And over the page

Congrats on your win at the club, June. I hope it was still there when your Hubby got there.

Suzy, I'd keep on feeding the bower birds. Maybe a baby boy will remember your feedings and return next year.

Afternoon/Evening all! Not sure if 5.26pm qualifies as afternoon or evening?

We have had a busy, but wonderful day! The girls and I went to the local Animal Park. I thought the girls might be borderline too old for it, but I was very very wrong. We saw the Koala show (and got our picture taken with Henry the koala), the monkey show (mamarsets - so cute!), the crocodile show, the reptile show (the girls had their photo taken with Monte, a constrictor), and the dingo feeding (boy are they tough on each other!). We also walked one of the shorter nature walks (I was worried about splitting my stitches on the long one, which has been described as more of a rock climb) and the kids went down the giant slide several times.

The highlight - for me anyway, not necessarily the kids' favourite bit - baby koala came out of mummy koala's pouch and put on a show just for us - almost everyone else had already left the park. Soooooooooooooo cute!!!!! And the batteries were dead on the camera! Sob! I tried to take some with my phone, but won't know if they're any good at all until I download them.

Rolanda - I think I would collapse too after the week you described! Is it like that every week? You must be exhausted..

Broni - that is quick! I was in on Friday, out Monday and I thought that was quick. Will be thinking of you.....

June is absolutely right about not overdoing it. I felt fantastic after 2 weeks, went shopping and lifted some heavy stuff, and put myself back to before I left hospital!! The moral is: no matter how good you feel, WAIT!

June
Congrats on winning the raffle. That's a great prize! Makes me want to see what's in the bottom of my freezer (maybe there is a roast hiding in there).

Ruby - I hadn't thought of that. I might put some blue stuff out too. Do you know what time of year they usually build their bower?

Suzy fortunately. Mum's specialist appt is every 4-6 weeks, not weekly.
on the Wednesday I usually drop her home by 9.00am, and go and do my grocery shop straight after..
and as for birthday dinner parties.. as a mother, you've got to do what you've got to do !!
there will be 8 for dinner Saturday eve..
both Grandmothers will stay the night, we ( hubby) will deliver them home on Sunday sometime !!

Elise:
Jamie is a he !!

June congrats on winning the raffle (again).

What did you win ??

our dinner this eve..
Woolies had 2 family meat pies for $5.00, decided we will have that, with mashed spuds and steamed veg .
Easy Peasy

Hi Rolanda! Im glad it isn't always that busy, but good luck getting through the week!

What a bargain those pies were! Right place, right time....

The birthday party sounds wonderful! d1 is 16 next year and said she didn't want a party. She changed her mind when we suggested chinese for her friends. Doesn't want them here?

There will be another Family Birthday Dinner in a months time..
#1 boy will be turning 22 mid Aug.
At a guess, he will request..
Dutch Soup,
Lasange, Salad and Garlic Bread,
and Lemon Meringue Pie.

It's a shame that my boys dont know how to eat well !!!!

Rolanda, 1 1/2 Kgm (3lb) beef topside plus vegetabes. Just have to cook it myself!

We enjoy meat pie mashed potato and peas.

LOL Rolanda! You must make good lasagne and deserts!

Yummo June!

Well I have answered posts, read news, and played flipwords.... I'm now all computered out, and my head/eye hurts (more than 6 hours in an animal park at fault???) so I will say goodnight! Have a fantastic evening everyone...

Suzy I feel tired just reading your posts . I too have been playing flipwords, neglected this site because of it and also the other message boards I subscribe to... Angie has a lot to answer for.. !!!

Vewy, Vewy quiet here tonight?

Nite all SA5ers.

Good Morning sudoluland.

Smilies are not loading again, bummer, no coffee for us today!

A lovely rare cool night overnight, temps down to mid 60's, 17 C. Most unusual for July, this is an autum kind of night! should have cool nights for 2 more, and this morning I have doors and windows open and enjoying the cool natural fresh air! It will be hot by mid afternoon and AC will go back on, but these lovely hours in the morning are a treasure!

YEAH, the site gave me back my smilies! So I made coffee to celebrate.

Today I have to wash caps for hubby, how he manages to get a cap so dirty I do not know! Same way he gets all his clothes dirty I imagine, dirt just jumps up on him hehehe. Then I must peel more peaches and do something with them. Best get cracking. I will check back in later to see if any of our topsiders check in. Wonder where everyone has gone?

Hi MizT, yummy coffee as usual.
There are a lot of people who haven't posted in a while. I too wonder where they are.

Broni,
The countdown is on..... Will think of you ALL day tomorrow.

Elise
Good on you for doing what the doctor tells you. Did you read that Broni?? (Wish I had been a good girl)

Broni, good advise from Suzy, take it easy, do not rush recovery, and this rule I taught to my patients way back when. . . If you cannot pick it up with two f9ingers of one hand, it is too heavy to lift for the first month at least!

If you just over tire yourself one day, you put back your recovery 3 days. would not take too many days in a row of overtiring yourself to be back at the day after surgery now would it?? Nursey Tricia has spoken!

SA5
Yes I read that Zusy!
As nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof. Off to work now. Have a great day everyone.

Listen to Nursey Trisha, she knows what she's talking about!!

I am trying to upload a photo to Flickr. I do it so rarely that I have to relearn how to do it each time. One day I will spend the time to work out how to use the site photo thing. Probably when we get broadband...

Woo hoo! It worked! There is now a photo of the girls in my photostream, taken at the animal park yesterday...

Wet & miserable here but shouldnt complain its filling our new tank I will pop in for coffee MizT but will leave my umberella outside hehe.
We had Optus down yesterday no internet no phone I would say heads will roll over that only in SE Queensland & northern New South Wales was affected

No stopping me now! Now I know how to email photos to my Flickr page, I will update it more regularly! There are 3 photos from our adventure yesterday on my page...

noice Suzy, but where is the photo of you. hehe

Mary / Qld..

here in Perth, we had pouring rain yesterday, and today looks like the same..

Hi Rolanda
I look half dead in the photos from yesterday so I left them off. No wonder people were commenting.....

Great pics Suzy.
