I have to try for a TOPP

Broni, it sounds like you'll have a good crowd there. It will be a very nice gathering! Say Hi to everyone for me!

Where did you both go Stella and Broni left me to talk to myself and get a TOPP into the bargain

Went to get my tea and toast! Good on ya, Brenda!

Yes Brenda, we had a get together at South Bank in Brisbane a couple of months ago, that is when I first got to meet some of them, (photo's on my page) I will also be going down to Melb at the end of May and will catch with friends I have never met.

I've never met anyone from here. There is one person from my town on this site. I'm kind of shy so unless it was a large group gathering, I don't think I could do it.

I am also planning to go over the US later this year and meet as many fellow Sudokuholics as I can!

I guess today is Earth Day! Happy Earth Day!

Broni, where in the US will you be visiting?

Will be the West Coast Stella, have some friends in California. Haven't planned anything yet, just know I have to get off my butt and do it!

When we were at Disney Epcot, we went into the Lion King Circle of Life. It turned out to be a movie about how humans are ruining the environment and that we are wasteful, take over the land without thinking about the consequences and don't recycle. The irony was that there were very few places to recycle at Disney. I always recycle and saved up all of my soda bottles and clean paper/cardboard and put them in a box because I couldn't find a recycle bin. The cleaners just took the box and threw it in the garbage. The movie really annoyed me because of that.

I've only been to California once, back in the early 80's, before kids. My daughter wants to go to school in California. I told her she can't because it's too far away!

Wonder how much land Disney took over too Stella.
We do a lot of recycling here, the local authority collects some but not everything which can be recycled. Those things I have to take down to the local refuse dump. Even there they check your bags to make sure that you aren't putting recyclable things in the wrong skips.

With all the travelling to school events you do now Stella you would never be at home if your daughter went that far away

We have seperate garbage bins for the rubbish to be recycled. They pick up the recycle bin every second week and the other rubbish every week.
And on that note I have a big lunch and drive tomorrow, so will bid you ladies good evening.

Have a great day tomorrow Broni say Hi to everyone from me too

Good night Broni! Safe drive and have a great time tomorrow!

TY, goodnight or have a great day, Brenda and Stella! Will pass on your wishes to the gang.

I have to get on with work work Stella, hope your sore throat doesn't spoil your day

Morning Sudokuland! Have not read the 2 pages of posts written since I went to bed last night, but wanted to get the coffee up and ready for all. Magin pot makes Tea and Choccie also, so help yourself and sit a spell.

I have a bit of STUFF to do, be back in a flash.

Morning MizT I will have a cup of coffee to help take my mind off the work I am supposed to be doing It's a lovely day here and I wish I could go outside and work.

BRENDA, I am headed outside to work next, need my electric whipper snipper ( string trimmer) around all the buildings and edges. I am trying to "work harden" again this year, I cannot do much at a time with the weed eater, but years ago, I learned you can tolerate most anything for 10 or 15 minutes. Take a rest, and go back again. heck, when I first got online on computers, I could not sit and read/type long without pain. I started the 15 min a sitting several times a day, and increased a minute a week, using a timer. Now look at me! But I could do more consistantly and frequently the computer than I can the weed eater. things like must wait for the morning dew to dry, and must avoid the hottest part of the day, limits just when I can get out. then there are the rainy days, and the days I must go out . . . but It is gradually getting done! I might finish all around the buildings I choose to do, before I have to start again!

I need to do that type of work outside too but at present am stuck working inside on the computer. I have quarterly VAT, year end Taxes and Monthly salaries to do this week

OH, Brenda, that sounds like a LOT for one week. I shall breathe in teh fresh air a bit deeper, stop to look at the blue skies a bit longer, and relish the nice breeze more often, just for YOU! this before it gets HOT by mid afternoon today!



Must make my lawn mower and weed eater smilies soon!

Huumm, where is everyone today? No posts since mid morning?

I did get outside and some weed eating done. The sun got very hot very early today, but luckily the humidity is still very low for us. my lips feel dry and chapped it is so below our norm. Now Rolanda would probaly think it is HIGH, they are so much drier than we are.

Back to more stuff, I do not seem able to catch up from that 6 weeks my hip was being a pain and I let things slide.

Need 15 more posts for a TOPPS, just too many to go alone, so I will sneak back out of here and geet busy.

I must do a quick later, we have a kitty cat emergency! They can see the bottom of thier bowls and we ran out of cat food.

Watch they don't report you for cruelty MizT. No food, I'm sure they would survive a little while
Reason it has been so quite is that the server seems to have been down for quite a few hours.

WE ARE BACK!!

I had to sign in manually first time, but seems to be working auto after that!

Brenda, yes, almost 20 hours! so glad it is back up and running again.

(barely, it is 11:00am) to one and all. Yesterday I was sad and lonely. Couldn't get here but I was able to do the puzzles last night. Couldn't sign in and didn't have comments on easy. It is all fixed now. Hooray! Unfortunately, I have work to do. Hopefully I will get back here before there are too many pages to read.

I'll try again.... Good Maen all!

Too two tries to post that....

MizT, I know what you mean about 'work harden'. I sometimes feel like I'm starting from scratch lately! We have a friend who does Aikido and we went for a while. The tumbles were too hard on my neck, but I have never been able to do so much without pain! The warm ups are magic and the effects lasted for days.

Back to the recycling conversation... we have a large recycle bin collected once every 2 weeks, and a small rubbish bin collected every week. If you don't count green waste, neither are ever filled - unless my mother is visiting and then the recycle bin is chockers with pepsi bottles.

Interestingly, when I have work, they fill up faster....

The horses have gone home for a while. Hopefully they'll come back before hubby has to mow again. It saves at least 4 hours on a weekend.

Stella - I know what you mean about schools too far away! Although my ds have 3.5 and 6.5 years to go I am already thinking about it. We're hoping the local branch of a Uni will have more courses available by the time our kids start. It would save us a fortune in accomodation costs too.

No one around? And I miss you all after missing a day too.

Brenda, my computer looks out at the back yard through two sets of glass double doors. A cheery place to work.

Well I'm off to make myself beautiful for a photo. Or try anyway. Hubby informs me I must have one taken for work. I always try to avoid getting my photo taken, but he is being nagged and so is nagging me. Then I'm off to buy milk and coffee early. The shops are insane at the mo, probably a combination of school holidays and the upcoming long weekend. I'm hoping if I get in early I'll actually be able to get a parking spot.

Well I can't go now....
