Ppppppppppppppp, Jood. See, I knew what you were thinking. I'll be online, heeeee, heeeeee, heeeee

Lew - its them wot are left on the thread you gotta worry about keeping on top of - not us genteel ladies at the casino. Jood

Well done to your Katherine, Anna. You must be very proud. The computer man will be here shortly to sort out the laptop. We're having a wireless router installed, so I'll be able to keep on top of the Sydney Meet from down south. Lew Lew xxx

You wouldnt dare, would you Anna? .. A nice girl like you? hee hee - well don't forget that your ringleader is away also - Lew Lew !!! Yvette - from memory the light train stops underground, we just have to find the Casino and not Star City - or is that the same thing. .. I dunno. .. I'm sure Sandra will know - or Mary. Ooops - I forgot Anna, congrats to your daughter - you must be very proud of her. Jood

Morning all from chilly Qld Quite a nip in the air this morning! Been for an early morning walk and my nose froze! Eisteddfod is over for us for another year. Some brilliant musicians amongst our young people. How talented they are and how much work they have put in over the years to reach this standard. Katherine was awarded 2 highly commended certificates so I am very proud because believe me, the competition was tough. I'm getting very jealous with all this talk about the Sydney meet! Hope you all have a ball. (Psst - you other stay at home Wattlers - we'll have to create mayhem whilst the others are away!) Have a good day everyone Love Anna

I know where the light rail stop is. Haven't been on it before as usually walk down that way. The weather report for 12th August (as per accu weather) is partial sunshine with a maximum of 18 real feel temp 21. Doesn't indicate rain at all. All sounds OK. I have a little Sydney book somewhere from the other week when we went . I'm sure it will have the light rail route in that. love from Yvette x

Hi - again! Princes DI(y) - I knew Laurie was picking you up (it was Laurie who showed us how to get to the Casino last time, I think! - can't remember, we just sort of got there. .. I guess there will be signs when we get out of the light tram, and we can always ask. .. I believe we are meeting you at the Casino - somewhere. Mary is definitely coming - I doubt she would miss it - she really does want to see us all again. Jood

grumble, mutter, yawn, stretch aggggg Finally got to bed 2 ish and the next thing I know, all this thumping and banging outside with engines running. Hubby leaps out of bed, rushes to the window and it's only the FIRE brigade, police etc as the Community hall just up the road was well alight. - gutted actually but no-one inside. Morning all :) Going to have brekky and then onwards to the boat. I guess Mary will have to come to the casino now..... She'll be really suffering 'Wattle' withdrawal by then!!! ~~~~~~~~~~ back much later, Vonny PS Just looked outside. it's a wonderful day :)

Lew pack lots of winter woollies you are gunna need em. Jood - Laurie has kindly offered to pick us up at the airport with Sue (she gets in an hour after us) so we are putting ourselves in her and Rays hands - they will lead and we will follow -lol hopefully to the right place.

Morning all, you late arisers, and nite nite RB Lyn, we will be undercover all the way once we get on the train - the light rail is connected to the station, and goes right under cover to the casino. .. I was just thinking tho - hope someone knows the way in once we arrive there - Sandra???? Mary ??? (Oh bum, Mary can't answer) Jood

Hi Princess DIY and Yvette. I'm not a morning person either Princess. I'll be thinking of you lot next Saturday while I'm down in the freezing cold of Bright. We're completing the census on Tuesday night, then heading to Bright on Wednesday morning. It's only a 10 hour drive, so we should be there in time for dinner. We'll have the laptop with us, so I'll be able to keep checking in on your all. Lew Lew xxx

Morning all, Brilliant sunny morning after yesterday, when our rainwater tank could have been filled 10 times over and that amazing storm down on the coast at La Perouse. I didn't know a thing about it until I saw it on the news last night. I was sat at work with rain dripping through the office ceiling, we laugh about it as after 7 yrs Centre Management still don't know how to get anyone to fix the leak properly so that rain doesn't come through the flat roof! Let's hope weather remains nice for next Saturday as Sydney can be evil on a wet windy day (no flowing skirts now girls if it does turn out windy, otherwise we'll have to anchor you all down!) Shazz - hope you are up to scratch next week, but remember I have offered to push your wheelchair if need be, Mick, Rob and I can take turns at terrorising you. Trifley - hope you are going along okay. Have been thinking about you. Mary - Trust you are disposing of lots of things you don't really need ready for the move. I have boxes of goodies that I haven't even looked at in the 2 yrs since we downsized. Which quite obviously proves OH's point that I never needed them in the first place. Hi to all the other Wattlers and did I see FNQ coming on the boards? Bet your weather is a lot warmer than down here, roll on summer I say. Have a good weekend everyone. Lyn

Off to bed now.........catch up in the morning. Nite,Nite. R.B.

Night Julie ~~~~~ morning Lew - you snuck in while I was typing jude 3

Good Morning, Jood, Julie, Yvette, RB & Gwenda (although you have probably headed off to work by now) very foggy, 4 deg day in Melbourne - brrr - bit nippy! Ooooo this time next week we will have landed in Sydney -yeah and we get to meet lotsa wattlers. I might be awake by the time we land after being up 4 hours previous - Ken reckons it takes me 3 hours normally to wake up cheeky beggar! Just 'cause I'm not into conversation first thing of the a.m. hours. What were you lot on last night? pmsl this morning reading all your messages. Poor Mary she will be suffering withdrawal symptoms by next Saturday. Ah she will have a good dose of wattlers to keep her going til she is reconnected. Well better do some work jude 3
