Vonny skips on singing club song.............. looks around.............you know you don't all need to have your hands over your ears!!!! It's a nice song. :) lol Ooooo Trifely, we have a Subaru Forester too. *Whispers....sh....... (I don't know one end of a football from the other)............but don't tell please.* However, all kids are mad footy fans and my eldest Son-I-L is obsessed. So hope that redeems me slightly. Sunny and overcast in turns today with a cold night forecast Lara, Oh poor you. Hope a nice day in bed helps - with a hot waterbottle of course. (I bet you did it on purpose so I'll have to do your gardening when we come to Yarrawonga) lol ((HUG)) NOTICE FOR EVERYONE There's a really interesting thread on General which is the diary of the trekkers who went to the Sahara recently - was to raise funds for cancer research. Anyway it;s a great read. I'll nudge it up for you now but if you can't find it just enter the word - diary - in the search area and you'll see it. *it's the one by Jack...... Vonny xxx

Hi Wafflers See what happens....I go to bed then get up and do h*******k and come on here to find 2 pages of posts! The thing is...they are all interesting. Even the weather reports are CORRECT! There is nothing like getting info straight from the source. Lara....what on earth were you doing? What ever it was you shouldn't have! Have a nice warm shower and a GENTLE massage of the area to encourage blood flow. Healing thoughts speeding their way to you. Greetings to Pam from Birriwa....~~~~a most regal wave to you. Hope you enjoy our little group. You don't have to be mad to join us..........but it helps :o))) I don't know anything about your area.......what's it like? Hi Joodleoodleoouhooooooo (Trifley makes noise like yoedeling - badly). Are you having a CRAFT moment dear? I do understand....I forget my own name sometimes pmsl. Marks car is a Subaru Forrester AWD (All wheel drive) and Coffs Harbour was invaded by nearly 60 of them last weekend. They came from Qld. NSW & Vic. and one enthusiast even flew in from WA. By the look of the photos they all had a great time. I love a parade!! Especially one with a pipe band! Aren't Aussies wonderful.....any excuse to party. I hope the Foundation Day festivities go off well. Hi Julie Cat..how's your flu? Keep up the fluids and rest and you'll be good in no time. Ok now everyone.......fingers X X X and positive thoughts for tonight! Hopefully we will be celebrating with Champers. Toodle ooo all. A big~~~~regal wave to everyone from the royal barge. Love Trifley Queen of the Nile (Trifley skips off singing Club song)

'Hi Joodles' Was Lara looking for me, I live one hour south of Hervey Bay, the bottom of Fraser Island is just off the coast from here. I live a quiet life here, have over a 1acre garden to keep me busy. Dont add to the boards much but I try to read most days to see what people are doing. Cheers Pat. Q,land.

Tony I was just looking in ASL to see what was new - and when I saw yours - I thought the Irish pics were new (to me anyway) Well ..... the march is over. It went past my house - oh no - here comes some more, they must have been dawdling. Its so nice to see the town come together (Its our Foundation Day, a historial day so to speak) Just up the road from me is a marker (see below) .. which commemorates Gove Macquarie and his wife. ___________________ In 1813 Governor Lachlan Macquarie and his wife stopped by what Macquarie called a 'spring' in a deep glen. No spring as such has been found in the area since, and it is assumed that he referred to a local creek. From this visit came the town's name and also the name of the main street, Macquarie Road. Springwood features the oldest railway station building in the Blue Mountains, having been a coal and water stop in the steam era. _____________________ The bikies are driving past now in all shapes and sizes (the bikes I mean!) Oh well - all over - back to h*******k Jood

Lara. Take it easy mate. Damn painful when you pull a muscle, and just rest and dont strain yaself. Hope your feeling better soon. Joodle. I put those piccie's on the ASL sight a little while ago mate. The origional ones dissapeared????...so i added a few new ones. They are mostly in Ireland...when we were there last Sept. Dont know what happened to the other's.......maybe the site only allows you to keep them on for a short while only..? Tony Oz..:>)) ps. Very cold and raining in Melb.

Hi all First of all - sorry to hear you are laid up Lara babe - how on earth did you do that, and on a weekend too! Get well quick. Tony, mate - I should have said ASL - sorry !!! (I'd been looking at both lists) Pam, welcome to the Wattle Group - I'm allowed to say I dont know where Birriwa is, as I was born in Perth, tho I have lived in NSW for a loooong time now. Actually ladies and gennelmen! Birriwa is up the road from Miss Mudgee (well - as the crow flies) Just been walking down the main road here where our Foundation Day is being held - great to see everyone. For a comparitive newcomer of 4 years, I bumped into 6 people I knew. The parade will be starting soon - out the front of my place. Dogs, kids, pipe bands, bikies - you know......... Jude

OMG Lara please rest and hope you are ok;;;;;;;; Babs

Morning Wattles. Cooler here in Melb. Hi Pam..Welcome. Joodles. What piccie, on what board mate? I have added a few to the ASL one, but not any to the GR one Anna. Loved your joke....lol Tony Oz..:>))

Hello. I came across this thread, and just thought i would say hello. I live in Birriwa, in N.S.W. You may have heard of it. Nice thread you have here. Cheers. Pam

Already answered this once, and then lost it - buggar. Anna - happy April Fools Day to you toooooooo. I havent been caught, only because Im on my own, and I havent had the TV or radio on. *covers ears at the thought of Anna and Wifley - sorry - Winely - I mean Trifley singing Tony's poetical ditty in soprano and contralto* Thanks heavens I wont be there lol Just kidding girls. Hi Miss Mudgee - hope the move is going well - according to my weather map - the rain has gone out to sea, and it looks dry all around NSW today (strange, I look outside behind me and there are grey clouds - BUT - THE WEATHER MAP SAYS NO RAIN. Been busy fiddling around - oh yes, Ive been working, but not doing the work I SHOULD be doing - like H*******k!!! Love your joke Anna - would Tony agree I wonder? Incidentally Tony, did you sneak another pic or two into GR Photos??? Wifely - oh nooooooooooo - I keep forgetting - WINELY - I mean TRIFLEY - geez! Your sons car looks realllllllllly great. Dont know that car, but it looks lovely. Better do wot Im sposed to do. Cheers Jood

And a happy April Fools Day to you all! I have been sucked in already!! Local paper had a big picture of a lemon on page 3 and said it had introduced new technology to enable advertisers to add a smell to the product they were advertising. So of course I scratched the lemon didn't I ... read a bit further and they posed the question about what would be a good smell for April Fools Day!! So - hope you all have your wits about you!! Trifley - are you a soprano? I'm an alto so I think we should sing the song in parts - it would be really moving...!! Tonight's the night - time for everyone to make their dreams come true - huge TV's, world travel, electrical devices etc etc - it will all be within our grasp!! Bring it on!! Lew - thinking of you today and hope it's not raining at Mudgee Palace. Hope you've got your valium and a hip flask at the ready. Trifley, Joodles - I occasionally watch Rugby League with OH - our Qld Cowboys won last night - but the other codes are a complete mystery to me I have to confess. Quick riddle for the 1st of the month: Q. What is the definition of macho? A. Jogging home from your vasectomy. Shall leave you with that thought! Cheers Anna PS If you want a laugh, read the 'How women take a shower' thread on the general boards...hilarious!!

Evening Waffle Wattlers I've been practising our song for the Brissie meet and I'll have you know, Vonny, my voice dosen't sound any better here than it does in the 'Corner'........bugger! I took time to add a couple of photos on the GCphotopage. One is of Mark's car and THOSE wheels! The other is of some of the cars which went to the rally. He had a wonderful time and came back exhausted. Hi Joodles.........I think I must be the only one on the thread who doesn't follow football. I don't mind car racing tho', particularly Formula 1. Lew Lew our family motto is 'Never do anything unless you can do it to excess' ....that's why i like the people on this thread. Rebs........I asked my Klingon if he wanted to come to the meet and he said he thought he'd better work that weekend. Isn't he a darling.....working to earn money so I can play up with you lot? Thanks for organising things for us. I'm tootling off to bed now.....had an early start and i'm a bit tired. See you all tomorrow. ~~~~~~~~waves from the royal barge to everyone love Trifley, Queen of the Nile

Evening All Of course you can have 1500 posting Rebs. Brrr it is still cool here tonight have got heater and electric blanket on. Watching Tv at the moment and hoping all the matches arent this one sided, doggies are playing well. Cheers Sue

Evening all, I've spent hours reliving the trip getting the photos filed away onto discs . . . enjoy putting the captions on as I go, poor Debs I must have clogged up her puter as i sent as I went thru them. I am haveing second thoughts about Yarra meet and Tony & Ray, could get a bit uhummm what with Ray being as old sailor and being partial to the old bawdy sea shanty. He finished off your poem for you Tony . . . . . No Rebs Ray wont be with me in Qld, someone has to work and earn the money for me to have holidays. But then again he could be missing me and head up for the weekend. How sweet and innocent did our Rebs ask if she could have 1500 . . . 1 less praline flake !!! Off to bed cheers all for now luv Laurie

Can I have post number 1500 if no-one minds? Please!!!!

Hi Wattlers, Has taken ages to read all the pages. have been playing Florence Nightingale ( except the syphilis bit ) this evening. Just got home from work when my elderly neighbour rang and said she had had to come home from her few days away as she was unwell and could i come over. She has a tummy upset and I think just wanted some company, poor old soul doesn't have any close family. I have the weekend off and plan to load Legacy tomorrow. I love this program, but have had some probs with updates . Jood i do have the paid one and did update from the button at top of screen. The people who make it couldn't find what had gone wrong with my prog, but agreed that there is definetly a glitch somewhere, so am still a bit nervous, as you all know sooo much work can go into and onto the computer that i don't want to b****r it up. I have been speaking with one of their experts ( and you know that an ex is a has been and a spert is a drip under pressure ) who says I need to totally delete any files that have to do with Legacy before i reload this new one, so keep your fingers crossed for me. Laurie, welcome home, i am looking forward to the reports on the giraffs Rebs good to see you back, stick with us, no meanies here. Tony, you really are a talented man, how lucky is Barb, to have a man who can sing to her and quote poetry, even if the one you started sounded a bit dodgey lol. Hi to everyone, too many to mention, hope you all have a good weekend. Take care Wilson

Good grief!! Went out for a few hours and the wattlers have had an attack of verbal diarrhoea!! I think everyone is so excited about the return of the lost souls and the new faces popping in!! Hello everyone!! Rebs - the proposed date is fine by me - I'm very flexible!! Clingon will probably come down with me but I'll send him packing so no need to include him in numbers. Hope everyone has fingers and toes crossed for tomorrow night! Cheers Anna

Hi - Patricia Steele from Qld - are you the person Lara has been looking for? Where are you in Qld???? A quiet night here in Springwood - nearly bedtime. Been busy jumping from one thread to another - (only family history related tho) although I was trying to help a girl find her family here in my town, but sadly they have moved. I would have loved to have been able to tell her I'd found them. Jood
