Yay! Certainly a very nice May day for you and your fortunate hubby. Great news Marianne.

Maybe he just likes coming to see you at work?

So would it be non-surgical or surgical ablation?

Hope all goes well and settles down for Mr Marianne. ..."


Yes, I suspected this myself, Leonie.....

@ Michael, I think surgical but not sure and hubby's still asleep...... I do know someone very good, a Professor in Sydney will map his heart for this. "Mapping your heart" there's a book title with potential.

@ Bette, Mr Marianne, LOL, will have to tell him that!

Thanks all for the good wishes.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9989 comments This morning my treadmill stopped so no TReading for me (needs a new belt, I think), got a walk in this morning but it rained on me a bit, and now it is raining almost non stop, so cabin fever will set in and I can't even relieve it by TReading. Will have to console myself with thoughts of all my bargains scored this morning and book club tomorrow.
I hope those of you affected by earlier flooding aren't getting this rain....

Bad luck Marianne - you must be working it too hard;) Yes we are getting all the jolly rain! It's pouring - no wind or storms, just really heavy rain on sodden ground and grounds that still have water on them because there's nowhere to go!

Glad your DH is home Marianne. Hope it is all good news from here on in. ..."


You know, Dale, all this time when you referred to your own DH I thought he must be named David or Donald or Derek or some such name. Only now does the penny drop..... doh!

Oh no Marianne! Hope you can get it fixed. No one wants to go out in this weather unless they have to. Besides it's hard to read while walking in the rain!

Maybe, Brenda, will ask my trusty repairman, who will do us right as hubby taught him to ride....

Actually darling or dear husband Marianne.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9989 comments Thanks, Dale, I figured that out when you referred to my DH. But until then, I thought, hey look at that, they both have the same initials....

K | 1143 comments This afternoon, I went to my very first High Tea at Baccus @ Southbank in Brissy with two of my workmates. Oh gosh, it was fabulously posh! I highly recommend it, if any of you ladies (and blokes) are up this way at any time. :)

Sally906 | 89 comments SO interested - I have earmarked Prince George for my granddaughter little miss Lily - now we have a little princess which my two grandsons, Ethan and James, are going to have to fight each other over ;)

I am an ardent royal lover and staunch republican and find no conflict in that -lol!

Oh gosh, I'm really impressed! French Maitre de (can't spell that at all. Lol)who was completely extroverted and the perfect waiter, fine bone china, fancy-flavoured teas and gorgeous little French patisseries. I totally want to go again!

I absolutely love the British Royals. I think they are fascinating- not just the current ones. My favourite dynasties are the Plantagenets and the Tudors. So crazy, yet so interesting! I just came back from the movies and missed all the goss. So she had a healthy princess, then, did she?

I think it is a lovely change of pace from the usual morbid news story. I love hearing about the new royal baby :)
