Haha! You could be right Laura!

Good Morning Dale! You are up early (or is it late??)

[B the BookAddict]

Hi Marianne, Dale and other EB's:) Hope you all have a enjoyable Sunday ahead.

It was early Marianne. Tried a while later to go back to bed but sleep was elusive, so I'm back here again.Just written a review of

[Kathryn]

Morning Marianne, Bette, Dale and any other early birds - I can't sleep either... :-( It's only 5am - and on a Sunday - how unfair!

[Sharon]

Good morning all. I was also up early 5:15. Another wet morning here so no walkies this mornig :(

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Good morning all, I also woke at 5am. Tossed and turned till 6am and gave up when the thought of a cuppa became too great a temptation :)

[Carolyn]

Hubby was up at 5 am to go cycling (ugh!) but I managed to go back to sleep for another hour. Doesn't always happen but we had a late night. I'm a big fan of the Sunday morning sleep-in but now it only happens when it's raining and cycling is cancelled! Still it's a nice morning for a walk :)

Morning folks - I'm off to breakfast with some bookie friends - we meet the first Sunday every month and gossip and swap books. We've done this for years :)

Today we give each other gifts (always books) so we each have at least 2 pressies under the tree on Christmas Day

We also buy each other books that we would like to read as well because during the year we'll read our gifts and then pass them onto the others - the Christmas gift that keeps on giving - LOL!

[Sally906]

For a non-Goodreads challenge next year I have to read a book with the genre sport - non-fiction or fiction.

Would you guys class Yoga as a sport? I know it is normally associated with relaxation but a friend of mine does a type of Yoga that gets you all puffed and sweaty for fitness.

Hmmmmm...how about passive pre/post sport exercise? :)

Yes I most certainly would! What fun:)

Have a wonderful time! That sounds like a great idea and lots of fun...enjoy!

Hope you had a great bookish time Sally.

When I go to visit my elderly Mum and bring her lunch (twice a week), if my local sister is there, we three have a few games of rummikub.
I am a novice so it has taken AGES for me to actually win a game.
I mentioned it to hubby and so he said, let's play a game here (we had a set here we had never used): he had never played so I explained the basics and managed to win a few games. Now we play a game or two every night and lately he wins all of them!! No fair!

[Neko]

Awe Marianne :( That is no fair!! I'm sure you'll win some against him soon!!


Hahaha..Never imagined getting disappointed because I couldn't get a book as a digital version..THAT is a first!

[Sally906]

I looked in the genre section of Goodreads and found sports - this is the description:

Sports : engagement in physical activity intended to create a benefit to the participant. Ranging from Amateur to Professional, from incompetent to proficient, for all levels of ability, all nations, all creeds, all genders.

Did some googling and would you believe there is an Yoga Sport Association in Australia to promote the sport of Yoga!

That's all the evidence I need :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha! Well done Sally! You'll have proof for the doubters in your challenge too;)

Some would say proof, others would say I'm pedantic :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha! Possibly - but you still have proof;)

I'm pleased with myself. Today, I won my local club's memorial swimming trophy for 50 metres for the second year in a row. Only one other person - a man- has equaled this. So now, my name will be engraved again...

And here we go again! The latest storm has just hit:(

[L.A.]

We were hit with some severe storms recently too Brenda. Stay safe!

Thanks Lee-anne:) It seems to be all across the country I'm afraid!

I don't remember constant thunderstorms like we've had for the last week to ten days...

[L.A.]

I heard on the news that the storms that hit us here in Brisbane recently were the worst in 40 years. we got flooded and several of our neighbors had trees fallen through their roofs. It was terrible, our street looked like a war zone.

It wasn't much of a storm where I live, in the St Geotge district of Sydney, but it could be coming back. Still very cloudy outside.

I remember seeing it on TV..the storms are extremely violent too. Hope your neighbours are all ok.

Everyone was ok thank goodness :-) we have a lot of families with young children on our street but everyone came together true Australian style to help clean up the mess :-) Hope it doesn't get to bad where you are

[Sally906]

And once again I watch a storm sail past to the south. Everyone in Darwin is hanging out for the rains to come. But they are saying the monsoons won't come before Christmas. :(

Not fair Sally! Wish we could send you some...though our gardens are enjoying it:)

Storm is gone now; a short one this time thank goodness!

[Carolyn]

Storms and very heavy rain again here in Sydney. Our garage has flooded three nights in a row and the garden is very soggy now!
We'd be quite happy for it to all go to Darwin Sally :)

[Leonie]

We had storms approach, and fade, and then reform on the other side of us and then head for Brenda ;-) Just a little rain tonight.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha! You should have kept them Leonie!!

[Leonie]

We're the spot where every storm divides and passes. It's truly bizarre.

Except for the one about ten years ago that dropped cricket ball sized hail...maybe I should be grateful we haven't had a repeat :)

Wow that would have caused some damage!!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

OMG! That's huge!!!

[Leonie]

We found a dent in our colour bond roof the size of a football. Our neighbours had smashed roller shutters, and hail that went through the tiles and straight through the ceiling. It was the loudest storm I've ever been in - mostly due to hail impacts.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Hopefully we don't have any like THAT in the future! It would have been terrifying!

[Neko]

.....holly cow!!
