Arachnid from Yanchep

Welcome, Arachnid, to the site. It's good to see you make your presence known. I would like to take this opportunity to return the kind Christmas and New Year wishes to you...

And a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, Arachnid.

Hello Arachnid - I hadn't realised that Busso was referring to Busselton.
I have family living there and more at Margaret River.
The bushfires are terrible. The smoke seems to be coming this was as the easterlies have finally stopped. I even saw ash falling while I was out watering my plants. If only it would rain.....

Welcome back. Don't be a stranger....

Nice to see you posting again! I must get over to Busselton soon to see my SIL.
Some nice Margaret River wine for you.

Just teasing about spiders! In truth, I usually snatch spiders and insects and free them outside ... where they belong! Your avatar will be fine! And as for helping old people across the street ... the only old person I assist in that manner is ... me! Thanks for the fun!

WHAT???? Fremantle was the FIRST settlement in Western Australia???
Home again. Arrived back this arvo from ten days spent in Wickham cuddling new baby great-grandson. Also celebrating oldest granddaughter's 21st and Mother's Day with four generations.

Are you now in Dardenup?

Dardanup is now the place of residence but for how long who knows?

Oh dear Anne. As a native you are claiming Albany which is correct. I should have said the first settlement in the now capital city. Mea Culpa. Apologies

You're forgiven!!

Is it true you're celebrating a birthday today?
If it is, a very to you, Arachnid!
I hope you enjoy your day and have a nice relaxing time with family and friends.

, Arachnid! And many more!

So, was it your birthday on 12th November like Peter said or is it today?
Whenever it is, I'll still wish you a very and a great year to follow.

Arachnid, Here's wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year...

Dear Arachnid,
How are you and the Mrs. recovering? Well I hope.

Years ago I discovered that soaking a beastie nest with starting fluid (ether) does a fine job of eradicating them. The starting fluid has good range and you can safely do them in with a couple of applications a day apart.

My Goodness, I'm glad you are both alright after the fall and the stings, and the .......
I hope the bruising goes away quickly.
Best wishes to you both,
Anne

Arachnid, My thoughts are with you and your family in the sad loss of your father.

Just in case you didn't get back to read my reply on 'medium'.

Had a lovely time, thanks Arachnid. I have a couple of new photos on my page of my great-grandson's first birthday.
I left three days early because of the cyclone but it fizzled out.

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Arachnid,
Happy Birthday to you!
Hip! Hip! Hooray! Have a great day celebrating.
Best wishes,
Anne

for the Birthday wishes, Spidey! So nice to call you Friend!

Hi - I see your most recent comment 'Comment:this is a 2 & 4 puzzle' keeps getting banned. This is because a word in the comment trips the banned-word filter. Hint - Maybe use a different valley name?

Cheers,
Gath

CONGRATULATIONS to you both on 47 years of married bliss! Have an absolutely wonderful day celebrating with your family.

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday, hope your day has been filled with fun things to do !🎉🎂🍻

for your lovely greetings, Spidey! I sure miss you and your puzzles. Be healthy and safe. Hugs, Judy

Hello Richard,
Hope all is well with you all. I've just got home from up north and noticed your comment about emels on the 10th Aug. She is from Perth and I met her when we had a gathering there when the site hadn't been going very long. Probably back in about 2006 when Gannie Mo and Steve were visiting from France. Mo and Steve stayed with me then I met up with them when they returned to Perth to fly home and we had our 'Sudoku Gathering'.
Cheers, Anne

Richard! With best wishes for a lovely day celebrating.

Richard,best wishes for a wonderful day celebrating. Not sure if I like turning 77 yrs ,it’s getting to close to eighty.😳

for remembering my birthday, Spidey! It's nice to hear from a friend.
I'm still enjoying the puzzles ... and the stimulation of my brain cells! Thanks for them.
Love to you and your family,
Judy

Happy Birthday, Richard! I hope you find time to celebrate your special day with your family.

Dear Arachnid,

I apologize for my less than helpful description of city blocks yesterday.

By way of apology and to express my own thanks for your many puzzles (which I always looked forward to and never failed to learn from - usually quite a lot!), when you are fully healed and up to traveling once more, should your travels bring you and yours to NYC, I would be honored to offer a place to stay, and to show you folks around so you can determine for yourself how best to describe a city block.

Seriously, I can host up to three guests in my apartment, which is in a very good co-op building, on a tree-lined street in Hudson Heights, a very safe and lovely neighborhood.

I'm away in the summer, and I know you still have a lot of recuperating before you are able to travel again, but any time from this fall (which I think is your spring?) on - that is, from September on, I will be able to play host once more.

Should your travels ever bring you this way, I will be happy to put you and yours up, and to show you around, uptown and down, as much or as little as you like, including other boroughs - what and how much you would like to see or do is entirely up to you folks.

NY is especially lovely when the leaves turn, and it stays quite warm through October - it's also mostly quite nice in winter and spring, but I run away to the mountains every July and August, since the temp can go as high as 41 C here in the city, and with near-100% humidity (it's an island, after all), which I have never learned to enjoy!

Anyway, I'm always happy to play host and show people around the town I've called home for over forty years now (I moved here post-college), so please consider this an open invitation, for this or any year.

Best wishes, and thank you again for your help in keeping us all mentally alert!😊

Best wishes to you and Linda on your 50th Wedding Anniversary, Richard!
Have a great time celebrating with your family.

Richard! I hope you have a wonderful day celebrating with your family.

I could not miss this opportunity to wish you a very Happy Birthday!
