We just had a knock on the door and my son answered and said its Pizza. He then called out upstairs for his brother ( my kids often order Pizza for themselves) I said just take it, is it paid for. The guy said yes. I then took the pizza upstairs knocked on the door and said here's your pizza. He said, I didn't order pizza. My other son had to rush out and stop the guy before he drove off.

Wow that's odd! That pizza guy is lucky! He would have been in trouble when the other customer complained about not receiving their dinner!!

I think that might be our pizza Veronica, we ordered it last friday night!! 3.5 hrs later they decided to send us a replacement!

Oh my goodness, you wouldn't want it by then!

Arrived in Surfers Paradise early afternoon and the weather is glorious! Hot in fact! Our accommodation is wonderful - I'll post some pics when I can but we are on the 6th floor overlooking the river with magnificent views all around:D

The weather is a lot warmer than last week! I was in Tshirt and shorts at times today! I've just waved at you in the general direction of the Gold Coast, Brenda!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Waving back Kathryn:D

Sorry, did my post get removed?

Hi everyone. Had a busy day today. But the best bit was going off to the cinema to watch an Andre Rieu concert on the big screen.

We've been fans for years.

Our youngest daughter bought us the tickets and even bought a large diet coke and popcorn for us to share.

Didn't finish until almost 5pm so we went and had dinner after.

Did NO housework today so will be busy tomorrow - but I can live with that!

I'm a fan too. It sounds like a fun afternoon. Were there people dancing in the aisles like at his live shows?

Counting down:) It is featured in today's newspaper and the actor looks just like my mental image of Harry. Hubby says no, he thought Harry was fatter. Fatter????

Fatter????

Lol Phrynne, I think husbands have very different ideas about our what our mental images should look like! Take Jamie for instance (Outlander) not what my husband expected...but everything I expected, and then some! :p ...of course I said I thought he would be fatter!! ;)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Lol Julie!!!

No - too many steps - but was clapping and singing :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Love him too Sally! We saw him live a few years ago....unbelievably awesome!


No balcony Suzanne but great views and sunshine from the windows:)

Thanks Marianne - glad the weather has improved down south too:) (I'm in a singlet top and still hot;))

No need to skite. ;-)

Good to hear that your holiday is ticking all the right boxes, Brenda. Enjoy!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Vicki! Most certainly boxes ticked here;)

[Marianne]

Wow, blowing a real gale here today. Thought I'd better go and rescue Mum's washing before it either wrapped itself around my line or escaped into the yard. Luckily, there was only one escape.... and at least it was all dry!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Hope it's not too nasty Marianne! There's a slight ripple on the water here, but a beautiful sunny day:)

[Sally906]

Happy Monday all. Glad to be back at work - the humidity has gone back up - we actually put the air conditioner on yesterday!! Still cool at night though so that's good.

I managed to bite my tongue last night - gave it a good chomp on the side - drew blood!! Don't ask - other than eating sweet and sour fish I can think of no reason why I did it!!! Very sore today - am eating my morning toast very, very carefully!

[Neko]

We had pretty horrible weather last night...Mt was covered in snow so brought in a nice chill to the air..argh! I need to head off to work now so hoping there is less snow but won't see until i drive a bit..boo..lol

[Neko]

Sorry to hear Sally - it is incredibly painful when you do that:( I've also done it before!

[Sally906]

I have found that not talking helps to.

Not going to happen I'm afraid - I can no more not talk than I can command myself to not breath!!!

Oww! That, and paper cuts, so tiny but so painful. I do believe the Vegemite suggestion works, I've heard it somewhere before.....

SO jealous!!! Is 21.7 here - didn't even drop below 20 overnight. Humidity is up again as well :(

[Carolyn]

I agree Sally. I hate humidity. Think I'd rather have it cold and nippy like today (although we could do without the icy wind that Jools mentioned!)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

13c here but there's a little nip in the air! Definitely much nicer than home though:) Hope it warms up a little down there for you all...

Yes I agree with you both - I'm dreading summer after what we endured last summer:(

Been pretty absent lately. Haven't even really been reading very much.

Noticed you hadn't been around Liam! Welcome back:)

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

I have been working a ton. I'm apparently the only casual available all week - why even be a casual staff if you're unavailable 4 days of the week??

So yeah I've been picking up a metric shedload of work.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

They should put you on permanent if you're working that many hours:) Plenty of money to buy books though!!

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

Shhhh I'm trying to cut down on my book purchasing. It's very difficult.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

LOL! It's very nearly impossible! Good luck with that;)

This not putting staff on permanent is happening a lot throughout government departments (me included - School). It is so annoying.It means they can get rid of you quicker.

Unfortunately, yeah. My favourite library is getting an expansion next year, nearly twice the size, so they'll have a couple of PPT jobs for that. Gonna fling myself at it like nothing else so hopefully I come up with a permanent job out of that :/ I'm their favourite casual so hopefully that swings it for me :P
