Cool   Welcome to Top End NT where the wet season brings tropical rain and wonderous electrical storms and the dryseason May to September brings cloudless skies and warm days every day ... Come to think of it the nights are pretty warm too.

Hi Fii, Responding to your comment today about wind power; Texas and California are the biggest producers of wind power in America, if not the world. Even T. Boone Pickens, who is a notable oilman here in Tx., is investing in the development of the technology to transport the wind power to other parts of the country. good news for alternative energy sources.

Dropped in - have never been to Darwin and just wanted to check out the scene up there. Stunning sunsets - what a paradise for photographers. Look forward to seeing a few more of your hometown photos.

Hi Fi
I read your recipe for lemon cordial on Gail's page.. hope you don't mind if I steal it! A question though, as I am not a great cook.... When you bring the mix to the boil, do you just put it on high heat until it reaches boiling, or is it more complicated than that?

I have been reading about the bad weather in Darwin and am hoping that it leaves you unscathed!

Hi Fi!
Thank you for the info on the recipe. I will find some bottles and give it a go! I'm south coast NSW, about an hour south of Wollongong.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, but I couldn't find the back door until I got an e=mail from Canuk Greg. I thought that because I couldn't get on through the main page, that I didn't have access at all.....

Hi again fii, thanks for the visit. lOve your youtube about the car! HAAA! that was amazing. my youtube is actually from a pleasant place in my little Texas town. We have enjoyed Blue Hole and other rope swings in the area (those people in that are not my family). But no crocs here, whew!
Excuse my geographical ignorance but what does NT stand for?
That picture on my page is my granddaughter and me. She is one yr. old now AND I will be the gran of her and her little sibling come July. It's awesome!
Visit me anytime!

fii,I keep telling my friend who lives in Adelaide to get me a job (along with a work visa and air fare -one way) in Australia, but I think she thinks I am kidding. In our political climate here these past few years and esp. now, I am pretty serious! Someday, when I pay down some of my very expensive children's college loans, I am coming to visit as many places as I can on your awesome continent!

by the way, your avatar did come through; it is lovely. and thank you, my grandie is absolutely grand!

Gday fi, just popped in for a splash in the pool. Imagine my disappointment to find that it was a victim of the crash!
The first time I ever saw the photo of Bluey the wreck, my comment was that with a bit of wire and an ounce of luck, I know some bush mechanics that could get it going! I loved that TV show about them, they are so ingenious.

Hello Fi. Totally enjoyed you Bush Mechanics video. Noticed those boys were entering WA, maybe going down to Albany?
How is everything? Lot's of snow here, but that's typical Canada. Cheers!

Good morning Fii, I guess it took me all this time to get to your page. to Sudokuland, I am fairly new myself since I joined in October. Saw your posting today and felt I had to say HELLO. Hoping to catch you again soon.

I found your page today, and, as this is my first visit to your room, I have left one hundreweight of Jack Frost brand ice cubes in your fridge. They should provide for your esky and chill your drinks. Jack Frost ice is guaranteed to last, even in the hottest of climates.

Hi fii,
Thanks for visiting My Page.
I enjoyed your U-tube of the car escapade. Obviously you have abandoned M.O.T. testing in NT.
By the way, I 'come from' Yorks because I was born there, and I 'come from' E.Sussex because I live there now. I suppose, actually, I 'come from' an egg, add before that I was probably some kind of wave of consciousness in another dimension.

Hi Fi - you guessed right. I'm a sandgroper who has been dragged north - although to Hong Kong rather than Ca. I spent August of '95 in Darwin and saw a bit of Litchfield and Kakadu NP's, and quite a lot of the Casino's outdoor entertainment on Sunday afternoons! Much fun. HK is ok - but I'm still getting used to it....I REALLY miss my garden.
Love the you-tube with the Eagles jumpers! Ciao, PJay.

Hi Fi, just noticed your comments on a couple of my pictures, thank you. I was just about to start my 3rd year of nursing! That dam is beautiful! Even when the temperature has been over 40* it's still cool in the water, because it's totally shaded in summer. Last weekend I noticed some of the ferns on the side where I was standing, were very brown. This is probably the only time of the year (& spring as well!) they get direct sun and we had a couple of days over 30*. Not so today - it's pouring (no tennis!) & 18* outside. Just shut the back door because it's only 19* inside!!

Hi Fi, I am totally useless at remembering all the old crew who were around. Bucko was fun wasn't he, it is strange how people just disappear and are forgotten. I was in touch with QRP but now she too has gone from here, although she did come back once into the chatroom which was delightful. Love the photo's by the way wonderful shots.

Hi Fii! This earthquake doesn't follow a pattern for more according to the seismologists. The big active years were 1971 to 1994 then it quiet down. If this one isn't followed by another biggie then it's just one movement not a series.
Thanks for caring
