It's great to welcome so many different people, knowing that every member is connected by their love of books!"I enjoy the interaction between members, and also from my perspective; stories and writing. I enjoy the demonstrated proactive approach to matter and easy flow here. :)

Too much organising to get here!

I think that's a good idea Carolyn!

It's hot here but great to get away to watch out daughter play. Left the other three kids at home with grandparents ;)

As I've not been online, how much of your hol have you got left?
Michael wrote: "Ahh so early 2011. When did i start working with you. Mid 2012 i think?"Wow, just looked & didn't realise this group has so many members. My first comment was back in 2010. Time flies.
Hope it's not all softball Suzanne and your daughter gets some special time with you away from her siblings.

Just a few days now Suzanne:) Have a great time up there!

Or is it all softball? There are lovely gardens and nice walks around town and an excellent visitor information centre if you need any ideas. And then there's Highfields, which has the Chocolate Cottage, amongst other things...

Probably not very often she gets you to herself for so long! Enjoy Toowoomba and the softball :)
Good morning, EBs. It's the start of a brand new week, a blank page to fill. :)
Good Morning! I was just thinking you are up early today again, Vicki!"the start of a brand new week, a blank page to fill. :) "
That's a positive way to start....
Faye wrote: "Hi Vicki, I get they are volunteers, but seriously to make 20 phone calls and get nowhere everyone I spoke to said ring so and so, then that person would say of no you will have to ring so and so. The vet took the possum - the vet was great - but they did not open for two hours when I first found the possum. Don't know what happened to the little guy but think the outcome would not of been good, but at least the vet could do it humanely. "I agree, you shouldn't have to make 20 phone calls. I just wanted to make you (and anyone else) aware that your first port of call for badly injured (versus say an abandoned chick) wildlife should be a vet or an RSPCA clinic with vet facilities. The WIRES volunteers don't have veterinary training. They receive almost no funding (it used to be $13/month) and are usually left out of pocket with feed costs etc. And as you say, if the animal is too badly injured, a vet is the only person who can do it humanely. (I only know this because my man was an RSPCA manager for ten years -- I heard all the stories, except the worst ones, and can almost recite the various animal acts.)
We had an incident with a possum here a few years ago. Early one morning, we found a young possum at the bottom of a tree that had obviously been in a fight. He didn't put up much resistance when we carefully collected him in a towel and put him a box. Fortunately, it happened just as Alan was going to work, so he was able to take him with him. Unfortunately, the possum's injuries were just too serious and it had to be euthanised.

I'm not up early as much these days, which is a good thing. Have a lovely day, Marianne.

Thanks, I hope you all have a lovely day too. Here it is cool and drizzling, even though the weather radar shows no rain. My mum's wash, hanging on my line, tells a different story! May have to give it another spin and hang it in the garage...

Good to hear you're getting over it Michael. The flu really is the pits; it just seems to sap everything from you. :)
I woke up this morning to the sounds of thunder and the flashing of lighting. A thunderstorm of course. I just heard on the news; apparently three people got struck by lightning this morning - I hope they're ok. :)

You poor thing! I've done that before with a waiting room, but not for that length of time - it's like you left your right arm at home!
