Happy Xmas everyone,I am just off to my neighbours for lunch.
Love to you all

Survived Christmas Day,

Hopefully have lost some weight due to the perspiration and the fact that I hardly ate anything due to the heat.

It was a very hot sunny day with the temp getting to 28C.

We had dinner in the evening and had a simple lettuce salad, potato salad with Glazed baked Ham and rolled pork loin with stuffing.

For dessert we had my 'made up on the spot ' version of trifle
sponge cake soaked in jelly then chilled , cut into squares, then set strawberry jelly with slices of strawberry piled onto a sponge square in a parfait dish then another thin square of sponge then cold custard poured over top and finally garnished with a couple of slices of Strawberry and a mint leaf. Then chilled. Did not bother with cream because of the heat.
We ate dessert about an hour after our meal and it was enjoyed by all.

I was spoilt this Christmas with my daughter giving me a gold ticket to Cliff Richard's concert here in Wellington at the end of Jan.
Can't wait!

I am a huge fan of Cliff's and a couple of years ago travelled to Auckland with my OH to see him perform with the Shadows on their farewell tour.
At that time I thought it might be the last time I would get to see Cliff so was excited when I found out earlier that he was touring NZ.

I also got Susan Boyle's latest album which is lovely. looking forward to being able to see her in concert if she ever comes to NZ.

Have got the day to myself today as OH and his Brother have travelled to Wanganui [3 hours] to watch Motor Bike Races that are run on a street circuit and held every Boxing Day.
My first cousin Eddie used to ride professionally until an accident while racing in Japan, caused him to retire from the sport. However he decided to come out of retirement and has been racing again for the last 3 years in the 'Old Foggies' Class :-D :-D
So OH will be hopefully catching up with him again this year.

I hope all of you survived Christmas and that Santa was kind to you.


Would gladly send you some heat Sally if I could bottle it :-D

It is not normally as hot as this in Wellington in Dec we usually get heat like this in Feb. I t's supposed to be raining today, The blue sky I woke up to, has now turned to cloud making it very oppressive and muggy.
but just as I am writing this the Sun has suddenly pushed it's way through the clouds and is pouring in the window, which like every other window in my house is wide open.
Time for another cup of tea.
Take care catch you all later Josie :-) :-) :-) <3 <3 <3

I forgot......... :-(


I meant to wish Ven. Robert a very happy birthday on Christmas Day. It's been so long since we've heard from him but I didn't want him to feel forgotten.

If you're looking in Robert, I hope you had a lovely day......... <3



Christmas sounded a bit hot Josie...... :-D It was mild here with no snow thank goodness!


All went well - my son cooked for 17 and the meal was lovely. We came home at tea time and had a quiet evening....... :-D


The boards have been very quiet so I've been doing some more tree research etc.

Hope everyone else had a good day ...... however they spent it...

Love to all....Cx <3

HI Everyone

It has been very hot here this year 36c on the 25th and it has gotten hotter as the week goes on .
Today it is 37 here but Perth is having 41 today now that is hot .

We have lived on cold meat and salads over the Christmas period and tonight they are saying thunder storms are expected YUK!

It sound like you all had a great Christmas now we just have to get through the New year then it starts all over again.

We are looking after the Grt Grandaughter today and we have taken her into the pool for a dip ..she loves it ,we got her a little ring to sit in ,she is much cooler now but we have to keep a watch on the Hot Sun so as not to let her get burnt.

We have more visitors on there way for a swim no doubt...at least the pool gets used at this time of the year.

Drop in later tonght

Suex <3 <3 <3

Happy holidays Robert ...I do hope you and your wife are well <3

Happy birthday Robert - Hope all is well & your Shell is waterproofed

Its raining hard AGAIN today - i think we will all have webbed feet in the new year.

Can you send some of the excess warm & sunshine over here please

Lovely to hear you all had a good time at Christmas

Hi everyone,
Have seen on the news the flooding in the UK and Snow Blizzards in the US, am glad I live in NZ even if it is a little on the Hot side at the moment.

Today is overcast and at the moment around 19C a lot more comfortable but very high humidity.

Am in a better mood this morning after being able to finally access my Tree,

Kept getting an error message all day yesterday. I can't believe Genes still can not get it right,last Christmas I couldn't add to my tree, this Christmas couldn't even open it :-| :-|

Managed to spend 50 free credits FMP sent me to use on their site as this is 'Start your Family Tree Week'.
Wasted over half of them as My great grand Uncle Benjamin Wright, very conveniently disappeared with his Wife and Daughter after I found them in the 1851 Census.
Finally had a breakthrough this morning and discovered the Family emigrated to Australia between 1851-1861.

Back to my Research,
Catch you all later, Josie :-) :-) :-) <3 <3 <3

Hi, where is everyone :-(

Well it's only 36 hours and it will be 2013,
All the Sunshine we had at Christmas has gone and we now having a week of overcast skies, showers and gale force winds. the temp has dropped back to around 22C but with high humidity it is very muggy.

Wishing you all a peaceful and Happy New Year ;-)

Catch you all in 2013 :-) :-) :-) <3 <3 <3

Josie - YOU ARE NOT ALONE

I have been popping in & out - just had a few too many errors to want to type it all in all over again

Hello Sally,

When you have your tree opened look on the RIGHT SIDE of Page, in the TOP

CORNER, look down below SEARCH TREE then below some over Icons, you

will see a Small BOX WITH 2 ARROWS , Click on these ARROWS AND a

Panel will slide out with the details of your Person then SCROLL DOWN


and you will see all your notes.

You must click on the BOX of the Person you want to check out first , on

the main page other wise you will not get the Notes for the right Person

when you Click on the ARROWS.

Hope this makes sense and helps you to get into you tree.

Josie

Hi Sue and everyone


I wish you all a Happy, Prosperous, and Healthy New Year.


We got home from our trip yesterday (Wednesday), and are still trying to sort everything out .............. plus, I have come down with a rotten cold and cough. I feel terrible!


We had a good time overall, although there were some very uncomfortable periods while with my daughter, caused by the son-i-l. We almost moved to a hotel at one point.


Talk about a small world ........................ everyone chats on the trains, one of the very nice things about train travel.

OH chatted to an Australian, found out he was an academic, and then that they knew about 9 people through their research! Contact will be maintained.

Later, we chatted to a couple from BC, charming pair ........... turned out the woman was a family doctor, had trained at the Family Practice clinic we go to, and is still connected with them. She was interested in hearing of the writing workshops that OH does, ad in the ethics he does ................ contact will be maintained!



Contact will be maintained with you lovely people :-D :-D :-D



take care everyone

ooooer....realised I haven't popped in here for a few days.... :-(


To be honest, the week between Christmas and New Year is best ignored by me. My daughter finds it all very difficult to handle as she has a birthday in that week. It's just all toooooooo much for her and so, I have that to deal with.


Christmas was okay - lunch at son's was lovely.

Ignore the week until New Year's Eve.


We went to bed at our usual time and I didn't even hear the clocks strike 12 :-D


Things are looking up now that the festivities are over and done with. Normal service will be resumed. :-D :-D :-D


There do seem to have been a lot of errors for people on here over the week but I guess I am fortunate in that I only encountered it a couple of times.


I am fine with the tree now - it just takes some getting used to and have been doing some research to take my mind off things going on around me ;-) ;-)


Hope Sylvia feels better soon and love to all........Cx <3 <3
