Horrible news from the SCG with Phil Hughes in a critical condition after being hit - head or heart they are not sure.

Not to say that is the only awful thing in the news. Sure focuses the mind on how fleeting life can be - so many things to make one reassess priorities.

oh that's terrible Laney, I hope he's OK

I heard about that on the radio when I was coming home this afternoon. I do hope that he will be ok.

Good morning Stringsters

Laney, I don't know anything about liesegang-band weathering (I must have slept through that class :)) but it certainly looks unusual.

I turned off the alarm for this morning because I am starting late and didn't want to wake at 6am. OH kept me awake snoring most of the night then jumped up at 6.10am to look at his watch to make sure I didn't sleep past the extra time I had allowed myself .....and woke me from a dead sleep.......argh!!!!!!!!!

Keep up the good work Joono.

Happy Birthday to your daughter Flashie.

Seafarer phoned me from the ship to state they were drinking a peach mocktail and taking in the view of the Opera House and passing boats while waiting to sail. Sounded very relaxed 🙂

Have a great day everyone.

morning all

that' sounds like it must be very nice to be onboard Prim

Morning everyone.  I would love a cruise.  What a great way to relax.  Next time I hope you can join them Prim.

Off to the hairdressers for my well overdue cut and colour.  I had to cancel my last appointment due to no car. Hopefully I will be there and back before the expected storm.  I can feel that storm in the air already and my internal barometer is doing a spin.  

Have you got some big fires burning in WA??

hope you're all OK

Evening Stringers 

j*oono was right about the weather - storms have been rolling in all afternoon and evening.

The lightening has been the cause of a few fires here in WA Deb - as night settles they seem to have got them under control - hopefully at least.

We had to go out but managed to get home before the worst of it hit.

Nothing much of import to report - just wanted to say hello

Hi Laney and everyone.  The storms were good today and cleared the air.

Did anyone else watch the Arias?  Molly Meldrum really deserved his hall of fame award.  I loved the way he kept calling John Paul Young Squeak.

Molly really did so much for the Australian music industry and thank goodness people like him help young artists
