Back for a bit....

Virtual sun screen is a beautifully scented, moisturing, completely non-allergenic (even for people allergic to regular moisturiser), wrinkle removing, spot clearing, nail growing, miracle cream!

You forgot pain relieving and tangle removing, Suzy!

Sorry MizT - you're right!

Good morning Suzy, MizT, Mariana, Broni, Heidi, Vici and anyone else I've forgotten.
Monday morning here - it's Ekka time in Brisbane. That's our Royal National Show or Exhibition (hence, in aussie slang Ekka) - like a State Fair with the animals, crafts and side shows. I used to love going as a child and took my kids as they grew up but only go every few years now, this year not being one of those - but have taken my grandchildren before. Like everything else nowadays it's sooooo crowded there and on public transport getting there and very expensive, it's lost it's appeal.

Plans for the party seem to be coming along well -
Yes, we'll start breakfast later, maybe 9am sudoku time. Broni, good idea to bring the cyber boat to the door, much more convenient for us all. Vici - the Mamma Mia idea is brilliant - what better way to spend a fun day than by singing along to ABBA. And Mariana - your offer to clean up is the most brilliant - I'm sure both Broni and I will be delighted with your help.

I see June posted on Easy early this morning.

Ho hum - also being Monday morning means that I have to do accounts/invoices.

Haven't heard a word from either the buyer or our solicitor about whether settlement is still OK for Friday. Getting philosophical about it, if it happens, it happens. If not, as I said to hubby, as long as we've got each other, we'll cope. We do have a legal contract and a substantial deposit which he stands to lose if he doesn't pull his finger out.

Party still on whatever happens. I'll need it either way! And with that CP+1, I'll leave. TTFN.

Hello, y'all!

Heidi, I have a cousin in Gray, Tenn., who has a quarter horse ranch and who shows in halter as well as reining and cutting. He was probably at that show.

Heidi, let's change 'probably' to 'very well could have been.'

Suzy, did you ever say what Ebob's name actually is?

Half an hour and no more posts.
Better news on the sale front - finally heard from the buyer - he's had the flu and sounds terrible. All should be okay for Friday as long as his bank can get themselves organised in time. Now I AM off to do invoices. Ciao.

Hi Ruby - yes, I was wondering just what Ebob's name really is.

Beautiful weather for the last three days, not so hot and humid, but stormy today.

Back again - I left clues for you! Was thinking SA5ers would have been on the trail and worked it out... Aussies don't pronounce her name correctly even after watching China Beach and the X-Files.....

Great news, CynB!==not that the man is sick, but that he's still around.

Crossing everything again CynB!!

Rolanda, saw your 'roos in the puzzles. Good on you.

Just say what it is, Suzy.

Ruby, you're no fun at all!!!! They're the examples I use when trying to teach Aussies that Dana is pronounced Dayna, not Darna or Danna....

While spraying a pesky wasps' nest last evening, I realized I was standing on a fire ant mound. Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! Now my leg and foot will look like I have small pox for the next six months.

Tell the Aussies to imitate a southern drawl. That's why we have no problem with it. I even know people who say May-re for Mary.

OOOOOOwwch Ruby!

Ahh, Ruby, are you trying to tell me it is not pronounced May-re? Here I have been all these years . . .

My friend whose husband died recently and I went to see Moma Mia this afternoon at the two-dollar show and enjoyed it. I gave her the sound-track, but she's not the sing-along type so we just listened to it. That is probably just as well because I shouldn't be the sing-along type.

HI SUZY, HI Ruby, either of you still around?

Ruby, for sing along, all you need is enthusiasm !

No, MizT., it's not May-re! And I should know.

I know about enthusiasm, MizT. Bev is still a bit subdued, though.

Ruby, how was south carolina today? we had a cooler than usual day today, with clouds and sprinkles. Weneed the rain, I was walking on crunchy grass today when I was walking about the yard.

MizT., how can I get rid of these pustules I'm going to get?

I found passion flowers ( may pops) growing just outside the area of the vacant lot that i mow. Two vines of them and 3 blooms, 3 baby passion fruit. wish I had enough to make jam or something.

You didn't read my weather post, did you Miz.T.? It's been less humid and hot and we had rain last night and again today. You?

Hi MizT.
Thanks Suzy - I'll remember Da(y)na.
I did watch China Beach, but that was too long ago to remember character names but I didn't watch X Files so that was no clue.
I'm not here - back to invoicing! Byeee

May Pops are good for something besides popping and making ballerinas? We had some neighbors who gathered the vines to sell to a patent medicine company years ago. (We had some truly strange neighbors--even "Deliverance" types.)

My dzughter the budding gourmet cook buys passion fruit at some unimaginably high price and scrapes out the little bit of pulp and made something with it, I forget what. she was a td uspst i ahd them growing in the bak hard here. I love the flowers, they look so very exotic! One can buy passionflower vines, again for some very high price. I think iti s because they do not transplant well and they do not like to be " messed with". I even tried growing them from seed, from my own seeds, with no luck.

fore ant bites, I find that mine get better faster if I drain them. If not, as you said they look like small pox for 6 months. after they are drained, just like unsightly purple spots.

You just leave those may pops alone and in a few years you should have a viable crop.
