Yellow (hello)...

Yes, I've used the "ong ails" excuse before Jane bu now I think its either a bug in my system or I've just banged too hard on my keyboard (or some straying child has)... it's driving me mental as I hate spelling errors even thoughI know my spelling has slacked off alot these days.

Hokey is singing away in te kitchen annoying the heck out of Tony. His latest tune is "Mr Boombastic" by Shaggy (black dude). He goes on and on and oooonnn!

I got Marc's dog Mia clipped today. I told him I was going to get it done and he freaked when he saw her but the poor little mutt desperately needed to be clipped. At least the dog feels clean and fresh.

I am getting on top of Tony's diabetes. We went to see the doc' last week and she rippe into him and told him "You HAVE to let her take care of you". It was what he needed so I've been on to him all week and making sure he does the right thing and would you believe it, he's feeling quite good! He is cooking dinner at the moment and is cooking onion. Doesn't matter how far away I am in the house, the fumes still get in my eyes. God bless him he's been out the back all day 'sorting' the shed, again! Brought mooore 'stuff' inside. He's doing pretty good so I'm happy about that.

Kids are well and wild as usual. They have been waking at a sparrows fart lately and it really knocks me up. It's a real test of wills to see who will get up to them first.


I have lots to talk about ut my concentration is ot on the ball and these errors with the keyboard or bug are annoying me too so I'll go now.

Ciao and love to all,

Sara xxxxx

Murwillumbah again

Just read my post and saw all of the typo's Please forgive me and I am an English teacher at that. My nails are long so that is the reason for the typo's love jane

Greetings from Murwillumbah again!

Hi every one,
I told you I was back on air !!!!!!!!!!!!!
We had a big day shopping today,Oh God it was wonderful i think i was born to shop. Anthea had her big shop up before she heads back north on wednesday. Asha has been back and forward she is on a weeks break from uni. Brydie has just arrived home from the Q.L.D state under 18 hockey championship in which the South
East Q.L.D team (her team) came 3rd which was very exciting for her. Seb has been studying hard, Patrick has been working hard (so we can spend it !!!!)
No I am not going out to Bourke even though Bourke is calling me. However, Sebastian needs me at home (so does Patrick) and so do Ken and Bernice they will be up on the GCoast for a wedding this weekend i am picking them up at the air port can't wait to see the. i gwet so excited to see them Christmas is going to be a blast. Marjy is already working out the colour scheme for the christmas table.
They are getting ready for their big trip oiut to Bourke Stevo can't work out why they have to stay over night somewhere he says " you know we always use to do the trip in one day and it wasn't sealed all the way either." We try to tell him that he is 83 now and it is not as easy .
So I am green with envy but I have to get out there as I said before it is calling me.
Bed is calling me now so I'll hop off probably get on tomorrow love to every one hope you are well Auntie Kell, as I was a little alarmed to read you had not been well.
Love to every one Jane xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey Janie Babes

Good to hear from you. Are you coming to Bourke next weekend? PLEASE!
Meg where are you when are we heading north. I am going to have Christmas with Kate and family so need to go soon so i can get myself organized to go. This weekends job is to write a travel grant in the hopes i will get some money to attend a conference in North Carolina in January. I hate writing this stuff its all art speak and excuse me but very wanky! But if they give me the money I will be grateful.
Hope all is well with family. Belinda xxxxx

Greetings from Murwillumbah

Hello Every one, do you remember me?????????? No I haven't disappeared off the face of the earth. School holidays and I have time to indulge. I have missed being on the blog. I hate to say but I have been sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo busy because every one is so busy. BUT believe me and my family will tell you life has been hectic. Particularly work wise I have had a lot of responsibility this term. We are finally on holidays and these holidays we will all settle into study mode Sebastian has finally finished school however he only has his final Higher School Certificate which starts in exactly 3 weeks yesterday. All you prayer's get praying for him.
We have had some milestone events since i have last been on. Asha turned 21 on the 28th of August she didn't want the whole party all she wanted was to go to Melbourne with Patrick and I shopping eating, (a little drinking) and to see a show. We had a ball. Sebastian turned 18 on the 8th of September so my babies are becoming adults.
Mum and dad and all of my children were home on thursday as it was Sebastian's graduation mass. It was a wonderful day and we all had celebrations. The next day in class I was being quite terse and i said to the students "now I don't want any nonsense we are all tired and it is the end of term blah blah blah" one of the students very quietly up the front says "a big night miss" ( I ignored him but had a little chuckle, cheeky blighter).
I will sign off as I have still so much reading of the blog to do I started reading and thought I would be here until midnight so I will sign in Love and kisses to every one have missed every one I am back on air, Love Jane xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Peters' Family

Just a quick note to let Peter, Jessie, Lissa & Kelly know that we  ( Mo & I ) are thinking of them

all today. Mo & Bill arrived yesterday. They have a multitude of chores to do today, while I work for Lions Club from 3pm to 8 pm.  Visiting day tomorrow, meet Steve & Fam. on Sunday, down to Kates' on Monday. Home Tuesday, get ready for a Lions dinner  that I am convening on Wed. They leave on Wed. 

after that, "Walk in the dark" on 3rd., cancer gala on 16th. (I'm decorating an "Aussie" table for the Gala.) Then, I AM A FREE WOMAN for awhile!! (At least, that is how it looks now!) After that, we both should have time to happily "blog"!! Talk soon. MO & Kell

Lisa's Leisure time.....

Greetings one and all,
Last night before holidays, so, I am excited! Off to Sydney tomorrow afternoon, seeing Steven Burkoff tomorrow night at the York Theatre (Seymour Centre). We are staying in the city for the weekend, taking in shopping, dining, leisure and visiting the Opera House Bar. The best (but expensive) drinks in the city. You sit with the Opera House beside you, overlooking the harbour and the Bridge, awesome. Will probably visit it on Saturday afternoon sometime. Will stay the weekend . We then go and visit Ronny's dad for a few days. Should be great. Zappa will stay with friends out of town while we are away. We are preparing ourselves for the separation!!!!!!!!!!!!!Oo Oh, Ronny has not been at work for three days due to illness, and now I have all the symptoms, but hey, I am not going to be sick on my holidays!!!!!!!!
Ronny and I had our picture in the local paper on Monday. When the copy (photo) I ordered arrives, will post in on the blog. We were at the hockey Grand Final day. I had played earlier - and WON !! It was a great feeling to win after a long, great season. We had a good celebration on Saturday night!
Mum and Dad have gone to a Lodge Function tonight. Mum was so pleased - Dad is finally giving up the Secretary's job ( after many years stuck with it). She is still loving her new kitchen.
All well with the family, hope it is at your end.
Love Lisa

How weird

Hi Just quickly...Lisa and Belinda how cool we all must have been on the blog at the same time cheers...bernice xx

Grafton back in the Groove..

Greetings All,
I know - long time, no hear! Got back to Grafton last Saturday night after being away for nearly three weeks. Hit the ground running on my return and have not stopped. Desperately needing time with Ronny and Zappa, work was chaotic and I had a big theatre show on Thursday night. Made it through ok, and then played in my hockey final yesterday. Still loving being home with Ronny, trying to keep abreast of work, show went really well and we won our hockey final -Grand Final next saturday. To top it all off - holidays in two weeks, fantatic! Just have to make it through until then.
Much to tell, but will hold off until next time. Had a great visit with Belinda in Canberra, stayed the night with lots of laughs with Kenny and Berncie (always fun) but missed Sara twice. Never mind, next time.
Beer o'clock on the back deck now, so must rush.
Will try to be back on again soon.
Family here doing up our way - Mum's new kitchen is in and she is very pleased. Sebastian turned 18 last week, Jane still trying to cope with him going off to the pub!
love to all,
Lisa

Hayfever time!

From a recent trip to Sydney

Taken on a walk with the dogs at the end of our street, beautiful if you don't get hayfever from them!

Bernice bragging 14/9/08

Hi all I am going to try and put " My wishing well" i painted and decorated on here before i go any further..here goes..Done it! i can't seem to write along side it tho...oh well.

Kell..sorry i was still in sleep mode this a.m was nice tto hear from you anyway, meant to say your photo's on the blog were good..you look well too . and yes i'm sure we did all feel proud with our olympians..specially our swimmers. but i think they As in all countries and specially more the media should show more of the Para-olympics!!!! My heart and pride just goes out to them they are just so amazing!!! I feel so small when i see them, don't you think?

On a brighter note, We had lisa here for a night a week ago was lovely to see her and catch up, time went to quick tho.

Belinda...whats happening with the "blog books? where are you working now? I get confused with your Jobs what do you do? apart from casual Pharmacy. Glad the girls are fine and enjoed Phuket. we can't make it to Jess's 21st as we had pre booked a flights to the Gold Coast for a freind's wedding ..whom the wishing well is for on that same weekend...otherwise we would have went , glad you are going

If I don't get a chance before the date ..Jess hope you have a wonderful night!! and happy birthday to you! Hi to all the family.

Bob and Trish have left Bourke and are up around Whitton Qld heading for Burketown,going good, Shame they are not there for jess's 21st too tho. I was talking to Nathile the other day she's great but doesn't think she will make it up to bourke on account of work short staffing and such she said. She is planning a 60th for Russ later on in the year also.

Iwas also talking to Stewart on his birthday ,he had a lovely time in Adelaide and on his birthday too.

Well this is only short as i just thought i would show you my very first "wishing well' I am proud of it, Ken is sending it up on a truck for me tomorrow.

I am going pretty good at the "Gym' a little sore as I am using muscles that I never knew i had and the Bod doesn't like it ! but it will learn to I'm sure...I am liking it and feeling better specially my "back is better as they teach you stretches and strength exercises.. Oh well I had better get off here and do something constructive.. Hope you are all well and happy. Bye for now love bernice xx

Just for Mo and Kell

More of Mona's Musings.

Good morning all. Just a quick note to let you know that I am still around. We are going out for supper as soon as Bill gets out of the tub, and I want to try to phone June and Cec before I go.
Feeling weary, had a funeral to do this afternoon, and while it was not a sad one, it is emotionally draining and I will be glad to hit the hay tonight.
We are into autumn work. Still a lot of harvesting to do...we had so much rain....and the hum of combines can be heard most of the day. I want to go out to a friends field of wheat and cut a few small sheaves for the church decorations for Harvest Thanksgiving on 21st. Will do that on the way home after supper. We sat out on the deck and had a cold one when Bill came in from work...wasps everywhere and apples falling off the tree. Another job for the week end. Char's Josh loves apple sauce, so I dont let the apples waste. Made 8 qts. Christmas pudding yesterday (only 24 more to go, along with 32 pints.) and need a cup of grated apple in each batch, so that will take care of some of the wind falls. This is definately my last year doing puddings, though they are a great money maker for the church, but I found yesterday I couldn't lift the canner off the stove and had to just turn the heat off and let the pressure go down then unload it. So enough is enough. Bill is still working at the Complex, but I note in the agenda for the next meeting plans for the GRAND OPENING!!! It wont be finished, far from it, but we have to have a rink for our hockey team...won the championship last season didn't we ????? So the rink will open along, I think with the kitchen, the rest will be on hold.
Haven't talked to Kell for a day or two. She has her friend from Masonic days there, so I wont call till she has gone. We hope to leave here on 24th and visit for about a week. I have to start putting stuff aside to take. (Bill and Peter get mad because we are always taking stuff back and forth....too bad. Great energy waster, anger !) Best go. Hope all are well. Love to all. Moe.

Canberra Calling, it's Spring!

Hi all
Well not much to report, same old same old. I have been working full time and doing a little weaving so between walking the dogs and working I am home most of the time . Soo oo boring Huh?
Hannah is home from Thailand and had a fabulous time, I will get her to post a few photos later.
Lauren went of to work this morning at 5am and is not the quietest of morning people. But she is still enjoying her job but not so much the shift work.

The weather is warming up a bit so its nice to go walking and we can even leave the doors open for a little fresh air in the afternoons, Lisa come back it's not so cold now.

We its is Saturday and I don't usually work on Saturdays but I am filling in at the Chemist so must go and get ready.

Meg give me a call are we going to Brissie or not?

I am looking forward to the Long weekend I am going to Bourke but not sure about the girls.

Love to all Lin

Belmore banter

What abeautiful post Aunty Kell, not "prattling" at all, it's all news and great photo's too. All the hildren are beautiful. I have turned the computer on a number of times over the past however long it's been since I logged on but have not had the chance to actually sit down at it so it just gets logged off of an evening. Speaking of 'evenings', its 8:11pm and Master Giancarlo is stil up so I'd best leave my seat and send him to bed. It's Friday night, a few more minutes won't hurt...

Aunty Kell, Tony has put the rame and walls up of the shed extention but is yet to put a roof on it. It seem we won't be building Marc his 'granny' flat because he doesn't want to pay for it. He wantsus to pay for al materials and Tony to build it and whilest you're trying to fathom that I'll just say "it aint easy bein' green" - Kermit the Frog... Actually it's, well, quite undescribable. Mum's here at the moment and has been since last Wedneday and bless her soul she is such a God send. She will not rest, no matter how cross I get with her. She has ALL my washing caught up to date and for that alone I am truely greatful. My cleaning lady wa lost for things to do today, she changed our beds (not Marcs of course), vacuumed, mopped then hung a load of washing mum had just finished then finished up. We were at the solicitors sorting out the Will, Deeds etc. Peter (solicitor) is coming around on Sunday to explain everything to Marc, it's a legality and Marc would not be able to handle going to the city to sort it out. Lucky Tony's a good friend of hs family that he will do that for us. It's a loooonngg road and we'll be travelling it for the rest of our days...

We are going out for Jesse's birthday. Bernice says there are a lot of family going so it will be a great weekend. Yes Aunty, the weatherhad a complete change on the first day of Sring. All of a sudden the days were in the 20's Just as well I guess, we've run out of gidgee andTony's resorted to the furniture again!

Kids are well. Mum says Hokey has a dreadful cough of a night but I'm dead to the world and don't hear a thing. Since birth he's been a 'snotty' child and I'd like his adenoids out but my doc' reckons he's too old for it now. I think I'll go to another doctor for the kids because h definately needs something done. His cough is 'slimey throat' like when you get a cold. Aweful feeling. He's in bed now, tried to talk his way out of it but I put the foot down, my good one!

I receivd a post card from Mark also, Italy sounds gorgeous. I think there might have been a twang of envy from Tony and I feel it too. Mark is so forunate to be living over there so close to all of Europe. His work takes him worldwide and he saves o take his family to beauiful historic places and enjoy life. Good on him I reckon.

If my typing is misspelt or missig letters it's because there seems to be something wong with my keyboard (likely excuse)...

There is plenty to tell but it's mostly whinging so I won't go there. We did a council cleanup soTony (singular!) put a heap of rubbish out the front and the back looks a lot better now. How that man gets up on his feet every day has me beat. He finished a conversionon Tuesday which took 5 days when it should have only taken 2. He was furious when he realised the problem, something very simple because his mind has been too full of all the other stuff ging on around here. He cancelled all othr bookings and won't take anymore probably until after we cme back from Bourke.

I do hope Aunt Mona is handling the lott ok. It must be very hard for her as she is so involved with so much that is going on in her community. You both are Aunty Kell, it beats me how you both do it...

Ok, I'm all out. Hope all are well and happy. Do take care,
Love Sara xxxx

jess's birthday and party dates for kel

jess turns 21 on the 19th of oct, her party is on the 4th of october

Steves' youngens last May.

I  have 2 dates for Jessies' b'day, Oct. 16 & Nov. 19.

Which is correct?, & what day is the party? 

Someone, anyone, let us know so we can parachute 

in & eavesdrop!! Talk soon. Love Kell.

Dear family,

It has been awhile since I checked in, so thought I'd best get busy, otherwise I can't complain that no one else is blogging. Steve came down so Peter wouldn't be alone when I was in hosp. Not a good

picture of him, so will try & send a better one later.

Sara, how is the building coming along?? I do hope it has been started, & you can begin living your life again. Don't know how you put up with a permanent guest in the house.

My friend Margaret Harris arrives on Sat., so I'm getting a bit excited! 

She is "doing" Alaska at the moment, then a few days on Van. Island, then flies out here. I just

pray that winter will stay at bay till she leaves, as I want decent weather to show her around.

We will spend Sat. night in Calgary to meet Charlotte & fam., & Steve & fam. Then we will go to the Dinosaur museum in Drumheller, (about 1 1/2 hour drive east of Calgary.) Home via the Brooks Badlands, then we will check out all our local attractions, & go to Kates. We only have 

a week, & lots to see, so no time for wasting. I have planned a dinner for the 12th, to meet our motley crew of friends. I have invited 18, so we will have to use the entertainment room here, as my wee house won't accommodate that many at the table.

Bernice, I did notice your tremendous talent, when you "fixed" the photo, & put Liz in it. I thought you were terribly clever. Also, the beautiful stamps on the DVD were noticed first! 

(And saved.) Australia has the best of all the stamps. The U.S. has the worst. Canada isn't bad, but puts out a lot of dull ones. Cec saves her stamps for me, & has her friends save theirs too.

I missed all the August celebrations, sorry. Rowans' birthday, Marj & Steves' anniversary. Lauren Anstey,Trish Payton, (I did get to ring Trish & Bob.) Asha, Rodney , Oskar, & Patrick & Janes' anniversary. Belated "Happies" to you all. August wasn't a good month.

I have to reiterate what everyone else has said about Oskar. What a gorgeous little man he is, 

& ALMOST shared his dads' birthday. Too bad for Cec & Ray, to live so far away. 

No one has mentioned the Olympics, & how Oz. did?? Needless to say, our papers don't give other countries coverage, & the Aust. web sites were not exactly full of news. The scandals took 

up most of their air time. I'm hoping that ABC has a DVD or some such. Lyn is going to check it out for us. We didn't get a lot of sleep time, because of the time difference. Even then, just events with Canadians were broadcast. The opening & closing ceremonies were very extravagant, but far too long for me. I felt it a bit too, too!!

Families are all well. Steve is a bit "lost", as Grayson has started "big school", & Steve isn't quite ready for that! They just returned from a 10 day holiday in B.C., the day before school went back. Charlotte & crew also in B.C. for 2 weeks, home a few days earlier. Kate & family had a boat trip in June, the boys had a trip to Boston. Otherwise, their time was spent kayaking & hiking. Kate & Doug are avid hikers, & have done nine mountains this year. Makes me tremble just to look at the trails they have taken. They also do a lot of family hiking. You want firm legs?? Go mountain hiking regularly. Drew & Dan still golfing, Dan with the State team. Both quite good. Hockey will soon start, so they will be happy campers with that.

I am wondering how the 21st celebration is shaping up? Who is going? Where will it be held?

I trust Jess has everything under control. With a bit of luck it will be warming up now, so no one will have to freeze if a B.B.Q is planned. (What better way to celebrate a 21st??)

We were glad to hear that Tom is feeling better, ('phone calls to Sara.), as we are all too old to have to put up with the complications of pneumonnia. She sounded good on the 'phone last week. I havn't talked to Mrs. Junie for awhile, so must do that soon.

No news, & I'm prattling  as usual. Mo probably wont be on the blog for a wee while. One of her "constant" patients, & past friends of ours, (when we lived in Crystal City,) died yesterday. Mo has been the family back bone for a few years. The four boys all live quite far away, & the husband is over 90. She may even be asked to do the funeral, although they are not Church of England, but  Uniting Church. Verna has been dying for a long time, but when the time comes, it is hard, & the family rely so heavily on Mo. She has always been there for them & will be now.

We do look forward to your postings, so please busy yourselves, & stop being selfish with your time!! Love to all. Kell

bernice breezing in 2/9/08

Hi all how are you all now, all Ok i hope. Hey has the page on the sign in blog page changed? or am I imagining it?
Kell, do hope you are better now and taking it a bit easy on yourself, did you get my get well e card?

I was amazed what people Buy' I could have made a fortune just on my Plant cuttings, as it was I made $200.00 sold all my old books and pre-loved stuff that now I don't want, It was fun and funny!
I have joined "a Gym' big deal for me, I only joined as I heard the Tafe Gyms are cheap fees...and so they are! $70.00 for 4 and half months, great and they have student teachers, who are your personal trainer "daily" its great, they are so nice and very keen and pushy which is what I need I'm loving it at the moment and so do need to get fit,lose weight, and tone -up. Look out "hear me roar" Ha.
I have and still am in the process of painting and decorating a "Wishing well" for my friends wedding, its timber,(a friend of mine built it for me ) so today I finally finished painting it and now for the beading and bows and such, I'll take a photo when its finished!

Meg how is the new car going? they are a nice little car a friend has one, so glad you are getting work, I used to live in Toronto. its nice. Hows the Marcus, still at the bakers, say hi and also to greg. Glad Tom is better now also say hi for us. Hows June now?

Oh Meg , i was talking to Stewart the other night and he is off to Adelaide for his birthday and I don't know if you and belinda were going up for a surprise visit or not, but check first if so as he is going for 8 days i think.
Lisa is coming to stay with us on friday night, we are so looking forward to it, I have to call in all my chef's and cook up a storm.

Very Quickly from canberra

Hi All

Well I have just had a dinner guess, LISA Hunt ( Payton) It was so nice to catch up, Lisa is in Canberra marking so we had a nice curry a bottle of wine and lots of talking.
How dumb? I forgot to talk a photo for the blog.
We are all busy just like every one else, Hannah is in Puhkett and loving it. The unrest has not stopped them she just call and they have done the elephant, tiger, monkey thing and lots of shopping.

Lauren is well and busy at work

Love to every one Belinda

A bit early to be trying to drive this Im afraid. Greg went off on the Harley to Condobolin for a mates 40th on the weekend. He isnt back yet so I don't know how the bush bash went. Marcus went to Newcastle on Friday after school with mate and stayed in the "penis" appartments on Friday night with his mate and his family. They watched some concert on the waterfront had tea walked out to the light house etc. Saturday night they went to the footy and watched the Knights win. Did the skatepark thing as well. Sounds as though he had a great time. Mums getting over her bout of pneumonia. Has her car back and spit polished clean so should be happy about that. I resigned from my community job and have a week left with them. Ive been working at Toronto Private Hospital as a casual and doing 5 shifts/week just about. I stay over at Aunty Dots, Dads sister when I get a run of shifts together. Its a good job, not where I want to be but it brings in the money. Nice sunny day here today and I might just go and shout myself lunch after I see the couple of clients that I have this morning. Garry is still flat out at the butchers working jsut about 7 days a week, he has had it and the shop is up for sale, he has had a couple of interested lookers but nothing too promising. Economy being in the state that it is I dont think that it will sell in a hurry. One can only hope. take care Meg
