almost

that's better. Now I'll go get my chair thought the beach is pretty good today.

Ah. Chair in line with today's theme. No work. will be left alone. By the way 'thought' above should read 'though'.

I have a nice leather sofa pending review. Meanwhile quite comfy in this deckchair.

OH DINO, with the sofa, we will have extra seeting for visitors!

I am trying to help BEAN get a chair, not sure the one she picked will show up as nicely as it really is. Our Bean has exquisit taste, priciest chair on the chair site I do believe hehe

OH POOH, I forgot the coffee pot this morning. Oh well, the aussies will be waking soon, so let's put it up for tea, chocolate and coffee for them.



ENJOY m'ladies.

LOVELY spring weather today, started cool but quickly up to most plesant. Dry air, crisp, blue skies, sunshine and a gentle southern breeze. More and more trees look "lacey", not yet green leaves, but I can tell the buds are opening. Hubby and i sat out on back porch today and enjoyed.

OH OH< I must tell you about what we saw this morning. I think I have mentioned we have a pair of eagles we watch soaring from time to time. This morning they were riding the breeze, up very high, could just barely make them out they were up so far, and all of a sudden one of them tucked in his wings and went HEAD DOWN into a power dive! Boy did he fall fast! I never did see him pull out of it, he was down below tree top level fore he did, but what a sight!! After a few minutes, I saw him emerge from below the tree line and slowly gain altitude circling on the currents.

I wonder if he got whatever it was he dived for? I have read that only 3 in 10 attempts result in the prey being caught. i did not see anything in his claws, so must not have got it this time.

Can you tell, I love observing the nature around here?? I really do enjoy being in such a rural area where so much to see.

Maen all!!

One day I will have to spend the time to work out how to do chair thingys and smilies. For now I am seriously unmotivated.

SUZY, no need to get avatars is you are not so inclined. You are just fine as a "plain Jane", we love you just as much as the fancier decorated members.

the ensuite is an empty shell..
this morning the Plumber is coming to move some of the water pipes, and drains..
Hubby will be doing some patching on the walls..
Moi will be back in the Fernery, to do some more repotting Hangers.
Dinner is evening will be MizTricia's Mexican Pie.

SA4ers
Thanks for the cuppa MizT, really appreciate it.
Those eagles must be spectacular to watch. Not long after we moved here, the town revamped it's main street's appearance and had an official 'opening'! Part of the ceremony was an Aboriginal 'smoking' by a representative of the local indigenous people. Whilst she was doing it, some of us in the crowd looked up and directly above us was an eagle circling. Later someone mentioned it to the woman and she said that it was a good sign, an extra blessing for the town. Very moving.

Suzy, how is the work going?

Rolanda, thinking of you!

Just keep looking to the future.

BTW I got a message last night at 8.30 from the girls to sat that they were fine and still 600k from Sydney. They expected to arrive about 2am but they must have been exhausted because there was no message on my phone when I got up this morning! Not that I am worrying or anything Lynda!

I would be Gail.. worrying, panicking.. ringing them...

Good morning all - just bringing in the goodies for the next shift -

Enjoy!

My chair avatar is still pending - I guess Gath is having a break over easter, can't begrudge him that. Speaking of Gath, when is their baby due?

Leather sofa still awaiting delivery. Thanks for the coffee, MizT. Cake and chocs most welcome, too CynB. Off to do today's puzzles.

Just heard from my girls. They arrived safely but didn't get in till 4.30am so they must have been exhausted!
Cyn, thanks for the choccies but I am stacking on the kilos cos off them!
BTW The prince or princess is due late August.

Hi Gail and Dino,
Glad your girls arrived safely, Gail. There's nothing worse than worrying about kids driving long distances - even if you try not to!
Not till August - don't know why I thought it was April (both months start with 'A', and I'm old!)

Hi all. Just popped in to wish you all a Happy Easter. Hope you get lots of chocolate. I still have to make up clues for Amber's Easter Basket Hunt. I've been doing that since she was in Kindergarten. She still loves it.

Gee I have been missing my computers, SA4!!!! and page 12 at that, before I new of the change. I hope the insurance hurry up, I'm a bit over waiting.

Missing chating with you lot

I've got two pictures on the kids pages today

What the heck, try for a CP

Yes!

Hi vdV, yes I thought of you when I saw the blue wren this morning.
Glad you got a chance to drop in. Hope you are having an enjoyable Easter Holiday.

Me too vdV.
Missing your fly through!

HI vdV, I hope your computer is soon repaired. We have missed you lately. you had lightening strike it, right?

I am so very glad, when that happened to us, we were able to have it repaired out of pocket and wait for insurance check to reimburse us on that. Hubby "needs" computer for business, you know.

I am not here, I am sleeping, really I am.
