"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

djjd62 if it is any consolation, +43C/+110F tomorrow (Friday) with the long awaited cool change arriving on Sunday.

Thanks for checking in, MM. And, thanks for your efforts of support for your community.

dj -- it's been "real" winter for the second consecutive year. Deep cold spells that remind me of the old days. I kinda liked the milder winters of the past ten years.

dutchy -- my condolences. I think I have a harder time with horrendous heat than I do extreme cold. I'm glad relief is on the way.

missy -- Keep yourself healthy around all those sickuns. We've had the crud going through this house too. My turn...

sending cyber thoughts out to bathy. Hopefully she'll check in soon.

(((( Izz ))) -- you know.

happy day to the rest of the crew.

Hey y'all

Hope S gets better soon Mis - poor little fella. Glad that the Prof is doing good tho. Try not to do too much Mis - you'll run yourself down again - rest up when you can, k!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...DjjD... cannot even possibly imagine how cold that is. Nope.... can't imagine it! Hope you have plenty logs and are keeping the fire going. BEAgle........ ohhhhhhhhh.... too too hot.... glad the cooler air is winging it’s way to you. Little fella went to school today and they are due for snow in the North of the county. Big snowball fight at school methinks. He's staying over so will have some fun with his mates. The moors is covered in snow.... but only "Arnies" tummy remains here... the rest has joined the river.

Funny, how you have one drop of this...





add a bunch, turn the temperature down, smoodge ‘em all together... and for a brief moment, the whole world changes



then a moment later.... we have this again...






I'm being a little on the bleugh side right now - got myself in a pickle - wheelchair and all the OT stuff arrives today and I'm trying to get the house sorted out with everything put away and access friendly. It's making me feel cr*p.... worried. Know I shouldn't be (yada yada yada been there been there been there, done it, done it, done it)... but it's there, messing with the frayed threads in my head. Haven't really stopped today and need to keep going - it's slow. I start, I stop, I start, I stop.

Yep JPB... I do know - thanku hun. x

Back a little later. Smooches y'all. x

I start...again - oof!

Hi Izzie, know I'm thinking about you and sending you heaps of vibes (hot), just keep plodding away and you'll get there. You went through all this 12 months ago and overcame your adversity, and you will do it again, only this time you have a big crew supporting you as well. So be optimistic my dear, it will all turn out well. ((((Izzie))))

...reminds me of the weeks leading up to your move to the new house. Fits of starts and stops until, all of a sudden, it was crunch time. Where ya livin' now, hun?

Hello JPB...waving back at ya! How's things?

Hi to everyone else too

Izzie, echoing Dutchy's thoughts, you will get through ok. Lots of love, T x

Hi Stormy, good to see you, drop in a bit more frequently, missing you on the threads.

W/V played my J/P's this morning, waiting for the return challenges.

Where is our Captain? Trying to raise her, here there and everywhere, snowed in?

JPB condolences accepted, two more scorchers to overcome and we should be right.

just sent a little hello to our captain via FB, hope she's well

hello to all the shipmates

Checking in.
Dance class Sunday, Monday and last night. <blink>
I could use a nap.

shouldn't that be waltzing in

<ouch>

those glute muscles kick in when you least expect it

You know it's hot when they start leaving the country.

cool, saw some pics on another site of koalas trying to beat the heat, under parked cars, bathing in buckets on peoples porches

wow <shakes head in wonder>

Dutchy... what is the normal high temp for your part of Oz during this time? I know it's been unbearably hot, but how much hotter than normal are you experiencing?

Average temperature for the month of February is 29.2 degrees celcius or 85 degrees fahrenheidt for the city where I live. In the outback it is much higher, in places as high as 38C 0r 100F.

Just loved the pics, Dutchy! Thanks for posting them.

Hey Crew

I'm so sorry for not being at the helm - looks as tho the Black Pearl is sailing along with y'all with the addition of a kanga-croo wishing to jump aboard. How amazing is that? I saw the koala pics too... poor wee critters.

It's snowing here... just started - about 2 inches - tomorrow is second and final audit day and I need to show my replacement the ropes along with showing the auditor the books .... right now - not sure I am going to make it in. Hey ho. That would go down well. Past caring.

My world is rocking at the moment - I am trying to steady it. For once, I can't talk about it. It's all in my head. I don't want to go onto my old thread - I'm hoping to be past that. Who knows tho - I am sh!te right now(sorry for swearing Mis). Of course, this too shall pass. As Noddy would say, I need to get on with "holding my dominion". If I only knew where I had left it, it would help.

Tomorrow I shall prolly be back to normal and not being a drama queen. Nah.... maybe not.

I am thinking of y'all and apologise for being this way. Would help if the tears would stop too - why is that, that tears just fall down when and there's diddly you can do about it. I don't even have the excuse of being hormonal. It's crap. You folk are the people I trust. Sad thing is, if I don't say it here - I have nowhere else to say it. Tired, sore, scared and grumpy. Good 'ole Iz.

OK............. there....... said it all.... it's one those "ignore the wretch in the corner" posts - all that snow, too much excitement for one week - HA!


feels a bit better just writing it out


sorry... I could lie and say all is kuhsti.... but actually, I can't....lie.

sit back, relax, the ship is in good hands

Thanks Didge... helm to the crew...


if you spot a Kanaga alongside, please can you put out the life boat and we'll have new croo on board.

Lovin y'all

Iz x

nite...
