andré from england

Wow ANDRE (still can't remember how to do the accent) and Anne, you guys are really quick!! thanks! Being me, I'll probably be a long time customising my page, I'm a procrastinator extrodinaire... But thanks thanks thanks for the welcome. Choxcolates and wine for you!

Sculptures are up for sale - shall I put in a bid for the "peas tree" for you? They change every year but always on the same beach.

I'm glad you weren't sick when you swirled as it tends to spray the padded walls and you know how they stain...I think you will need the long-stemmed glasses for the next installment...

it's Tinky Winky for me, please!

You've studied her? But she only has a readership of 3 to my knowledge...is there a Pulitzer in the offing, as I know for certain, (as certain as my Christmas tree will never be taken down this year at this rate) that she goes without pontificating a gem or any other rock band for that matter.
Extreme delight was definitely experienced as the power of the mind was exercised beyond that known to man or beast or anything with brains...Jazetta Doctora Elitius heard the incredulity in the timbre of her voice when she exclaimed delicately..."What the phouque?"

André I really had fun chatting with you this morning and hope to do it again soon. If your dad wanted your name to have one e at the end that is fine...and Ori is fine with me. Soon...I hope!

Hello André - a long time between visits and a very guilty tail between my legs visit as I have never got around to visiting people who wished my a happy birthday a long time ago. I shouldn't use the excuse of having my daughter and grandson staying with me, but I will as I don't spend much time on the computer with them here.
I hope all is well with you.

Hi Andre how are you?

yes reports of my demise are fortunately premature.

There's still plenty of time to eat chocolate. But does chocolate clog arteries?

not if you wash it down with enough wine!
Cheers x F

Wow! Grover Washington and a nice video. What a great find for your You tube! Thank you so much for posting this. I haven't heard it in a long time!

Hi Andre

Hows life up there?
We are still getting daily temps in the 30sC and regular rain but I suppose you have to expect that in the wet season.
As far as my work goes I finished with the last company last thursday and start with the new this sunday. Yes there are no public holidays in the mining industry so Easter Sunday is just a work day for some. Have spent the last two days doing inductions in Mackay which is about 800ks south of here, thankfully they flew me there and back. Am looking forward to getting started on the job and setteling in but until then will just catch up on chores arround the house.

Cheers for now.
Four ice cubes in a glass and pour until they float. Heaven.

So the Doc never arrived? He should've called on Doc Johnson - far more reliable...sorry to hear about the fire - er...did you get a fireman's lift in the process? I hear they are well proportioned men - big shoulders, solid legs, strong arms, twinkly eyes and quite competent in putting out fires.
Hey chocciebuns, so far so good minus the 'bunny'...and it's only saturday - must pace myself. Am flossing though - you're right about the sprinkles...
Have a wonderful Easter yourself, a little slosh of wine or cascades of it...whatever takes your fancy, you deserve it. mwaaah xxx

Ryoratus (Aeguta) Gaugeritius Happy Easter to your too, Schweetums ... I think I will give the chocolate a miss but bunnies (read as rabbits) and a good time sounds good Check out 'rocketman'

Hi Andre

Sorry for the delay in replying but have not had easy access to internet since I started here in the new job. Still waiting on my company phone and laptop. Yes I am here, had to do a longer stint here for the first swing to get a feel for the job and the new systems. As for More...


Diamonds I'd say there have never been any found as the gate security are not armed. Maybe the next mine.
Will fly out Wednesday so I should have more time to get on site, that is if the minister for domestic developments dosent overload my R&R schedual ha ha:)
Glass of delicious, a plate of delight and cheers to the sunset.

Thanks for your note, André. Dealing with my sick friend has been VERY trying! It's partly because our little gang consists entirely of alpha females, so nobody wants to take orders, and everybody "knows" what the proper course of action is!

andré, thanks for your support in our time of sadness. Yes, it's hard, but the good times with Simon so far outweigh the bad that it was all worth it many times over.

hi Andre how u doin long time its been really some time ....always like n read your quotes .thanxs for sharing them .....have a great day .

Hi André, thanks for the birthday wishes, I had a great day ♥

Hi chocolate woman! How are you?

andré; Thank you so much for the birthday wishes. Hope you had a perfect time in Spain. ♥

Hi André
I think it's always worth tossing in the odd blast from the past. We did have so much fun mucking with the name of Spuko from Bokane. I'd never heard of Spokane before that ... it did sound like some far off planet. :) Now what other charactors can I think of from way back ,,,

andré, parts of the city are back to "normal." Other parts are well cleaned up, but with many vacant lots where beyond repair houses have been removed. There are still parts of the city (like the 9th Ward) we weren't shown, because they were "too dangerous." Have you looked at my set of pictures titled "Posing with Statues?" I do have a lot of fun with that.

Hi André, and welcome back home (or would you rather still be in Spain?). Hope you had fun. Quite enjoyed your Nina Simone song. Thanks!

Hi André, thanks for dropping in to my page. Sorry I was a bit slow in responding but things have been a bit busy around here lately. I hope you are keeping well .
This is about the time of year when I remember looking anxiously for the first signs on new leaves on the trees. I think I managed to endure your winters only in the knowledge that if I was sufficiently patient, spring and summer would return eventually.
Take care.

I am typing in my sleep - I forgot to say that yes, we had a wonderful time in Melbourne. The Sudoku dinner was marvellous, lots of friendly, welcoming faces when we arrived and we made lots of new friends. vdV took me flying in his beautiful aeroplane which I found refreshing and it bought back fond memories of when I was flying. Afterwards we enjoyed a great lunch in a fabulous restaurant right at the airfield - they fly their crayfish in fresh from Bass Strait and keep them in a holding tank until needed.
All in all, it was both an adventure and for a few days, a rest. How was your Spanish holiday?

Thanks for dropping in Andre
Yep that was a blast from the past, have put up another one tonight LOL
Costumes are keeping me busy at the moment, Emily has ballet comps in three weeks, and I havn't even started one of them. Think a couple of all nighters will be happening this week.
So I'll keep an eye out for you in chatroom or msn.
Have a great day.

André, yes it is our new motorhome which we bought last week. We don't take delivery for a while yet, during which time we have allowed the dealer to display it in his showroom as part of the very good deal we did with him. Then, it will be lock the house, over the mountains and turn right (North) in winter or turn left (South) in summer. We hope to explore parts of our own country that neither of us have seen.
I can understand your love for Spain and things Spanish. Our son spent six months in Spain doing an immersion language course at a college which specialises in these things. He too, loves the place. I have never been - and am unlikely to go now that we have spent our travelling money on things Aussie.

Hi andre, I want to thank you personally for your birthday greeting. I did just join, but I have enjoyed your "thoughts for the day" for many moons. Actually, my birthday isn't until November 4th. I'm not sure where Gath came up with April 10th, but it certainly did make for a very special day. The timing was perfect. I was in need of some smiles. Again, thank you for taking the time to send me a birthday wish. Sudokuland forever, Margot

Hi Andre
I have joined "Friendless Anonomus" but I don't think it's helping because no one talks. Oh well at least I'm not alone, sorta.

Back to work. Catch you later.

May the light of good fortune ever shine on your doorstep.

Hi André, thanks for dropping by my place and wishing me luck for the marathon. Well, its over now and I ran about the time I expected (I was aiming for 3hrs 30mins and ended up taking five mins longer than that.) I'm quite sore but also very happy with my effort!

Hi André, the London marathon sounds much like the one here weather-wise! We started off in light drizzle, then the heavens opened and we ran in heavy rain for around the first 20km before having overcast weather for around 6km and finishing the last 16km in brilliant sunshine.

thanks for the message, I did receive one also.
Thank you also for last night, havn't had so much fun in ages, think we really do need to do another story soon!
Have an amazing day.

André, I have been overwhelmed by the kindness shown to me for my birthday. It really does make your day to find well wishers from all over the world have visited with such greetings.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

Andre, darling, send me a PM with your email address. I got the pics of JD and will send them along to you.

How right you are andré, I have no idea where the time went. But it was all fun. Thanks for your well wishes.

Thanks Andre. ( ...Wish I knew how to make that little thing over your "e"....) I am so afraid for her.
Funny that you had to correct your spelling of "niece"! For some reason I have to stop and think every time I spell that word because I normally try to spell it the first way you did! (Yours was probably a typing error, though!)
