbrook mountain, we didn't get frost, but now that we live in a valley we do. I think you also get more frost if there is water nearby. Nice to chat yesterday Trifley. Rebs, glad to hear from you? hope that you are feeling much better now, you are missed. No one to chase for the noughty numbers. Lew what are you reading. How many more sleeps? Mary, did you sell yet, hope you all had a nice mini meet. 13th July is good for me, can kill Jill make it. Hope you are having a good week end Laurie. Safe journey home. Well, I really must go, hi to every one that I have mentioned. Luv SuzyQ

Good afternoon one ‘n all. Haaaaaapppppeeeee birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday dear Hz and Flutteeeerrrrs Happy birthday to yoooooooouuuu Have a wonderful day. Hi Rebs…that was a quick visit ~~waves hi and ‘bye lol. Are you able to get to the GC for the mini meet? The tentative date is Thursday 13th July. We’re waiting to hear from Donna & Kill Jill. Hi Devily….I used to be able to tell the difference in the emergency sirens but then they changed for those silly hee haw ones. One of our neighbours has 2 malamutes and when they hear a siren (often before we humans do) they howl. They sound better than the sirens…lol Vonny…~~~~~waves towards Canberra. Is John on the improve? Lew Lew….don’t forget to water the tree fern from the top until it becomes established then you can water it from the top…pmsl :-) Only 5 sleeps…is that right? Cat person….pinching another number…you wanna be careful, I’ve heard aunty Lew is a crack shot with a 303. Hows the assignments going? Joodles…aahhh the Blue Mountains….a wonderful place to live. Where we were, in Winmalee, we had trees and all sorts of birds. Even had an Albert’s Lyrebird in the back yard one time. It’s probably all built out now, which means most of the animals will be out too. Pam…while I was taking Mark into the GC last night we saw all the lightning up your way. Quite a spectacular show. You have my vote for joining the WattleLotto. It costs $20 each time you buy a ticket….which is only about once every 17/18 weeks. If we see who else wants to join then we can send all the info off at the same time. Yvette….very civic minded of you girl, bloody graffitists. How would they like it if someone ‘tagged’ their home? Now get that smell washed off you and start making those scones! It’s almost afternoon tea time and I’m hungry…lol. Lyn…Perfectly Plum….almost describes me..heee heee :-))) I draw attention to myself by wearing a tiara. I think your nails are a more practical way…pmsl. I’m tootling off to a Harvey Norman sale at Carara stadium this afternoon. You never know what bargains they might have on offer. The clouds have come over again so I’d better rug up. It looks as if it’s going to be a cold, damp drive. I’ll let you know if I snag a bargain. A most regal ~~~~~~~~wave to you all. Love Trifley X Hi SuzyQ...fish & chips overlooking the beach...what a pleasent way to spend an afternoon....enjoy yourselves. The 13th is looking good for the mini meet. Graeme said if he has a late enough start that day he'll come to the casino and have lunch before he goes to work....I'll turn him into a Wattler yet..pmsl TX

Afternoon Wattlers, Vonny, Mary and I had a lovely lunch - joined by Mary's lovely granddaughter who didn't think we were all nuts - maybe she was just polite tho - pppppp Lots of talking and laughing and that was before we looked at the menu so you can imagine the rest of the meet. Was only a short time together because Vonny had another meeting but I think we packed heaps into that hour and 40 minutes that mere mortals would have struggled with plus we ate as well. Pickles will follow when Mary gets home so you'll have to be patient until then. Happy birthday to Butterfly too - hope you're having a good day too. Mary should be home by now - she was walking home in the glorious sunshine we've turned on - BTW Mary that was my OH that tooted. Not used to being home this early on a Sunday so don't have a clue how to amuse myself - NOT will pop in and out for the rest of the arvo I guess Gwenda

Good afternoon Wattlers Happy birthday to you Hapy birthday to you Happy birthday Heather and Flutters Happy birthday to you. Hip, hip hooray!! Many happy returns! I notice that wretched cat came back - perhaps we could set a cat trap ........ Heaven only knows what we would do with the wretched creature if we caught it - I'll have to look up my manual on '101 things to do with a cat.' I wonder how the little meet in Canberra is going - no doubt chins are wagging and jaws are in overdrive! Hope you had lots of fun girls! Rebs - thanks for dropping in and letting us know you are OK - we do worry about you, you know. Are you going to catch up with Lara? Heather - hope your DD has a fantastic time in N.Z. How special to be able to go to the Merchant of Venice with her. 'How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank. Sit, Jessica.' and 'My daughter, my daughter, my daughter and my duckets!' Amazing how the lines come back from high school days! Hope you enjoy your little trip to Melbourne and belt the fantastic plastic around a bit! Only fitting for a 21 year old! Looking a bit like rain so had best rescue the washing off the line. Talk to you all later Anna

Hi everyone, Happy Birthday to Heather and Janet. Well Iv'e had my say, we were just standing chatting about old times, nobody else could hear us so I mentioned the incident and he bl--dy well couldn't remember it! he said during those years he wasn't totally sober that often, the years of the long lunches all put on the expense account, but he appologised so I left it at that. I know he's not a happy man and he suffers from mild depression occaisionaly (sp) I will pass on his appology to L tomorrow. For the first time this year I haven't had my dogs injected against heartworm, I'm so glad now after reading the warning. July 13 sounds okay to me for the mini meet luv Jill (not going to Kill) Jill xx

Thanks everyone for the bday meassages........Suzy I have pn you okay......I love being um err 25 does that pass for age wise. Love and Laughter to you all Janet

Hi Jill...glad the birthday boy at least had the decency (sp) not to completely deny the event. How did the rest of the party go? The 13th is looking good....all we have to do is keep fingers X'd that the date fits in with Donna. I'm off to the sale....'byeee Trifley X

well i should be saying happy birthdays it seems.birthdays are great if you get to spend them with the nicest people. i've realised that the nicest people must all join in with you wattlers. can't get in the swing of combining messages in one post but i will try. i love food, golly i love food, i can smell the vinegar on those chips. found a way to get rid of the turps smell - chuck out the rubber gloves i used. upstairs for thinking. instead of scones i made litlle lemon polenta cakes out of the delicious magazine. is 12 enough for a taste each? i found the magazine on the road the other day when i was walking so picked it up. i'm going to be game and put up a new thread for yummies that take less than an hour. hopefully will get some good multicultural treats to experiment on. will post the recipe for the lemon cakes - they're a bit wicked but filling love yvette
