Chat about whatever you like: the weather, good stuff, bad stuff, family or pets!
Hi Mandy - thanks for your leadership and your help - enjoy 'retiremnt' :-o)
Oh :( That was a big, unpleasant surprise.
But yes, very sensible decision, I guess. Hopefully you still pop in from time to time :) Have fun in 'retirement'

David, gl..."
Wow, Jan, what an awesome challenge!!! To read all of Dickens, from start to finish, would take lots of dedication! Goodluck to you all....Jan let us know how it's going with it, please, I'm very interested in Dickens....:)
That heat is way too high for bushwalking!! I hope you had lots of water with you! lol So sorry that you haven't had much rain...we had 3 inches in just over 24hrs on Friday/Saturday!!!
Why don't you join in Brenda? The Dickens project doesn't start till May 1st. It will probably be spread over a few years.http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/3...

"My family is fortunate enough to have a small weekender in the country. I found out yesterday that 50 cows “broke in” and spent the whole day eating my beloved veggies, daisies and lavender. They also left many sloppy reminders that they had been roaming all over the lawn. I haven’t stopped laughing about it, and as I show people the photos, everyone asks why I’m not more upset? I have an attitude whereby, you cannot control what happens to you, but you can certainly control how you react to it. Whether it’s a delayed flight, traffic gridlock or a herd of cows; you have you ask yourself, “Do I have any control over this situation”? If not, relax and just go with it. There is often a silver lining if you let yourself find it. My beautiful neighbours have spent the day helping restore the garden and have confirmed my belief in kind hearted Australians helping a neighbour in need. I hope that there is a silver lining shining brightly for you."
Beautiful!! :)

Chat about anything Mandy? I'm freezing and its only autumn, there have been too many disasters since December and its frightening, but it made a good poem that I've submitted to a group in NSW, and Anzac Day is coming and I think of my family members that have been involved in hostilities, so I wrote about that too and am reading one of Brendan Cornwall's books of ancient England to stop me from grouching
Jan from Perth wants a poem and so do others so where do I write them? here?
I'm not a writer but I like to create drawings/artwork. And I entered a contest for my vinyl toy from KidRobot.Go to: http://sites.kidrobot.com/munnyworld-...

Do stay in touch, keep reading, relax whenever you can. Take care of yourself while you are busy taking care of others.

Laura are you vegetarian? I am, and so is my daughter Jai. I've bought a few Quorn products but they are eaten before I get to try them (even my non vegetarian daughter likes them so they must be good). Will find the Dippers and try them myself. Thanks for the tip. Actually the check out lady mentioned to me how good the Quorn products were when I bought the first ones.
Brenda wrote: "Yes, they are extremely yum!!! Go to their website http://www.carmanskitchen.com.au/ and sign up for their newsletter. You get free samples and everything.This newsletter has introduced a new produ..."Just signed up. I used to eat Carman's muesli bars but haven't for ages.
Weeheee..the little fella has 14 votes so far :D!!@Brenda- Thank ya!! ^_^
@Maggie- No, I'm not. But I love to eat vegetarian meals whenever possible. Once a week we try to have planned meal that is strickly vegetarian.
This week I'll finally cook my pie that will use Quorn mince and will mix in some lentals most likely..It'll be scrummy.
But yes try them out sometime (if no-one gobbles them up before you get to it..lol) :D!
Mod
Oh, they are so yummy!! You'll find you can get free samples of a lot of stuff too...:)
just to let you all know I have posted my ANZAC tributes in "poetry from a sunburnt country" page.

Hope everything is okay at home and that you get lots of reading time. Best wishes, Jo
Mandy, you're the one who really kicked things off with this group. We are all so indebted to you, it's great to have an Aussie place here on Goodreads...we are a friendly bunch, aren't we? I always feel completely at home the minute I arrive here. And people are awake at the same time! Thanks for inviting me and for making the group what it is. All the best in your caring role.

Mod
Hehehe..I wish/hope. It's sorta old..And the dirrect publishers are the ones selling it for x3 price. And they only had one left in stock so my hopes of other places getting it back in stock are maybe slimmer than normal.*waits and goes to BD*
Mod
AH-HA! I found it. Was only $14.65 (much better than the $35US to $50AU) so I snapped it while I could..It is the 5th book in the series..

David, glad to hear about your poetry book. Congrats!
Tracey, that is just the cutest little dog!
Jessica, you keep us all entertained with your up to the minute tales of sporting and academic success. You should check out a short story writing group that I'm in...The Weekly Short Story Contest and Company! They have a poetry section as well.
Brenda, another group that I'm in (I'm in way too many groups) has a Dickens Project. Starting in May, they are going to slowly read their way through the entire works of Charles Dickens, in the order in which they were written. The group is Readers Review.
Hi to everyone else that I haven't mentioned, hope you are having a good day. We were in a bushwalking event on Saturday and it was 35.7 degrees...way too hot for walking. We've still only had 4mm of rain in the past two months...endless sunshine here.
