cheers
see you at the party friday

Well, I haven't been here for a while myself, but it's nice to know there have been a few visitors call by. The Christmas pudding is ready for eating, so help yourself to a slice - with brandy custard, of course.

Hi Judy, Guess that it is hot and dry in Bendigo. I've spent several summers there with family over the past 25 years and know those hot dry winds well.

For Christmas Just thought I’d drop you in a bottle of home made LEMON CORDIAL. It’s fantastic with water and with soda water. Just the thing for Christmas under the jacaranda. Cheers.

Ingredients:
Juice of 7 large lemons
Grated rind of 5 large lemons
1 kg sugar
1.5 litres of water
25g citric acid
Method:
1.In a large pan, boil up sugar, water, grated peel and citric acid.
2.Take off the heat and add juice, If preferred, this may be strained.
3.Bottle whilst still hot into clean, sterilised (in oven ) bottles

Thanks Judy 'hic' for the 'hic' tiramisu. Very nice.
No, I don't watch 'Spick & Specs' because I think it's on here on a Wednesday night when I'm at badminton.

Hey Judy, just popped in to thank you for your wonderful birthday wishes you left me for my daughters today. And I also wish your lovely twins a very special also. The 19th December must be a good day for twins!

Judy
The magic of Christmas never ends
and its greatest of gifts is family and friends
Wishing you and your loved ones a joyous Christmas
and a Holiday Season filled with peace, love & laughter

Hi Judy. Many thanks for your kind comments on my photography. I try to make the photos interesting.
May I take this opportunity to wish you and your family all the best for a very Happy Christmas and a bright New Year.
Cheers,
Ian

JUDY - thanks for the tiramisu (sp?). It tastes better than I can spell it!
Have a great end of 2006, and an even more wonderful 2007.

What a wonderful treat to wake up to Judy, Thank you very much. I will leave you a bottle of our 'Kinda Snockered Winery' White Zinfendel wine. Cheers!

Hi Judy, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.

You asked at my place if it will be a white Christmas, don't know, but it was white with frost when I went to play golf today. So frozen course didn't open till after midday. We have our ladies fun christmas golf and lunch tomorrow(thursday) so I am off to prepare a costume to wear - think I'll go as a snowman!!!
Have a lovely tile over Christmas
and

Maybe a lovely time would be more enjoyable than a tile! I think someone spiked the mulled wine

Hi Judy. I have posted my Christmas greeting to everyone on my page, as I couldn't post the picture in the general comments section. Best wishes to you and yours!

Judy, the 'Bendigo' penny has just dropped! I now remember that our visit to Bendigo a couple of years ago was one which we both remember fondly. We were just touring, but could have stayed in Bendigo much longer because we both loved the place so much. My Mum and her family lived for several years in Eaglehawk where my grandfather was a policeman - this was shortly after his return from the Boer War so it wasn't exactly yesterday.
Bendigo is a great city.

Thanks, Judy! Love Tiramisu. I'm baking tomorrow. I'll distribute the goodies later this week!

Sending you lots of Christmas joy and cheer. Hope you have a good one Judy

Judy, the tiramisu was awesome! The first class cabin of our Sudoku plane got trashed on the trip to Napa. The damage is being repaired now, and we'll be ready to cruise around the world for a New Year's bash at 35,000 feet. Extra security will be onboard to tame even the wildest party animals. Put on something VERY sparkly; tell us the airport nearest you, and we'll fly in to scoop you up!

Judy, the days dwindle down to just a few before the new year starts, I'm traveling around the globe to wish my sudoku family the very best new year possible. Happy, healthy and prosperous new year to you and yours.

Hi Judy. I do hope you and yours had a great Christmas. 2007 is around the corner. A whole new year coming up, and so much will happen during this coming year. I do hope that you and yours enjoy peace, happiness, good times, (chocolate for those of you who indulge), and should there be some sorrow that befalls you, I do hope you weather it well and stay strong and positive. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year to you Judy, may you have a good one in sunny SD!

Judy, I just had to pop in again to wish you a very Happy New Year! 2007 has many possibilities, and I hope that you will find all the open doors and step through them to enjoy your best year ever.

to you Judy - hope that it brings all that you wish for!

Hey Judy
Happy New Year to you and your family and wow what a coincidence re motel. have had a few locals tell us they stayed here on wedding night etc. also.

you know I realised as soon as I posted the comment to Judy SD that you two were different people! Did the same with the two chris from canberra's too! We really need a list of all the people on here! Anyway you still have my best wishes for 2007!!

Judy, it was a rather disappointing start to the year, my health has been so good for the last six months. However, them's the breaks, as they say.

Judy, I rather stupidly responded to your comment on my own page. Sorry.

Judy, what a great idea to mark time. I have also thought of putting the static bicycle in front of the tele and watching a movie while cycling ( we don't actually have television programs). Maybe I should try and get 'The loneliness of the long distance runner' lol

Hi Judy....below is an extract from an e-mail Nicole sent to me today.
I feel like I have a different baby today, she has been awake but not needing to scream, if she does cry she is easy to settle/soothe, she is now asleep in the snuggle bed after about 1/2 hour or so of fidgeting (but not screaming), have hardly had to walk her around to settle her at all this morning, I don;t want to get too excited at this stage but it seems the colic relief may be working and if this is a normal day than things don;t seem so bad...

Hi Judy. I'm still waiting to see some photos on your pae. Are you planning on posting any? All the best for 2007!

12/01/07 - Hi Judy
I have finally named my little bunny. His name is SIMBA. Have you got some photos for your page yet?

Hello,

Just dropping by to wish you and your family a Happy Easter

here's easter bunny hopping on by with easter eggs for the kids ...... oh ok the big kids too!

Hello Judy - it's been a long time since I visited your page and I saw your comment on 'hard' today where I posted the Sunburnt Country so I thought I'd drop in and pay you a visit. I hope you had a lovely Easter break and you are benefitting from the recent rain, that's if it's come your way. We've had some rain for the last part of Easter and early this week but today and yesterday we had glorious weather. Did you read my comments on tough the other day about Middleton Beach being partly ruined in some heavy swells the other week.
I went for a walk tonight and only just managed to keep my feet & shoes dry the waves come up so far now.
Anyway, better go. Cheers

Judy, Thank you for sharing that inscription with us. It brought tears to my eyes. I can't believe that I have never come across it before - and I teach History (and I'm a good teacher, too)!!!

Hello Judy ,Itis my first visit to ur page ,as i am also new to all pages ,every one is so nice ,i would like to thank u for ur sympathy .Have a nice time.

Hey Judy, Its been awhile since I was last here, but had to thank you for the birthday wishes and kind words...I'm trying to thank so many kind folk that my visit must be limited, but next time perhaps we can chat awhile.

Judy, my wine goblets from the Bendigo Pottery arrived safe and sound today, after 65 days via Sea Mail. (I don't think I'll do that again, even if it is cheap.)

They make nice stuff there. These are stoneware, heavy as lead and good-looking folk(ish) craft.

Hi Judy, did you get to see the Dalai Lama? It was a cold day for Bendigo.
