"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

Hello crew just a quick note from downunder. They say all good things come in threes but I believe the opposite is true too! Having had the disastrous floods, then the cyclone we now have enormous bush fires burning out of control on the other side of the Country, namely Perth in Western Australia. Sofar 35 homes have been destroyed. http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/huge-blaze-sparks-evacuations-in-perths-northeast/story-e6frg143-1226000922938

Goodness gracious Dutchy - that's horrible. So sorry to hear that.

Superbowl Sunday - looking forward to some fun gametime food...a couple of beers, hot wings, horse deuvers and such...the boys are beside themselves.

I like the commercials Especially the e-Trade baby one. hilarious.

JPB – oh hunni - so sorry to hear about Big Jack – please cuddle him from me... ahhhhhhhhhh, love Jack. (((((((((((((((((((((((JpB)))))))))))))))

Jw – the film looks grand – I’m sure it will be a hit. Wishing Katrina all the best in the world to make this happen.

Boida – hoping all is k with you. Been thinking you and sending you love and well wishes (((Boida))

BEAgle – how awful is that. If it’s not one thing, it's another... so very worried for what the Aussies are having to endure, heartbreaking and tragic for many. The glimmer of light are the stories of those babies being born whilst Yasi was destroying everything in sight. Precious life and hope for the future. xx

Missy - glad you are looking forward to the Superbowl and practice is going good for the boys. Enjoy your family time tonight. Love you. xxxx

Sorry, brief here, sorry for any spelling errors, so tired can't see the board... exhausted. Gotta sleep, now -early start, bloods and physio at 9.30... oof = how - I climbed mountains yesterday, yomping thru a deserted forest, roaring river... click click click. Serious payback today Nem'mind. Worth it.

Head's nodding, must sleep
Love you all and thinking of y'all, every day

((((((((Blue))))))) oh, xox smooches you - stay safe.



night x

Dutchy I've heard that things come in threes, and not just good things. I think your country has had it's share of bad recently...now it's time for things to turn around.

I'm watching the superbowl, but not enthusiastically this year. I'm not a fan of either team . I think I'm rooting for GreenBay...as the lesser of two evils. There's way too much yellow on the field this year....

Morning Crew

thinking of those out in W.Oz... so sad.







overwhelming fatigue - gone to bed indefinitely - maaaaaaan I hate feeling like this - so so tired, can't do anything.

catchy'all later - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hi Izzie and Stormy, fires still burning, 60 homes destroyed sofar but luckily no fatalities. Oz certainly getting a hiding in recent weeks. Watching the fires on TV as we speak.

Izzie hope you're going to feel much better after you had your sleep, watch causing your fatigue? How is FlavourQueen doing?

Concerned for tryagain, what is he doing demonstrating in Cairo's Tahrir Square? Was under the impression politics isn't his domain.

Waves from downunder.

Salvete Amici!

Missy wrote, "I am calling it a night !"

OMG I don't believe it...
that's what I call it when it gets dark.

Wow! We are like so riding the same wave and singing from the same hymn sheet - although not at the same time. Which is more than can be said for Christina Aguilera fluffing the lines of the national anthem - Sheesh!

BTW Dutchy, have you been watching CNN? Over here we call our surfboards- Sticks.

Furthermore, contrary to popular belief the wax is applied to the top (deck) to give some grip.

Any politico knows that Mr Zog's world famous Sexwax! 'For when your stick gets too slick'! Is all you need to ride twin peaks.


It is to Miss Izzie that I am saying, take it easy. God made the world in six days, five maybe if he had saved time without all the fiddly bits between Cape Cod and Coney Island. Get some rest ydon'tya!

Sorry JPB for the sickness of your pet, I hope it turns out well.

Oh what it is to stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of the tides, to feel the breath of a mist moving over a great salt marsh, to watch the flight of shore birds that have swept up and down the surf lines of the continents for untold years, to have knowledge of things that are as eternal as any earthly life can be... Why oh why then did I bet on the Steelers?

Secret smooches.


Go Red Sox!

Thanks for all the kind thoughts on Jack. It's as we thought -- no intervention, just make him comfortable until such time as it's time to let him go. Very sad, but...

((( Izzie ))), get loads of rest. I hope you feel better after a long snooze.

Dutchy, it sure has been piling on there, hasn't it? I hope the damages are limited to property.

Happy Monday, all! I hope this is the beginning of a happy and healthy week for all.

Oh no, I'm sorry about Jack, JPB.

Excuse me young fellows, you can't do that there here.

Now that the Superbowl is over we can get on with the good stuff. First spring training game is Feb 26th. If only I lived in Florida...or could afford to get there .

mismi, I can't believe your boys have already started baseball. You are so lucky to live in the south. We have so much snow it feels like we'll never get there. I get a little twitchy this time of year waiting......

Oof - wasn't that horrible Try? Bless her heart. She handled it well...most people probably never noticed....


Horses fanny you are.

How's the shack and the hounds, hillbilly?

((JPB)) <sigh> so sorry. Heavy hearted for you girl.
((Izzie)) wishing you good, healing rest.

Hello Crew - take care of yourselves. Hugs to all...

Thinking of you all - can't write just now, must sleep again... been around 7 hours sleeping/tossing/turning today and I have 3 days of work to somehow get thru - not too sure how I'm gonna stay awake for them. Would love to reply to y'all individually. Please know I'm thinking of each one of you but I can't keep my eyes open. Up in 6.5 hrs.

McT - love that Granny - SuperGran - what a brave wee lady. S-boy called her a Legend! When is you implant op? Soon?

((Missy, BEAgle, Soz, Stormy, ((((JPB)))) was looking at Jack photos tonight (very sad, fond memories)

smooches ((Blue)) xox x

Night for now Crew - sorry to be so brief - mebbe a blessing

Snow.
More snow.
I have been that good, santa is returning.
Good day. Actually early evening. Eating a king sized heart shaped mounds. Asking myself to be my valentines has paid off.
Working much, a bit of time to play.

JPB,..well,..I do not know,.just wanted to type your name JPB. Thoughts your way.

Mounds is a candy bar.

Waiting for grape hyacinths to pop their heads up.

Warmness everyone's way.

Yep - they draft the first week in February and they start practice next week. It's cold Stormy - I can hardly stand these cold practice nights - but it passes fairly quick...the boys don't feel it AT ALL. But it gets so hot here we have to start fairly early - or we would be scorching playing All Stars in July - that is almost as hard...there are only so many clothes you can take off before they cart you off to jail around here At least with the cold I can put plenty of clothes on!

Izzie - I am so sorry you are that tired hun. Take care of yourself. Thoughts and prayers as you go to work...I know that seems daunting at best right now.

((Dutchy)) How you doin'?

Shoot McT - they won't let me see that here...it can only be viewed in the UK.

ALEX! How you doin'? heh heh...sorry - couldn't help myself.

That was a funny video mismi. Can imagine your southern accent mixed with joeys on that. Ear to ear in a smile.

Hi miss sunshine, doing fine thanks, glad you and the boys are enjoying the baseball, now don't YOU overdo it. (((mismi)))

Sorry mismi, shame. I have the same problems here with clips from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

But I bet it'll turn up on YouTube. I'll have a look.
