Talk about early birds - today I'm a late bird!! Although if I hang around for another 4 hours or so I might catch Bette!It's been a busy day and although I've checked GR, I haven't had time to comment, so happy birthday for yesterday, Marianne! Sounds like you had a special day!
And good luck in your job search, Laura. Hope something suitable comes your way soon!
Good morning Earlies:)I actually slept in yesterday till 5.51am! Ruined my whole day as I felt I was constantly in catch up mode!
LOL, Morning, Bette!I have to go walk, another work day for me...
Yesterday was sunny here but windy. My nose ran all day; last time I saw it, it had turned right at the highway and was headed for Melbourne.
Thanks for the wishes guys :) I'm trying to keep busy like more walking n believe it or not i managed to get sunburnt on the beach...felt strange from having winter snow last week to getting sunburnt this week! Heh! ^^;;

So nice you got to meet Vicki, I've loved all her books and she seems such a clever IT lady too lol. It's nice to meet fellow AR's isn't it?
Has anyone had any luck with finding books in this group https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...From the group 'What's The Name of That Book?' I'm curious as the memories I have of the book are very slim, but you never know I guess!

:) it's not even important as there's no drought around here that's for sure!
Watching the news on Tele, looks like another leadership spill is on the cards. PM has just made a verrrrry short appearance to respond to same.
Oh I keep forgetting to tell everyone - I've gotten my non reading friend to read! Firstly she read Big Little Lies, I thought that it was a safe bet as she and I have school age kids, think the gossiping mums are nuts etc, now she's reading The Husband's Secret. Next I've given her The Rosie Project. Then I guess it's up to her. We spoke about books for half an hour the other day, and I was pulling books off my shelf left right and centre. Fun!

I must admit that I think I give people an odd look when they tell me they don't read....

This is such a great story Brenda, thanks for telling us!!!
I'm watching a movie called 'Fury'. Oh my goodness. Brad Pitt, Shia Labouf and more.
I still want to see Fury. Looked like pretty okay WW2 action movie.

Yes, I've used that group and received a correct answer within two days. It rescued me from many nights spent wondering 'what is that book????'
Mod
I saw that one at the cinema. It was pretty good. Very gory in parts. I still have a very vivid mental impression of a body (dead of course) being mashed into the mud under the tank tracks.

It was wonderful to finally meet you, Sharon, and put a face to a name. Proof that I hadn't inadvertently wandered into the midst of a group of speed reading robots calling themselves Aussie Readers. :)
The funniest bit for me was Gypsy's reaction to seeing cattle for the first time. I thought she was going to combust with excitement. How she missed seeing the hare, I'll never know.
Brenda wrote: "That's fantastic Sharon! So glad you had a great time with Vicki and Alan:)"Looking forward to seeing you in March, Brenda. Make sure you come with a good appetite -- as Sharon can testify, Alan usually cooks enough for a small army. :)

Brenda wrote: "Well done Suzanne!!"I second that. :)

Oh wow... I love stories like this.

Aww sounds like a great day!!!

That's what it says in her title. :D"
Yes, I'd read that somewhere..
woo hoo!! picked up my new Honda Jazz this morning. Been to Mum's and to Aldi, backed into my spot in the garage (bells & whistles on the reversing camera going berserk) successfully. Now I need to read the thick manual to work out how to set the air con so I don't freeze and how to preset the radio and +++ other things. Did connect the mobile phone via blue tooth though.... not that I ever used to talk on the phone while driving before.
Wahoo! No stopping you now, Marianne. :)

Having recently purchased a new car I know the feeling. Joyful but scary at the same time. I've had mine for 5 months and still don't know what half the buttons and bits do!!! And I still park it a mile away when I'm at work so it doesn't get damaged. Enjoy!!! :)
Mod
Well done! I've been wondering how you were going with it:) It's very exciting isn't it!!
Mod
LOL! Enjoy yours too Elaine:) Didn't know you had a new car - what sort is yours?
Mine's a Hyundai i30 Trophy. I was driving a Hyundai Getz but then my daughter got her licence so gave that to her and was lucky enough to upgrade.

The salesman was about 12 yrs old and it was his first sale, LOL
Well, you probably made his day Marianne.
Marianne wrote: "The salesman was about 12 yrs old and it was his first sale, LOL"I so agree. We've been tiptoeing around the process of buying a new car.
Our little Suzuki swift is 12 years old and though she has served us well she is starting to make potentially expensive noises :)
Yesterday we were at a car yard and this little muppet came out and started to try and sell us the car we were looking at. I am sure he was still wearing nappies there was no way he was old enough to be working!!
Hubby implied that maybe I was getting older - Pfffff was my answer - LOL!
