Good day Izzie and crew. Tuesday. A day that's ending like it started. Good. I even had a box of unbroken taco shells.

@verbivore,
Hi all, pretty busy day downunder, just found the time to read the threads and post a few replies. Thanks for your interesting travel story verbivore and the very interesting photographs from your part of the world. Your writing skills are improving by the day!
Crew may you all enjoy the new day when the sun rises.
@Dutchy,
just thought of u teddy buddy

you are ever encouraging aernt you?? I saw a nice black bear and remembered you ;P But couldnt take his snap as he was too lazy and was sleeping..lemme check though if there are any successful attempts in my collection. And u knw i literally laughed out aloud wen someone was describing "bears" to me - all they do is "eat & sleep" it seems (( lol ))!
well it wasnt a koala..so..and yeah u r Eagle now so..;P cant say much
@verbivore,
there you go

he was cute..a lil perturbed with noises around.
still he slept on ;P
@verbivore,
Oh how sweet of you to post that cuddly black bear, no wonder you thought of your Teddy, he loves to have a little nap on the patio after a snack.
The only 'bear' I ever see is a Koala, occasionally we see one in the gum trees next door, very rare though as we live in suburbia. DDXX would see plenty on her property I guess. They are a lovely creature to look at.
@Dutchy,
Hi, all. Just popping my tired little head in for a bit. The insomnia is catching up with me. Hopefully I'll sleep well tonight and be back to a more normal semblance of normal!!
Hey, just found out today that I have a victim ... I mean client who has agreed to co-counseling. I start next Wed. Woo-hoo!
I had to laugh; as you may know Dutchy is worried about his weight, so he calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program.
The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him Dev, an athletic gorgeous babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.
She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company.
The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me."
Without a second thought, he takes off after her.
A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up.
The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens.
On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised.
Dutchy is so delighted he calls the company again and orders their 5-day/20 pound program.
The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands Lzzie, the most stunning and beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life.
She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me you can have me."
Well, he's out the door after her like a shot.
Lzzie is in excellent shape (all things considered) and he does his best, but no such luck.
So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.
Much to his delight on the fifth day when Dutchy weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised.
He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program.
"Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone. "This is our most rigorous program."
"Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years."
The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy from Chicago (Name withheld in case you think it’s Wandel) standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, “If I catch you, you are mine"
Dutchy lost 63 pounds that week!!!
Congratulations Dev!
Later peeps.
@Tryagain,

@verbivore,
Hi verbivore, I shall nominate your 'blog' for the Nobel prize for literature, and should you win, you can come and visit the Beagle and I will show you all the Koalas, Wonbats and Kangaroos you wish to see.
Try is only guessing verbivore, he wished he was only half as fit as this lean bronzed Aussie.
Wishing all the crew the best of times, going to make myself a healthy 'salad' sandwich.
@Dutchy,
Good Morning Crew!
I have a job. Seriously. I am working for a local preschool. Keeping babies. I actually start Monday - so I don't know how I like it yet. But it is a good thing. I know a lot of the girls there. They are friends of mine from down home that moved up here as well. And I know how to keep babies...two at a time...I think I can handle it.
I won't be on as much. I am trying desperately through the weekend to get the house cleaned out and in order as much as possible. So many irons in the fire!
Verby - you really have lovely pics and your blog is great to read. Thank you for sharing that with us.
Dutchy, as usual - you keep us going...thank you sweet friend.
Izzie and the rest of the crew - you are all in my thoughts this ch-ch-ch-illy morning. This cold weather ain't normal for us Southerners...brrrrrr.
Try - take some soap and well...hopefully you know what to do with it.
hugs to all
@mismi,
Good morning mismi, congratulations in scoring that job, will fit you perfectly I think. Now with all those babies around don't go and get clucky, you have three which is plenty.
After midnight here so its time to say good night a2k.
