Ohhh, I was comment 7000!

Catch you later, have a great night/day everyone!

Glad Daughter made it safely Stella. Always a worry when they do the big trips the first time...

Cold start to the morning, warmed up by mid morning.
once stopped Gardening, had to put a jumper on, still a bit too chilly to go without..
With Perth having a Mediterranean Climate. means we have mild Winters..

see you on the flip side Stella...

Have a great day..

. .

anyone home?

Terribly sorry once again! Seems I'm always doing this. I got side-tracked trying to look up info on salvias and ended up missing you.
Bye Stella. Have a good day. Try not to worry too much about yur daughter. I know, easier said than done!
Dearest Rola, so sorry I missed you on SA again. Catch you tomorrow, no doubt!

Hi Dino, are you still about?
That cuppa looks inviting AND a calorie-free cake too!

yep. I'm here. Just got a bit lost in cyberspace. Cake definitley low cal. cuppa no acffeine for good night's sleep

however, it hasn't improved my typing ability. Apparently if you get the consonants in about the right order people can guess what you are trying to say. Suits me well, that theory. How has your day been, Gail?

I love your Buddha avatar. I have quite a penchant for statues of Buddha. My D#1 has added three to my collection. Two very happy chappies and a head in the style of Angkor Wat.

Good thank you dino. Have been taught how to use the camera! Went out to photograph salvias in regard to earlier convo. How was your Sunday?

Tomorrow the girls go back to school. We didn't really do much these hols, D32 looked after her own social calendar and D#3 wasn't feeling the best through the hols, bit off-colour. She even passed up going to see Harry Potter!

I like my Buddha avatar too! Nice and cheerful. went off on an adventure courtesy of Sydney Rail who decided to repair the tracks. So they supplied buses. But bus drivers did not know where they were going. So what was meant to be a quick trip to Circular quay turned out to be a long one.

Also took a series of fungi shots. Will post them next week. I can't get over the number of different types just on our block.

So I was too late for a ride on the ferry cos I wanted to be back before dark. So set off to repeat the journey in reverse. this time the drvier fot lost twice. By the time I got to the station it was dark.

Groan! What a drag dino. The public transport system in NSW is in chaos isn't it?

Sydney is not the easiest of places to navigate around at the best of times!

So deceided to walk back (with my gammy knee)hoping to catch the local bus. it sailed past me while I was caught behind webbing out around road repairs. Anyway I got home in the end. Took a look at the pics on your page. you'll have to keep up both gardening and pics of the results. Enjoyed seeing the Perth beaches too.

Was wondering dino if I might be able to visit you while you're recouperating.

Well I enjoyed the adventure anyway. Needed to get outside. I'm missing my beach and my dog.

I read your post on our pets. I have a lovely story about my old ginger cat Scrap, very aptly named BTW.

Was the weather ok for your unexpected walk?

I'd love you to come down. I'll be staying with friends in Dumbalk (near Leongatha) until I can manage by myself again. Do you have a dog? Merlin loves visitors, too.

the weather was OK. Cold, but no rain and I like cold wind. Can't live at Sandy Point unless you like cold wind. Did you post your Scrap story?

No, I've always been a cat person but when my son visits, he brings my granddog Robby. I have a hoot when he comes up and he loves our big yard. Its the most exercise I ever get, I'm usually knackered when he leaves!
But I love all animals, even my sister's dumb bleeping border collie that just scratched my lips open on Friday night!

Not as yet. I have a problem with story-telling. I have a tendency to make a short story long! So I probably need to word it first.

I think the tributes for Rocko were beautiful don't you. The out-pouring of grief worldwide was astounding.

Ouch! I think Merlin is part Border Collie. His mum was a Jack Russell, but he doesn't look anything like a JR. I can't keep cats now becasue I go off on teaching tours and while merlin is happy where he stays, its not so easy to leave cats behind.

Its hard to do anything when you have pets I think. In that respect I agree with you, dogs are a lot more adaptable than cats. Their noses get out of joint very easily!

Merlin is adorable. He looks like he might have some wiry or foxy in him.

Which photo format do you prefer, flickr or the gallery? I don't know anything about flickr, if it weren't for this new way of doing it, I'm not sure I would have put pics up.

It is heartwarming to know that there is so much love around. The pics of Rocco showed a very intelligent and kind animal. Merlin gets to stay with friends who have 2 teenage sons and 3 dogs and a cat. he loves it there.

Sounds like doggy holiday camp!

Well dino, I really must go and finish doing the puzzels before changeover! I'm getting later and later.

i like both. On flickr it is easy to put up big pics. On the gallery I put up smaller ones that are quick to load. My sister has dial-up, so it takes ages for her to see much on Flickr. Have other friends who use flickr, too. So we get to see each others pics even tho they not SA types!

going off to fill my hottie. be back in gew mins.

Thanks for the chat tonight, sleep well tonight. Shouldn't be any problem after your big walk home. Just how far is the institute from the Quay?
We must work out a way to swap directions closer to your return.

is there a chance to sneak in?

let's see if there is
