Gail from Cockatoo Vic AU

Hi Gail,
yes it is the Cherry Gardens in South Oz. I have 8 acres with 1 horse, 2 sheep, 4 alpacas, 7 chooks, 4 dogs and 2 cats.
All this keeps me busy.

Hi Gail, thanks for visiting! I've brought you a lovely bottle of moet chandon ...I'll even offer to help you drink it!

Thanks for dropping by the other day. Sorry it has taken a few days to return the visit.
We lived in Nicholson St and Hyde St Footscray (Yarraville end)back in '63 to '72 and then we moved to Madeline St Burwood (near Asburton) and now Glen Iris(they changed the boundaries)
We came back to Sydney in 1974.
Most time we go to Melbourne these days we tend to fly down for just a couple of days.
I would like to have a longer trip down, ie drive, so we can catch up with lots of friends etc but cannot see that happening before next year.
I am sure you will enjoy the get together next week. It would be great to meet the people that you chat with on line. I find I tend to look up where they live apop into peoples pages to see their photos and hope they have one of them selves so I can 'see' them when I read their posts.
You need a photo of a yellow crested white bird for your avatar
Keep having fun posting.

hi there Gail
thanks for dropping by my place, and sorry to take so long to get back to you. I'm in Eltham so we have trees just like you at C*cka toooo! Hope you're not shivering up there too much tonight; winter seems to have really arrived eh.
Your bubbly tastes real good, by the way, one of the few alcoholic beverages that i really enjoy! take care.........
ps did you get a closeup on the dalia lama? you lucky thing if so. my daughter got to a schools day at the rod laver and i was sooo jealous!

Gail, I cannot begin to thank you for taking time to visit my page with your kind words and best wishes for my mother's health. Your thoughtfulness contributed greatly to helping me through a long and worrisome day. Bless you for thinking of us.

Hi Gail--read my post on today's easy puzzle page ...
I'm no stranger to the bedside vigil--we almost lost Mom four years ago to a horrible bout of diverticulitis that resulted in near-kidney failure. She's recently had fluid on her lungs so that made her heart work harder which I'm sure brought on this angina attack. Hopefully all is cleared up; she's one stubborn, feisty 85-year-old, still in her own home which she keeps immaculate, including the garden. She won't go down without a fight, that's for sure. Thanks again for your concern--it means a lot!

Hi Gail, Thanks for the Bon Voyage, We still have a little time to wait but not too long

Hi Gail, thought I'd drop by your page & say G'day. You know that I was here the other day, but it was the day I couldn't submit comments, & so it's taken a few days to get back. I am leaving a bottle of bubbly (good Oz stuff) & a box of Lindor balls (hope you don't mind if I eat the dark ones, they're my fav).

Hi Gail,Hope you have settled in.It took me over 12 months to start chatting.

Gail,
If you havn't noticed, Gath has reduced the price of the Bar Night, so hehe another ball in your favour with Mr G.
Also another reason to come: I'll tell you about the 'Boarding Pass'

Gail, we are making progress at least, so I will settle for that. I'm looking forward to receiving when you get it done! No problems.

I did say they were Flo's scones. I do not generally make Pumkin scones. I did not want to try and explain Flo and her scones to all the OS's. I also understand you moving from Newport. When #2 started school at Hyde St Footscray there were 35 in the class and only 5 spoke English and they were all the U5's. We were in a company house at nominal rent but bought our own house at Burwood for the sake of the Kids.(back in '72)

Hi Gail, Thanks for your kind words - I have just been discharged so it's back to work next Monday. I have to say the food was surprisingly good for a hospital!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Gail,
Just found your page, wanted to say hi. I have left you a bouquet of lilies on the table.

Hi Gail,

I've made a change to the chatroom, so you can now change you from back to 'Cockatoo Vic AU'.


Gath

Gday Sue, thanks for the visit. Sorry I was out but am having to seriously limit my time on the pooter. At first it was a simple addiction, now its an obsession! Actually, must fly again, daughter to pick up. Next time I'll bring a drink and we can chat.

GAIL, it worked, nicely. Look for a return reply, actually 2, from me. I sent Rola to you also per her request.

Graphics on the way to you seperate mail. I hope you like. Instructions for getting them approved included, so have fun! A NEW addiction for you! It will not be long you shall be wanting a supporting membership so you can have all the fun smilies. shoot, you have not even tried the FREE smilies yet have you??

Gail, since the graphics did not come through when put in mail, I can try something else. Ask yur hubby if he is OK with accepting attached files? Tell him my hubby runs all the virus protection to keep us bug free. We have to, cause we do business via computer and internet and would not do to send a customer a virus heheh.

If he is not comfortable with that, the other alternative is to let me send the graphics to Gath for approval, then put them here on your page. you would have to copy and re send for approval to get them to YOUR avatar list, but it is doable.

i will await your instructions, while sitting on my hands to keep from bugging you heheheh.

Hey Gail, thanx for your support. 99.9% of people on here are lovely. The .1% try to stir things up and create nastiness for their own amusement.I shall try to rise above it 'breathe in...breathe out...aahh that feels better!'

Thanks Gail regarding Mike. Today (Friday) after he had 5 hours of dialysis, he walked 20 very fast laps around the hallways on his floor at the hospital. He has an epidurial for pain management (small tube of medicine going into his back that anethisizes the nerve that would otherwise let him feel a lot more pain). He feels he should just 'grin-and-bear-it'.

Hi Gail, I thought I should also you to your new page. I have brought some of my hubby's peach wine and banana nut bread for you and your guests to enjoy and some fresh cut Betty Boop roses from my garden. Please visit my page when you get a chance. I haven't figured out how to decorate my page yet...I'm waiting vor my daughter, SaraLyn, to help me figure it out...maybe she will help me this weekend.

Gail, thats great, does anyone on site, have you email addy? (besides gath) I have quite a few, so let me know

Gail, have sent of email to Rola, will await her reply and forward you details.

Gail, don't know what the problem is with the chatroom,if Gath has said he has made the changes, then you should have a problem. Try logging out of the site, shut it down completly then open up again. If that doesn't work email Gath.

Hi Gail! I think the recipe page was a great idea and I'm happy to contribute. I'm off to the easy page to put in a reminder for more recipes

Hi Gail, I'm about an hour & a half away from Burnie.

Hi Gail, THanks for stopping by. I guess I'm just not very technologically gifted as far as figuring out how to post pictures. Mike, my hubby, came home from the hospital today. He now 'sports' a new 6 inch scar from the gall bladder surgery to go with his many other abdominal scars. I think that's his 7th or 8th abdominal surgery in less than 5 years. Anyway, it's nice to have him back home.

Gail, thanks for dropping in on my page. I am a bit out of my depth with some of this - what is a SA page? Don't remember posting anything frantic!! I am a laid-back person!!

Hi, Gail. Just to let you know did create a new SA page (called Sudokuaholics Anonymous 2). You will find it in the usual place. Gath will close off comments to the old one.

Oops, sprung. You caught me. We did have a little party in the SA room, sorry you weren't there. Sorry also that we left it in a mess, but of course you can help yourself to the bubbly.

Hi Gail thanks for the comments.
Our family is strong and will get though this.
Love, Kim

Were you gone Gail, hadn't noticed

so it was fun Gail?!

Hi Gail thought I would pop in for a visit have brought you a happy and help myself to a hope you don't mind

Thanks for the Anzac bikkies love them, not much going on at the moment my time is taken up with the golf club championships as I am co-captain so have been very busy as well as doing Opp shop some days I need a few more hours in the day. I'm glad you had a good time at the Bar Tour,I have trouble keeping up with the drinking these days.

glad you had fun the other night Gail - see you at the World Wide bash?!!

Hi Gail! Sane? I've never been sane! That's what keeps me young.

Seriously, Thank you. I am doing my darnest (new word) not to follow in her steps. Unfortunately all I can do is take good care of myself and exercise. The latest a bit difficult if I keep spending time sitting in front of the computer. Got to figure out how to place the keyboard on my treadmill.

Glad you dropped by, Gail. Am in Sydney, teaching, but miss my open fire and my dog. How's the rain in your hills? Plenty down by the coast

Hi Gail, Back from my holiday in Port Douglas, Had a fantastic time except for the rain, it is supposed to be the dry season, you would have thought wet, as it poured for almost the whole week, we estimate that we saw 45 minutes of sun in a week, but still managed to have fun went for a massage and walks on the beach, and of course out for meals on the marina. catch you soon LIZ

Gail, wafting the brownie smell your way as we speak! Will leave a few brownies for you when I'm done!
