"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

Holy cow...that has some serious caffeine in it.

Have a beer instead mismi, always picks me up.

Dutchy....a beer would knock me on my @$$ - I get sleepy when I drink...well - silly then sleepy.

Hey crew!

It’s been one of those evenings " you know, when ya look around and think you better clear the decks! Tiring " ack. Some done. Coco’ish.

Thanku RH for the twelve days.... funny - at the work "do" the other nite, on the way there we were talking about which muppets we would be and which our colleagues would be - the hilarity which ensued did not bear repeating when we got the pub! Lorraine and I elected to be the "grumpy old men" in the balcony - we did great impressions in the car. One of our teachers really does look like "animal" - she's very funny and up for a laugh. If you were a muppet - which would you be???????? <we use the term "muppet" a lot over here>

Tulip " looking forward to tomorrow evening. Will call you in the morning if S-boy doesn’t wanna come shopping. Got visitors at 10am and then going to try and head into town, if I can force myself. Call me if you need me to pick anything up. x

Blue " ‘bout time you turned up " we miss you when you are cock-a-hooping away on the farm " we much prefer you to gallavant with us onboard. Glad to hear the manicurist has sorted you out - it’s all in the preparation " soak, soften, file and buff boyo - now don’t forget to keep your cuticles soft " lots of cream " just make sure it’s not Preparation H! Soooooo good to see you. Hugs, bigguns. Xox

BEAgle " Mis " Jinkypop games were wiped out so started a new one.... Mis.... don’t have your user name " it’s gone " mine is Izzieliz if you wanna send one over, and Indeedee. Lovely to see y’all onboard " everyone seemed to arrive at the same time whilst I had a date with the broom. Something wrong with that visual a? Mis... care to share a can " could do with some energy too.

Oh..... I have a coupla pics to post... back in a moment or two...or .... few

The fog bank in the valley thismorning...

Can look kinda eerie in a magical, mystical sorta beautiful way. So peaceful, almost delicate.





With a hue of blue...

I just wanted to let you know that a good friend of Brooklyn’s has been in touch " the gal is safe and sound and just taking some time out for her right now. Gonna try calling her tomorrow on the dog-and-bone and see if we can get in touch. I know y’all have been thinking about her " she has many friends here and is very loved and cared for. Will send a message from the crew to let her know how much.

As always stunning photographs Izzie, you've got the eye to always capture something special my friend.

Happy to hear about Brooke, give her my best should you happen to be in contact with her tomorrow.

Almost 1am in your part of the world Captain, about time you hit the sack, and let the bosun take charge.

pass on some greetings from the great white north if your talking to brooke

Nite crew - Bosun on the deck...

Happy days to one and all tomorrow.

Thinking of you Brooke and Dev.

Good night Izzieliz (probably missed you). Will send you a "jinky" for tomorrow. ((hugs))

Hi ddxx, pleasant day here, j/p is not kind to me. Up to date with Lovatts though!

... catching up between extra dance classes ... snow shovelling ...
... reading...
... something about alex shaking his bootie ...
... brooke's on the road again - hope she's being cautious on the winter roads ...

Hi Ebeth. Snow shovelling - sounds so weird to us down here. Beagle - you will still find a way to outsmart me I am sure. Going to call it quits for now and go and share a chardy with mama and chill out for a while (last chance before the in-laws arrive tomorrow). Hugs to all.

Hi, all! Just poppin' in before I hit the hay. Hope you all are well. I'm hangin' in there. Hope to have more time to get on in the next couple of weeks. The counseling center is closed for a winter break, so that'll free up some time for me. Probably have to fight the kids for the dang computer though!

Hi dev, welcome back on board, we missed you but knew you were busy. Looking forward to a little sparring over the holiday period. (((Dev)))

ddxx, not so sure about j/p but you deserve that Chardy, will have a VB with you, cheers.

I am still up! Have some cookies in the oven and just finished some of the projects for the kids Christmas Parties tomorrow. I had to make Who outfits for J and S - they are suppose to be having a Who Party in Whoville. I had to make them vests and then find my red lipstick so they can have little red circles for their cheeks. They are going to be adorable I think. I made fudge, made something called Trash (it is delicious) and now am about to finish wrapping presents.

I hope I can go to sleep then. We shall see.

Such a busy little mother, your boys will appreciate what you've done for them. and I would love to taste one of your cookies. Good night dear mismi, sleep well.

Morning All

4.5 hours sleep... so not enough. I woke up in the middle of a dream - really weird - at 6.30am.... it was as if someone was right there.... the strangest, sweetest, weirdest, feeling ever. It was either hello or it was goodbye (don't use that word) - weird weird weird!

HA - can imagine now what you're all thinking - the girl has truly lost the plot - laughing - really haven't - it was just the strangest thing.

Wishing everyone a fab day - Dev.... good to see you girlie - hope you got my messages - hugs hun x

I gotcha' beat last night Iz - but it was of my own decision. Will be dragging my sorry behind around later that's for sure! I have the Who boys all outfitted - I have got to go buy a camera - per my husband. "I thought I was getting one for Christmas", I told him. Well, you were but we need it now! HA - so I get to go buy my Christmas present and it is true - we need it now! I will be up there to take the little Who boys pic today so maybe I will learn how to post them. It may be a few days since my mind is mush.

I am off to school. 2 parties today. Kids were so excited they couldn't stand it. MY HOUSE LOOKS LIKE IT BLEW UP! There is stuff everywhere. Gotta do something about that too.

Good to see Beth and Dev here. Miss y'all.

hugs and kisses y'all
