Hey Lew has the postie been yet?

Afternoon Wafflers, special hi to Tanya, who has probably been scared off by Trifleys description of herself as the sane one...lol Glad all the travelers had a good weekend, cant wait to see the pics, which will be on the office puter, when I go in on wednesday. Those of us who stayed behind managed to amuse ourselves but its good to see you all back. Now whoever is doing the raindance you are pointing it in the wrong direction. We had enough yesterday and now its pouring again on all my washing....rrrrrr Hey Rebs if you've got George Clooney comming to the meet I'm on the list for Brisbane...lol or Richard Gere or Liam Neson or....... Jude2....must go and change name back

We're only joking Rebs, we wouldn't do that to you . . . Just to prove it . . . . That little parcel for you should be there tomorrow - Gleno can't pick it up today because of your public holiday cheers luv Laurie

Ooo Laurie, I'm sure we can think of something!! Will have to pm you so she doesn't get any hints! Lew lew x

Afternoon Wilson - you can thank me for the rain . . . As we were driving up in the rain my neice rang - told me to send it out to West Wyalong - I told her no, she has her crops all in - I'm taking it to Golbourne to Wilson . . . didn't come any further north with me - so was hopeing you got some. Fingers crossed that hubby is soon back on the tractor going round and round OK girls, heads together for something to spring on the Rebs if she is going that path . . . . Back to the darn ironing board - and the packing of the Lovely Rays bags cheers luv Laurie

Hi Laurie......ta for the photos. You all look as if you had a fun time. Hi Tony.........made it home safe I see. Barb is going to love her photo heee heee. At least her hair looks good! Hi again Tanya.......sorry, should have introduced my self properly. My name is Dianne but I get called Trifley (among other things) by the Wattle lot. It's a long story about sherry, wine trifle and my birthday but I wont bore you with it now. I cruise the GR site in a Royal Barge with my Nubian man-servant, Nefer and his 6 brothers. When I'm not playing a pharaoh queen I can be found on the Gold Coast with my hubby & son. And Lew Lew.....I'm not paranoid......I just think everyone's against me..haa haa :o) Luv Trifley

Afternoon Wattlers, Sounds like you all had a lovely time in Yarra, I hope i can get to the next meet. Welcome Tanya, you have found a good thread, nice people, some are a bit crazy, but that only makes it more fun. Went to my course again this morning, same stupid woman there and as annoying as ever.......one more week, then won't have to listen to her interupt again...tongue getting sore from being bitten lol. We have had a bit of rain, OH has gone out to the farm to see if it is enough to get the planting started, fingers crossed. Very overcast here today, so could be more to come. Just a question.....if Wilson originated from Wills Son....where does handcock come from :-)))) Take care all Wilson

Good Afternoon Wattlers and party goers. I glad that you all had such a friendly week end and thanks for the photos Laurie. Where are the ones of you? How wonderful is it for the miners. When I heard the news flash tingles went up and down my spine and I was covered in goose bumps. I was sadly one of those who didn't hold out any hope for them. I now know that miracles can happen. Thank you God. I agree, the 'anchor' man was asking some stupid questions. Even this morning one channel was trying so hard to over dramatise the situation, which was dramatic enough in reality. We should all pray now that they are returned safely. Hi Tanya, new comers are always welcome,as long as you have a sense on humour you will fit in. Now then girls, Rebs has some sort of surprise in store for us in Brisbane, the only clue she would give me is 'Oscars'. My guess is that George Clooney is coming to entertain us. That would suit me, how about every one else. LOL Mary, Have you got some rain yet? We got about 26mm yesterday, but today it's bright sunshine again. At least we will have got the tank topped up a bit. I am going for now SuzyQ

Afternoon Wattlers....:>)) Hi Tanya...:>)) I'm Tony. Nice to meet you. I live on the East Coast ( Vic..... Melb. ) as do many others right along the East Coast from Tassie up to Q.L.D......and the thread is a bit lopsided....:>)) There are a few others from W.A and S.A that drop by occasionally to say G'Day. Where abouts in W.A are you, Tanya. Just having a bite to eat, and catching up on me Emails, and thank goodness Barb's sister was here to download a few while we were at the Yarrawonga meet. Hope everyones having a great day. Thanks for the Photo's Lara.....Barb ( lol ) I love the one of Barb..and have Copied it out and going to hang it up in he salon, for her customers to see. LOL...love it. That'll teach her to poke funny faces at the camera.....psml. Tony Oz...:>))

I said 'some' Trifle, don't be sooo paranoid, lol. I don't think your crazy - much. Lew Lew :-)

Who's crazy? Certainly not me. I'll have you know I have a certificate that says I perfect. Although that was dated some years ago. Any way........Hi Tanya from WA. Hope you like our friendly little place. You have found the best thread on the GR site. Trifley ~~~~~~~~~~waves from the Royal barge.

~~~waves~~~ to Trifley. What's your 'wooden arm' thread? Lew Lew xxx

Hello Wattlers How are the party lot today..........not too much of a headache? Glad you had such a good time..........no I'm not! I'm upset........you left us here all alone and we had to entertain some really old farts who got upset easily....huumph! Anywaaay..... fantastic news about the miners in Tassie. May all the gods smile upon the resquers and their efforts. It's just a pity some of the news media couldn't be more thoughtful for the rels. I watched one channel last night and the 'anchor man' kept hounding the reporter to ask the rels about their reactions etc when they heard the news the miners were alive. Gutter journalism.....in my opinion. But then again the particular 'anchor man' has always been like that. Hi Sandra.......how's the cold? Keep taking lots of fluids and get plenty of rest. No good pushing yourself. Healing <<<hugs>>> winging thier way to you. Hi Anna........did the Meet yesterday raise a good amount ? Told Graeme all about it and we think we would like to go to it next year. Graeme has a day off tomorrow and as he hasn't expired with his cold I have started a job list for him. My favourite nephew (otherwise known as FN) has an old cast iron bath he doesn't need so he is giving it to us. I thought a water feature with papyrus and water lillys might look nice. So guess what Graeme is doing tomorrow? Digging out a few half dead shrubs and preparing the area for said bath tub. He is thrilled!!!!! I'm off now to do some more digging for aunty Jessie and to see how my 'wooden arm' thread is going. See ya'll later ~~~~~~waves from me on the barge luv Trifley

Greetings from Mudgee NSW, Tanya. Feel free to join in the frivolity of the Wattle Club. You'll meet lots of nice people on here (although some are a bit crazy, lol!) Lew Lew

HI everyone Sounds like the meet went off well and glad you all found out what a nice bunch of peeps we are..I have met some of them and they are the best..We always get on so well and have such a good time...cant wait for the next one I can get to.. Busy day today as its grandsons birthday and I have to go and find a present for a 6 yo.. who has everything...LOL Will try and get back later and in the meantime be good..hehe.. Love Maryxxx

Boy, Anna, you certainly did get up Ms Bountithingy's nose, lol. Anyway, she sounded like an imposter! I actually have the butler named Jeeves, so I don't know who her's is!!!! Sorry that it rained on David's parade, so to speak, but I'm sure he'd have understood how desparate we all are for rain. It has just actually started to sprinkle (ever so lightly) here in Mudgee. Keep your fingers crossed. Sounds like the Wonga team had a marvy time. Can't wait for the Brissie Meet!! Hope you all have a great afternoon. Lew Lew xxx

It's officially afternoon- Labour Day holiday here today so long weekend. Great to hear all the news about the meet up - it must have been terrific. Those of us who couldn't get there feel like the bird on the side of the biscuit tin - on the outside looking in!! Thanks for the photos Laurie - they are great. Oh dear - I've upset Lady Bounti - whatsit!! Didn't think she'd notice my comment about her being an old lush - but she was right onto it. Shame she lives in Chelsea or I could extend the olive branch and offer to meet her for a cup of English tea or a glass of sherry as that seems to be what she gets stuck into. Sorry Lady B - sorry for calling you an old lush - I have no idea what your age is. What wonderful news about the miners in Tassy. I shudder to think what they are going through emotionally and their poor families - it must be so stressful for them. As they said on TV - the difficulty in reaching them safely cannot be underestimated so here's hoping that all goes well. I remember watching the live coverage when they were trying to retrieve Stuart from the landslide in the snowy. I think everyone was glued to their screens. Let's hope the outcome is just as positive. Off to do a bit of gardening - it may have poured down on the David Hack Classic Meet but at least we got 16mls of rain out of it. My poor plants live again. Cheers to all Anna

G'day Wattllers, Sounds like you all had a wonderful time in Wonga, Laurie thanks for the pictures. Shall look forward to Lara's one's they dooo sound interesting. Great news on the miners, hope they get them out soon. Not sure wether that' lady' meant what she said about us ( what do you think) only joking we hope????? Quiet day today I think, am full of a cold so don't feel up to much. Have a nice day all Sandra in the Gong.

What discs are you all talking about? What did us who was left behind miss out on? *pouts and stomps feet* Lew Lew :-(
