Mmmmm Caaake
Oh wow, THREE birthday cakes. I can't fit into my jeans and I don't think it's my snacking, although I tell mum it is but I'm afraid Lisa it may be the alcohol :o( . I know Bernice, a couple of glasses and I'm gone but I have only two max' at home but that's all I can put it down to. I'm not pregnant, that would be a miracle! We are supposed to be doing a cleanup this w/e so I hope to get access to my elipticle machine on the patio and start up the 'jogging' again, such as it is.
I envy the Jessups going over the other side for xmas while our only christmas chimes will be the blow flies buzzing around the kitchen and windows. We are going to Gregs for a few days so that'll be nice.
I packed all, well most of my skinny jeans away today and will continue to slowly pack in the event we move to larger premises. As for my wayward children, I forget if I mentioned in my last post but Giancarlo bowled over a 91yr old lady at church last week, fair dinkum her legs were like skittles up in the air. Just as he did that Angelina pulled my cup of tea down over herself, it had cooled enough not to burn, Praise the Lord because I drink my tea scalding hot. As I fumbled her into the pram my typical twisted humour set in and I had to fight back laughter of this poor old dear "boorie leg up" on the floor. I rushed home in tears. He certainly IS spirited!
I have a Bunnings BBQ fundraiser for playgroup tomorrow and then Lisa I go for my first drum lesson. The fellow has a system for 1 handed players!
Tony's BSL 2.7 at lunch, AFTER eating an orange. He stresses me, I don't know which one of us will die first! His cousins husband died last week, only 39yrs old. Autopsy yesterday and funeral sometime this week. Tony will go, hope it'll be a wake-up call to him.
Gotta go, two pin bowling again in the morn' and it's already midnight!

The Jessups are coming!!
Morning all. The Jessups are coming! For Christmas! WOW!!! What do I want? VEGEMITE!!!
My needs are few, but vege is a must! After I got the word Lyn, I got my giddyups on and started to get organized! (I usually wait till about 22 of Dec. for that!) Bill put our outside lights up last night,early, but I have been nagging (Yes, me nag. Seems odd, doesn't it?) He usually waits till the coldest, windiest snowiest night, but last night was not bad. I wont let him go up on the roof without me being close by, (the roof is high) so I backed the car out into the drive way and sat in it to watch. Kept me warm, and I was able to run and fetch for him. I have a cleaning lady coming to vac for me to day...back wont let me do it now.....then we will get a bit of holly and or a Santa up downstairs. Best go. It is now after 7 and I need to be up and at it. Shop this am, Chamber meeting 12 noon, make jelly for our sick and shut-ins at 1-30, get ready for friends to come for supper. (Another computer lesson for me before supper!)
Kelly will be home to day. I had a wee glass....OK, OK, a BIG glass of wine for her last night. I know she is feeling down, and wine always helps me !! Will likely talk to her to morrow.
Talked to Cec and John last week. Both well. John still up beat. Only 3 treatments to go.
Will get back on as soon as I can. Love to all. Mona

Howdy all, wassup? Same old same old here. Playgroup this morning and yesterday. Yesterday it was at Roselands pool. We met at the toddlers pool, an ankle deep 'pool' about 20'x40'. It was a good day for it too. Hokey loved it, splashing and squirting everyone. Angelina freaked, she's decided she doesn't like water lately. Hope it passes because I plan to have her swimming soon.
Sunday we went off to church before Greg and mum left for Gregs place. I haven't been for a few weeks and really needed to have a spiritual hit. I was going to leave Hokey at home because Marcus was still here with Greg but he insisted on coming to church so I said "Ok, hurry up and get dressed" which he did. The service was lovely as usual and I wasn't going to but did stay for a cuppa afterwards. I was sitting at the table with all the old girls who I hang out with at church and was chatting with a lady who I hadn't yet met as another church's congregation had joined ours due to friction within their own original church. Anyway, Eilene was her name and another lady spoke to her and she stood up to reply and turned to go get herself a cuppa when Giancarlo came tearing through the hall. I saw it all before it happened and yelled to stop the lady and also to try to halt Hokey but it was too late. It was all in slow motion but happened so quick, he bowled her over, all I saw was legs like 'skittles' it the air, seriously, he litterally bowled her over. She was boorie leg up. Luckilly she was fit and spritely and didn't break her HIP, just a little nick on her arm. As I and everyone else was tending to her Angelina pulled my cup of tea down onto herself. She was screaming, I was crying and Hokey was off running around outside again. Another lady took Ango to the bathroom and in the sink under running water, by that time it was the cold water that was freaking her out. My tea had lost it's scalding edge so I knew she was ok, and she was.
Bernice, Meg said to "Keep an eye out for the tiger"... ??? I hope you understand, I haven't a clue.
It's so humid here. Supposed to storm and I've taken the top off my worms in anticipation of the rain coming. They need a good soak through.
Lovely Belinda, it will be lovely to go over to the Canadians for christmas. I'll thank Bill when he sends my ticket ;oP
I have to go, it's 8pm and Hokey still hasn't bathed so I will go get him in. Take care and love to all,

Lemon Tree reporting
Well hello all, I'm still here and thinking of you all and not keeping in touch as I should. But I will endeavour to rectify that problem in the near future.Like everyone my life is rather hectic and stressful at this point in time.I have been hitting the paperwork like a demon trying to get organised for court this Wednesday and I am running out of time.
I've had to itemise all my bank records from 1998 till now as proof of finances I've contributed to the marriage. Well I've only just managed to get through one account and what a headache that was 2 more to go and a credit card as well. I wont make it with 48 hours left. I also have to marry up what reciepts I have with bank withdrawals as further proof. Print off photos I have to discredit Luke's character which wont be hard to do.Anyway I wont go on with details just to say I have a hell of a long way to go and no time to spare.
We have had one offer on the house and accepted it. However the people are also looking at another property on the coast and have not made their minds up yet. So pray for me that they will see the beauty of Crookwell and move there.
Lemon Tree had a bit of an arts and crafts festival on here this weekend. I didnt see any of it due to paperwork but there were a few people around. There was the blessing of the fleet yesterday, I heard a lot of boats going past in the morning but didnt walk down to the waterfront to watch the event. At least they had nice weather for it.
Marcus is well, he goes over to Toni's on his push bike a couple of times a week.He and Jake go off to the bike track and do what boys do there. He has settled in well here and likes his school. He got 39/40 for an assignment (I helped of course) so I was very proud of myself!!!!!!
Jacob has his final exam for unitech this Wednesday, goodluck mate I hope it goes well. Marcus heads off to New Zealand on 13/12 until the 10/1. He didn't want to be away for that long because he had arranged to have his Crookwell mates come and stay here for a week and he go back there for a week. Brett being Brett did as he saw fit. Marcus has a job interview this afternoon at video ezy where Lauren works, Jason at the new fish&chip shop come grocery store down on the waterfront said he will give him a job in the holidays as well.Marcus none too happy with having to go to NZ at all now.
Garry is doing well in the butchershop, business has really picked up and with Christmas looming he has so many pork legs to get cured for hams or smoked or what ever they do.He had to buy another freezer 2 weeks ago to hold all the pork legs. And now that the weather has warmed up there are a lot more barby's happening which means more meat. He has his father there everyday helping out and even though I was very put out with that arrangement I must say now I am grateful that I am not there because Iwouldn't have got as far as I have with my paperwork. He spent the whole day in the shop working yesterday and was rather tired when he got home from work. Then he cooked tea while I was at the books still.On Saturday night he had his daughters formal so I missed out on a birthday as such.We did go out for lunch when he finished work and he gave me a beautiful heart locket. We plan to do something nice this coming weekend, weather permitting.I was feeling a bit sad and lonely myself on Sat night so headed off to Coles and got a cake, a few nectarines a mango and strawberries. Laid a blanket out on the floor and lit a couple of candles. I had me a little party with the birds. Benny the peachface, Gregory the baby galah and rooster the indian ring neck.I watched a video and then went to bed.Another year older, but none the b****dy wiser.
Mum is over at Gregs, he will leave for work today at about 10am to get over there and have a sleep before night shift. I will go over after lunch and take mum to the skin cancer clinic to have that keratosis burnt off her nose.She picks at it all the time.
Had a good chat to Peter Tully last night.It was good to hear from you Peter.
My cup is dry so I had better head upstairs for a refill, Marcus has just left for school and its time I said cheerio and get back into the book work.
Love to all
Meg
PS Aunt Mona you said to me once to keep all my receipts, a good piece of advice thank you.I will pay off for me now I pray.I just have to sort through them all now.XX

Good Morning
It's almost 0500hrs. I woke just after 4 to go to the loo and couldn't get back to sleep so made a cuppa and logged on hoping for some new news, none :o(
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG GIRL, I don't have a card yet but don't think you'd appreciate my usual style so will have to find a more subtle one for you. I still haven't posted Marks or Jetts. Marks is a classic. I'll put it up here after I send the original to him!
Bernice, so rude of me not to think to say it in my last post but I'm so sorry to hear about Kelly. You must be crushed. I had Boo clipped the other day and she's been a happy little house dog for a couple of days but because she will stay hidden in the one spot for 20hrs or so Hokey hasn't realised she's been inside and hasn't had a chance to bug her.
Greg and Marcus arrived about lunchtime yesterday. Marcus came with me to collect Hokey from school at knock-off time and just as we were pulling out Deb' (mate 2 streets across) was walking past our place with two of her children on her way to pickup 2nd youngest from same school as Hokey. I told them to "jump in" and we went to collect the boys then all piled back into the car and went round to Deb's for a couple of hours. Not long after we arrived there the 4th child arrived home on the bus. He's a really cute and funny little kid. The little ones all climbed over Marcus because they all love him and Anastasia took him to her room to play on the computer. I said to Deb' "I think someone has a crush" but she said it was ok, 'Tash does the same with her cousin who is the only boy in a family of 6. Well, the other boy is 15yrs older so the little fella is surrounded by girly thngs and doesn't touch 'Tasha's things but she'll crack up if her own brothers go in her room. I'd left baby at home with Tony, he wasn't going anywhere. He went to the Dr's on Wednesday but had his appointments mixed up and not due to go until Monday. The doctor wouldn't see him despite his being so sick. When I'd booked him in to my doctor for a full checkup the doctor didn't do any blood tests or anything despite Tony rushing to the bathroom to be sick while he was there. Mind you Tony doesn't communicate and seems to think people have some kind of ability to look inside a persons body, read their mind and simply know how they're feeling. I'm being a bit hard on him as I think it's a typically 'male' thing but because his father has prostate cancer and I wanted Tony to have a full workover. Anyway, maybe on Monday when/if he goes to see his own doctor.
Greg and Marcus are going down to mums today. Greg plans to take her back up to his place but I'm not sure she fully understands. He'll have to do some stiff talking with her to make her budge but I'm hoping she will. We'll have to make arrangements for all stuff at Megs place to be moved out.
I have to start packing up here too and am dreading the thought but must get into it asap. I don't like doing anything on a Saturday, the Sabbath but I may have to :o(
6am so I better get moving. Hope everyone is well and happy. Do take care,

Hallelua (4get the spelling)!
Praise the Lord, I was really feeling lonely when everyone was out 'living' while I hung out with myself on here. Still lonely anyway, my best mates, 1 near Morisset and the other in Ireland so not able to just pop in or call up for a chat. Relly, in Morisset is nursing and dog grooming plus running the house of 15yr old, 13yr old (caught kissing g/f @ school!) and 6yr old plus 2 dogs so her hands are full and of course as soon as a parent gets on the phone every other living being in the household decides they need that parents attention there and then, ditto for this household. Jen' who is in Ireland is obviously on a different time line and also doing shift work at the latest hospital she's decided to contract at so I rarely get to speak to her. Deb', my newest mate lives 2 streets across but she has 4 kids, dog, rabbit and husband Chris has many budgies, she also runs a regimented house as best she can so I don't get much time other than playgroup to spend with her.
Tony worked Monday and Tuesday and was sounding very upbeat last night with plans of how he intends to "start over" but I don't get my hopes up anymore and as I already knew before it happened (so predictable now) he spent the day in bed today, sick as a dog. I feel guilty for being annoyed but I just want to scream at him to "GO TO THE F***ING HOSPITAL". It's not like he'd have to wait at all because with his blood glucose levels they'd put him straight into icu. Sorry about the swearing but my emotions are a bit touchy right now. Next time his levels are too high for the monitor to measure I'm calling an ambulance. The stress is killing me.
Meg will be down next week, her solicitor had the court hearing moved to Sydney and hopefully will get the matter settled asap. She's jack of all the paperwork that she has to plough through but we're praying it will pay off. I probably wont see her, she wants me to arrange a room in the city for her as she has to be at Peters office at 8am and will train straight home afterwards.
Greg said he will be here this Friday and probably have Marcus with him. They're going down to mum and Greg has told her to pack some gear so she can go back up to his place with him. I hope she does, she called last night and told me that last Saturday night she wanted to call me but didn't want to alarm me and knew I'd call the hospital if she did. She said she had a horrible feeling in her chest, no not pain "just a feeling" and you can't tell mum otherwise but a horrible feeling that if she went to sleep she might not wake up. Mum never has any fears of dying or anything so for her to confess that she really got me concerned. I ripped into her, in my own way that mum doesn't take offense to but insisted she DOES call me if ever she feels that way again. I told her she could talk me out of calling the ambulance/hospital but at least I'd know to call in the morning to check on her as in her own words she didn't wan't "to be lying there for a week and all maggotty" before anyone found her! I called her back the next morning after she called me to confirm she was still kicking. I just want her to get out and up to Gregs. All the gear in the farm shed could be packed into our container and stored somewhere safe.
Thank you Jacob for logging on, I couldn't talk mate with the kids screaming and Tony not able to tend them. Please keep us posted on your progress. Hokey always talks about the planes going to "Marcus and Gaishobs place"!
Thank you also Jess', I saw the pictures of the hail storm in papers Johnno sent down to me. Haven't looked at them all yet but will read them eventually. I have a letter here to post off to Krystal in Dubbo Hospital. Katrina called and told me of her injuries, she's one very lucky girl for sure. Please put some more pics of the family up. Believe it or not I wouldn't mind moving home!
Oh and Bernice, I saw a name but didn't recognise the face in one of the Bourke papers, "Frances Walshe". Forget who she was with and what the occassion was but there you go!
My leg is dead, I have my foot tucked under my knee so the left leg is completely numb on the bottom and only paralysed numb on top!
It's 10:30 and I have to be up at 7 to take Boo Boo to the dog groomers and put her up for adoption because that mongeral Gizmo keeps chewing at her and making a mess of her coat. She doesn't want to live inside with Hokey chasing her around so I'll try to adopt her out to someone quiet.
Aunt Mona, I just wish I could be there with you. I'd love to see the place and a white winter. Well, the right side of me would, the left side would jack up and keep me next to a fire somewhere. My hip gives me some brutal pain sometimes. Meg has told me to have it x-rayed but it's one of those things I have to schedule while Hoke's is at school and Ango' is in Occassional Care. So only on a Thursday between 10 and 1 but there are so many appointments to keep up to I lose track!
Better go, other 'net' things to do and I NEED to go to bed. Take care and love to all, Sydney is so lonely. Sara XXXXX
Tony worked Monday and Tuesday and was sounding very upbeat last night with plans of how he intends to "start over" but I don't get my hopes up anymore and as I already knew before it happened (so predictable now) he spent the day in bed today, sick as a dog. I feel guilty for being annoyed but I just want to scream at him to "GO TO THE F***ING HOSPITAL". It's not like he'd have to wait at all because with his blood glucose levels they'd put him straight into icu. Sorry about the swearing but my emotions are a bit touchy right now. Next time his levels are too high for the monitor to measure I'm calling an ambulance. The stress is killing me.
Meg will be down next week, her solicitor had the court hearing moved to Sydney and hopefully will get the matter settled asap. She's jack of all the paperwork that she has to plough through but we're praying it will pay off. I probably wont see her, she wants me to arrange a room in the city for her as she has to be at Peters office at 8am and will train straight home afterwards.
Greg said he will be here this Friday and probably have Marcus with him. They're going down to mum and Greg has told her to pack some gear so she can go back up to his place with him. I hope she does, she called last night and told me that last Saturday night she wanted to call me but didn't want to alarm me and knew I'd call the hospital if she did. She said she had a horrible feeling in her chest, no not pain "just a feeling" and you can't tell mum otherwise but a horrible feeling that if she went to sleep she might not wake up. Mum never has any fears of dying or anything so for her to confess that she really got me concerned. I ripped into her, in my own way that mum doesn't take offense to but insisted she DOES call me if ever she feels that way again. I told her she could talk me out of calling the ambulance/hospital but at least I'd know to call in the morning to check on her as in her own words she didn't wan't "to be lying there for a week and all maggotty" before anyone found her!

12/11/07- Jess...
Hi,
Sorry its been so long, i've been flat out lately.... thought i'd sit down and have a cuppa and fill you all in on life out here while i'm on my lunch break..
the last 2 weeks we've had some good rain, nothing to really brag about, but anything is good, when your out here. We also had a hail storm which was interesting, not much damage. The river has finally stopped following AGAIN, so now we look forward to the hot dry,restrictive summers we know all too well..
Lissa has just finished her HSC, and waiting results. Kelly still running around growing up fast. Melissa's year12 formal is on the 24th, shall post photos after that. I'm flat out at work, but loving it, still studying vet nursing should be finished by mid next year, then my plans are to move to newcastle, i need to leave home for a while... but bourke will always be home, cant take the country out of the girl.
Mums busy working, dads just got back in to town after a weeks mustering out past louth.
2 weekends ago went to newcastle for the weekend with a mate, had a great time, spent way to much money, but still had a ball.
Started to paint again after a bit of an "artist's block", trying to get up the courage to do an exibition out here, we've got 2 art gallerys now. but i dont think iam good enough.
Happy birthday aunty Meg for the 17th and Lauren too....
not much more to report on.
shall write again soon
take care,
Jess x

Hi From bernice 9/11/07 Friday
Hi all, its been awhile, i'm sitting here waiting for tradesmen to come...Why can't they let you know if they will be within 'even two hours' of their arrival time?? I have other things to do. Ah well it gives me a chance to write on the blog i suppose. We are getting the floor stained and polished and the roller door man has to fix a light on the motor, floor man has been, waiting on roller door man!
I'm feeling a little down, my dog Kellie has gone totally "Blind', poor little thing, it all happened so quickly in a matter of weeks!!!, the Vet said its either in her genes and or she has just lost the muscle ..retinal degeneration of her eyes! because it happened so quickly, she is just not coping at all , she seems so scared and quiet and doesn't move much, I suppose her other senses haven't kicked in as quick as they should because of the suddeness of this. It breaks my heart to see her bumping into things and falling and tripping over, plus the other big mutt gives it to her , he's just a pup so probaly doesn't realize, she is only six years old too! Ken says if her life doesn't improve we will think about putting her down, it will break our hearts, but we can't let her live her life the way she is, poor baby.
It was great to see Kell! she looks wonderful too, a little too thin maybe but she can pick up while on hols here, we had a lovely two days with her here , Meg bought her down and stayed too, we went to Kiama and seen June too who also looks well, unfortunately Ken was at work so missed June but we had seen her a few weeks prior so that was ok. Seen Wendy, Len and Terese and bubs also. Other girls at work.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR THE 6TH IF YOU GET TO READ THE BLOG KELL. hope you had a good one. Card waiting at Stewarts for you. Oh! no luck in the lottery tickets but thanks anyway.
We celebrated halloween and my 55 year old birthday!! man I'm getting old! Marcus (meg's boy) and I decorated the front of the house, Gee it looked great! We had skeletons ,ghosts, spiders, bats , 6 tombstones' in the yard, Pumpkins, etc ...and masses and masses of cobwebs!!! everywhere!!! We all dressed, Meg in a blue wig comstume, me in red devil. Sara and the kids arrived and stayed the night which was just great we had a great time and the kids dressed up and had a ball! I had ten kids and ten adults as guests, and about 50 or more kids turned up for trick or treat!! WE video'd and took heaps of photos and again when i learn how to post them on the blog i will put some on and or in flickr.
My friend and i went out for Melbourne cup day, we were going to the races but our weather turned nasty so we went to a club, had a great day but didn't pick the winner.
Mona it was great to hear from you and i was hoping everyone would keep up the blog while kell was here so you could keep up with her travels and the people and places she visits as i know you would be missing her and feeling a little homesick while she is here so I will try and keep you posted as much as i can, i THINK SHE WOULD BE NEARING GETTING TO GRAFTON ABOUT NOW SO lISA MIGHT LIKE TO KEEP YOU POSTED. ( Oh didn't mean to do caps)You sure do a lot of cooking!! Do you like to Cook? I don't, I just cook to feed Ken! i wish he could cook too. Is your house finished now? Happy Anniversary i think its the 31st oct too isn't it, hope you both had a nice night.
Belinda, Hi hows things, good i hope , just writing to say your girls looked cute dressed up for halloween, Kell would have enjoyed it too. So did you crack the "mooculta" was it as good as it sounds. I buy "Cleanskins" from dan murphy's mostly red, great wine, without the fancy labels so its cheaper, but not a cheap tasteing wine. Not that i'm a big wine drinker ..love it but it doesn't like me "Shame.
Wow how close is it to Christmas!!! it has come around so quick! my Mum and a sister are coming down this year, which will be great.
Well I had better get off here as I do have a letter to write and hopefully the tradesman will be here and gone and i can go out and do a few things. "Where's the Egan's??????? and little butcherbird hasn't been on lately...lucky for her she keeps in touch or she would be in trouble but I'm sure everyone else would like to hear from her, also the Tully girls??? I used to love reading their letters about Bourke and what their up too...Come on girls.
Must go, hope everyone is well and happy bye for now love bernice xx

Winter in Pilot Mound.
Yes, hello me!! Dont even think of stopping, Sarie. I so look forward to hearing from you. My day starts a lot earlier than Bill's, and I come and read any new notes to start my day, while the coffee is brewing. And it is good to hear what the littlies are up to...annoying though it may be for you! I phoned and left a message for Kate about the packages. Will try her again to night.
Where are you, Kell? Happy birthday cake!!We will have a drop of the doings tonight on your behalf. No, I'll have two, just in case you cant get any where you are.
I just put 4 lamb shanks in the oven. Didn't have a recipe, went on the net....little they know! so ended up 'developing' my own. Smells good. Got word about 30 mins. ago not to use the water. I do have a fountain for drinking, but need a new bottle, and me with taters or rice to cook and no water. May do rice in juice for a change.
Had a bad tooth on Sunday. Noticed it on our way to a play in Holland (30 min. drive away) and it got progressively worse. Mon. morn phone to my dentist....it was a tooth I cracked when I had that fall at Grafton and he put a band around it....'Come see me'......result, I am now half way through having a root canal done. Go back on 29th to have him finish it. I must say I dont feel so chipper to day. Tried to eat a carrot, raw. NOT a good plan! Hope the shanks are easier on the mouth! Lyn, where did the time go? I remember the first time you brought Hannah to see me. Yesterday I think it was. And now they are all grown up and beautiful. You could never deny Hannah! She is the image of you at that age!
We had our sale yesterday. No, Sunday. Made $4oo-oo...on my puddings and Marmalade. This is our last one. I am the only one able to do the work now, and I was played out this year. 46 qts and 32 pts. pudding and 53 1/2 pts. marmalade. The old back says NO MORE! and Bill is echoing it. Haven't even been walking for a week, too sore! Did walk up town to day, just to get some air. Bill is working out of town to day. No news. We are busy getting ready for the Armistice Dinner and Dance on Sat. night. I make a dessert and cook a ham. We go for the dinner , I usually have to ask the blessing, then we go home. Bill is in the Colour Party for the service on Sunday, I get to read a lesson and do prayers. After the service we go up to the cemetery and put poppies on all the family graves...I leave one for dad on Bill's dad's grave...then we will drive down to La Riviere and put poppies on some Uncles graves.
It has cooled off these last few days. Was -10 this am....but -22 up in Churchill!! We are desperately in need of rain. I am afraid all my plants will winter kill and I will have to replace them in spring. Kelly can come and do the digging, she LIKES it!
OK. I'm rambling. Get busy you youngens and let us hear your news. Love to all. Mona

Hello Me
Hello Me, nice to see I've taken a moment out of my bedtime to talk to myself (as if out aloud isn't bad enough)!
Well, I woke this morning, quite peacefully to an empty bed. I recalled Hokey coming in through the night and Tony getting up to insist he, Hokey, go do a wee before getting into our bed. After much protest he went but I didn't stay awake long enough to see them back into the bed, barely long enough to even contemplate why Tony had taken the initiative to do the toilet duty. It was 7'ish I think when I woke so I slowly allowed myself to come alive before getting up to investigate why it was so quiet. I looked into the kids room on my way to put the billy on and saw the reason for such calm. Tony was sound asleep in bed with Hokey, also sound asleep. I could smell madam and my movement disturbed Tony and he waved his hand across his nose and passed a whooaaa comment. I told him I'd take care of her so he promptly went back to sleep. I made my cuppa, knowing I wouldn't get to enjoy it in peace but made it anyway. I put the cuppa on the dressing table then went to pluck my stinky baby from her cot. That cheeky little grin and giggle just melts me. Seeing I had her half undressed I decided to put her clothes on and picked a pretty little pink trackie out for her. Foolishly I dressed her before feeding her and her pretty pink trackie ended up covered in vegemite! By tat time Hocus Pocus was well awake and was also eating his breakie, a toasted butter sandwhich with tomato sauce. I know, it sounds yuk but that's the "flavour of the month" as far as food goes. I dressed him also. By now I was onto my second reheated cuppa and had made one for Tony also so he had to wake up then! I'd made a comment that we may go out to get Hokey's hair cut which he protested loudly against. I gave in and used a bribe saying "I'll buy you a car if you sit up nicely and don't whinge and let the man cut your hair". Later, after Tony had gone to work, I decided to follow through with the haircut so we went across to Roselands shopping centre and waited at the hairdressers. There was one older gentleman before us as well as the two who were being trimmed when we arrived. I just read the paper and he looked at a 'car' book. A older fellow walked in after us so when we were up next I told him to go ahead, Hokey took it all in without too much fuss. Then it was our turn so I told him to go get his hair cut and to my amazement he climbed up on the chair and let the young fellow wrap the cape around him and didn't fuss at all until he tried to wipe some hair from his nose but ended up with more on there. He got a little stirred up but the young bloke talked him quiet and he settled again. Theeeennnn the hairdresser said he was going to "tickle" him a little bit and started with the clippers. Hokey just about lept out of the seat and hollered "NO Don't tickle me" and pushed the clippers away. Again to my amazement the young hairdresser talked him through it and he sat calmly while he finished up. He wa rewarded with not one but two lollipops for being so good and Hokey said something to me while I was paying. The young bloke was trying to find him an orange coloured lollipop and it sounded like Hokey said "colour". I asked him "what colour"? and he said "CAR. You said you'd get a CAR". Well, I did at that so before leaving we pulled into Woollies and he picked out a car and was quite chuffed how people commented on how good he looked with his hair cut.
Johnno phoned earlier and is hooking up with Aunty Kell tomorrow. He is feeling well but won't be by weeks end :o(
It's now 9:21pm and I've had enough of this computer. I've listed the black car on ebay and now just want to go to bed so I'll sign off the digital diary and hit the sack.
G'night, XXX (kisses are for anyone else who may be reading, not for myself)!

He got a little stirred up but the young bloke talked him quiet and he settled again. Theeeennnn the hairdresser said he was going to "tickle" him a little bit and started with the clippers. Hokey just about lept out of the seat and hollered "NO Don't tickle me" and pushed the clippers away. Again to my amazement the young hairdresser talked him through it and he sat calmly while he finished up. He wa rewarded with not one but two lollipops for being so good and Hokey said something to me while I was paying. The young bloke was trying to find him an orange coloured lollipop and it sounded like Hokey said "colour". I asked him "what colour"? and he said "CAR. You said you'd get a CAR". Well, I did at that so before leaving we pulled into Woollies and he picked out a car and was quite chuffed how people commented on how good he looked with his hair cut.
Johnno phoned earlier and is hooking up with Aunty Kell tomorrow. He is feeling well but won't be by weeks end :o(
It's now 9:21pm and I've had enough of this computer. I've listed the black car on ebay and now just want to go to bed so I'll sign off the digital diary and hit the sack.
G'night, XXX (kisses are for anyone else who may be reading, not for myself)!

Hello
Tony is out back tidying up the black car so I can take some pictures to put on ebay. He's done a great job but Hocus Pocus is out there driving him mental at the moment "Are you ok Daddy" "Daddydaddy daddy daddy daddy", "Are you washing the car daddy"? He's exhausting to listen to, fair dinkum. Ango was asleep but Hokey put an end to that.
Aunt' Mo', if you're talking to Kate would you please let her know a parcel will be arriving at her place this week for me under my married name. Aunty Kell said she'll sort it out when she gets home. It's a "balance board", 2 different types so probably 2 packages but the associated companies with Amazon won't ship internationally because of warranty issues. They wont even ship to Canada so I phoned Aunty Kell and she said to send to Kates place and she'll be there soon to pickup Uncle Peter and she will sort out I think (hope :o!) .
Baby is crying so I must go. Lyn, the girls looked great, especially Hannah (in the frilly dress?). Well done,
Love Sara...
