I too saw Uggers thread and am felling very sad to hear about Jean. She is such a lovely lady. xxx

Posh you posted as I was typing. That was clever but isn't it always the way - when we have a cut or stitches or whatever we always seem to bump that area constantly.

G'Day to Berona and Posh

Berona, I could have done with that beanie this morning: the wind was fair whistling through my ears.

Posh I have to 'hand' it to you :0))

I haven't gone to sleep, my internet died, back now.

Allan how can the wind whistle THROUGH your ears, surely there's something between them? it can't be hollow......

I don't think fame will alter Sue.........
Nat King Cole had a hit once with -
"Stay As Sweet As You Are - Don't Let A Thing Ever Change You"

Of course Sue is far too youngto remember that song

Hi Berona, Hope you are dancing today

Congratulations, SueSuperstar, I am so glad it went well after your nerves.
Hi Berona, re 2218- I probably would have looked it up next time I needed a postcode at work. I use the auspost web site search tool. Not all thjat far from work actually, just the other side of the airport and a bit further.
Allan, we also are just past new moon; do you think it follows us around? (Joke- I know it does. Even on the other side of the world. It may be upside down there; but it's the same phase.)
Persey, I was wondering whether the southern alps would get pink snow as they did years ago, but in this case South Australia's dust seems to have headed north rather than east. When we were all a LOT younger my grandfather went to NZ for his nephew's wedding, 1962 I think. It was in Tauranga and his first response as a former horse person was about the green grass. No wonder the Kiwis breed such champion horses. Compared to here, NZ is the land of green trees and pointy hills (and some big ones, too).
Back to work after my post breakfast coffee break. I only get on the computer at work when it's very quiet. Blame the GFC, I think.

Hello Tec, Well, maybe not quite dancing - but bright, anyway.

As for Allan - perhaps he was just being truthful??? Allan, we need some rain - but only rain! Not wind!

Allan

Allan Report 23 Sep 2009 23:27

Good morning Colin...it was just a phase I was going through!

Tec, Berona is quite right, nothing in the middle. I had great fun putting my fingers over my nostrils, opening my mouth and making out that I was a penny whistle.

Berona, take your pick, here one day very windy, next day rain then days with high winds and rain: the rain is horizontal

Good Morning Colin,
Hope you are well, don't let them work you too hard.

Allan...... That's Welsh rain.........pleased to hear you are musical, we will need entertainment when you get here to take up your new post.

Berona, glad you're bright today. I saw Sydney on the news, how do you cope with the driving in the city, or don't you. I was amazed by the ariel shot of the road network. Sydney has changed, well it was a long time ago.
I remember when there wasn't a single motorway in Britain.

Hello, Colin - how have you survived the biggest dust storm in 70 years? It was really quite incredible but I'm really glad that the worst thing I get is hayfever so my eyes were sore and itchy yesterday and today but thankfully no respiratory problems. I picked the children up at daycare yesterday and the staff there said they had kept the children inside all day and the children were very unsettled - probably by the wind.

Tec, whilst writing my last post I was reminded of the old blonde joke...

How do you make a blonde's eyes light up?

Shine a torch in her ear!!

A big cuff around the ears, Allan - I'm only a sort of blonde but I defend the rights of all blondes:-))

Must go and get on with the day. Have a great day, Aussies and sleep tight Poms. Alison I hope you don't get too much dust.

Oh dear Allan,
I think you're trying to get us into trouble again - I have purposely not posted any blonde jokes, so as not to incur the wrath of all the blondes on here. Sue isn't blonde, she said, don't know about Berona and the other girls.........

Good joke though lol
