Good morning to the thread:)
I have been to the dawn service as I go every year to honor my father who served in world war 2 (he was on the Kokoda trail) and my grandfather who served in world war 1, and a viet nam vet who will not march and says he would rather forget the experience.
In past years I have always had Alex with me and he had my dads medals and dog tags and I still have my dads dress hat lol, never knew why but he was called *Skeets* by his army mates:)
Miss thanks for asking about Darlene, she is still not 100%, she has had time off work, went back, but is having more time off, the anti biotics do not seem to be working.
She works in the medical profession and she had swine flu last year so I am a tad concerned, but she tells me she is ok.
I have decided I am not too sure about her so I am off to Brisbane on Friday for the weekend, just to make sure.
I am at odds with the world atm. I am missing my children and grandies so badly, I wish I could pack up and go south to be around them, but I cannot leave my Mum and step dad, so will just have to do weekends down there more:)
I hope everyone is well and enjoying a long weekend
Chatty gal, sending you prayers and my love darlin and hope your load lightens for you♥
God bless all whom traverse this thread♥

Hi Dame and yes something very special about the Dawn Service..........have been going since i was 5 which makes me older than dirt lol

Yes and isnt it difficult when ones parents are in need of all that extra care and just a gentle hand to guide them.......i know when caring for my mother i missed out on heaps and heaps........no brothers or sisters to step into the breach so to speak:)

Hope you had a lovely and peaceful day and am glad your daughter is getting better little by little:)

Good morning eveyone 🙂

Miss thanks for the well wishes, I'm ok. Good news is it isn't too bad! Things are settling down hopefully with lil prince. One day at a time I say! I'm back to the physio tomorrow for another appointment so will see how that goes.

Dame you are so sweet, thanks for always caring 🙂 I hope Darlene will be ok and recover quickly. I'm sorry that you can't be near your family, that must be sooo hard. But they are really blessed that you are such a large part of their lives.

Gotta go waves to all of you on the thread. It's DD's 14th birthday and what a joy she is. She has such a passion for life despite her disability, we truly are blessed!

Have a great day 🙂

Hi Bella and glad girl that things are starting to settle a little bit for you stress is a dreadful thing to be trying to cope with on a daily basis:) Keep on chuggin girl:)

Goooooooooooooooooooood afternoon to everyone and hope that everyone had a lovely and serene day.......thankfully here today the weather held for all the services.
Been nice and quite here after getting home from the service and seeing my son march with his grandfathers his fathers and his own medals. I had always seen him as being in the military all his life and they have now made the decision to return to service life in Canberra towards the end of this year. Not happy with the thought of that dreadful drive down there as it takes me three days but am sure will work out something just have to get my thinking cap on:)

Have a lovely evening everyone:)xx

Good evening all!

Hi JVH yes thank you kitties are thriving (bit of a handful managing 2 and juggling the dog without letting the cats escape lol) - brother home tomorrow so it will be back to babysitting children instead of animals! (Not sure which is easier).

Hi bella happy birthday to your daughter! Quite a few birthdays today!

Hi dame - Darlene is a pretty name! Sorry she is still under the weather. When my mother had the same ailment a change of antibiotic made a world of difference - tho I expect being in the medical profession your daughter will know whats best. It is difficult when you are torn logistically with family - but good you can still see them all.

Purple I expect you are on the ferry atm - bon voyage and a safe cruise into melb. in the a.m. (Coat and boots weather here today)

Pjbear hope you are well and still on the improve!

Waves to everyone else! Had a lovely afternoon in a local winery today - (seafood platter and local wines) - musicians singing great songs and a cozy fireplace - bliss!

Sweet dreams everyone!

HI Miss and the winery sounds wonderful and what a great way to enjoy the afternoon.......i so miss the big swings in the climate here.............i suspect we are in for another day in the high 20s.........trouble is the humidity is still about:(

Sounds like you have your hands full with all the animals........and yes can just imagine the old doggie wanting to escape..........all will keep you on your toes lol

Have a great holiday today:)

[jvharrison]

Gooooooooooooooooooooood morning all from the goldie and another hot day in the make........sitting here in t and peddle pushers.

Got a morning hitting the garden and then might go have a spot of lunch.........back into it with the tradies tomorrow..........gone are the days when tradies would be keen to finish and would work through weekends etc to get a job done.


Back in the 70s if we had anything done to wherever we were living the job would be started and then finished...........seems like some of the tradies are in it for what they can get and not prepared to go the extra mile. ..........oh well such is life when one is dealing with men:( Whinge over lol

HOpe everyone has a great day to day and is kind to themselves:)

Hi everyone


Yes the vet gave us some oatmeal shampoo and a leave in oatmeal condition and that has helped tremedously.

Just goes to show... a little run on the beach sounds wonderful and she loved it but its been a week now and I am not taking her back there again.

She is full of beans today and ok.

Somehow my quoted section didnt make it into the post. I need another cuppa perhaps?

Its quite cool down my end of the country... I am glad. Its been the most humid April I can remember up to now and so much rain! NEver complain about rain though, we store it in a baby swimming pool for the garden.

Since we have no kids everyone looks surprised to see it in our yard. bought it for the dog (see pic) but she wont go in it. Hate baths so that maybe why.

Even though its raining I think we still should be vigilant with water, don't you?

If we weren't renting I would put up tanks everywhere like my dad in law. He has four of them, behind trellis etc and painted a lovely colour. He made them into works of art, up on little decks and so forth.

Everyone can do their bit in their own way.

HI and i agree with you each and every one of us can do our bit for the country for the environment........i guess in our case many many years of watching the dollars and educating our respective kiddies has made us very careful with money and with the environment.

LOve the fact you bought a little pool for the hound and it doesnt like using it sounds about right re spoilt animals:)

I bought a black sheepskin at a garage sale and cleaned it and put it down for the cat in its basket.........of course the hound has claimed it lol:)

[missnogal]

Good afternoon everyone!

HI JVH fingers crossed those tradies do turn up and finish the job! Very frustrating. Enjoy the long weekend!

Hi beani your pooch is very cute (and lucky!) - On the verge here of getting a little dog (already bought a kennel) - popping into the animal shelter this week.

Dame hope your daughter is on the improve!

Pjbear ditto hope you are well and enjoying the long weekend!

Bella hope all is well in Bella's world!

Housework today (blah) and coffee with a friend thisafternoon - have a great day!
