Hi Julie and EB's. What a start to your day; I bet there were many bad words being said by the driver of that truck:) And probably a few from people as they were woken rather rudely!

They don't usually come until much later when everyone has left for work and all the cars are gone giving better access. He must be a new guy...he won't forget this morning in a hurry :)
yes, pouring with rain here too, lots of green & even yellow on the radar, no walkies outside today. Water tanks are overflowing now, I hope someone needs this rain. At least I won't have to water Mum's garden when I go there later...
Morning all! (Just). Have had a bug and have been doing way too much sleeping instead of anything else. As an early riser, waking up at 9am is ridiculous!Wish it was raining here. Our farmers will be very sad that it's not.

Sleep is probably exactly what your body needs, Leonie! Take it easy, and I hope you recover quickly!

Hope you feel better soon, Leonie. Sleep is the best thing it gives the body a good rest :)

You'll forgive me if I laugh. But then I'm not a techno person.
Thanks Kathryn and Sharon. On the upside, I did do a fair bit of reading yesterday and Sunday, and a bit more today.Hope your upload gets a move on Ashleigh! That's a long time to be waiting.
Ashleigh wrote: "The laptop hates me. Upload won't work and somehow it deleted all our photos on a camera card."Oh dear sounds like you're having a very trying day, Ashleigh :( Perhaps it's time for a cuppa and a good book if you have one close by :)
Ashleigh wrote: "I think so. When I get home in a bit. It's my volunteer job. Even my boss can't work it out"You can feel a little better knowing it's just not you who can't work it out. At least you tried and that's all you can do :)
Exactly as frustrating as it may be :)

It's sunny here :( I wish it was raining.

It seems to include a lot of the east coast of AU Liam... my daughter said it's raining at home too!
It has pelted down all last night and then all day so far here. Glad I got out for a walk by the beach in the sunshine yesterday. Might be it for a while.
Ashleigh wrote: "The laptop hates me. Upload won't work and somehow it deleted all our photos on a camera card."How annoying. Ashleigh. I didn't mean laughing at you earlier. It's definitely not a bit funny. Laughing at the idea that technology makes life easier. Only true when it's working properly.
Mod
I think you might live near where we are staying Dale...

Hi all I'm missing my little group of Aussie readers, I'm at Manly with my daughter who is competing in the school softball state PSSA comp, in the rain, she's having a ball pitching and sliding in the rain. She's representing Sydney West. So hi from rainy Manly ;)
Mod
Ooh not nice weather Suzanne:( Stay warm and dry (if you can!!)

I made sure I took enough jackets and gum boots, lots of people wore ballet flats.. Not me ;) We are here till Thursday. Thanks Veronica
Well, I'm moving Friday :( :) . Currently surrounded by boxes, plastic bags and dust.

We are watching 'Blended' at the hotel, two mums, two daughters who are 'besties'. My book is on my lap to read at the same time ;) Thanks Brenda, how was your holiday (it was a small one wasn't it? I haven't been online)
Mod
Still on it Suzanne;) Not home for a week yet!
Enjoy your time with the softball and the other Mum:)
Mod
Good luck with it all Sharon! I hate moving!! Where are you heading to? Far from where you are now?

And just when you think it cannot possibly rain any harder - it does! Incredible.

Thanks for sharing, Margot. Good to see there are still a few bookstores still open in and around Melbourne. I've been to the Dymocks store, but it was years ago :)
Mod
We had that last night - even with two stories and us on the bottom, it still sounded like thunder on the roof!

That is an awesome link Margot! Thanks for sharing:) It's so hard to believe that people are saying the print book is dying when you see seventeen wonderful bookstores in one city alone!
I wonder if that Dymocks is the one Elaine works in?
Good Morning EB's...still bucketing down here in torrents!! Which it has been doing for most of the night.
And it's raining here too! The farmers will be happy :)
Morning all. Just got back from my walk and it's very foggy here, but it's going to be a lovely sunny day :)

Only up the road, thank God. We sold our house in Sydney 10 years ago and moved here, and some things I never unpacked. Those little things you keep because you can't part with them. They went down to Salvation Army yesterday :) I'm aiming to only have a box to move next time :D
