Such a beautiful poem and appropriate for this thread, well thats what I though anyway There are days when bubbling from us comes the innocent child within, who giggles at the little things and wears a silly grin. There are days when melancholy comes to visit for a while; the mind feels tired, the body weak; we have no strength to smile. There are days when joy abundant grabs a hold of you and me; wraps us up in all it's splendor, lifts us up and sets us free. There are days when sorrow wraps us in its cloak of grief and fear, 'till our hearts ache to the breaking, 'till our eyes can't shed a tear. There are days when love bestows us with its wonderment and light; with its beauty and its mystery, its power and its might. And there are days when life rewards us and seems to make amends by granting us a marvelous gift, the precious gift of Friends. Shaz

GR seems to have a glitch, its taking ages for it to load, just read my last entry, sounds like I'm chatting up Julie. heres the next bit Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl! How charmingly sweet you sing! O let us be married! too long we have tarried: But what shall we do for a ring?' They sailed away, for a year and a day, To the land where the Bong-tree grows And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood With a ring at the end of his nose, His nose, His nose, With a ring at the end of his nose. I love this soo much, almost as much as the drovers dream Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling Your ring?' Said the Piggy, 'I will.' So they took it away, and were married next day By the Turkey who lives on the hill. They dined on mince, and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible spoon; And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon, The moon, The moon, They danced by the light of the moon. Where are you going when the boat is finished? Bye for now Love Yvette - 48 hours will be nearly at central

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea In a beautiful pea green boat, They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five pound note. The Owl looked up to the stars above, And sang to a small guitar, 'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are, You are, You are! What a beautiful Pussy you are!' Boat building sounds good, bed sounds good although I haven't been up for too long i could easily sleep for a few more hours, Sweet dreams Julie love Yvette x

Naughty nails lol ;-) Night night ~~~~~~~~~~to Yvette, Vonny and whoever else is still around :-)

Well, it might be sunny but I've just hung the washing out and it is freeeeeeezing outside! Wind factor. Yvette, so glad you now have cense.:) Hz, my congrats to your daughter also. Know what it's like living with a drama queen. My youngest took drama as a double major in college. We had drama running out our ears :) btw College in ACT = yrs 11 & 12. It's so nice to have them involved in good activities. Was going to do some gardening but that was before I knew about the wind. maybe later. Oh, I may have given the wrong impression about the boat because of the picture - both of us are working on the planks :) and John has the hardest part as he is underneath putting the copper washers over the nails and banging them into place. My job is just to keep the nails in place and hit them if they move :) - which they do, every time! Vonny

Yvette I may be a good age but unless it's the immaculate conception it aint going to happen just yet lolol :-)

Naa, 35 weeks total . unis are slack , you go like a lunatic for 13 weeks and then revert to a normal person. Its like doing big shift work, or having a manic personality. after the 13 weeks you get so much time off its a joke. so. 9 weeks this year, 13 for next autumn and 13 for next spring. It is the child with the cold, he's watching red dwarf, playing guitar and coughing like a dog. amazing, ddin';t hear him cough once last night. He likes school though, so isn't fudging. Julie, you are still at a good age to have another baby! awww love Yvette

Good morning Wattlers A beautiful day on the Bay, the sun is shining, the water is all sparkly, temp not bad if you stay out of the breeze, and all looks good !! There is a Block of Flats (Container ship with a high load) making its way to the docks, there are three giraffes with their head up, and there is another tug sitting out near the heads, so they must be expecting another ship to arrive soon. Last night the moon was brilliant, it lit up the bay like a disco ball - when we got back from dinner, we rugged up in the big coats and sat out on the balcony with a cuppa - twas lovely! I just got pickles from my friend Deb in Kent - she and her family have had a holiday on Corfu . . . Looks stunning, all blue & white !! Come on summer !! Where is Sue ??? No sleeps count posted yet ???? Oh I forgot, we are into hours and minutes now - lol Our Great Trifley one is off for the little pricks today, relaxing will be the hard part, but if she can do that it will be a breeze - just no martoonis after or we will have the human fountain thing happening! How are you this morning Joodles - did you start on those antibiotics yet ??? Heather please pass on my congrats to DD also, its obviously something she loves to do - does she plan on a career move that way ?? Just talking to Oni out at WW and she said it is freezing out there with high winds coming straight up from the south - so hopefully that will all pass by the weekend and we get the earlier predicted weather - want it nice for the weekend. Yvette - sounds like a good excuse for a party to me . . . glad you got your sense sorted (lol) . . . I think you have been studying too hard girl, pregnancies ??? Well I have some jobs to do out this morning, but will check in later and see what you are all up to cheeers luv Laurie

Graduation day 5th April Fanny (or that week) ??? Is this the son with the cold who is sick? Looks like a nice sunny day outside, not a cloud in the sky not a breath of wind - not even a girafffe in sight (ho ho) I bet Laurie's view is glorious today. Hardly anyone around today - they must all be doing h******k - how could they???? Jood

Seeing as my kids are 12 and 13 I think we can rule out the grandchild pmsl :-)

yeah, could nearly get pregnant and be due to a baby in that amount of time, well I suppose a grandchild anyway :-)) the mind boggles stranger things have happened. Gee you stay up late Julie love yvette x

HI Yvette :-) Not sure what I'll be doing or where I'll be in 35 weeks pmsl ;-)

hello Wattlers. Youngest child is still unwell, so I decided to stay home with him this morning until oh gets home from work. This arvo is anatomy so I'll do a double dose of that. The idea is to do some research and other homework as oppose to h*******k. We haven't much in the cupboard but we won't starve. Gee, when I graduate you will all have to come, (only 35 weeks left to go- ha) it seems so close after starting in 2002 Weather is beautiful - to look at. the wind is frrresh SE although the sun is out. Real lipsaver stuff. the lovely census lady came this morning, she was one that you could easily spend breakfast time with having a yak. She gave me some extra yellow cards to give to other people in our town that missed out. How nice. I was wondering if Raggy Bear brought her fur coat with her, she could need it today. I suppose she is in Perth now. ooo, and i did love the Greek, what a laugh love Yvette

Morning all, and a lovely day it is too. I have a free day today (cheers). trouble is, no excuse not to do HW :( have to shop for food soon too as the cupboard is awfully bare. ~~~~~~~to Lew Lew. Of to play games, back later, Vonny

Morning Folks. Trifley, it was so lovely to hear your news. You deserved some of the good stuff. Well done babe.....must have been all those martoonies !!! Folks, can l ask you not to send me any emails at the moment please. For some reason l can't connect to incredmail, so untl l fix the problem can't receive any new stuff. Ta !!!

Hi Jood ;-) I clicked on the x button asap but she still got a glimpse lol.

Ooooer cat - that greek thing took me by surprise also lol - were you able to pass it off? ~~~~~~~ to Lew Lew who passed through here while we were all asleep. Have a good day everyone Jood

Afternoon everyone :-) Laurie I put my name in that greek email thingy that you sent and clicked on the button just as my daughter, Jess, walked into the room pmsl. I did click on the red x to get rid of it but not quickly enough pmsl. She wants me to tell you that it's verrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy rude pmsl :-)

Yes, well thank you, you bunch of Wafflers!!!! I'm off the air for one blasted day and it's taken me forever to catch up, lol. Trifles, I'm soooooooo pleased about your news. You must be feeling wonderful. Weather in Bright isn't too bad. Mudgee's actually colder at present, Go figure! Did you see me waving to you today, Heather? Well, it's very late, or should I say very early (1.15am), so I'll try and catch up tomorrow. Seeya Lew Lew xxx

Hi, had to read read read read, I presume from the joyous nature of the thread that your 'Glowing Highness' had a great day today, apart from trying to access coffee. I have no big nasty mongrels. One is old and has a heart prob. the other is young and 'fragile' The cense-less coordinator rang me tonight and she will bring me a form in the morning. she sounded so nice I wanted to invite her for breckie. not really, we rush about too much then. Its only 3 sleeps to sydney. yeah!! I don't have a camera though, i'm a bit absent minded and tend to lose things, (keys, purse, bag, car,camera, kids) so I use disposables cameras. Can bring one of those. I think you must have got the sleepy bug from my kisses to you Jood. youngest male child has it too and spent the best part of today in bed reading. didn't dampen his appetite though. Have shoved stacks of echinacea and vitamin c into him and warned him of the woes of a sedentary lifestyle. back to school tomorrow After considering gwendas cake i finally relented and bought a hazelnut praline kitkat, yum. PMS you can eat anything you like to keep your attitude sweet. Off to read a chapter of a 'very nice text ' Hot water bottle already installed, 'fragile dog' is looking after it for me. goodnight love Yvette x
