Vonny pipped me, nananananana

LAUGHS

Thank you, Foundy! What a wonderful Christmas card! I like - very much - actually, the image on the bottom left is soooooo like Jack Bauer - sigh - yes, I'm STILL watching 24 Hours - onto Series 8 already - at least it will last me until after Christmas!

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

Just popped in to say Merry Christmas everyone.

I hope you all have a lovely day.

Hi Guys wishing you all a Merry Christmas from a sunny Australia. Thank you for the Birthday wishes and lovely pictures of "Dolly".

Merry Christmas (((DUTCHY))) - x

PS Here is your birthday thread http://able2know.org/topic/229742-1

Merry Christmas, Cherrie - have a wonderfully happy holiday!

Hope you've had a lovely Christmas Day, Dutchy!

Dutchy - one last e-card - couldn't resist this one!

STOP

You have to stop making me "select answer" on you Von

AND

So it's now YOUR CHIRSTMAS - EVERYONE !!! ENJOY, BE HAPPY, SMILE, LOVE AND LAUGH.



I spoke to Dutchy & Anna yesterday Oh my, oh my, he really does know I am Blonde... Here he is thinking I rang to wish him a Merry Christmas, but I rang to wish him HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! But, off course, I got that wrong (this year) that means I really do need a holiday... You were right Von, twas the 24th not the 25th!!!



Hey PFTTTTTTTTTTT at least I rang!! He had also spoken to Izzie and they both spoke to their family in PL - Was wonderful to know that they enjoyed all the phone calls from everyone BUT, He called me BLONDE!!!!!

I'll give you Blonde Dutchy!!!!



Wishing you all across the Globe a wonderful day..

The time difference between us all doesn't help matters! I was totally confused yesterday - or today? About today - or tomorrow? Oh dear - blonde moments all round, I think! Almost 10pm here - soon be an end to yet another Christmas Day.

Ain't that a Fact Well stay up two more hours I mean it's Christmas

It's Boxing Day here, we are off to the races soon for the day... I wanna go back to sleep LOLS.

Night Ms Von !

Morning dear friends, another Christmas gone, a quiet one nevertheless enjoyable. Day started off with heaps of phone calls, firstly Izzie from the UK, my family in Port Lincoln and a local "blonde". All that made a great start to the day. Weather was just perfect enabling us to sit outside and ate our goodies. When I watched the TV I felt so sorry for the many people in the UK affected by the storms and rain, fancy being stuck at an airport on Christmas day. I'm now looking forward to Friday when my son and family will be here for a week, last break for my son, before he hit the water in search of the Blue Fin Tuna in the Australian Bight. He is one of the most experienced Tuna catchers in Australia, doesn't need spotter planes to find the fish, but can "read" the water and locate the shoals. Uncanny to watch him down the nets, never misses his target! Interesting cycle from the Tuna grounds 3 to 4 hundred kilometres off shore to to the enormous fish farms at Port Lincoln, a lot of hard work.

WHERE ARE YOU? xxx and a hug.

Morning back Dutchy Good to see you've been all over the place, and your cheeky self as usual Bless Izzie, hope she is having an AWESOME time with her family.. She has the same love heart on her glass door that I have, also on my glass door dododododododod.

Shhh about the blonde

33 today!! Nice. UK is having such a hard time it's horrible the winds and rain, sad...

TODAY IS FRIDAY - FAMILY DAY FOR YOU awesome... So pleased for you both that they are here today...

I am having prawns for dinner

Hiya Foundy.

Nice to see you on this lovely nice and warm Friday. You know me, have to keep myself going by being a little cheeky and play the boss. You witches need some guidance other wise you're getting to staid.

Indeed big day for Dutchy with clan from Port Lincoln arriving later on. You're having prawns for dinner well there is another box of cooked prawns for me on the way, I ordered them yesterday.

Vonny how are the storms/rain going, have they somewhat abated yet? It looked pretty awful on the TV news here. We're blessed with perfect weather in South Australia but in other parts of the Country (the Highlands in NSW) they're having rain and storms too but not anywhere on your scale.

FAMILY

Glad to know you have your family with you now, Dutchy. Such a shame you couldn't get to Port Lincoln this year, but next year perhaps!

Weather here is unspeakable. I woke at 3am to the noise of a jet landing on our roof - only it wasn't, it was the wind. And what a wind! Two doors away a neighbour's tree is lying across his shed and lawn - big tree, lucky it didn't fall towards the house. It's amazing that ours are still standing! There aren't any fairies at the bottom of our garden - too wet. The ground is waterlogged and there are a couple of inches of standing water. It's where an old stream bed passed behind the house - I think it's trying to flow there again!

But other people in the UK have been less fortunate. Roofs blown off, cars crushed, trees down, homes and businesses flooded. So sad, especially when one sees the abandoned Christmas trees and decorations - gifts floating in a couple of feet of water - a bad time.

Glad to hear your weather is so wonderful. Wow - just imagine going down to the beach, in the sun, at Christmas! Sounds too good to be true.

Yes - where IS Sturgis? That man does worry us so. He's kept doing this while you've been away Dutchy. He vanishes into the ether - COME BACK STURGIS - we miss you!

Foundy - broadband problems still bugging you? Haven't seen as much of you as usual on the threads. Or am I just missing your posts - oh yes, I did see a very amusing one, haha

Happy day everybody.

Witches? Need what ? What is he talking about Von, doesn't he know that we just "let" him think he's the boss?


Ah the powers!!!!




Had a couple of days off with Mr D, will post a picture shall I of boxing day? Then because I drove for nearly 2hrs, in a manual arms were not the best last night.


Sending you wishes, that it's just a little snow and no winds as of 3 days time Von....

And, that cat keeps coming back STURGIS





Dutchy you know I know you are not evil nor a troll don't you

Just a short post to say hi to all. I'm busy with the family and the boys have taken possession of my computers.

Foundy, you witch, what sort of ideas about me are spinning around your head, a "troll of an evil man". I can live with that if that is how you interpret my cheekiness. Giggles.

Vonny my dear, come over here, will be in the 30's until well into the New Year, I'll take you to that secluded beach of mine where you can get an all-over tan, guaranteed. We can pick up Foundy on the way through if she promises to behave herself.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Thank you glitterbag and a Very Happy New Year to you.

BEACHES

Wow, Dutchy, love your offer - but you'll need to hire me a special wheelchair if I'm to take advantage of your invitation to the beach! And as far as an all-over tan is concerned? Mmm - sounds nice in principle, but those wheelchair seats get VERY hot!


Foundy - keep your pal in order - he's no troll, of that I'm certain, but he does get a bit cheeky at times

So your boys have your computers Dutchy? Hah - not for long, I'll bet. Can't see you giving up your keyboards without a struggle! Hey, watch out for your jewelled mouse - they might requisition that too - it's a one-off!



Weather update for the UK - no snow, Foundy, not down here, although I believe Scotland had a little on high ground. Plenty of rain though - more than plenty - we are waterlogged! The storms have abated for the time being - gives everybody a chance to mop up and prepare for the next onslaught - oh boy, more Atantic storms heading our way late Sunday.
















Sturgis - still not here? How are you - hope all has gone well over the holiday.

Glitterbag, cherrie and monica - hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas and are all looking forward to an even better New Year.
