Sudokuaholics Anonymous 7

I'm still here, Suzy. Just trying to have a 3-way conversation on loudspeaked with Maddie, Poppy and I. Not easy to concentrate.

Now I'm talking to myself. So I suppose I'd better go to the K room.

good evening everyone.I have been catching up on the pages missed.

Now the animals want feeding..be back shortly.

Have also hung the washing out and it is a beautiful cool night outside with a nice cool breeze.One less thing to do in the morning.

Hi everyone hope you are all well
Been extreme heat over here for the last couple of days
and this little ducky cant sleep when its this hot
last night the over night temp was 28.1 the second hottest night on record, and didnt I know about it...
and then to make it even worse Sammy decided to have a bad night, poor little fellow cant handle the heat anymore...

Catch you all tomorrow hopefully.

Hey Cyn - its the same at my work, you see the residents on a day like this, with a cardy on.
well I suppose they are just sitting around most of the time, and the elderly also as a general rule have poor circulation.

Yes, Liz, my Dad was the same.

Good morning all. I'm having a play with my husband's new notebook computer just to see if I like the size of the keyboard.

If I like it then I may be getting one for my birthday next month. It has a built in webcamera so I would be able to join in and 'meet' you all face to face.

Yay Brenda, that would be cool.
Just finished talking to Steve. He helped me put a photo of my Mum on the top of my page.
What a legend!

Lovely photo of you mum and dad, they looked a happy couple. When was the photo taken?

Cyn, did you know one of your pics is on today's hard Jigsaw?

That was Mum's 60th. I thought it was a lot later than that but it was back in '86!

No, I'm sure they (my sisters) got it wrong, maybe it was her 65th!

That's got me thinking now! Will have to ask Bill (Dad).

Ok, must call it quits again. Seem to be getting very tired a lot earlier than usual lately.
Catch you tomorrow maybe. Have the exciting task of going out to buy Hannah's school books tomorrow. Oh joy, just love handing buckets of money over!!!

No matter when the photo of you mum was taken your mum looked lovely... must be who you take after

We have had a lovely evening. We went to the Opening of the Australian Youth Olympic Festival.
A miniture version of an opening ceremony in the Sydney Entertainment Centre. There was some great dancing and singing , all by school children. Daughter Belinda had some of her students dancing. There are 23 invited nations, 17 sports and 1550 athletes participating.
A warm night in the city ans afterwards we went to China Town and sat in the street for some dinner. Then drove through the City and home over the Harbour Bridge. Have not done all that for a long time.

June sounds like a lovely evening.

I have not read the last two pages but that will have to wait. I have a BIG day tomorrow and need some sleep.

I've just noticed something strange about a couple of our posts June.
Yours is timed at 11:00 and mine at 11:01 but mine is above yours

Have a good nights sleep June

Good Maen SA7!
Brenda - so sorry to hear about your roof woes - I, too, hope your home owners insurance will pay for the repair. I know with our place, it's just an ongoing project. Mike loves the movie "The Money Pit" because he really relates.

Gail - loved the picture of your mum and dad - what a hottie couple! Truly stylin'!
June - Your evening in Sydney sounded so lovely...the show, the dinner, the beautiful evening weather - ahhhhh...

Oh Lizzy! I'm miserable in heat, too. We've been having our usual January "false Spring" here and it's bumming me out. All the snow is almost melted and all those 900 bulbs I planted are starting to sprout.
If they come up too far and it freezes again (which it will), they won't flower for me...

Broni - thanks for the well wishes regarding my back...it was nice to have someone acknowledge a post of mine.
I hope your aches and pains are easing as you move through your week - I'm afraid I'm still on my back meds and will continue through the week - I'm doing heavy digging out in the yard today.

Cyn - not surprised that Jewel won the contest...one sexy pup! Glad to see Clive made a move at the end up to 3rd place. What fun!
Here's a hottie who I think might have gotten a few votes:

Well, thought I'd put out some coffee for the topsiders - MzT, you around??? Thought I might have coffee with you and the kitties.
Cocoa and chocolates for any DUGs still up at this wee hour.

BTW - today is Dr. Martin Luther King's actual birthday...althought it won't be celebrated nationwide until this coming Monday. He was a peaceful champion of civil rights here in the states.

OH MY GOODNESS!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUNE!!!

Vici, what are you doing any digging with a bad back?

June have a Happy Birthday, hope you have something special planned for today, or was last nights outing your birthday treat

MORNING VICI! I am up now, had a sleep in today. I am sleeping lots later than I did for a while and therefore missing so many friends on here.

Yes, I also want to know, what heavy digging are you doing? And how are you missing out on the arctic air mass that is invading the USA? It is very cold this morning and getting to the ridiculous the next 2 nights!

Still noone on the playground? It is quite today.

thanks for posting about martin luther king vici...he is one of my favorite american heros. every time i hear his "i have a dream speech" i am moved to tears.

i really need a DC , but i don't want to go get one. i would have to drive to my favorite little shop, and i am just too lazy. i am hanging out in my work out clothes waiting for the exersise bug to hit me.

Hey topsiders! ...and thanks for asking about the back - but it is much easier on me to do the digging that needs getting done when the earth is soft from rain and snow right now. I do little bits at a time - that is how I manage with a tender back (that and anti-inflamatory meds)

(barely) Everyone!
