Hi all

today was a Teresia the cleaner day .... made her coffee, then went out to the local mall, had lunch, bought some necessities, and then met OH at the coffee stand there (are you surprised C???). He wanted some new short sleeved shirts ................... plain colours. We could only find ONE white one in his size ....... everything was multi-patterned, sometimes quite grotesquely so!!

Lovely weather today ...... it got to about 25C here at home, probably about 21C officially.

Dear Venerable Robert,

Your presence is requested by your friends who are missing you very much. We are greatly concerned as to your welfare and would appreciate some reassurance that all is well with you.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

With our very best wishes,


and lotsa love.



It's raining and raining....it's so wonderful and we had a storm too! Grandchildren got soaked coming out of school but thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Kids are funny aren't they?


We have always been fortunate with our neighbours wherever we have lived and I am very grateful for that. It must be dreadful to live next door to people who are classed as 'neighbours from hell'.


Grandson asked me tonight how many friends I had. I replied that I probably made a couple of thousand acquaintances over the years but had a small group of real friends. I think he understood bless him.


Well, although OH is now esconced in a Cowboy film, I think the time has come for me to make a move.

Night friends. Cx

Sorry you're cold Susan. Have a good night's sleep.

Yes we are missing you Robert. Please come out of that shell even if it only for a second to let us know you are OK.

Hi Jeannie

Yes I could not believe my luck when Janey popped in ,she is very good.

I am not having much luck I am afraid with that thread,it is a difficult one and my neighbour does not have a lot of info.

I am not sure but I don't think BDM were collected a lot around those areas,likewise with Census records I would think they would have been destroyed in all the wars around that area.

I am off to bed,tired tonight it is cold wet and miserable.
See you all tomorrow.

EDITE
! We are missing you Robert !

Hello everyone.

That's what people need Cynthia. Good neighbours. Well done. Somewhat lacking these days unfortunately. Pop some of that shortbread round to my sister's and she'll forward it on:-))

If I get time later I'll look at your thread Susan but I'm no whiz - just nosey.

Edit: You've got top class researchers on there!

Hi Everyone

Not quite so bad today though it is raining as we speak.

Those shortbread bickess sound lovely but I won't break my diet,I am feeling so much better just loosing 5 kilos.

Frank you do live dangerously,I don't think I would like to face Cynthia and that rolling pin.
I still have my mothers wooden rolling pin,Dad gave it to me when she died in 1982 ,I do not use it but I do treasure it ,my mum was a great cook.

Is there any chance one of you wize genealogist can help me out with my thread request on thread no 1229959

Will be back later.
Suex

ooooOOOOOHH! Frank......well......I'm......stuck for words




[and that doesn't happen very often]


Plenty of shortbread left Jeannie. It was a gift from my next door neighbour - we keep an eye on his house when he is away.


Love to all. Cx

Hi all


Frank certainly does like living dangerously!


not much happening here ...... the temeprature is a much more pleasant 20/21C, with the night going to be about 13C

Hi everyone

Yes, think you are right. Now I know this thread is at the top of the board fail to come on as it doesn't need a nudge.

We've had rain as well Cynthia. Not a downpour but a gentle persistent rainfall which has refreshed the garden no end. Surprising the differences in the weather reports from the four corners!

It's pretty late so I'm off to bed now - fancying a bit of that shortbread.

Jeanie

To she of the bus pass and rapidly inflating circumference,

Has that Robert been smuggling you in some supplies of shortbread on his way back from the cave.

It's just a very good thing that spare tyres are much smaller these days in order that they may be hidden away easilly.
............not sure if that applies to yours of course.

Missed again............ ;)

Hello everyone. It IS quiet isn't it? Maybe it's to do with the thread being stickied as you say Sue. We were all anxious to keep it at the top of the boards maybe. Mind you, I think everyone will still pop by as and when they can.


Congrats on your diet Sue........[sighs.....picks up another piece of shortbread]



Frank! As Sylvia says, you must like living dangerously.......I'll be nipping round to borrow that rolling pin of hers...........actually, yes, I do have a bus pass....and the picture is even reasonably flattering!



Well, it's raining at last....not a downpour, but it's wet. It it stays around for a while it will do the plants the world of good.


Sounds a bit dramatic in Vancouver!! Your weather seems to go from one extreme to another........one minute you're melting and the next you are being blown to bits. Take care of falling branches!!


Off for a mooch. Cx

Hi Everyone

Very quiet today,just finished the dinner dishes.

I think I might have an early night tonight,it has been a busy one .

Catch you all tomorrow.
Suex

Hi Everyone

Sylvia same weather here but temps a bit lower,I have never known it to be so cold in OZ and I have lived here now for 44 yrs.
We did have a bit of sunshine this morning but it is overcast again.

My Diet is going well I have lost 5 kilos so far in four weeks,I am going to get down to about 60 kilos if I can so I can get rid of these Bloodpresure tablets.
Not the weather for walking or I would have lost more,it is not the same riding a bike you do not burn the same calories as walking.

It is a bit quiet on the thread lately possibly due to the sticking of the thread maybe or like Sylvia said we are all too busy.

Grandchildren on school holidays at present so they are poping in every now and then for a drink or a feed with there friends... so I am making sure I have plenty of snacks for them.

Better get some dinner on be back tonight,I wish Robert would come back,I am worried I have scared him off.

Love to everyone
Suex

night all


sleep tight

I think Frank likes living dangerously!!

Now Cynthia,

Just be careful at your age.............don't want to overdo it.

Have you qualified for a bus pass yet ;))

........too late, I've turned off my computer,

Night all. X

Quite right Sylvia. I thought today was going to just drift along.......wrong!


Shopping.......arranged a coach trip for 40 people.......out for lunch......visited friends.......ironing......meeting at someone's house. phew!


I've known quieter days!!


Getting used to the tinkering done by GR. When you send pm's now, I have to include a heading or it doesn't send - maybe you've all noticed it by now. Various little changes here and there I see.


Well, it's been a long day.

Keep smiling everyone. Love. Cx

hope that the fact that no-one has been in yet today means only that everyone is busy


we've had quite a dramatic drop in temperature today!

It clouded over last night, then high winds came in early this morning ..... branches and trees down all over the place.

But the temperature dropped to only about 15C this morning, and it is still only about 21.5C in the middle of the afternoon ............. still with a very strong breeze blowing!

Hi Everyone

We are still ducking the rain wind and hail, at least the water dams are getting some water flowing into them .....that will help get us through summer.

The OH hates going off to work in bad weather,would love to stay around the fire.

Frank !! glad to have you back and what a wonderfull job you are doing for your daughter,she is a very lucky girl.
Waiting to hear the good news anyday then are we,so many babies being born by people I know at present.
I wish Robert would come back,I feel like I drove him away ...I hope I didn'nt.
He must really like that cave.

I found Scotlands people very easy to find people on,but it is all in the spelling this game .

Josie !! so glad you love your job and the people you work with,makes for good working relations if everyone can get along .

Better get some housework done,drying the washing indoors on the drying stand not worth putting it on the washing line.

Patience Cynthia,

I was pulling my hair out............mind you it was covered in paint anyway and I still have plenty of it.

Mostly grey with some satin white and steely blue hues by Dulux ;))

Forgot to say, one of the cats got into the bathroom and jumped up onto the freshly painted window ledge, creating nice little paw prints on the verandah until he was caught.

Patience paid off then Frank! :))






Strange.....thought men didn't have much patience


but then


our Frank is special :)
