Anne from Albany W Australia

Hi Anne, I know what you are talking about. Anne and I went on a little boat on the Murray some time ago and whenever I had a good photo lined us, someone would pop their head in my way. I got a bit cranky until I realised that they had just as much right to take photos as I did. The answer is to sit at the front - and be a nuisance to everyone behind you. (I think)

Many thanks Anne, we will be going out for dinner with family tonight.
All the best love Amelia xx

Hi Anne,

Thanks for your wishes. I'm still catching up as I was off the air for two weeks.

I was in country China basically seeing the old China but with lots of glimpses of the developing China. Quite impressive on both counts.

Regards
Jack

Hi Anne, I went to Guangzhou, Nanchang, Jiu Jiang, Mt Lushan, Jingdezhen, Wuyuan, Mt Sangingshan, Nanchang, Yichang, Shennongjia, Enshi, Yichang, Qingjiang, Jingzhou, Guangzhou and home. The development is everywhere and yes there are projects which seem abandoned. In the tourist areas there are projects ready for more tourists but not yet in use. Housing might be described as 'Little Boxes' (Pete Seeger) [tomorrow's slums] but they do house people. The smaller ethic groups are given opportunities to take part in the tourist trade and some do a great job. The Miao people put on a great show (play) about girls looking for marriage partners. all in all I picked the right tour to be part of though the lingua franca was not English.

Cheers
Jack

Many thank yous for my birthday wishes; the cup of wishes just keeps over-flowing today - life is great!

Thank you, Anne. I truly appreciate your thoughts and wishes. I'm just glad that my mom is in a better place, I have mourned already for years as the Alzheimers took her memories and herself.

Thank you so much for your birthday wishes Anne. I think relaxed is the way I would describe I'm day! After turning 70 last year I would prefer not to have any more. 😎

Anne, I hope you have a beautiful December.

Hi Anne, thank you for making my birthday even better.
I've had a wonderful day with family and friends.
Cheers !

Thank you for the birthday wishes!

Anne

Hi, Anne - As I mentioned on today's hard... it was sorta a challenge from Jack, so I decided to start 'trying' and find it's not as difficult as I originally thought it would be; now it's my personal daily test of wits!

Hi Anne, thanks for the birthday wishes yesterday, I had a really full-on day and didn't get a chance to get on and thank you until this morning!

Hi Anne from Albany. Thank you for the welcome.

Green Gables never looked so good!

Anne, thanks for the birthday message. I had an enjoyable day. We had a Yum Cha lunch with the family that live in Sydney.

Thank you Anne, Bill has had this before and the last time he did a stress test the Dr said he was the fittest person he had ever had on the treadmill. We will see how he goes this time .
Cheers for now.

Anne. Thank you once again for remembering me on my B-Day. Much love and stuff, Gus

Thank you Anne, I hope I'm a quick a learner

Anne, have a wonderful day celebrating.

to my good friend who almost shares a birthday with ME! Enjoy your day, Queenie, and keep up with your active lifestyle! Good health and good fortune to you! Judy

Happy birthday Anne. Have a great day and a great year ahead! Cheers!

Happy Birthday Anne! Have a wonderful day!

Anne, have a great day.

for the lovely birthday wishes, Queen Anne! Yes, we Aquarians are a hearty and fascinating lot, aren't we? Thanks for remembering me.

THANK YOU!!! Dear Queen Anne, nearly fell off of my chair! Thank you for exalting me with a rank! I shall always be your lady-in-waiting! I hear English queens always had them! Didn't realize they could be a political tool as well until I saw Victoria!

What a lovely place your hometown looks

Thank you so much Anne for your lovely Birthday wishes. I did indeed have a wonderful and very extended birthday, lunch and a few games with the Bridge girls on Thursday, lunch with the Friday Friends on Friday, and a big family dinner at night with all children and their partners, quiet dinner with hubby tonight, and Velvet with Marcia Hinds in the Speigaltent tonight!!! I am a very spoiled old girl now!!

Hi Anne,

Thanks for the Birthday wishes!

Cheers,
Gath

Thank You Anne for the Birthday Wishes this morning on my page
and for the Ecard you sent as well.

How are the plans for the your trip in Oct going?
I hear you will be staying at Cyn's for a few days

Thank you so much, my Queen Anne! From your devoted lady-in-waiting!

Thank you for the birthday wishes, Anne! I had a wonderful day celebrating!
(And thanks for the 'new page' bonus!)

Anne
Thank you for your good wishes for my birthday. I celebrated yesterday and today with family.

Hi, Anne!

I just sent you a message, but it didn't appear on your page, so I'll try again!

Thanks so much for the birthday wishes! Bailey (my significant other) and I celebrated at the only restaurant open the day after Hurricane Irma roared through! We plan to go out for a second celebration tonight at our favorite seafood restaurant, Conchy Joe's, so we can enjoy the reggae music. We've become good friends with the band, so expect to have a great time!

I am hoping to bring Bailey with me on my next trip to Oz and will visit Western Australia, so I'll keep you in the loop. Would love to see you again! Bailey has some surgery coming up, so I'm not sure about the timing yet.

Hope all is well with you!

Much love,
Jane

Thanks Anne, I was very happy with the way I ran. It was definitely my most consistent marathon so far in terms of keeping a steady pace for the whole race. As you say, I had a couple of injuries going into it so to finish so close to my PB was quite heartening.

Thx for the birthday greeting.

Hi Anne, thanks for the Birthday wishes. Off travelling again so will miss you in Queensland. Hope all is well.

Anne, please forgive my curiosity, but based on your comments today, it seemed like you'd never before been to Sydney? Even though, based on previous comments, it seems like you've been almost everywhere else in the world?

Anne, in the cold hard light of day, I'm appalled at my early morning rudeness yesterday (when there's no other excuse, blame the earliness of the hour is my policy). Thank you for responding to my nosiness with such grace and kindness.😔

Yoo Hoo. just passing. had a view of your holiday pics of the East Coast. Noice.
I look forward to viewing all your photos in January.
I didn't realise you went home on the Indian Pacific.
