morning all

I remember Arsenic and old Lacebut not the others....How about The Day of the Trifids? that's a golden oldie

If you can get 'Kind hearts and Coronets' gil, do... it's a great movie and keeps you thinking about it for ages after.

Ah yes, 'Day of the Triffords' I remember.  I bought the cub's cub 'The Children of the Corn', a horror moving from about the 70s I think.  This way I am safe that she hasn't seen it :^O

My eyes are allergic to something at present, probably mowing the grass, so I am seeing through much watering... will catch you all tomorra  xxx

Gilly...please make sure you have your insurance policies, banking details, property titles, etc. with you.   I went to a bush fire brigade meeting last week and they advised that people who cannot supply documents are put at the end of the claim investigation queues.  Just photcopies will suffice. It is so easy putting them into a bag by the front door. I am not taking my laptops.  I have just loaded everything onto thumb drives.   As the brigade said....it may be a false alarm and you can go back the same day.....and always lock up your house when you leave because of potential looting.  Evidently this is common....opportune thieving. I am ready to grab my babies and leave without thinking about what I need to take with me....including water for the wee ones. That new advert on tv about planning to leave really hits the nail on the head.

I am not 100% sure of this, but with the modern laptops and computers, is not all of the information stored on the cloud and you can access it then from any computer anywhere. Perhaps someone who is more computer literate can clarify this. We also back onto a National Park and until I read this thread today I had forgotten to get the emergency pack together. Will do so tomorrow.  Also perhaps you could include your passport.

good idea about the passport Jean...will get my emergency pack tomorrow....thanks....and freshy too.

At the moment I am sitting here with an ECT..Echo Cardiogram 

strapped to my chest with wires and a recorder dragging down my shoulder.  Have to sleep with it and take it off tomorrow at 4 p.m. and return tomorrow to docs. surgery. Not expecting a good sleep

night everyone ♥

night everyone ♥

Before you try to sleep with that thing strapped on, try a few large whiskys.  ]:)

I had one of those some years ago gil... annoying bluddy things they are 😞

Hope all is well with you and it shows up how healthy you really are.

Actually jean, I think you are right.  Nowadays we can ring an insurance or health company and with enough of our personal details they can bring up all the rest of our information.  

So yes, it's in the clouds, along with our ancestry.com stuff and god knows how much more.

I'd still take my lap top, it's small and very convenient 🙂

you mean "concrete softeners" Jean?.....did that with a few chardies.....one cord came off in the night...plugged it back in in the morning.....2 weeks to get results.

Evening gerries---just lost a big post.

Not happy.

I worry about you Gilly.

See if this posts---catch up.........................Richo.

Don't worry about her Richo, gilly has been surviving chardies for years :^O

Isn't it maddening when you lose a big post.  The Apple macs have something called 'stickies' that you can open and put a post on before pasting in here.  I have used that a lot for reading back or to avoid losing a post.

Does Microsoft have something like that?  It does help.

What has happened to this year?  I can't believe it's almost Christmas again, do the years speed up do you think?
