Thinking of you Freddie. Hope every new day is a bit better thn the one before. 
Morning Friends 
These winter olympics sure ARE exhausting 
Just amazing what some are prepared to put their bodies through .......... even the figure skating and those amazing lifts look 'injury promising' to me 
Shrove Tuesday today ..... anyone up for pancakes? We are ..... with lemon and sugar ...... yummo!
Queen Mary II visited Freo yesterday.... was not the least bit tempted to sail away 
Freddie - I do hope that each day sees some improvement for you ... chin up girl!
Spoiler
Notice I didn't dare say 'knees up'
~~~~Thinking of friends doing it tough at the moment~~~~
We try to 'do' Valentine's Day every day ......... don't always succeed but the spirit is willing
Currently into the men's downhill ...... not sure how long my muscles can hold up though 
Never achieved speeds like that in my skiing youth but it sure felt like it sometimes 
Now where was I? Right the FED Cup - we won through to the next round ...... only just though.
Back to 'work' for me now.
Take care friends ~~~~~
Kung Hei Fat Choy Stringers and other friends 🙂
Better late than never Deb
Some of those accidents sure send shivers down one's spine ........... in fact in every bone in the body!
Enjoy your days folks

Delighted to read the news of Oaks successful operation - I suspect, like me, many posters who do not post on her 'home thread' were also holding their breaths waiting to hear.
only just read this Laney ........ what a lovely surprise 
thank you very much for your well wishes
i sometimes forget that theres so many people reading my 'home' thread it's like im talking at the kitchen table
i let it all out haha, all the worries ,the moaning and the good news
No problem 'letting it all out' oaks and I agree - it is just like sitting at your kitchen table sharing news of all descriptions- and your 'happy day' wishes just demonstrate your caring nature in the face of adversity
Good morning Stringers and other friends too (you know who you are) ....... able or unable to post or choosing not to at the moment for whatever reasons.
More winter olympics (how is the knee Freddie?), more aching bones and muscles and amazing feats ..........
To be honest, I will be secretly pleased when they are finished and we can get things done around the place
Another typically humid February day here but easier to deal with than the poor folks up around Broome at the moment.
Have a good one friends .........
What a week it has been ........
Almost to the end of the Winter Olympics so time to get out of the lycra, take the boots off and put the feet up for a while
Seriously, it has been enjoyable and the athletes deserve every accolade for just 'being there' no matter whether they won medals or not. The spirit of camaraderie has been mostly evident also .......
Talking about spirit, we just had the St John Community Hero Awards here this week - gives reason to believe that we are not going to hell in a handbasket when we have such brave individuals in our community. So much to be thankful for despite the doom and gloom of world events.
Interesting article on the ABC News Feed yesterday - perhaps not so interesting for some though 
Just in case you missed it this is the link:

Magic morning for the Rottnest Channel Swim this morning ...... some swimmers were taken out of the water because of a shark sighting! Hope they are all safe although that might make some of the swimmers walk on water
Talking about water is there something the matter with the water in South Australia? That might explain some of the poor behaviour around the traps ....... although perhaps not!
The Commonwealth Games baton was carried through Freo this morning ...... kept clear of all that with all the 'positioning' by pollies which always goes with that sort of event.
