Have another wine Jood, but I know what you mean. Have spent quite a bit of time with a friend who lives near Kalbar (Qld). Aboriginal meaning for Kalbar is place of stars. Just the most amazing place, sitting around the camp fire. Pam

Oowh Mary you beat me too it I was going to say if you want to buy the plane tickets we would come over pmsl. While I am thinking of it I was talking to Sylvia from WA the other nigfht and she asked me to say hello to you for her. Tony and Barb have already been to Paris, I think it could have been while you was in Canberra as Tony left a post about being there. Cheers Sue

Mary - Tony and Barb went to Scotland, then Paris, then London. They fly from London to Singapore about 9pm tonight, I think Tony said.

I'm just south of Wollongong, Mary. Thanks for the welcome. Yvette, some of the moving ones were planes.... very funny. Susan

sometimes the moving ones end up being planes

We were in Wagga a few years back for our son's march out parade (Army). We sat outside one evening and looked at the stars. Couldn't believe the sky was so big and there were so many stars. I was reminiscing the other day and talking to my daughter about lying on the ground and looking up at the clouds. I used to imagine differents animals in the shapes of the clouds. Susan

I didn't go downstairs and look at the stars tonight, but I have travelled outback a lot, and sat around a campfire looking at the stars millions of times - well dozens. There are billions of stars up there. .. Sometimes you can see one moving, but to try and tell someone else which one is moving is darn near impossible. .. Of course, having consumed wines, it could all be imaginery .. pmsl. Jood

Hi Joy If you see Tony and Barb again, say hi from all here on the thread. Jood These bl******y frogs are driving me crazy. I must be one of the dumb ones. I think Laurie said something on Fri night about going fishin. Hope she caught something Yvette The moon has been out ALL day here. Now it is dark, stars spectacular. Probably more country here than surburbia, much better to see the stars. Will go out and re - study the stars. Pam

Yvette, I have just been in the backyard. A definate chill in the air. Have you had a good day? You've been working by the sound of it. Susan

I think they said that their flight is about 9pm today but can't remember what time they are due back home. Joy

don't know if i like the word games or not, tele is in another room. also oh's 'puter with 'net in his work room too so no distractions in here. ktichen's even further away. our house is really old. the hall way runs for the entire length with rooms off either side. segregates everybody quite nicely. thought that my relos may write but they are probably enjoying the b****y great weather. hope they all have there hats on

Thanks Joy, I was asking when they get back - miss them heaps! Yvette, been lurking here on the Wattle thread, and the games threads and playing games, and at the same time looking at the TV. I did do some work this morning - had a nap, and decided to take the rest of the day off. Jood

dear jood, where you been lurking? the others are watching sport so i am adding somewaffle here. has anyone gone out and looked at the stars tonight? hows the difference between surburbia and the country? have a look then find the southern cross. youngest male child and i spend a fair bit of time checking them out and we have decided that we found a new constellation . it's probably part of something else, but we call it the fisherman. theres a star up the top (head)one in the middle and down below 2, slightly apart (feet). you can look at it 2 ways. on side the fishing rod is up the other side the fishing rod is down. its just over from the sth cross. we are always amazed that we find it again. we read in a magazine that some aboriginal people look at the southern cross and see a stingray being pursued by two sharks (the pointer stars) . have another look ... how true. Don't know Tony and Barb, but haven't they had good weather for their trip? lucky possums. yvette

Hello. Have just spoken to Tony and Barb again. It's their last day in London (till the next time). They're off to St Paul's Cathedral this morning. Joy

I'm lurking Pam, been lurking all day !! Don't know where Laurie is, have a feeling she's been away this weekend. Welcome Susan - have seen you on the threads Jood

Hi again SuzyQ, went to weight watchers about 20 years ago - can't comment on todays standards etc. Am allowed 2 drinkies per day, (cough, cough, cough) I now drink chardy and not the really sweet wine (spumante) that I used to. Sorry about the footy results Jude. For a change, Bris had a win. Joodles, where are ya? Lara, where are ya? Laurie, where are ya? Still fishing ? So many have disappeared this weekend !!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a good night every one Luv Pam

Hi, everyone. Thanks for the welcome. This is a lovely thread. I have been reading through some of the pages and I think I'm going to enjoy joining in. By the way, people, Dr. Lew doesn't scare me but don't tell her. Susan
