Ok - Where is everyone - have you all left the Thread in 2013

We have been threatened with the white stuff this weekend - not looking forward to it or getting colder

We are also moving office this weekend - so all our life is now packed up in a crate - so when we want something we haven't used for a while we have to dig around in the packing boxes - because its always the way - someone will ask for something when its no longer visable.

Looking forward to a view from our new office & high floor - at the moment we are at the back of the existing building on the ground floor with a high wall outside our window. We see the odd bird & cat & bit of greenery (so saying I am being looked at by a blackbird now) it will be strange after all these years in the same building - I think i have sat on every floor at one point in time & loads of different locations on the floors too, Front, back, either side & in the middle too. I have been in this off for 13 years now

Will let you know Monday what the view is like if we can get to it as they have built it on the corner of a very steep hill - not on a bus route either - so could be fun in slippery weather.

I use to walk up & down the same hill to school every day - so its like going back in time

Well must go - back to work -

Take care all ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) <3 <3 <3 <3

Hi Everyone

Did not realise I have been missing from here for so long.

Hot Hot Hot that is all we are getting at the moment along with the rest of OZ, fires are everywhere in all states here.

Today we had 39c and very humid but tomorrow we have a break with 27c for us and 31c for Perth.

My poor Dad his air com went out Christmas Eve so he has really struggled over this Chrissy and New year,it is being fixed tomorrow apparently the motor burnt out but he is lucky as it is still under warranty.

It is 7pm here now and it is still 30c so I am going for a very rare swim in my pool.

Catch you all a bit later tonight.

Hello Friends,

A very Happy New Year to you all!

Oh Sylvia, hope you are feeling better now.

Little ones are all different aren't they - you do wonder what goes through their minds though at times like that - "Will I ever see Mummay again" kind of thought. And they do have amazing voices or is it lungs for such tiny tots?

Pleased to say that I am at last well on the mend now - still doing the exercises for the spine but the knees are complaining now!

No date for completion yet - have just sent a letter asking when?

Still going through the cupboards - found wedding greetings cards and S's first birthday cards this morning - he will be 52 this year! I just can't throw them away!!

Sally, send me some sun - it refuses to shine here and out in Oz it is trying to cook everything and everybody.

Hope you are all starting the New Year with a jaunty step.

Love,

Reece <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hello all

guess what the sun is shineing :-0

thankyou sue for the explanation i will try and follow it i think that you have explaned it well

Hi all
xxx


still suffering, in silence ;-)

OH went and did the weekly grocery shop ......... and brought me a soy latte home :-D



Daughter requested that we take a small Christmas pud over to hers, so OH made 3 puds in November, and we packed the smallest in one of the cases.

It was just the right size. 6 people plus a tiddler for Christmas dinner, but only OH, J and myself had any ............... the others all turned up their noses at it. We got pud for dessert on Boxing Day, and that was it, all eaten.

It was delicious ............. even though OH did not bother to make any brandy or rum sauce.



We had "fun" one day while over there. J asked if we wanted to go the mall on the Saturday, she needed to do some shopping, and "maybe I could leave MJ with you while I do it??"

We went, and she did. He was quite happy for a few minutes, until he decided to lick a mirror in the men's department. I stopped him, and he immediately started crying and shouting "Mummay! Mummay".

Funny thing was, he never once let go of my hand, and pressed up close to me.

All the assistants kept looking at us, and other shoppers gave us sympathetic looks. It went on for almost 20 minutes, and we then decided that she'd had long enough, and took him up to the next floor to find Mummy. J had to sit on the floor and hug him for several minutes.

At least he didn't fight us .............. and so no-one reported us!!

Not even taking him out into the mall to look at Santa's place helped!




take care

ooooer....realised I haven't popped in here for a few days.... :-(


To be honest, the week between Christmas and New Year is best ignored by me. My daughter finds it all very difficult to handle as she has a birthday in that week. It's just all toooooooo much for her and so, I have that to deal with.


Christmas was okay - lunch at son's was lovely.

Ignore the week until New Year's Eve.


We went to bed at our usual time and I didn't even hear the clocks strike 12 :-D


Things are looking up now that the festivities are over and done with. Normal service will be resumed. :-D :-D :-D


There do seem to have been a lot of errors for people on here over the week but I guess I am fortunate in that I only encountered it a couple of times.


I am fine with the tree now - it just takes some getting used to and have been doing some research to take my mind off things going on around me ;-) ;-)


Hope Sylvia feels better soon and love to all........Cx <3 <3

Hi Sue and everyone


I wish you all a Happy, Prosperous, and Healthy New Year.


We got home from our trip yesterday (Wednesday), and are still trying to sort everything out .............. plus, I have come down with a rotten cold and cough. I feel terrible!


We had a good time overall, although there were some very uncomfortable periods while with my daughter, caused by the son-i-l. We almost moved to a hotel at one point.


Talk about a small world ........................ everyone chats on the trains, one of the very nice things about train travel.

OH chatted to an Australian, found out he was an academic, and then that they knew about 9 people through their research! Contact will be maintained.

Later, we chatted to a couple from BC, charming pair ........... turned out the woman was a family doctor, had trained at the Family Practice clinic we go to, and is still connected with them. She was interested in hearing of the writing workshops that OH does, ad in the ethics he does ................ contact will be maintained!



Contact will be maintained with you lovely people :-D :-D :-D



take care everyone

Hi, where is everyone :-(

Well it's only 36 hours and it will be 2013,
All the Sunshine we had at Christmas has gone and we now having a week of overcast skies, showers and gale force winds. the temp has dropped back to around 22C but with high humidity it is very muggy.

Wishing you all a peaceful and Happy New Year ;-)

Catch you all in 2013 :-) :-) :-) <3 <3 <3

Hi everyone,
Have seen on the news the flooding in the UK and Snow Blizzards in the US, am glad I live in NZ even if it is a little on the Hot side at the moment.

Today is overcast and at the moment around 19C a lot more comfortable but very high humidity.

Am in a better mood this morning after being able to finally access my Tree,

Kept getting an error message all day yesterday. I can't believe Genes still can not get it right,last Christmas I couldn't add to my tree, this Christmas couldn't even open it :-| :-|

Managed to spend 50 free credits FMP sent me to use on their site as this is 'Start your Family Tree Week'.
Wasted over half of them as My great grand Uncle Benjamin Wright, very conveniently disappeared with his Wife and Daughter after I found them in the 1851 Census.
Finally had a breakthrough this morning and discovered the Family emigrated to Australia between 1851-1861.

Back to my Research,
Catch you all later, Josie :-) :-) :-) <3 <3 <3

Happy birthday Robert - Hope all is well & your Shell is waterproofed

Its raining hard AGAIN today - i think we will all have webbed feet in the new year.

Can you send some of the excess warm & sunshine over here please

Lovely to hear you all had a good time at Christmas

HI Everyone

It has been very hot here this year 36c on the 25th and it has gotten hotter as the week goes on .
Today it is 37 here but Perth is having 41 today now that is hot .

We have lived on cold meat and salads over the Christmas period and tonight they are saying thunder storms are expected YUK!

It sound like you all had a great Christmas now we just have to get through the New year then it starts all over again.

We are looking after the Grt Grandaughter today and we have taken her into the pool for a dip ..she loves it ,we got her a little ring to sit in ,she is much cooler now but we have to keep a watch on the Hot Sun so as not to let her get burnt.

We have more visitors on there way for a swim no doubt...at least the pool gets used at this time of the year.

Drop in later tonght

Suex <3 <3 <3

Happy holidays Robert ...I do hope you and your wife are well <3

I forgot......... :-(


I meant to wish Ven. Robert a very happy birthday on Christmas Day. It's been so long since we've heard from him but I didn't want him to feel forgotten.

If you're looking in Robert, I hope you had a lovely day......... <3



Christmas sounded a bit hot Josie...... :-D It was mild here with no snow thank goodness!


All went well - my son cooked for 17 and the meal was lovely. We came home at tea time and had a quiet evening....... :-D


The boards have been very quiet so I've been doing some more tree research etc.

Hope everyone else had a good day ...... however they spent it...

Love to all....Cx <3
