Seem to be here by myself

HEIDI, the cows on the huge farm at the end of our street have already dropped a lot of calves. Many more cows walking around that will have theirs soon. I love seeing the new babies. Black Angus there. I have been meaning to snap a photo to show you, and when I remember to take the camera, they are too far away, or in other pastures. this place has over 2000 acres. I do keep watching MEAT, MEAT and MEAT putting on weight in the feed lot/pasture nearest our road. They fatten and butcher 2 or 3 every year, for the caretakers' and the owner's freezers.

June, hope hubby is okay. Whooping cough is going around...

MizT, now I have my camera I'm trying to remember to take it everywhere. Not doing too well so far! Other than proud mummy events that is.

I took Gail's advice and called the school. The recorded message has the starting days as Wed, Thu with no mention of the strike. Mr Google tells me that as of the 10th of this month the NSWTF was still hoping that the problems would be resolved so that the strike didn't have to go ahead. Sigh.

Forecast is for 33C here June. Mr BOM tells me it is 31C at the moment...

Hubby is working outside today - he is going to be miserable!! In the middle of nowhere too, at the end of 15km of dirt road.

Suzy, I know what it is like to not know the start of school. This school year was delayed by two days because of a hurricane that did not come at us. It was aimed our way, they cancelled the first two days, and then it veered away. We got a lot of rain, but nothing too unusual. The kids (and teachers) were happy to have a few extra days off.

Sad news story of the day (well, from where I site anyway)

1991 Miss USA, moved to modelling, acting, and now at 39 years old, to p0rn films.

No commentary. I think the sadness speaks for iteself. There were other sad stories, but they did not stand out as unusual - which in itself is sad.

Hi everybody! Another scorcher here today.

Suzy, I agree with you. It is sad.

Hi Judy, how are you doing today??

Dr. said he has not got pneumonia yet!!! I have mentioned the whooping cough to Hubby. Incresed medication and said he should be OK by Friday.

After much trying(about an hour) I finally changed my Youtube to one for our US friends to welcome their new President.

Hi Tami, June, MizTricia, Suzy, anyone else who's around! I'm well, trying to stay cool, sitting here drinking a smoothie and thinking about the work I should be doing...
June - glad it's not pneumonia!
Suzy - your poor hubby, what awful weather to be working hard outside!

Another quick good morning from me, lovely people. Still not feeling 100% (or even 75% to be honest). Just want to sleep, which is where I'm going now. Hope all is well. Back when I feel up to it.

Take care of yourself CynB! Get better soon.

38 and still climbing....

Hi Bean!

Hi Judy..... Bye Judy....
Catch you later...

Not here either but am waiting on D#3 to get her act into gear so we can pop into Emerald for some dinner supplies and a bite of lunch...only a bite mind you!!!
And yes, baby it's HOT outside!
Mid 30's up here, always a bees whatsit cooler in the hills than down in Melbourne. That sun is a scorcher though, can't bear it even for a short time.

Cyn, as a fellow asthmatic, you are in my thoughts. Feel like you have run a marathon?

June, thinking of hubby too. It all sounds quite concerning. Did it tick you off that he listened to Mum? Bet you had already told him to go to the docs!

June, just watched your youtube. Fascinating to watch, thank you.

Well, better go and get some things done - despite the horrible heat! Catch you all later! :)

Cyn, hope you are feeling better soon.
June, hope hubby gets better soon too.
Another news update about D&D...when they switched internet providers they also changed the telephone line it was using as we get drop outs all the time. So they are going to change back to the original line they were using in the hope it will improve....we will be without internet access for 5 to 8 days. Just keeps on getting better NOT!!!! Grrrr!

Hello, All! I hope those who are feeling under the weather will soon be feeling fit!

June, thank you for the YouTube on your page! It's quite enjoyable!

Here are some smilies for you, Broni....

Poor widdle CynB.... PLEASE!

Thanks Heidi, will save them when I get home.
BTW the battle for leader of the pack continues but I think I am winning...not sure who is teaching who hehe!

with that, Broni. I just wish I could watch.

Ohhhh she has attitude just like me, it is a battle of the wills.
Something I never realised before is she puts herself between me and other people. I had some friends she didn't know stay overnight on Sunday and when I was in the kitchen she comes in with me and gets under my feet, I always thought she was being scared of the strangers.

Enlightening, isn't it?

My last post was #11188. If I was playing poker, that's known as the dead man's hand. Aces and eights.

Oh Broni...hehe...what a job...you can give me some lessons when you have won the Leader of the Pack crown...

I'm getting tired, so I'm off to bed. all. Big day tomorrow!

Afternoon all! I've just been shopping - with no air conditioning as it had failed. It was still nice and cool going down the freezer aisles! Nearly $200 with mostly supplies, very little actual food. Vewy annoying!!

It's past 12:30 am here. Methinks it's past my bedtime. Good Night from here and early good evening to our friends in Oz.

I've just been watching some people across the road. The people on the property take in horses on agistment. They fenced it, rotate the horses from one paddock to another if the grass gets low, and fill the water, but everything else is up to the owners. There is a new horse there, very young. I have seen his owners throwing hay over the fence, mowing his paddock with a hand mower, and today they are scooping manure..... None of the other owners do any of that!!!

Night Julie!

Broni, I didn't think it was possible for D&D to get any dumber, but they seem to be managing it!

Hi Suzy, just saw a report that the teachers strike is off next week.

G'Day SAers.
Just making a flying visit.

I just read the headline and broke the news to the girls. Ally is a bit nervous so I wanted her to have a specific day to look toward so it is good to know.

She is singing tomorrow morning, then going to a movie in the afternoon.

Hi Steve! Good to see you - sad news about the aerobatic pilot today...

Did you know....

Chemical warfare was used in the 3rd century AC by Ancient Persians against a Roman city.
