Whoops! have another go.

Yes Anne, Billy's joke took me two reads to get it. Good one, Billy.

CynB - did you see my last night's comment about Mary from Manly (Qld) coming to my place for dinner last night. We had a lovely evening.

Must have been smelly too Billy.

anne - fear not...you have your own bed...slight problem though, the lightbulb on the landing has gone and it took my neighbour 45 mins to replace it for me the last time it went...so bring a torch.

i think it was CG.

what, you think CG was your neighbour who fixed the light bulb?? or him who caused it to blow a fuse.

I got it Billy . Some good laughs in this morning's posts and gorgeous Golden Wattle.
Mariane and Jude.

Just spoke to Mary and Vic on the 'phone as they are about to leave Albany. Just telling them to go through the Stirling Ranges to go up to see Wave Rock near Hyden.

It is not a Wattle.

it is a Western Australia Christmas Tree.

Hi there!

I've had a dog of a day - don't know which breed. Billy might guess.

Yes Anne, I'm happy you enjoyed your evening. It's a shame Mary won't be back in Qld by March 1st.

My good computer is working again - but very well.
I can't install my router. See you later

Hello Rolanda - I thought the same when I saw it but wasn't sure after the comments.

My good computer is working again, but NOT very well. I can't install my broadband router. See you later.

Speaking of our March 1st get-together, I asked my 7yo Granddaughter if I could borrow her sparkly tiara with lights for the day.
She rang last night and I must repeat this rhyme every night to become a real princess:
Deep inside, deep down, in my heart, I wear a crown.
Come, come, into the light, step forward princess, shining bright.

Do you think it will work?
She's going to put a pea under my mattress on her next sleepover to test me.
Where do they get this from?

I hope she meant a vegetable type "pea"

I could fix Billy's light bulb, but she and her guests have to form a human ladder so I can climb up to reach it.

Rayray - nothing worse than technology gone wrong, especially if you're like me and have no idea how to fix it.

Isn't it just frustrating CynB! I am like you in the respect you mention, and I am tearing out my hair in such quantity I shall not need a haircut for months. Why is everything so incomprehensible and why do various Internet parties make it so hard by being so downright obstructive!!!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Hi CynB. How's your back now? I have an outfit for you to wear on March 1 now that we've dressed Broni and Victoria.

Thanks to Son#1 who tried to teach me how to join two cut in half smileys then gave up and did it himself.

Would you like pearls as well?

Thanks Susan, but do you think pearls may be too much? Far be it from me to overdress.

Back is still sore, but no worse, just annoying.

Yes, we don't appreciate good health and being pain free until something happens to change it. Have another 'gourmet' recipe for you, will send it!

I've answered yesterday's question on todays tough & on my page!!

Susan - I'll actually need 2 outfits for the meeting because I'm bringing my daughter Karin with me. She does the puzzles and jigsaws and sometimes reads the posts but hasn't posted yet herself. Matching or even identical will do, I'm sure she'd love to wear the same as her mother, not! But I've got first dibs on the tiara with lights from her daughter, she'll just have to use one of the minor crowns, won't she?

About the injury - I can stand, walk, sit and lie down in comfort. It's the movement from one to another that hurts.

Just popping in quickly to say HI before i run off to do errands.
I put up 2 new Q & E recipes which are both worth checking out. One is Creamy Garlic Prawns, which I also added scallops. And the best ever Banana Bread.
Have a good day.

Morning all, can't stop, the accountant wants to sse me!!! Hopefully will be back later.

...creamy garlic prawns, now that I'm going to check out...just won a 5kg box of prawns

Madby you do shell the prawns first I imagine

Apologies to those from W.A.
It is indeed West Australian Christmas tree or Nuytsia floribunda! Named after early explorer Pieter Nuyts who almost found Australia, apparently. Close up it looks nothing like a golden wattle. It's also a parasitic tree ie. lives on a host tree. Thanks Google.

My sister passed this on to me and I thought of my "family" instead of girls - I think of persons. enjoy and reflect

GIRLS IN MY CIRCLE

When I was little, I used to believe in the concept of one best friend.
And then I started to become a woman. And then I found out that if you
allow your heart to open up, you will be shown the best in many friends.


Another friend is needed when you're going through things with your
parents.

Another will sit beside you in the bleachers as you delight in your
children and their activities.

Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be.

One friend will say, 'Let's cry together,' another, 'Let's fight
together,' another, 'Let's walk away together.'

One friend will meet your spiritual need, another your shoe fetish,
another your love for movies, another will be with you in your season of
confusion, another will be your clarifier, another the wind beneath your
wings.

But whatever their assignment in your life, on whatever the occasion, on
whatever the day, or wherever you need them to meet you with their gym
shoes on and hair pulled back, or to hold you back from making a complete
fool of yourself........

Those are your best friends.

It may all be wrapped up in one woman, but for many, it's wrapped up in
several.....one from 2nd grade, one from high school, some from the
college years, a couple from old jobs.

On some days your mother. On some days your neighbor. On others, your
sisters, cousins. And on some days, your daughters.

So whether they've been your friend for 20 minutes or 20 years, AND ONLY
IF YOU'D LIKE TO, pass this on to the women who have been placed in your
life to make a difference.

I should say - I thought of the people here

Wow, I slept in today and missed the turnover. interesting fact about the tree, Kate and I wish I had some of those prawns, Susan. I am hungry and don't know what to have for dinner. WHere is Broni at today?

Yes Susan, you may leave the last bits of the tails as I did, or remove them totally.
The scallops made it much yummier. For 2 people I added a dozen scallaps no roe.

Does anyone know where in Australia you can buy those hard plastic strips that hang from the ceiling to floor in places like supermarkets to section off a cold area. Mr Google is being very co-operative for me. I have to go out now, but will check later.
