Good morning Grandmoon------thats cold!

-Im not whinging again.

Lucky you got a new dressing gown and not a bikini--lol.

Richo.

Good morning everyone...

Grandmoon, that is very cold, I have been in Canberra when it has been that cold.

It is 9 deg. here this morning, in the Dandenongs that is cold.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Some great oldies here Purple-ranging from super fit posters like Freshwater-who looks after herself and the real gerries -battle worn -like Darki,Zaidee --Me and others. Gilly is beyond hope-lol. Just a few Richoisms. You cant keep all your rellies happy at the same time. You cant make strawberry jam from dogs droppings. Where theres a will ---------theres a relative.........Richo.

HEY!!! Wot's this battle worn stuff?  I''m not that, I'm just sore and p..sed orf :^O  but still can replant a small tree in the rain because friends drove over it and it needed a new home...  It has one :^O

Good Morning all from a very cold National Capital it is now a minus 4. I am sitting here in my new warm dressing gown I got from my son and DIL.

Hi Moon 🙂  I don't think a lot of people are aware that most times it is colder in some parts of NSW and Canberra than it is down here south of Hobart.

We can drop to -2˚ but it is rare to drop below that.... in NSW just west of Windsor we could drop to -6˚ and get a black frost that would leave icicles from gutters to ground.

It's just that winter lasts longer down here and it gets darker earlier and lightens later than further north.

We have had so much rain here lately and wind.. but I'm not complaining as I haven't had to go outside to garden and that has been a nice change 🙂

See ya all later xx

Hi Seniors--------------------keep breathing...............Richo.

Morning all

The sun is out here and the frost in melting, it was minus 4.4 when I woke up.

I am doing the washing today as I went to the granddaughters school for Grandparents day yesterday.

They had a concert and I saw  GD playing her recorder.

Good morning everyone....

Cold and wet here, but not as cold as where you are Grandmoon.

I am going to get my haircut today, then coming home to scrapbook in the warm.

For those that are interested in Beani's update, I have just posted a message from Mckool in Beani's thread.

enjoy your day everyone.

morning all....been away for a while cos of computer problems. 9 degrees here this morning...Lovely days later tho.

OH woke me up at 11.30 p.m. last night...time to have dins he says....I stagger about for a bit and then notice dishes that we used for dins......so said take your blood sugar levels......2.5!!!

almost a hypo....big bowl of cereal and a glass of orange juice fixed that.

I cook my gd. 'french toast' when she visits...bread dipped in beaten egg, fried in olive oil and sprinkled with brown sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice over it.  num

I check into the site every morning.  I think it is the best thread ever.  Why is that.....maybe with all our life experiences we have reach a stage where we can feel comfortable in our own skins.

I don't know how others feel, but I have had a life that most can only dream of.....and continues.  I love hearing about others' life experiences, looking back on their lives.   You are a great bunch of positive and inspiring  posters, without exception.

Gilly, do you like to cook?. I don't do stovework....never have, never will. There are some positives to being a vegetarian. LOL. My oven is 15 years old and is pristine. I don't clean it...I vacuum it. The only use I have for it is for heating dinner rolls.

If I have friends in for dinner they know what to expect, and grin and bare it. However,I make sure there is plenty of Red Ned on the table which takes away lots of the pain. Yes, I know, Red Ned goes with red meat, but what the hell!!!
