"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

Hola, crew!

Been away for a bit visiting Mr B's extended family in the hinterlands of IA. Grandma B turned 90 last week and is doing wonderfully. Haven't read back and need to catch up on a week's worth of work but wanted to wish everyone a happy Wednesday wherever you are.

Hey JPB - ah, it's good to see you girl - glad to hear family is well and you're back home safe. Bless Grandma, 90 years old

now can you pop across the pond please and keep me company




.........................................................................................


I'm in a flummox - the lighting circuit has blown upstairs - I've got power but no lighting... so the boyz came down and we ventured into the garage - now F-boy isn't scared of spiders - but there's a huge one where the trip switch is and tho he was being big and brave, he just can't do it... I'm the adult and I can't do it and S-boy won't even step into the garage - 11.45pm and too late to call anyone and I've got the heeby-jeebies.

I have got power upstairs so the boys have a plug in light on in the room so they'll be fine - the bulb that's blown has obviously tripped the switch but... what doesn't make sense is the big red and white switch still says on and the mcbs/trips all looked to be on but I can't get close enough to them - so I think it's blown the whole top floor circuit and I can't do electrics - it's one of those pull out jobbies - oh flipping bloody nora - dammit dammit dammit - i just can't make myself go out in the stupid damn effing garage dammit dammit dammit and flip the main power switch coz the house will completely black out - dammit!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not worried about the house blacking out, I'm frikken petrified of the damn spiders. DAMMIT!

<cold sweat, heeby jeebies>













aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand breathe!

Back to my butterfly pics! <calm calm calm calm calm>


OK - diddly I can do about it now -

Oh Izzie what a predicament you're in, look at my jocks I'm presently wearing, maybe I can help you.

Better get an electrician in the morning, power outings is not something to play around with, let the experts have a go at it! Don't be brave and venture there yourself, besides think of that big Tarantella.

Nice day outside so I'll be doing some gardening Captain. Our Lemon tree is still growing rapidly and full of fruit, on the other hand the Orange tree seems to have stoppen growing, only half the size of the Lemon tree now yet full of blooms.

Back later.

ha, so tomorrow's boxers are gonna be this a?





Bazza - have a bonzer time in India - get online as and when you can - happy travels!


POMcT - hope you're enjoying the sunshine still - put some cream on that bonce of yours - you're gonna be peeeeeeeeeeeeling! Have a great time


must go to bed...nighty night ((((Crew))))

Nite, nite Izzie, happy dreams, rest well. xxx

Your jocks are pink. You throw a red t-shirt in the laundry or something? Or do you usually wear pink drawers?

I hope that spider is gone in the morning Izzie love. If I was there I would kick its ass. Because I ain't askeered of no spiders. Squish. Okay...well...I would have a really long stick to do it. Better safe than sorry I always say.

I would whine and complain about stuff...but it does me no good.
Work is such work. Whew. And I can't say things anymore like, "I can't wait until summer." Pooh.

Hugs to you all...I'm a reading. See you all later.

Hi mismi, long time no see, hope you and yours are doing well. I'm not going to tell you the colour of my jocks, I like a bit of privacy in that department but I can tell you they're not white

Hugs from downunder.

ROFL!!! BEAgle....!!! no comments! missa wil answer u n ths me gotta rush

Hey Crew

ah Mis 'n BEAgle, the fuse had blown in one of the cartridge thingies - my PaPa came over and looked at it this morning and even he had trouble pulling the thingy out - plus he had to climb up over the shed (that's not built) in the garage - then he noticed the other thingy is broken and has been held together with electrical tape - so, long and short is I need a whole new circuit board.... ack! (but we do have the circuit running upstairs - off a 5amp fuse - how is that possible??? sheesh, talk about a bodged electrical board - nasty!)

As for the spiders - well, my PaPa is as fearful as me re spiders but he's the "big adult" so he just kinda went into the garage very loudly and threw a few things around so the freaks retreated - which then prompted my mother to call us both "woofters"... with the disapproving tone of how stupid we were being and "fer goodness sake, it's a spider" talk. Hey Ho! Irrational fears a? what can ya do!

MaMa is coming back over thisavo and I have to clear some of the stuff from the garage... really, it is impossible to move in there - but, the good thing is, PaPa found all the paint that the previous owner had left so I can get on with doing some basic painting repairs when I feel a little better - problem right now is standing, even with the brace on - it's pants!

So, I've also been a little spooked of late and am getting some lighting set up for the garden - hmmmmmmmmmmm... some strange things going on - got me a little on edge -(and actually, bar the spiders, scary movies and unusual black outs, I don't spook too easy ) - nothing to write home about - just... a feeling FQ and family will all be here tomorrow so that will be coco

Hope work's not too busy for you Mis, and that you get some you time in the evenings - hard with 3 little fellaz running around tho a? Hugs girlie xxxx


MaMaVerby - Bazza posted yesterday so he's arrived safely - maybe you could email the hotel that you arranged and leave a message and your numbers with them, so that he will get it when he arrives. I'm sure all will be OK - he said before he left that if his phone didn't work out there he would just get a new one out there... I'm sure he'll manage to wifi in and read your message tho - today I believe he's out with his 'guide' - he'll be verra excited x

kk - must go and start on the garage - boyz are playing nicely, both a little tired today - but it's been a busy couple weeks for them both - beach party tomorrow so they're conserving their energy

laterzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... x

Hey crew.
I LOVE BOMBAY!
Flight was good but I've forgotten what a toll it takes on your bum!After all these years of flying,how come they still can't make comfortable seats? At least I got a window seat by a door so I had loadsa leg room.Hotel is "adequate" but only just! Situated in a run down area,which IS what I expected.First full day out today.Lost count of how many times I got soaked (it's near the end of the monsoon season) but being a Brit I'm used to it.But it does limit picture taking.Lost count of how many times I smiled as well and not only at the good things.
Sorting out pics on a daily basis on the laptop and will upload and post when I get back.Thing is,I get a feeling that I don't wanna come back.But then,who's gonna feed The Fredster.
Rang Verbs 30 mins ago and will ring here just before I take off on Saturday morning.
Soooooooooooo,laters crew.Will post tomorrow and Sunday night/Monday morning when I get back from Verbs.

nighty night all

Hi guys!

Glad you are there Barry! Have fun...sounds like you are going to have a great time!

Oh Dutchy...you just want me to imagine what kind of undies you are wearing...you cheeky fellow you.

Enjoy yourself Verbs! Give each other a hug from me please! And Barry! Kiss that baby for me!

I am pooped too. I have been at football every night this week and the heat index is ridiculous! So hot! My poor little boys are playing in full pads and helmets...they are soak and wet when we get them home. But they are eating like horses and sleeping like logs. That's a good thing.

Take care of yourself Iz...so glad your folks are there to help you out. That is GOOD! ((Izzie))

I am fine. Work is great. Home is busy. I love the weekends.

Hugs to the whole yabber crew!

Oh mismi you're such a great mind reader. Glad the boys are enjoying their football that, good eating and sleeping will develop them in physically well developed individuals. Having inherited some parts of Mum's anatomy will be an asset as well playing football I guess.

Have a great weekend miss sunshine. (((mismi)))
