Happy Easter to you Brenda, and I second what Dale and Vicki said :)

Oooppps!!! I just realised I ranted and raved about your daughter Brenda. Still it obviously was quite a vicious attack. What do you think got into him? I'm sorry to hear that your foot got infected and that you've had to spend some of your holiday time in hospital. Hope it's all good from here on in and there are no more dramas. :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No idea Elaine, we have tossed it back and forth and can't come up with anything that gives a reason! Do dogs need a reason? lol!

It's much better today, bruising coming out and no sign of the infection now with the swelling also going down:) So I'm considering myself very lucky!

Daughter is extremely embarrassed and apologetic - so much so that I ended up saying "you didn't bite me"!! Just an unfortunate event that is over and done with now:)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Have a lovely Easter break everyone. Eat lots of chocolate and read lots of books:)

It's an unfortunate thing for all of you Brenda and you're absolutely right...sometimes animals just freak out for no apparent reason. Hopefully you can all put it behind you and enjoy your Easter celebrations and the rest of your holiday.

Happy Easter weekend from me as well. We're not going anywhere ourselves - just planning a relaxing weekend. Although my oven really needs a good clean so this may be the weekend to do it. And reading. And eat a bit of chocolate.

Safe travels to all those who are heading off somewhere :)

Thanks Brenda and a Happy Easter to you and all the other wonderful people here on AR. Being Greek Orthodox I don't celebrate Easter till next Sunday, which is so silly really. It's not as though Jesus died twice!!!! Wish they could sort it out.

Totally agree Elaine! You gave me a chuckle too:)

Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter and safe travels....Lots of chocolate and books! :D

Good to know. I recorded it last night and hope to watch it today/tonight.

Elaine, there's a very interesting answer to why the dates of Easter for do not match both churches. read here: http://christianity.about.com/od/faqh...

LOL Any excuse for more books, right, Julie? ;-)

[Vicki]

Good morning, Bette and the EBs!

[Marianne]

Morning Vicki and EBs
I am being slack today, have pharmacy journals to read which is a bit dry so ending up here more than on the treadmill walking and reading....

[Vicki]

Pharmacy journals? Gripping reading with lots of plot twists there, Marianne. :)

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Good Morning ladies :)

[Vicki]

Good Friday morning, Julie. :)

Happy Easter all! Hope you're all enjoying your hot cross buns today!

Happy Easter to you too Carolyn, yes hot cross buns and chocolate eggs :)

[Valerie]

Brrrrr 4 degrees in Melbourne this morning. Definitely has that hot cross bun feel to the day!

Well, I only had to do that for half my walking, now I'm continuing with A Man Called Ove, much more fun.
Unfortunately, one has to keep up with current knowledge and do CE (continuing education), often boring but essential.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Happy Easter all! About to have our morning hot cross buns:)

That is interesting Bette, although still slightly confusing and annoying. Don't think I could explain it to my kids. They and I just came to accept the fact that we often times celebrate Easter at a different time to their friends. On the upside we often get to have two Easters so that's not too bad!!!! :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well! This is turning into the holiday from hell! Some ***** just backed into our car! Luckily it's only the bumper that has been damaged but once we get home we'll more than likely be without a car for a couple of weeks!

Happy Easter!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Oh Brenda what rotten luck!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

It sure is Phrynne! At least the lady was honest and didn't just disappear as some do. She's very upset!!! Oh well...

[Elaine]

Oh no, Brenda!!! Be careful as they do say bad things come in threes. Maybe you should have just stayed in Melbourne? Things seemed to be going smoothly for you here and we would have had your lovely company for a bit longer. Fingers crossed nothing else happens to you. It sounds like you're still keeping your sense of humour though and staying positive. I can sense that even through all the stuff that's happened to you in the last few days. Take care. :)

Pretty sure **** only has four letters, Brenda.

We've decided the 4c temp in Kyneton was the first Elaine, so now we've had 3!!! lol

There were several **** Ryan, all with varying letters;)

Oh no Brenda! And the holiday started off so well. Hopefully that's the end of your bad luck and it will all be great from here on!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Carolyn - have to hope so!!! Fingers and everything else crossed!

Yes that counts I guess so that's a relief.

[Marianne]

Oh, Brenda, how annoying! Still, someone did it to you.
My hubby loves to regale people with the story of "when Marianne crashed the car in Ireland" in his inimitable dramatic way. I backed into a wall, did slight damage to the bumper bar and the car hire place didn't even notice when we returned the car, so all my tears were wasted!!

[Marianne]

Happy Easter weekend to everyone.
Raining here.
Hubby is currently reading The God Delusion. Over lunch, he was telling me quite a few bits & pieces out of it. In the end I said, Look, I do plan to read this book myself so don't give away the ending or I'll be really annoyed.
;) LOL

Oh dear Brenda. You are having a bad run. Glad she didn't just disappear though. A not so happy Easter for you.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I've realized that this event is actually the third - the night before we left home the internet (modem) died (1) dog bite (2) car (3)... not expecting any more!!!

But I'm sort of thinking we should leave SA;) quickly!!! lol

I caught the end of that, Michael. What an excellent little film! I should try and find it so I can watch the rest of it.

Another reason is also because it is yet another holiday stolen from the various pagan god worshippers that were around in the thousands of years before the advent of Christianity.

Those people became the Christians, Kiera. Of course they brought their holidays with them. Christianity didn't appear out of thin air. Jesus himself was Jewish.

I have always wanted to read that book, Marianne.

Brenda! Not expecting this update either!! What a hassle.. Sorry you're having rotten luck. Happy Easter also from us in Sydney.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Suzanne:) And happy Easter to you and yours:)

@Kiera This is just an observation: Your link is interesting 'information' but isn't it simply a forum? None of the 'facts' purported seem to have citations listed.

I'd hate to be an atheist, imagine having nothing to believe in, regarding faith and the afterlife. But I have no wish to starting a religious argument here in GR.

What's wrong with not believing in an afterlife? I believe that this is all That we have, so we must make the most of it while we are here. I take comfort in the fact that we are just a tiny part of a massive, beautiful universe and that we are basically made up of stardust and when we die, we return to the stars as Particles. I would like to give back when I die as well, by being cremated and Put in a bio urn, which you then plant and a tree grows from my remains.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I think it would be best if we have no more discussion about religion please. It's a subject that has many people divided and Aussie Readers is not the place to discuss it. Thanks guys :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

What is everyone doing today? Here in Sydney it is cold and pouring with rain with no sign of ever stopping. So I am going to curl up with a hot cross bun and a good book:)

[Carolyn]

We're away in Bowral. It's wet and a little cool but very atmospheric in the morning with mist and autumn trees. Have visited cafés, bookshops and other interesting shops this morning and are going to the movies this arvo. Haven't had time to read so far!
