"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

Morning missy - morning Dutchy - no I was a meanie and didn't go with him. He did not go either and after working in the garden we just chilled out with daughter and son-i-l for a quiet afternoon and a couple of drinks. Their extra rooms being built on their bungalow are coming along nicely and getting to the stage where painting and floor coverings are needed so daughter is excited to have it finished now. Did you watch the game?

No I did not watch the game ddxx but saw the Roo's got up by 3 points, you should have gone, was obviously a close match. However a family afternoon with a few Chardies is not to be sneezed at either. :wink:

Ship's Log

Well, it's been a funny old week on board a? ?'Nuff said!

My little fella has returned home, my BigBoy has no hair left and I drove a car!!!!

TOOT TOOT - THE FULL MONTY STARTS WORK TOMORROW

So - I know all the crew will be wishing her well and hope that she enjoys her first day as our Montana, Our New Travel Yabberer

Also we must wish our Babbling Girl well too as she is studying for her exams and we know how hard she is working. And of course our QueenDev who has many papers to do - has just seen her BigBaby celebrate - and keeps us smiling all the time. WytVi is also studying these days and we wish her well. Hope to meet you soon girl.

Our CyclingBoy is on holiday right now- so we wish him a great time in the SouthWest (take back yer rain boy! Have a fab time mate and congratulations to ManU!) Our JPB is working up the hours and looking forward to her BigGirls Graduation (love you girl - thanku always). Have a wonderful time on Tuesday and with HubbyGramma staying. Our RH unfortunately is unable to get a connection at the moment but he's in our thoughts each day - missin' you hun. Tulip is also offline at the mo but hoping to see her and the kids tomorrow. Our TaiChi has been onboard (thanku for your help hunni) and our Alex is cultivating his Brussels since returning from southern parts and has celebrated his nephews graduation. ROGrat had a lovely time in ABQ and we can now put his face to his words - lovely to see you Roger.

Missy is soon to go on her well-deserved girlie hol and is holding the fort whilst PaPaDixie travels. Always smile when we see her face on board - she's a star. BabyBlue has been tempted to tend to her gardening needs - we will no doubt hear if the seeds are planted. Stormy has been very busy with school and we're thinking of her as times change in the administration. Wandel has been popping by to make sure all is ship shape and it's always a pleasure to see him on the deck. Indeedee had gained but returned a Pygmalion, but is still feeding all the waifs and strays in DDland - liver diet has now ceased and cooking returns to normal. PaPaDD subterfuge runs still occur on Wednesdays - good for the Ozygal. Indeedee and our BEAgle always steer us through the nite admirably and the ship can't sail without them. Finally rain has come to OZ and green is becoming the colour of the day (which is happy as green is my favourite colour…. Oh and amethyst…. Oh and of course Blue and Pink). BabyBlue has found his sealegs again and as always, keeps us on our toes.

VBV is off in Kerala and we wish her the best holiday - she certainly needed a little break - thinking of her and wishing her happy times. FQsis is very busy right now but all is coco with her, work is her thing but she does check in here when she can.. Uncle Larry and BigRed from the Marlboro Waterway pop by too as and when they can - BigRed still needs a back massage - maybe on Tulips return. RainKeeper is also busy these days but we are hopeful of a return to crew duties soon.

BOSUN BEAgle - well, he's been tending his garden, has had DD's feet upon his aching back and has been playing with his new gadget!!!!!!! BEAgle - love ya - you're just… brill my friend. What more can I say a? :wink:

We have had other crew members join - Mame, MonsieurF, DjjD and UncleGus - hope to see them aboard sometime again.

OH and FLAT STANLEY has returned to Texas with his clotted cream fudge for the kids and is very happy!

Hot chocolate coming up after that brilliant effort Captain. Sleep well.

Oh..... have I gone to bed Nah....... :wink:

Was under the impression you were well and truly asleep in your bunk. What have you been up to, haven't seen you wandering about the deck

Oh I've been trying to catch up on the threads - am totally wasted and should be asleep - aaaaaaaaahhhhh but am in my berth so no worries

Was waiting for my hot choc but it didn't arrive so popped down to the galley

Hey, I did make you a hot chocolate, you know your wish is my command, but couldn't find you. I assumed you'd gone asleep so I drank it myself

MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - did it taste good a?

















Mind did

Min(d) did, but felt guilty though!

Oh dear - it's me with the typos now HA - WAS MAKING YOU FEEL BETTER........ so laughing now........ which is no good because I became a pumpkin an hour ago and I need to sleep

Goodnight dear Captain, I hope you make it this time, catch you in the morning.

Blast - missed saying goodnight to Izzieliz again.

Dutchy get the Big tomorrow. Looking forward to another Demon.

Morning ddxx, have enough puzzles to keep me going, Puzzle Wizard, Big Woman's Weekly, New Idea, Lovatts Variety and People magazine. So add tomorrows Big and I'll be out of my wife's hair for a while.

Izzie had an early night for a change, been out driving with the little fella and was pretty tired I think. Made her a cup of chocolate on her request but she stood me up, couldn't find her. :wink:

Why do you play Big Woman's Weekly - isn't that for Women? :wink:

Just in case you didn't know, I like women, and secondly it has 146 big pages of puzzles. :wink:

Couldn't help myself!

Help yourself!

How you going Missy?

Dutchy - Puzzle Wizard - does that have competitions in it?

I am doing well DeeDee - How are you? Got big plans today?

I was a big girl today - I cleaned my room. Trust me...can't fuss at my own children when mine was looking like it did. I had a few PAIRS of shoes EVERYWHERE. And - well...I am a child - apparently.

We are having a cook-out tomorrow. I am on a damn diet. Have the beach in a week and a half. Self control - pray I have it.
