"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

Okay Izzieliz no problems - will take some more pics - but pots arn't in yet. Maybe next week. I will take some pics over the next day or two and post them. So glad you aare feeling better.

Hi wandy - great looking kids u have. Well done!! ((((Just went back a few and checked))))) It is soooooo hot here ..... going to check out for a while and soak the tootsies. Someone is yelling at me as usual!!!!!

Actually ... going to check out now ... don't want to make a complete asssssssssss of myself again....so going to quietely go and water the plants and watch a movie and put myself to bed. Night Night everyone still out there. Pleasant dreams. :wink: :wink: :wink:

Hi ddxx, have some good news for you! Heatwave will end tomorrow when we'll have 30 degrees, followed by a couple of days in the mid twenties. Will be nice over Easter with days in the low thirties, unfortunately no rain forecast! Good night, have a great sleep, we'll talk to you in the morning.

Thank you for the invite Izzie to organize a night out for the crew. After our hectic Arabian night party I propose something a little slower, namely a typical outdoor Australian BBQ on the patio. The weather will be balmy and the Bear is most anxious to demonstrate his culinary skills. Just bring yourselves, your appetite, your thirst and be casually attired. We'll cater for the meat eaters, the vegetarians, the seafood eaters, the drinkers and the non drinkers. You won't go short, we'll even provide the music. Just to whet your taste buds a photo from my last bbq.

Good Morning / Afternoon / Evening









BARBIE AT THE BEAR'S ON WEDNESDAY

HAPPY DAYS


So glad the temperatures will cool (PHEW) - tho certain the dancing will be HOT. Feel a little "salsa" coming on!



WW-WOM - thinking about you as you venture to work. Hugging you big. ((((strength))))

Just finished reading the posts. You all make me smile and I am still listening to the sail music

I have the same tax software. Now I know what you're talking about (with the mint sprouts). My animals? My dog is doing fine, but my cat isn't. She has turned diabetic and is losing weight rapidly. My last cat was diabetic and I had to give her insulin. She would go into diabetic comas and I would have to rush her to the vet. I am not going to have my current cat go through all that. Otherwise, I am letting nature take its course

y is it that for the past few days im not able to access A2k during the day.,,
the error message is "critical error" im missing a2k sooo much those out there who knw wats the prob pls do let me knw

OOOOOOOOOOOhhhh TTHun - know the feeling about the kitty - had to have mine put to sleep a few years ago - but didn't want him to suffer any more. Was the right thing to do for him - but very sad. (((xox)))



VBV - A2K had a few "hamster" problems on Friday and had to clean out the cages - but seemed to be up and running on Saturday. I had a few problems posting on Sat pm. but all appears fine now. Glad you got back on - it's nice to see you here girl. Our Bear's having a few hiccups with his line too - hoping he will be sorted out in the morning.

verbivore
I have had the same problems too. You are not alone

Good Morning crew, just made it in here, don't ask me how. Will be off line for a while methinks trying to get rid of them gremlins.

TTH, aren't you one big problem.

Nice to see verbivore again, had visions she lost her way after the party, looking for the Bear. Would I be so lucky.

Hello Izzie, you must be still in your bunk, will peep in later and bring you a smile. Trust you're floating gently on those tootsies of yours. :wink:

G'day peeps! Glad to be aboard; what's on the menu for today?

Good morning all! Dutchy - great idea and so nice to know you cater for vegetarians. Been one for thirty years but do like scallops, oysters and the occassional piece of fish. Your culinary skills look good. I will bring smashed potatoes - so easy and go great with barbeque food.

I will bring a plate - it looks yummy!

Looks like I missed out on the food! Ah well I'm a veggie too but don't eat fish so just as well. You could have done some Corn or veggie burgers! I have just realised I have eaten soup for lunch and soup for tea, well at least it's food!

Well ship seems to be sailing along nicely, have done the rounds and all ship shape I think!


And all night long they sailed away;
And when the sun went down,
They whistled and warbled a moony song
To the echoing sound of a coppery gong,
In the shade of the mountains brown.
'O Timballo! How happy we are,
When we live in a Sieve and a crockery-jar,
And all night long in the moonlight pale,
We sail away with a pea-green sail,
In the shade of the mountains brown!'
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.

Hey WW-WOM

Thanku for that girlie. Ship is sailing nicely with the wind.

You haven't missed the food hun - it's round to Bears for a BBQ on Wednesday - and he does do veggie - he's a Koala and only eats greens! Hope all went well today. Been thinking bout you.


OK crew - well, it's St. Patricks Day today….. so as a tribute to the Irish and the ship I sailed 20 years ago - here's my Oz pics which I have been looking at!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW STRANGE IS THIS - 20 YEARS AGO I was travelling round the world and sailing a ship - to the day, I am sailing around the world on another ship. HOW COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Asgard II - Irish Tall Ship in Aus 88 (some of you have seen already methinks - but for those who haven't - izzn't she stunning?)



We limped into Port Welshpool. I'm by the helm - tho that had NOTHING to do with why we ran out of fuel - storm lasted 58 hours!



44 knots w/s - Force 9 - check out the lines - IT WAS SO SCARY! But what an adventure.



So. moving swiftly on - Kakadu National Park - (4 months later)
Croc.Dundee tree at UDP falls (me at the top of the tree, Mark and Sarah)



Water nymphing!



Climbed to the top of UDP - OMGosh - just how beautiful can it get? A piece of heaven (but very, very hot and humid!)




Mark, me, Sarah



And the most gorgeous Twin Falls - perfect.




OK - that's me done with the photos today (yawn yawn) - would imagine it looks just the same now as it did then - unspoilt.

Lovely photos, lovely memories, thanks for sharing.

Am going to try to sleep now, hope to dream of those golden sands and dreamy waterfalls....................

Morning try, ww and captain - what stunning photos Izzieliz. You must have had a ball.

Nite WW-WOM - sleep well ((xox))



Indeedee - girlie - Good Morning to you - I did have a ball - such amazing memories and strange to think it was 20 years ago when it is just like yesterday in my head - but you know, honestly, life's just starting again for me .... so the best is yet to come.

good on you Izzieliz - great attitude!!!
