Hi Fii




Best wishes for the festive season to you and your family - I hope that 2009 brings all that you desire....

On Christmas morning, gather around the with your family and friends, with cups of coffee liberally laced with , and make sure everybody knows you them and wish them joy. May you and yours have the best of holiday seasons. Thanks for the lemon cordial. It sounds very tasty.

Fiona,may the Christmas spirit bless you and your family and the New Year be filled with joy and prosperity! Merry Christmas!

Dear fii,

Thank you so much for the good wishes, and the recipe! I will try it. It looks delicious.

It is great to be home at last.

Merry Christmas to you and your family, too!

fii, what a wonderful description of your Christmas morning, and on into the rest of the day. Yes, that was me overdoing it on the Stottish Scrawberries ... a very fond memory ... until the next morning. You asked for the URL on the guitar piece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUF-RevdZTs He has a lot of other pieces on Youtube. I especially recommend his Beatles music. Nicely done.

Hello fii - Thanks for stopping by! Merry Christmaas to you and your family, also! to you, too. May God's Blessings be with you.

It IS freezing here. It was about -10 (C) this morning and it has been snowing here for about 3 hours. (More snow!!!) It will make it easier for Santa to get here on his sleigh!!!!

Have a great day! Cheers

Merry Christmas dear fi!
Stopping in with Holiday greetings for you! Wishing you a Christmas full of love and joy ...and blessings throughout the new year!

Hou you been bean. I been Busy and just need another 3 days to be ready. have just finished roasting and cooling the beetroot and sweet potato for the salads tomorrow and am off to bed,

Wishing you a special Christmas with friends and family... May 2009 be filled with Joy hope, goodwill, health peace and love.

Hi Fii, Many Christmas blessings to you. May your day be filled with love and peace.

And in case I dont get back to it.....

My sister is in Darwin for Christmas. Staying with a friend of a friend in Humpty Doo. She is relinquishing (voluntarily) her 14 year old son to his father for the year who lives up there. He will be going to Palmerston High School.

Fii and family!

Happy New Year!!!

Fi! Wishing you a great new year!

for presenting all the data on the Beisa Oryx on the 22nd. It was my photo - I was gone for the Holidays. Some interesting facts. I think they are beautiful animals - as most antelopes and ungulates are. Maybe that is why I enjoy the deer in my back yard so much.

Thanks for the Christmas greetings hope you had a wonderful holiday may 2009 be great for you & your family.

PS - my U-tube is what I was working on between Christmas & New & Years - the televised presentation of our Animation Trophy Winner is the second "related" video.

Hello Fi - a very belated Happy New Year to you and your loved ones.
Thank you for your good wishes and I'm sorry I haven't extended mine to you sooner but things were pretty hectic at my place over the Festive Season with Rebecca and family staying with me.
I had a wongerful Christmas with all seven of my grandchildren together for the first time, so it was extra special.
Things are pretty well back to normal now (except the couple of extra kilos I put on) and I'm back at work which is fairly quiet at present. Just as well as I can catch up on here.
Take care and best wishes for 2009!
Anne xx

Happy Australia Day, Fi!
Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend!
Cheers!

Lots of love to you sweet friend!

Hi Fii,
Just letting you know I'm heading up your way in April. Travelling on the Ghan from Adelaide on the 8th April, doing some stop offs and touring along the way, and get into Darwin on the 14th. I have a conference in Darwin from 19th to 22nd and at this stage will fly hom on the 23rd. any chance of catching up with you at some stage?

Thanks for the info and links about St. Patrick.

fii, thanks for your anniversary wishes.

We were thinking of trying for dinner on Friday, 3rd. Is there anyone you would like to bring?

Don't worry about your flu, both Anne and I have suffered decent doses of the flu in recent weeks. Let's hope you are better by next week.

hi Ian,

Yes it's a nasty lergy, though the joy in it has been time out and it has been lovely to have some space, Re tea on Friday night, it sounds the best time really. Possibly Drue would join us for tea though I haven't run it by him yet. He doesn't share my sudoku tendencies and is more into fishing rods etc. Safe journeying and I hope that your anniversary has been a sonderful occasion for you both.

Hello Fi - I feel really bad that I've not been into your page for so long and didn't realise you had some beautiful photos here. Although I should have suspected you would have some lovely ones after different ones you've submitted to the site over the years.
There are some really great photos of up north and a lovely sunset one.
Cheers
Anne x

just hopping in to wish you a very Happy Easter and a season full of joy!

Dear Fiona (somehow you're still FII to me! But I do like Fi, may I use that moniker for you?)
Thank you for the Easter greeting. It's true that we may overshoot the message with another symbol like Christmas with Santa. But a gentle reminder comes handy. Hopefully your Easter was fulfilling with family happiness!

Thank you Fi for your good wishes. Have a Happy Easter and enjoy it with your family. Take care xx

fii, thank you very much for your Easter wishes, I enjoyed both cards.
Anne and I really enjoyed our short time in Darwin and have resolved to come back, this time in our motorhome.
I'm glad you are back safely but you have reminded me of the heat. When we were in Port Moresby we found it easy to acclimatise after about a week - but we didn't use air conditioners during that time. In Darwin we were constantly in and out of an air conditioned environment which made it difficult for us to settle down.
We have enjoyed our time with Keith and Lynne, they are gentle people and easy to look after.
Happy Easter from us both.

Fiona, You're very right. It IS about Jesus.
He is risen, indeed. Allelulia.

Dear Fi, your words have touched my heart, thank you. We have just got back from Adelaide, where we were celebrating my father's 80th, a quiet affair given our recent loss of Mum. My oldest sister was down from Sydney and with her, Dad, my brother and our families, we scattered Mum's ashes in the garden that she loved so much. My dear father bought us all a little silver box to keep a little of Mum with us always.

I wonder just how much Ian and Anne explained about our firm friendship?! They are the loveliest couple I have met and we got on famously.

Thank you for dropping in with your Easter greetings, it was very clever how amusingly they got such a poignant point across.

Blessings to you ♥

Hi Fi, Happy Easter to you too, but me tinks you sent Kath's message to my page.
Hope all is good in your world.
Broni

Thanks, Fi for the Easter wishes. I am sorry I am late with my reply. I have had a busy weekend as all my sisters and my brother plus husbands and wife and some of the grandchildren come to Dubbo for my Mum and Dad's 58th Wedding Anniversary on 10th April. It was great! - plenty of food, laughter, photos (you might see some of Kate's soon) and nice memories.

Thanks for the Easter card that did arrive in the end. I guess, if you are a bunny who has been told Easter is for you, you should not go to the cinema on your own at Easter. I watched Monty Python's 'Life of Brian' over Easter. Had a good laugh but wondered how they got away with it then.

Hello Fii
Many thanks for the Easter Blessings.I am Christian too Fii,but being Greek Orthodox,our Easter is this Sunday.Dear Fii I do enjoy a big EASTER break for I am in Perth now and I will spend about six weeks here.Let me send Easter blessings to you too Fii even if they are a bit late.I hope you will forgive ne for that.
Regards
Harry

Fii,its unfortunate that Christianity has been split in a few denominations,but there are only minor differences.We all celebrate HIS Birth in Christmas and HIS rise from death in Easter.
I am reaiy having a good time here in Perth,because I am whith my son's family.Perth is a beautiful town and my son has taken me to many places.Thank you for the blessings my dear Fiona,I must say that you are an amazing lady and you certenly have my highest regards.
Harry

Hi Fii
I do have a wonderful time here in Perth.My son has twin boys about a year old and I tell you they are alot of fun.
Dear Fiona if we only could trust and love each other and not be so greedy we would be living in a perfect world but we are not perfect to make this world a paradise.Blessings my dear Fiona take care and do your best like you always do.Regards
Harry

Hello fii, thank you for your comment on my father,he was a wonderful person. I saw your poem on EASY and was most impressed, you wrote it I presume.
Anne and I have fond memories of our time in Darwin and the dinner with you was something special.
I hope life is treating you well.
Love from us both.

Really enjoyed your poem today, Fi - thanks for taking the time to post it.
