May you slumber peacefully in the lap of the Gods, O Great Regal One. See you at cocktail hour. *and there was singing and dancing and much revelry amongst the Wattlers with the return of their Queen and later on a large festive party will be held in her honour and the Wattlers will be overjoyed and feast on various delicacies and partake in various noble drink* Lew Lew xxx

~~~~~~~~~~~to Trifley, welcome back :) Afternoon all, A party tonight!!!! And I'M GOING OUT!!!! oh the injustice of it all. It's my eldest son and daughter-in-law's graduation at Parliament House tonight!! Got to see the results of putting up with them for three and a half years!! LOL Will drop in when I get back but we are going for dessert afterwards so might be late :( Here's part of a song I remember learing in primary school, Golden wattle, fairy stuff Little balls of yellow fluff See the bees how loud they hum To say they're glad that Spring has come.......... I failed Nanny Class today :( I let Grand-D fall off the swing!!! backwards, she just let go with both hands. Straight on the back of her head - I felt awful. At least it had been raining so the ground was soft. Watched her like a hawk and didn't put her down in her cot for her nap but kept her on the lounge and just watched her sleep. She is perfectly alright and was a bouncy as a cricket. I think I'm more of a wreck! Got to go, back much later Vonny

Ooo Vonny, sorry to hear that. But it wasn't your fault. Kids have accidents. Remember the days when it was okay to skin your knees and elbows and fall out of trees and off swings and it all seemed perfectly normal, and it is! Don't feel bad. Lew xxx

Dont worry girl it happens to all of us at one time or another.. I was babysitting the twin G/daughters and when they got up from their nap I didnt see that the front door was open and the little buggers just walzed out and up the steps of the house hext door. they were about 21/2 so when I coulnt find them I was frantic until I heard them behind some bushes in the next doors garden ..I burst into tears when I went to get them and also when I told my daughter what had happened..

Ooo goody, looks like the party has started. I'll just be having a shiraz with some cheese. Do we have any blue cheese? There's one from Gippsland which is very good. Yes, Mary that's a good distance to walk to the letterbox and I understand the dog coming with me, but the cat? Siamese, they're all crazy. Good songs Anna, you clever thing. Well here's my contribution: You are the sunshine of my life Thats why Ill always be around, You are the apple of my eye, Forever youll stay in my heart I feel like this is the beginning, Though Ive loved you for a million years, And if I thought our love was ending, Id find myself drowning in my own tears. You are the sunshine of my life, Thats why Ill always stay around, You are the apple of my eye, Forever youll stay in my heart, You must have known that I was lonely, Because you came to my rescue, And I know that this must be heaven, How could so much love be inside of you? You are the sunshine of my life, yeah, Thats why Ill always stay around, You are the apple of my eye, Forever youll stay in my heart. Lew Lew xxx

For those who seem to have missed Yvettes reply re the cadavers . . . she is in 4th year of a science degree at Uni of Wollongong !!! That explains why she is in and out so quick . . . has lots on her plate !!! luv Laurie (PS As soon as I clicked the send message - all sorts of replys to my wording above, from Lew came to mind . . . . lol)

Yes, well, all sorts of things come to mind, Laurie. Fanny, in and out, geez you really lead with your jaw with that one, pmsl. And next: Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine I need to laugh and when the sun is out I've got something I can laugh about I feel good in a special way I'm in love and it's a sunny day Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine We take a walk, the sun is shining down Burns my feet as they touch the ground Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine Then we'd lie beneath the shady tree I love her and she's loving me She feels good, she knows she's looking fine I'm so proud to know that she is mine. Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine Lew xxx

Just a little tune to add to the party while I duck off to feed the man . . . with a lovely Margaret River red in hand . . . Mellow Yellow Donovan I'm just mad about Saffron Saffron's mad about me I'm just mad about Saffron She's just mad about me {Refrain} They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly) They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly) They call me mellow yellow I'm just mad about Fourteen Fourteen's mad about me I'm just mad about Fourteen She's just mad about me etc etc . . . luv Laurie

Lyrics by Elton John, but who sang it? So long, boy you can take my place I've got my papers, I've got my pay So pack my bags and I'll be on my way To Yellow River Put my gun down, the war is won Fill my glass high, the time has come I'm going back to the place that I love Yellow River Yellow River Yellow River is in my mind and in my eyes Yellow River Yellow River is in my blood, it's the place I love Got no time for explanations Got no time to lose Tomorrow night you'll find me sleeping underneath the moon At Yellow River Cannon fire lingers in my mind I'm so glad that I'm still alive And I've been gone for such a long time From Yellow River I remember the nights were cool I can still see the water pool And I remember the girl that I knew From Yellow River Lew Lew xxx

Had to drop this one . . . all those other words I never knew about !!! Written by former Louisiana State Governor Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell; This song is one of two official songs for the State of Louisiana. You Are My Sunshine My only sunshine. You make me happy When skies are grey. You'll never know, dear, How much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away The other nite, dear, As I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms. When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken And I hung my head and cried. You are my sunshine, My only sunshine. You make me happy When skies are grey. You'll never know, dear, How much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away. I'll always love you And make you happy If you will only say the same But if you leave me To love another You'll regret it all some day; You are my sunshine, My only sunshine. You make me happy When skies are grey. You'll never know, dear, How much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away. You told me once, dear You really loved me And no one else could come between But now you've left me And love another You have shattered all my dreams; You are my sunshine, My only sunshine. You make me happy When skies are grey. You'll never know, dear, How much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away. Louisiana my Louisiana the place where I was borne. White fields of cotton -- green fields clover, the best fishing and long tall corn; You are my sunshine, My only sunshine. You make me happy When skies are grey. You'll never know, dear, How much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away. Crawfish gumbo and jambalaya the biggest shrimp and sugar cane, the finest oysters and sweet strawberries from Toledo Bend to New Orleans; You are my sunshine, My only sunshine. You make me happy When skies are grey. You'll never know, dear, How much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away.

And a little something from Coldplay; Yellow Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you, And everything you do, Yeah, they were all yellow. I came along, I wrote a song for you, And all the things you do, And it was called yellow. So then I took my turn, Oh what a thing to have done, And it was all yellow. Your skin Oh yeah, your skin and bones, Turn into something beautiful, You know, you know I love you so, You know I love you so. I swam across, I jumped across for you, Oh what a thing to do. Cos you were all yellow, I drew a line, I drew a line for you, Oh what a thing to do, And it was all yellow. Your skin, Oh yeah your skin and bones, Turn into something beautiful, And you know for you, I’d bleed myself dry for you, I’d bleed myself dry. It’s true, look how they shine for you, Look how they shine for you, Look how they shine for, Look how they shine for you, Look how they shine for you, Look how they shine. Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you, And all the things that you do.

Come on you lot, Laurie and I can't do this all by ourselves! *ah ooo, ba ba bah, ah oooo, ba ba bah* (backing singers!) They paved paradise And put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique And a swinging hot spot Dont it always seem to go That you dont know what youve got Till its gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot They took all the trees Put em in a tree museum And they charged the people A dollar and a half just to see em Dont it always seem to go That you dont know what youve got Till its gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot Hey farmer farmer Put away that d.d.t. now Give me spots on my apples But leave me the birds and the bees Please! Dont it always seem to go That you dont know what youve got Till its gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot Late last night I heard the screen door slam And a big yellow taxi Took away my old man Dont it always seem to go That you dont know what youve got Till its gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot

What about a Golden Joke!!!!! SILENCE IS GOLDEN This priest was preparing a man for his long day's journey into night. Whispering firmly, the priest said, 'Denounce the devil! Let him know how little you think of his evil!' The dying man said nothing. The priest repeated his order. Still the dying man said nothing. The priest asked, 'Why do you refuse to denounce the devil and his evil?' The man said, 'Until I know where I'm heading, I don't think I ought to aggravate anybody.'
