Not necessarily Rolanda, I was later than some to start a family... I am exactly the age that current news reports claim has a high risk of depression etc - they called me 'middle aged'!!!!

I did it! And without a broom! A bit dizzy though as I wasn't expecting it....

like you had my children later than some !!
inbox message sent to you

ahh.. I hear the gate opening. which means the child has returned. and my time on the pooter is over..
bye for now

My time-without-kids is almost over, time to do the last of the cleaning up before they get home to undo it again...

Welcome back, Ruby! Thank goodness you are feeling somewhat better now, and thank goodness for your dog and neighbors!

Oops, Hi to Everyone: vdV, Gail, June, Brenda, MizTricia, Mamacita, Ruby, Suzy, and Rolanda!

Hi all SA3ers

Uploaded some picture of my recent flight from Bundaberg to Tooradin into the gallery on my page

Hi, vdV! I hope all is well at your house and no one was injured during the lightning strike!

Julie, no one was hurt, thankfully

everything was insured, just waiting for the insurance company to 'show me the colour of their money'

Glad you had insurance, vdV, and gladder still when money is in YOUR hands! Hope that will be soon! In the meantime, it's just "things" and you and your family are all right!

Now, off to bed for me. Good night, Everyone! Enjoy your day/evening/or whatever time it is as you read this.

Fast check in , middle of the night. Up to take meds, then back for another 4 or 5 hours.

someone asked if I was able to go back to sleep last night after being up. Yep, sleping well nights now. back to my 7 to 8 hours a night. Just have this little middle of the night glitch gloin now, but it is not lasting long now. See ya about changover.

Rolanda, had beef and pineapple dish from your recipe. Hubby still likes it.

Back to bed for me, and hugs to all.

Hi vdV photos on your page really great. What was that hole in the ground??
Hope you get everything sorted after your lightening strike.

Suzy your course seems to be similar to Elaine's, but over here in the UK she spends more time in school. From this week she will be in school for 4 days a week and at University 1 day. She still has work to do for the uni which is done at home. The first school she was in gave her fantastic reports and the Head of science in the school is keeping in touch with her just in case a vacancy in the department occurs.

MizT You have sent the strong winds our way. Gusts of 70 mph have been recorded. Thank goodness I don't have to go out today (apart from taking Callie for a walk) We may even be in for some snow, though I doubt it will be more than a thin covering if it happens at all.

At about 7pm I was about to tell vdV that I liked his new Jibaru when I realised we were in for a spectacular electrical storm so thought it best to shut down the computer rather than have vdV's problems. Got some rain which was nice but some parts of Sydney have had trees down etc.
Made me go and get some things done for Sharon's party on Saturday night instead of being on here.

Sorry I was too late to catch up with you Brenda.

June you did the correct thing in shutting down. It's better to be safe than sorry where electrical storms. I remember once thinking that we had closed everything down and that we were safe from problems as we don't have any overhead wires to the house. Wrong we had forgotten to disconnect the wireless router. Fortunately we had a spare so we weren't off line too long.

Welcome back Ruby, Mamacita and vDv.

Hubby wanted me to pass on his thanks for the congrats. Told him that I wasn't the only one in the peanut gallery.

Suzy, the suburb we live in has a lot of rules about trees. If a tree is over a certain size, we have to get permission to cut it down and only trees that are on a list can be planted. We'll get someone, when it warms up, to trim and top it again.

Ruby, sorry to hear that you've been under the weather. Reminded me of a similar thing that happened to me while in college. Hope you're feeling better and glad that your neighbors are keeping an eye out for you.

Becky, lots of rules here too. Huge fines for cutting down trees without permission! I've never heard anything about restrictions on types of trees though. It doesn't make sense, but I was working with the Rangers for a while and asked them about it (they're the ones who hand out the fines) and there is something about where we live (out of town, some small industry, mostly animal based) that means we can cut down trees more than 30m from the street without permission. As our property is over 300m long that gives us a lot of latitude. Unfortunately, it was the trees that attracted me to the house in the first place! I really only wanted the huge one 2m from the back door to go.

June - I was shut down to avoid damage yesterday too, a bit earlier than you though. The storm must have been moving north...

vdV - couldn't resist taking a peek at your Jabiru after the comments. Wow!

I've been gone 2 hours and there are no more comments! In that time I have consoled 2 girls whose dog was hit by a car and the young man who was driving the car, got the kids off to school, gone through 2 wardrobes looking for a lost jacket (it has vaporised!), and washed dishes. I miss school holidays already!!!

Hey Suzy, you should live here in the West. you could have had an extra few days of holidays, the kiddywinks go back to school on Monday..

on the radio this morn.. January was the hottest recorded in 16 years here in Perth. and no rainfall recorded during the month.

Morning Rolanda, it has been hot hasn't it? I will be so glad when the children are back at school and not running riot in the shopping centres! Monday you say? Yippee

Although with my luck the local schools will have a couple of pupil free days so that the teachers can get things in order.

ARe we there yet?
