Over we go!!!!

Mary, what kind of crafts were you doing? And which "footy" game (is that soccer?) were you watching?

I got called away Stella to pick Emily up from school or I would have raced you to TOPPs

Well, back to laundry and organizing! see ya later!

Stella I think Mary will probably mean Australian Rule football when she talks about footie. There are a few matches shown on our cable tv at present.

I should be doing some work too Stella. Have a good weekend

Hi Brenda! Was that an early pick up from school? Is Emily sick?

What's Australian rule football?

I should always remember to refresh before I leave. I keep forgetting that posts don't automatically appear!

Thank you to my friends on SA for the birthday wishes.
I will visit everyone over the next week to say thank you in person.
Time for Bed in this part of the world
see you all on the flip side

Hope you had a great day Rolanda

Stella, no Emily isn't ill. Her school finishes at 3pm and I was late in leaving to pick her up, but not just because I looked in here. I had to send a spreadsheet to one of my bosses at the last minute.

Not sure what the rules of Australian rule football are Stella, but do know that it isn't like football (soccer) more like rugby I think as the ball can be handled.

Good Afternoon all. Its a cold rainy day here and my wishing it away for awhile hasn't worked ....so I will just have to wait it out. Had to put the heat on for awhile because the house feels cold and damp. Sully just rolled his eyes.... I'll be glad when the weather settles and so will he. He 's tired of hearing me talk about being cold in the house.

everyone. Just stopping by to catch up.

Mamacita, know how you feel. I'm running around in sweats and still feel half frozen. Haven't turned on the heat yet though.

Today is May 16. At noon today our temp was 61F, totally unheard of. the temp kept dropping this morning after sun up. That is about 20 degrees lower than norm. We closed doors and windows, but did not need the heater at least. Strange weather!

MizT you can have a chocie any time, Hi Brenda & Stella to confuse you even more it was Rugby League & flicking into a bit of Rugby Union Aussie Rules was on we dont usually watch soccer only when world cup is on it is very hard to explain we love our footy friday night & sat night we put tips in going to mind master 4 today miss 6 has parties as for craft I do a bit of everything Im doing traponto & cross stitch & crocheting we have to leave soon thats me all day be back much later have a good day -night everyone

Hello all on SA4, Hope you're having a great day.
Mary (Q) -I'll leave it to you to explain the differences between our football codes. Too complex for a non-devotee (dare I say that).
Mary (WA) - will take your suggestion about the movie and post on the movie site.
MizT - It's cold in Alabama, and Eve on easy page says it's sweltering in Oregon. Strange weather indeed. We are having balmy days and cool nights. Ah Qld - beautiful one day, perfect the next (tourist ad slogan).
June - don't be worried about the TOPPs - if you can keep ahead, why not. Surely nobody on SA4 takes it seriously.

Mary, Mary, Mary.... I was a bit out of breath reading that sentence! I think I need some punctuation to understand it a bit better! lol

Hi CynB! You snuck in while I was reading! Was the movie you saw, "Made of Honor?" I ended up seeing "Ironman" today! It was very good, plus we got free popcorn and soda for the grand opening, and although I would love to get popcorn at movies, I never do because it's too expensive. Brendan was going to see it again tonight with his friends at the drive-in, but it is raining.

No Stella, it was 'Miss Pettigrew lives for a Day' - quite enjoyable! No free popcorn but
I got a seniors discount.

So everyone has a life but me, no one has posted for over 6 hours. Stella punctuation is not my strong point, but I hope I pass muster.
Hope you all have a great day/night.

I have looked in a couple of times but there has not been anyone about. All having a busy Saturday.
Hope you are feeling up to travelling Broni? When are you due to leave?

Hi June, will be down in Melbourne next Saturday, spending some time with family and friends then off to Gails place the next Friday and get together Saturday, fly out Sunday. Starting to get excited about it all. My doc thinks I should be good for next Saturday, finally off all the medications today, so should improve from now on.

SA4ers

Finally here. I have not stopped in properly for ages, but I am here now to share a bubbly with you all.
Raining at last
I believe we were also trying for the coldest May day in history, although I don't remember anyone asking me! When we were in the car to go shopping at about midday, they said on the news that is was 7Cin Melbourne, which means it would have been a couple of degrees colder up our way.

Don't worry Broni, I will make sure there is plenty of wood here and the heater will never go out!
June, any chance you will be able to make it?

And now, for this fortnight's menu:

S Steak Dianne
S Quiche Lorraine (Brunch - pancakes)
M Cannelloni
T Schnitzel
W Veg Pie
T Curried Sausages
F Beer Battered Fish
S Dining Out (Why not, hubby suggested it!)

M Beef Noddle Stir Fry
T Yiros
W Crumbed Chops

Gail, still not sure. Depends what the family are doing and that is NOT easy to find out. I would love to be there.

Just letting you know, the family is more than welcome too.

SUDOKULAND!

Boy did the weather man miss the forecast over night. It went to 48F ( 9c) and that is unheard of in May! I got up and put on sweats, still cold, it is sooo foggy and damp. So I TURNED ON THE HEAT, just a bit to take out the chill. OH MY, heat in May??

I remember last week, when it got almost cold at night, forecasters said ENJOY, this is the last we shall see till autumn. WRONG! Now I do remember at least twice when it was chill all the way into June.

Once, my sisters and I gave Mom a gift noone else could give, 3 days of our time! We booked a cabin in a state park, and the 4 of us went for the long weekend. First week in June. We had to have a fire in fireplace over night both nights! We were out in the forest searching for sticks and limbs with no saw or ax, to feed the fireplace hehe. After that first night, found out wood was avaialble at the ranger station at the entrance to the park. Just none at the cabins in June, normally not needed. There was a lovely pool, but too cool to go in. we did sit around the pool mid day in the sun, but only touched a toe to the water .

Another really cool June was when I was about 11. Mom had promised to take us to the comminity swimming pool as soon as it opened June 1. BUT that day was very cool, and she told us, we could not go untill the temp got to 70C (really a bit cool, but kids kept pestering her). there was a little analog thermometer on the rear view mirror of Mom's car. Only problem was, car was in the driveway in the SHADE and thermometer was not moving. Mid morning, I got the idea, if the car were forward about 3 feet, it would be in the sun and the thermemoter would go UP! So, I get into the car, and put in the clutch, while my 8 year old brother and sister give a push. YEP we moved the car the nescessary 3 feet, the sun got on the thermometer, and went above 70 and we went to the pool. almost froze! Mom kept handing down towels and warm shirts to put on, "get your brother out of the pool and make him sit in the sun, his lips are blue enough I can see from here, and your sister's teeth are chattering".

WELl, that turned into a book! I should have had coffee ready, so you could have sipped as you read that hehehe



coffee ready now, you deserve a cup if you make it through my long memory post!

Nine more posts would take you over th e top. I keep getting here when it is just out of reach!

Time to start my day now, so I shall stop just short of a CP and get some breakfast going and hubby out the door. He has a small repair job to do today. will keep him out of mischief today at least.

Hugs to all, and see you in a couple hours or so.

everyone. Still waiting for spring/summer weather to hit our neck of the woods. Tonight an arctic clipper is supposed to come through with a high in the 50'f (teens C).

Broni, I probably missed it, but where are you going? Hope I'm not being too nosy.

If the movie industry relied on hubby and I, they'd be broke. I think the last movie we went to was "Phenomenon." Hubby won't pay the high prices and the discount theaters start their movies before he gets home from work.

Went shopping yesterday and came across camouflage crocs. Our grandniece found a pair that lights up when she walks.

Gail, you inspired me to start making menus again. I started right before I got sick and it helped a lot. I looked through the list and then decided on what I felt like making that day.

Hubby cut the grass this morning, while I got a few things done inside. I cut his hair afterwards. The last time I wasn't feeling good and forgot to put the blade guide on and gave him a "skunk strip" up the back of his head.

Can you tell I'm waiting for him to wake up from his nap? One more to go for topps. Should I?
