Here for the taking.

Mine mine mine?

Doh!

now I c there is no-one around I'll say bye.

Tehehe.

hmmmmmmmm

Quick Gail, hang out your washing and wash your car, forget your umbrella..... seeding the clouds with thoughts of rain...

Hi Gail, I waited for a couple of minutes before I posted for Topp.But there was noone who wanted it.

We are getting a few spits of rain and the temp is mild.

I know eaa, took me a while to realise where we were at in the count. I don't usually go for it but when Suzy hadn't, I thought I would.

I like your thinking Suzy, washing the car might work, but hanging out a load wouldn't...clothesline is UNDER the verandah!

SUZY, you have a benefit of seeing just where in state Montevallo is located too! the + that is in a circle is the town you looking for on wunderground

Well dear friends, it is time for me to go and do ffuts, I'm very sorry to say.

TE and I are popping over to Bean's later today, and there are things I simply must do...like tell TE that we are popping over to Bean's later today!!!

GAIL, is it raining?

Sokay June, still have not got the tough out today, had a shower, taken Bella for a walk. JD's son is up from Melbourne and Brea, Carter and BIL are coming for lunch so better extract the digit and do some ffuts myself.

Good evening
To add to the weather report, we have snow here now and it is very cold outside.
Good to hear that Heidi is surviving but not so good to hear that she has lost animals

MizT looks like a small rain band is heading Gail's way but not much at this stage.

Nup, none!

Bye for now.

I finally got my wardrode sorted so all neat and tidy now.I will have to take a couple of sacks to the recycling centre.

I don't have an electric can opener just a manual one, but a lot of our cans these days have ring pull tops

Watching Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy on tv at the moment so will bid you goodnight

Brenda..I am mega impressed...
I don't have an electric opener either...I have two men who are good with a can opener!!
Now I gotta get out of here...catch you all later.

I've had a few emails checking on me, so although I'm 50 pages behind with no chance of reading any time soon, I just wanted to let you know that I'm OK. The cyclone that was heading for our town has turned into a low, but we are expecting major flooding. We've had 1358mm (53.5") of rain and there are very strong winds. Schools, shops and highways are closed. We expect to get a little water in the bottom storey of our house, depending on further rain, but will be fine. Thanks for thinking of me.

Good morning lovely SA7 people.
MizT - thank you so much for the update on Heidi. Glad she's OK but so sorry about the animals particularly the old dog. Hope that next storm misses them. Manual can-opener here too. Bought an electric one once and hated it - but I have a you-beaut manual one that opens cans easily.

Susan - glad you checked in. I have been wondering about you. There's been so much talk about the cold in the US and the heat and bushfires in Victoria and SA, that the cyclone, rain and flooding in NQ has been forgotten. Hope the flooding doesn't get to you. I remember you saying that if it does it gets through to your ground floor. Fingers crossed not just for the safety of you and your family but that you don't have a messy flood clean-up - yechh!

These extremes of weather have made me realise how lucky I am to live in SE Qld - our main weather problem has always been severe storms.
It does make you worry about what's ahead for us!

MizT, the amazing thing is how red Australia is and how blue/green the States are! Purple in Alaska

Susan, glad the cyclone has not come. I am assume that your cyclone would be called a hurricane up here. I do not use an electric can opener either. During hurricane season, a manual can opener is on all supply lists. When one is on the way, the news always says "and make sure you have a manual can opener for your cans. electric will not work."
Glad to hear that Heidi is fairing well. She is resourceful and will always find a way.

Susan, I'm sitting here with my jaw on the floor imagining 1358mm of rain... nope, can't do it! I hope the damage is not too severe!

Wouldn't it be great if there were a pipeline to move all that excess water from NQ into the dry and parched areas of our country? Or even to divert it into the ailing Murray/Darling river system?
Hey, I could help Gail and Judy's husbands solve the problems of the world!

Hehe Cyn. If the earth survives long enough stuff like that will probably be developed - if you believe scifi shows anyway!

And a pipeline from the NW West Aust ( it is flooding up there as well) as well heading south.

Once there was a natural watershed of water flowing from North down through the centre of Australia. Many dams and irrigation is what is causing the problem with the Murray/Darling system.
Keep safe (and dry) Susan. How is your Mother getting on with the flooding.

I'm a bit teary at the moment - I am cleaning out old papers etc and found something that I had printed out because it made me laugh at the time. The wording has given me the shivers. I'll share it with you...

And Saint Peter said, "Suzy, why did you not get your paper written?"
"I was getting Topps."
"Topps huh? And did you post?"
"Oh yes, sir. I posted often."
"And if you had put as many words in your paper as you put in the posts..."
"I would have finished my paper."
"Do you remember someone named Ruby?"
"Vaguely."
"Well, she's here, waiting on you ... with her foot cocked."

Suzy, I will fly down there with my foot cocked if you don't get off your a** and write that paper. The world needs good teachers. What are you waiting for.

MizT/Suzy - that Wunderground weather site is great isn't it?
Rolanda - the temps at Broni's would be the same as me. She lives in Redlands as well- in the north of the area, we live at the south of it - probably 20kms apart but both close to Moreton Bay. Our temps are usually 1-2deg lower than Brisbane because we're closer to the bay.

And if I have to fly down there I am making you pay for my airfare and put me up until you get it down. If I am there and you still don't get that paper done, I will send for the beastie boys and then you will have all three of us with our feet ready to give you a swift kick in the backside.

And if you still don't write that paper, I will send my mom after you. I promise, you don't want to mess with my mom. She is one tough cookie. She has to be, she raised me

Suzy - Tami's right - get a move on!
And stop procrastinating

Been wanting to use that smiley for ages!!

I am watching the best part of the Super Bowl. The half time show. Bruce Springsteen is the artist and he is putting on a fantastic show.
