Good Evening Linda, Diane, Barbra,

Linda....... Hi Super Sleuth, I could have told you it was Barbra, saved you all that back tracking. I too have been wondering how Berona got on with her difficult task. I hope her lady turned up, and something resolved.

Diane....... Hope you had more of a rest today.

Barbra.......... In answer to your question, yes people still have coal fires here, though many have wood burning stoves. There is no mains gas in this village, but I have an LPG tank, and have gas central heating. We do have two open fireplaces that still function. I like to have a real fire occassionally in the winter evenings.

Hi Tec
I don't know how long it took Linda to find the pg but it took me quite some time, why didn't you speak up sooner
Today was less hecktic thank's, did the usual arrived at work at 8-30am getting Neil up, dressed and some ironing for his mum and then we took him out for a few hrs, got back home around 4-15pm.

Diane

Hello everyone,
It must be getting warmer in Oz becasue it is getting colder int he UK. I had to put my fire on and I had some soup to warm me up.
It's Sunday evening here!

It only took me a couple of minutes to find it Diane, I had a rough idea where it was.

It has been a nice autumn day here, but I have the central heating on a s well Pat, i can't do with being cold, but OH complains that it is too hot in the house

Hi Pat, not seen you post for a while, how's you hun
yes it is getting colder, I put a pair of glove's on to go to work this morning.
We had a bit of rain but it only lasted for about 20mins then the rest of day was overcast.

Linda I wasn't sure how far back it had been said, I knew I had read it but just wasn't sure how long ago. It was only 2dys ago but was 12pgs back, just show's how much nattering goe's on on this thread.

Diane

Hello all (now becoming too may for my addled brain to remember)

Well done on the detective work, but it proves how we skim through the posts as Barbra did say yesterday that it was her who referred to howard and Marina.

I think that it was shortly after you reposted the link, Linda.

I hope that Berona did not have too dificult a time yesterday.

Well after the one hot day on Saturday now back to strong winds...but at least it is pleasantly cool.

Allan

Good evening Allan, I am sure that your brain isn't addled, tha tis my prerogative these days

Do you think that Berona has been taken hostage by her neighbour?

Good evening Linda.

Too much red wine! I really did enjoy the pictures on the link but Howard and Marinamust have been after my time in the UK, I have no recollection of them at all.

And I wouldn't know what colour hair 'my' young lady has as she wears a baseball cap :0))

Allan

Mmm...I think that we should put the SAS on standby for Berona just in case

Allan

Hi Allan, you should be more alert at this time of day than Linda and I, were at the end of our day ,your's has just began lol
Maybe the women has Berona all tired up and trying to sell her putta to raise the money to pay the dept, pity she won't get much for it Berona has to kick it to get it started doesn't she lol

Diane

Hello Barbra

The high heels are just a fashion statement...the pinnie is a requirement :0))

Allan

I am currently sipping a very palatable red. Aussie of course, just Wolf Blass cab sav. Only yellow label as I can't afford the black label

Hello Diane

My OH has a broomstick like that..it has to be kick-started before she can travel anywhere!!

I'm still not fully awake, it's only 5.37am here

Allan

One day your OH may read this Allan, I would love to be a fly on the wall if she does

Hi Barbra, we wern't talking about you behind your back, ( just in case you have read the post put up ) Linda and I just couldn't remember who had put the post up about Allan re- morning walk's ect.

Diane

The ones I like have no labels! Usually sold as Cleanskins but come from the Margaret River region.

You can add $20.00 to the price of a labelled bottle if it comes from the Magical Margeret River area..vastly overpriced and overrated.

I usually buy cask wine but find it too drinkable Hic!

Allan

Me too Linda, do you think he'd have any ear's or brain cell's left when she had finished with him lol

Diane

Linda, my OH often pops in to see what I'm doing..hence my two permanent black eyes!

Allan

No labels? We call that paint stripper here.

The yellow label Wolf Blass is fairly pricey here, but I like the cab sav,so I look for it on special offer then but a load. Not that I am an alcoholic you understand, we usually only have a couple of bottles a week. Most days I don't drink at all. well only water or coffee

No, I havent' been taken hostage - but after talking to her yesterday, I did hit the Panadol!
Do you know what it's like to talk to someone who thinks they know YOUR language, and yet, you can't understand what they are saying? and as if the pronunciation isn't bad enough - the past, present and future tenses get all mixed up?....hence the Panadol!

I think I managed to get through to her that legal action is imminent if she doesn't pay something very soon and pay something regularly to get up to date. I really don't think she can afford to keep that house and my heart goes out to her, but I will only be reporting back that she intends to try and hope that they hold off and give her a little more time.

We talked about a lot of things - again with her using her twisted grammar - for instance - she had told me she was an only child - also, she has never been married - and yet, she spoke of her brother-in-law in New Zealand. I can't remember what she said about him - I was trailing behind trying to work out how she could have no sister and never married, yet have a brother in law? This is just typical of how I spent more than two hours trying to keep up with her.
