@Kathryn Too cute. I've been told that the waiting list for these dogs is over 12 months; not too sure how true that is. Dogs with squashy faces have the best expressions:)

Yes, they do! But I think I remember hearing they're more at risk for respiratory problems because everything is all jammed in there. Not sure whether that's true or not, but I guess everything comes with a price, one way or another... And twelve months is a long time to wait for one!

When I went into T2 today they now sell books. Tea and books, what more could you want. The books were gorgeous Penguin Classics in hardcover. I want them now!

with a mere 9 pages of Leaving Time left to read, we had to set out for a little family gathering at Mum's to celebrate her 91st birthday. Still living at home alone, (with lots of help...)

Indeed she is. she had spinal surgery last year.... uses a walking frame now and we do a lot for her, meals etc, washing, garden, but she does heaps of knitting for the missions, sewing for charity, and she enjoys her reading, so she will love Leaving Time, and Hello from the Gillespies (when I'm done with it)

[Dale]

Happy birthday to your mum Marianne.

It's great that she can still be at home with your help and enjoy life. And lucky that she has someone to pass on great books to her!

Isn't it amazing how fast holidays go? And how long they take to roll around again.

That's the worst part of holidays - the end of them.

Still it's nice to be home too :)

Wow that's exciting Michael! Our son just told us he is going to take his eight year old (our grandson) to Sydney next Saturday to see Swans and Fremantle - free tickets into the Fremantle stand! Grandson will be so excited! Pretty special!!

Nice to see you arrived safely, Brenda...and I'm back. All moved :) Kind of. Still things to do. Lots of things to do. It rained and rained and rained and rained and today it was brilliantly blue.

You probably need to rest the hand for awhile - hopefully overnight will help you.

Agree own bed and chairs the best thing about coming home. Welcome back. At least we gave you a fine day as a send off.

Glad you are moved in. Now you can take your time unless you're like me when moving and need to get it all done quickly.

You over the jet lag yet?

Morning, Early Birds!! Am I the only one up this morning? Bette, are you busy chatting on other sites?

[B the BookAddict]

Good morning, happy 2nd day of Spring EB's,

Marianne, the hypnotherapy I'm having for sleep has added an hour extra in the morning so I'm not up until around 4.30am:)
