Oh dear Marianne! Definite dramas in your household! Poor DH! Hope he doesn't need to vomit on a regular basis;)

[Marianne]

Thanks, we too hope that. The sooner this ablation happens, the better!

[Carolyn]

Hope your DH doesn't have to wait too long for the surgery Marianne. Sounds like he does need to have it sooner rather than later.

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Oh Marianne!!, lets hope he doesn't have to wait any longer and you can both settle down again asap. Many thoughts and blessings being sent your way.

Think I'll pass on the fudge Rita. I'm not much of a sweet tooth.

That is funny! (I'm a physio, so my perspective on medical stuff is automatically ghoulish and warped...)

Let's hope the ablation's soon, though.

[Suz]

Marianne I was wondering about DH. Now I have to say, short stories may be for you ;) He's lucky he's got an organised half with you it sounds!

[Suz]

I'm in the process of trying to maintain some kind of organisation/order to my sad IKEA cube system that's my only book case. Too hard! I almost took photos of the 'behind' piles. That's just stoopid!!!! But I'm also procrastinating and typing here so, we shall see ;)

In the meantime keep the makings of a salad roll in the fridge at all times ;)

Just can't resist showing you my photo of a rainbow being "blown away" in our recent high winds:

Wow that's awesome Tui!!! What an amazing sight...

[Tui]

I'd also like to warn you never to trust photographs taken by me. :)

It is so lovely to read through a thread where people are being nice to one another. I've been recently involved in one of the Amazon threads where one or two trolls mess it up for all the others. They think they are being "interestingly provocative" but it's really just annoyingly argumentative and sometimes quite vicious. This thread has a lovely feel, just from my quick scan.

Always nice and friendly here Tui :) that's amazing, with the rainbow! I have never seen anything like that before.

LOL! Did you "fiddle" it Tui?? You shouldn't have said - it's gorgeous:)

And we don't believe in being horrible to one another - we are predominantly Aussie and we Aussies are a friendly bunch;)

Thanks for showing us. It is lovely and so unusual to see a rainbow like that. And yes, this is a lovely group.

Hi Tui :)

[Regina]

My internet has been down since Friday morning. I am not even going to try and catch up! Clean slate.

Was wondering where you had got to, glad you have it back online :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Have you put your name down for our Readathon next weekend Regina? You may have missed our reminders while you were MIA.:)

[Dale]

Welcome back Regina.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I am really excited to be heading into Sydney tomorrow to meet up with some of our very regular Aussie Readers - Marianne, Julie and Suzanne! What fun we'll have;) A little sad that Carolyn and Phrynne couldn't make it (work erk!) but hopefully another time!

Not so thrilled about the 2.5hour train trip both ways, but at least I'll get LOTS of reading done;)

[Dale]

Sounds like fun. Wish I could join you. Have a great time ladies.

I'm really sorry I can't join in the book swap tomorrow but I'm sure you'll all have a great day. Hopefully next time I'll be able to make it :)

You weren't tempted to bring your hubby and stay O/N to see Vivid Brenda?

We did think about it Carolyn but have other things on on Thursday...another time hopefully :)

Looking forward to it Brenda, hope your train is warm? Bring a mug of hot chocolate or coffee. And yes, all that uninterrupted reading time! Sorry you couldn't have stayed in Sydney and made an event of it...we could have rescheduled.
Any rate we will have to do it again in the future to catch up with the others ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yes we most certainly will Jools:)

[Tui]

Just after posting here, my long absent 31 yr old much-loved son phoned and we met up on the coast near here at Raglan. We stood on the beach together looking out towards Australia across the Tasman sea and watched a spectacular thunderstorm develop and approach. He insisted on flying his kiteboard in the face of the approaching storm. I was petrified but he survived. That's why I suddenly disappeared again from the thread. I had vamoosed to Raglan to be with him.

And yes, Julie is right - the photo is manipulated - that's why I warned you never to trust an image from me. It was really shot on a still day. I put fake wind into the trees and half-swept the rainbow away, using photoshop warp tools. It was fun to do.

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Lovely that your son has been reunited with you Tui! :)

It still looks stunning all the same Tui!! And wow, what an experience for your son albeit terrifying for you! Lovely to see him again for you too:)

For those of you in Adelaide, there is a book sale at the Norwood Town Hall from 9am till 5pm each day of the long weekend. Reputedly there are over 10 000 books, with some as inexpensive as $2.00. Apparently a wide range of books available. Saw details in my 'Weekend' email.
Cheers
