"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

Good Morning / Afternoon / Evening

Hello crew. FullMonty - how's the painting a? Are you covered in splooges yet? ROGrat - glad to see you on the deck. Hope all is well with you mate Stevie - your cycling expedition sounds "perfect" - mental pic of pedalling ploughed paddocks post Paddy's pint :wink: -good one hun - hope you had a great time. Hey RK - how's you???????

Oh - it's been a nice day - very exciting for me because Tulip took me out for the afternoon ….

First - the kids (including the big kid Tulip) had a bit of a bounce…. (Tulip is bouncing on her toosh)





Then the little fella was bounced by the Tulips…



Anyhoo - then off to the beach - Widemouth Bay (Black Rock) …..



Oh it was so fabbbbbbbbbbbbbb….. we left the house in sunshine - arrived at the beach in rain - took a walk (hobble) - kids found treasures - including a TOAD!!!! (how strange was that!)









There were so many surfers out today.... (plus one eedjit near the rocks )





Then the Power Kite boys arrived....



K - well, the guys were having a few problems……



Finally - he was up and blowing in the wind… bless him - he kept the Pkite up for ages (bet his arms are sore tonite!!!!!) - he was good!



So - STONKER of a day!




Now - exhausted and I'm having a lie down - so lovely to go out tho and to the beach. Thanku Tulip - I had a lovely time…..

Still laughing about the "rabbits" - they were doing what rabbits do as we were driving along - Tulip did a BIG doubletake - and how we laughed!

Sorry to bore you with all the pics - but this was a good day - not been too well and it was just what I needed! Thanks WW - you're a star.


So - Dev - here's some surfers in frog form (maybe a toad or two) :wink:

LOVE the pics, Izzie! Quite different than out view here. Nice to put names to faces as well.
Sounds like all reporting in are having a lovely day. Just came in myself for a tea. It's a little chillier than it looks. Oh well, that's Michigan for you!
Thanks, too, for the video! If I'm not careful, I could spend all day reminiscing on those you tube videos!!

Looks wonderful Izzie!

OH HEY....


FQSIS - INDEEDEE and all those who have discussed the use of Incontinence Pads... :wink:

OMGosh - I love BILLY

(Dev - must watch...)
(RK - thanku hun - waves )

Well you had to do it Izzie! Post the pics!

Really great time thanks Izzie just what we all needed! and boy were those rabbits at it! X

Cleaned the car inside when I got back, took the dog out made the tea and had some wine so now feeling tired. But worth it X

Good morning gang. Izzieliz loved the pics - some of those sea scenes would make great paintings. Nice to BT had a good time with you. Had a great day yesterday but as I suspected very hectic. Pooped by the end of the day.

Ah ha - there's the girlie - hey to you OzyGal - thought you'd had a busy day - hope all had a great time tho. How's the rain situation - and smoke for that matter - has it all gone now???

Hope all is well with MaMa and PaPa. You got plans for the week ahead?




Oooooooooooooh..... it's good to see you girl I've missed ya!

Yeah smoke all gone but still no rain and not any predicted. My poor dam (it used to be a lake) is no more than a puddle - I have never seen it so empty in twentyeight years. Maandpa both well. Quiete week this week and I even thought of doing a painting. Which site did you pick your avatar from - I thought I might do something in the art deco line.

Hope your munchkin and mama are well. How's the sale going?

Hey Indeedee - googled Charles Rennie Mackintosh and images

My Ma and Pa are fine too - MaMaIzzie is still helping me out as and when - the little fella stays with her part of the week until I can drive again (he has to get to the school bus in the mornings). Both the boys are doing good at the moment - which is a blessing - thankfully.

The house move is still static - still waiting for the chain to complete - some guy has to have a medical for his mortgage (or something like that) and he doesnt see the doc until May 8th. Then the report has to go to the underwriters ..... so who knows how long yet. Everyone's houses are packed up and ready to go - but it's all dependent on this chap's medical report. So we sit and wait and hope it all turns out well. Can't do anything about it so not gonna stress - would be nice to move tho and take that other step forward. What will be, will be.

Oh BEAgle sends his love to one and all - he's safe and sound with his family in Port Lincoln and enjoying himself. He wanted everyone to know all is good.

Good to hear beagle is well. What's he going to do without a computer for ten days? Going to nick out for a while to do some shopping with mama and daughter and munchkin - yabber to you soon.

Have a good day hun (think the BEAgle might try to get onto a computer if he get's a chance :wink: ) Love him - he's gonna miss us as much as we miss him. :wink:

Have a good day Indeedee xxxxxxxx

Crew - you are the very Best

Hello Crew,

So glad to hear Dutchy is safely with his family and that the rest of you seem to be doing well. Loved the pics Iz...so beautiful. Glad that you and Tulip got to get away together with the kids. Hoping you see an end to all of this house business soon.

Very laid back day. I am still trying to recover I think from this last week. I am so sluggish right now...thinking it is from all this laying around I'm doing...just wears me out!

Just wanted you all to know I was thinkin' bout'cha...
Going to ready the boys for dinner and bed.

HUGS!

Really enjoyed the photos Izzie -- looks like you had a wonderful day.

Sunny here, so masses of laundry hung out and some tomato plants potted.

Just checking in for a look 'round.

Oh - I need to do that Tai...I keep thinking "this week I will have time to get my garden planted", and then I don't - sounds like a wonderful day for you though...

Maybe this week I will get my garden planted :wink:

Well...it's only 4 tomato plants. We're jumping the gun here actually -- hoping it won't freeze. Usually this far north we wait 'til after May 24th.

(Love your sig line by the way )

Made me laugh too...that's why I had to use it! And I really am that way - cannot think of a retort at the time...the moment passes and then when I finally think of it, it's lame. :wink:

Well - maybe it won't - though we keep getting cold snaps down here as well...cold snaps for us anyway...40's at night - pretty chilly in May.

If they are potted can't you bring them in? Or are the pots just too big?

Cool. You can have my share of the carbon. My Giant Cypress SX is my aluminum off pavement bike, and the Randonee has been modified to what I call a street bike. Now, when I win the lottery, I might take a look at titanium.

Beautiful photos, Izzie. Thanks for sharing.

Big heavy terracotta pots. MY suggestion was to keep them up on the 2nd floor deck until all danger of frost was past. MY suggestion was ignored. So I'M not lugging them upstairs
