Morning Cat. If you let me have your email address, I'll send you my house photos as well. I don't want to put them on the GC page - privacy and all. Lew Lew xxx

PMSL, Laurie. Good one. Even though he's a man of God, I'm sure he has a sense of humour. He must have! He's related to you, lol. House photos being sent to some of the address I had. I had a heap rejected 'cause the email was too big, so I'm now sending in batches. Lew Lew xxx

Make your mind up Joodles, you told me to not send you stuff . . . anyway dont feel left out, because the offending material was promptly deleted in case it was a msg from God !!! pmsl . . luv Laurie

You take care of you Yvette, glad your back home and OK I am feeling really yukky, I have done something really stupid! Know how I told you a while back that my cousin had got the OAM in the Queens birthday honors - and how he is the Bishop of Dubbo, well I got hold of his email addy a while back and sent him a congrats msg - we have exchanged a few emails with family news etc, as you do. Earlier today I got a really funny email, a bunch of naked hunky men shaking the booty - with one not so hunky exception - I accidently sent it to the Bishop !!! He sent me back a tut tut !! Well you might laugh . . . but I feel like the wrath of God is upon me! luv Laurie

yo girls, i'm back, head hurts, just waiting for the boys to finsh watching star wars i'm on the lounge with painkillers to watch a girly movie and probably the back of my eyelids. most probably yak later as i've had heaps of 'sleep' today.thanks for all the lovely wishes. yvette x

Afternoon Wattlers Well I had a very informative day at the Library, well I hope it will turn out that way. As I was looking through the papers for birth notices a lady came and sat at the next machine, she got out her lappy etc and greeted each other with the usual hello,and while talking, I mentioned how she looked so well set up as I only had my pen and exercise book. She then mentioned that she was going through all 'The Advocate' newspapers indexing all the births, deaths and marriages. I mentioned I was only mainly looking for births for one family name, she asked what the name was and when I told her she said, oh I might have what you are looking for at home, as she has a tree of the Family name I was after, with most of the births, marriage and death details, we mentioned a few names and she added a bit into the conversation, which I knew fitted in my tree. So we arranged to meet on Wednesday so we can go over the names and hopefully I can confirm dates of some births etc. Laurie thankyou for the emails I especially was tickled pink with the one about good morning to a friend far away, Ooh I hope the dolphins will be splashing about when I come over to Sydney, they are so beautiful. Well must go and start organising tea as David will soon be home, and I will have nothing done. Cheers Sue

G'day Waffling Wattlers, Havent been on here for a while, have been busy with several projects I needed to finish and spent the whole weekend finishing them off, one is an album for my grandsons 21st, I had so many pics and keepsakes so with what his Mum had I made up an album in the scrapbooking method and I am quite pleased with the result,also did one for my son who's birthday is in August, a good way to hand over all the pennants, certificates as well as photos, a present for someone who is hard to buy for. Welcome to Susan, a bit late I know, and another person for the Gong area,are you near Yvette? I am the Northeren Subs. Mary happy packing, as Laurie said fun to look back at stuff and reminece. A while back SusyQ you were asking about your usage on Bigpond /broadbandwith 500mb. we have only 400mwhich was fine until about 3 months ago we have been in dispute with them since then. we have been out of the house and come back to find our usage had gone up, we have a usage meter, also recieving and sending picture jokes ectbumps up the usage. we are locked in to a contract till Jan so can't change till then. It is now pouring down in the Northern Gong and some thunder, so will be back later perhaps. Hope all the sick people are feeling better Sandra in the Gong

Oh look at this - everyone is busy today !! No Mondayitis !! I've been up to Rockdale to pay some bills, and couldn't wait to get back out of the cold wind. Feels like it coming off the south pole. Not fair - have you seen the temps in the UK ?? Not to mention the temp Vonny is basking in! Aw well back to the kitchen . . catch up later luv Laurie

Oooooooooooooooooh more sick people!!! You take care Pam & Lew & Yvette Thanks for the advice re Origins Ducky Jood

Since I wrote that msg Lew, the clouds here have turned black, its darker, and I can see the trees waving around, so it must be windy too. What a bleak old day. Jood

Jood, if anyone is interested British Origins is having a FREE day on 4th July (American Independance Day), but the time span will have to be taken into account as to when you can get any info. Yvette, good luck for today. Lew, the weather here is perfect. No wind, the water is like a mill pond - bewdiful. I'm a bit like you today, sore throat and just feeling off. Not even going to hydro today. Laurie, ain't love grand. When I go riding in the morning, I quite often sit and watch the dolphins play. They love to have an audience and if they do, they have a ball. Jill, don't know the Moore family. My friend lives in Roadvale which is a few k's from Kalbar. ~~~ Vonny Pam

Good idea, Jood. It's just turned very cold here, too. Very heavy clouds have now descended, but I'm not sure there's any rain in it. Might have to curl up on the lounge with my book for a while, under a blanket. Lew Lew xxx

Hi Jill - left a msg re June in the early stages when it was only up to the first 2-3 pages, there has been many more since then. No Laurie, Shaz didnt tell me she was talking to you - and I didnt give Lew your address till just before I went off, so had no idea, I thought you were talking to someone in the states only. .. ntw Well no reply from my Essex girl to whom I sent my entire Cook family history to :-( I suppose that happens. .. She seems to only write one message a day .. maybe tomorrow I will get lucky. .. And no reply from the guy who said he sent a msg that I didnt get (but didnt re-send it!) .. And no reply from No. 3. Still, they say 'good thing come to those who wait' - that I have been waiting ooooooooooooooooooh many many years, is beside the point !! pmsl. Colder here today than the past few days, very cloudy outside. .. Hopping into bed for half an hour sounds a better option. Jood
