Oh oh - June is around...

Well - colour me happy another TOPP but also a CP

It was OK CynB, the computer may have been on, or Sharon was using it but I was not around.
That semi that whissed passed you might have been the same one that blasted me the night before. Probably about the time it would have taken him to get up there!

I am just about pulling my hair out. I am convinced Ken has a DVT and have packed his bags to take him to emergency but he refuses to go. Sharon was at him as well today.
Ken did see the Doctor about it yesterday and he said it was a cramp from not getting about as much since he has not been well.
Today it is now red and swollen and the anteinflamitary cream the Dr. gave him is doing nothing. Ken said he will see how it is in the morning. I told him that might be too late!

Have a wonderful time at the wedding Gail.

We also have the cool change and it will be a better day tomorrow. I think it got to over 40*c again today. I kept inside being entertained by Laura. They were here because our house is cooler.

June, so glad that Sharon and Laura have your cooler house to visit when it gets so very hot there. I do hope that Ken's problem can be resolved quickly. Men who will not go to ER, I know what that is like! Prayers that all turns out well.

No windows open for me today, I would get wet! We have rain, widespread, overnight gentle rain. It will continue to cool as yet another cold front comes through, but nothing as cold as the one we had earlier!

Hopefully our handyman can still do a repair under house. We have a water leak, drip drip drip. He and Al also have to look at one of the rental houses Al helps maintain. An electrical problem that Al cannot solve, strange things happening. Handy man is more knowledgeable about strange electrical problem.

I can make us another page and see if it will help, but would prefer to wait till Gath is going to be around. We need him to close out the old page and put a link to the new one. It could be too confusing if there were 2 active pages and posts on both.

HEIDI, would you Please PM me when your smilies are approved? we would know he is back then.

June, my huge support goes to you and Ken. Let it not be a DVT, please Lord.
May he see the sense of the smart women around him who have nothing but his good health in mind.

Good Maen SA7ers!
Gail - those sketches were wonderful...amazing - I have never been able to draw worth a darn.
MzT - hope your leak gets fixed up. Sounds like water leaking around here with all the glorious rain we've had over the last 3 days. Now if it would just get colder and turn to snow!

Cyn - thanks for that fabulous Aussie feast! A lot of things I haven't seen before...and certainly haven't eaten. Someday, hopefully!
mariana - I got an ipod touch about 3 weeks ago and have been having such a blast with it. I have weather and time set up for all over the globe. Did you download the free penguin catapult application? It's a hoot and a half!

June - not happy to hear Ken is being so obstinate about taking care of his legs. Hope he goes with you guys this morning to the hospital and that they get this problem figured out.

Boy - there were a couple pages there where I was sure I wasn't reading English - haha! Felt like we got a full dose of Australia with Cyn's great food smilies and all the gibber-jabber slang flying around!

Hope the wedding was fun and not too hot for everyone Gail!
Either no one is around, or I'm a bit like Pepe here and have driven everyone off!

Many hours until the wedding Vici. It is currently 1am and the wedding is not until 4pm this day.
Tell you all about it after.
Bye all.

Good morning everyone.
We have had rain,rain and more rain.Cannot get to the septic yet as the trench is full of water.
Luckily we have a toilet in the ensuite.
Have to work this long week-end but have holidays coming up mid Feb and can't wait.
The humidity is awful,sometimes 90%.
Thanks Vici for the Aust.Day wishes!

Have to go back and do some reading.
June..not good that hubby wont go to the Dr.It could be cellulitus if it is red and swollen too.
Hope he goes in the morning to see.

I'm all turned around, Gail! Fun in the chatroom...thanks!
Nola - we have rain, rain, rain here too, but no septic issues at the moment.
Hope your humidity breaks - that's the worst!

SUZY, thanks for the Oz Words E Mail. I have been hanging around Aussies to long, I did understand and get a chuckle from a few of them.

Morning Vici, Good night Nola.

Hi MizT...finished reading.Loved all the Aussie slang.
I should be in bed but came home "stuffed" and fell asleep at 5pm.Woke at 11pm.
It is too hot to sleep without the aircon but I was cold with it on.

MzT - would you forward that e-mail to me? I'd love to decipher some of those posts!
Good Morning Tricia! Off to grab another cuppa...hugs!

Hope you can get some rest soon, Nola - I sure do know that too hot/too cold dilemma.

Vici, when you asked Laura about the closet (walk in wardrobe) she did not know what you meant. We did spent some time in there yesterday even though it was hot a bit claustrophobic.
We also made sausage rolls and cut up old Christmas cards.

You sound like a fantastic Granny June to get in the closet in this heat.
Can't you sleep either?

Stella/cynB my brother had a similar problem with an ex wife turning children against him. It took until my father's funeral 10 yrs ago for his children to learn some truths about their mother. since then his kids have (who are adults aged 36 and 33 now) been close to him. It back fired on the ex as the kids paid little attention to her after that.
I just hope that in your brothers' cases this happens sooner.

Hope Ken gets his leg problem sorted out soon. You could do with less things to worry about June rather than more. Take care of yourself.

I now have a Skype account trouble is I have to use Richard's new notebook as my laptop doesn't have a built in microphone.
We contacted one of Richard's cousins who lives in Florida the other evening and were on for over three hours.

Going to do a puzzle then try to get some more sleep.
Who Roo

I suppose I should go and fling food. Having a late lunch as we are going out tonight as a family to a quiz at a school where our friend's kids attend. Unfortunately it will not be all fun for us as we are the ones compiling the quiz and making sure that it all runs smoothly. I get to do the scoreboard.

Wish you gould send some heat over here Nola. We have a max of 5C today.

Very rarely do we get temps that low here but if we do it is a low not a max temp.brrrrr

Hope you are now asleep Nola. I have finished all the puzzles so will go back to bed.
Enjoy your day, those that are up and about.

June - I thought Laura was a hoot - especially with the sunscreen...and you are an awesome Granny getting into the "wardrobe" with her again yesterday.
Brenda - wonderful that you are up on skype now! Our family had a wonderful time with it on Christmas...getting us all together when we wouldn't have been otherwise.

all. Was reading a good book last night and lost track of time. When I looked at the clock, it was after 6 am!!! BAD Heidi.

MizT.... they haven't been approved yet. We're going on 5 days now. Gath, Kym and Flynn MUST be on vacation somewhere.
