I know what you mean...sometimes the warmth will just lull you to sleep;)

Rita hope you had/have a good break :)My holiday is officially over on Sunday...Then we just have term 4 to go! Still feels strange having 4 terms instead of 3. No doubts it'll go mad quickly though.
Thanks all for the well wishes :D
We've had four terms for years now. You will soon get used to it and will be counting down the weeks until the next break. I loved school holidays. No getting the kids up, no making lunches.
sorry guys. I have been neglecting this group again. Currently. I find myself in battle with my anxiety again. it hasn't left a lot of time for reading and goodreads. I am frustrated.

Take care of yourself Melissa:) Our thoughts are with you...

I hope so too, Carolyn. It is incredibly exhausting.
Apparently today I am feeling like feeling very sorry for myself.

It has been good! Brought B1 and B2 to the Goldie. Weather has been a little too warm for my Tasmanian skin though ;)
@laura -..."
Yes starting to be very warm up there (and here) now!! Glad you've had a good break though:)

Have a fabulous time. Clouds do look the same but there is something special about looking down on a cloud instead of up at a cloud!
Don't forget the comfy slippers Jool..."

She didn't want to go with the nice young boy, she was shaking and I was a basket case afterwards!!! This is her first time away from home. I know she will be looked after but I will still miss her like crazy. At least she has her "cousin" to keep her company.
Well, that's me folks, off to bed now ready for a 5am start! Catch you all later ;) I will still read the posts but not sure if I will be posting while away. :D
@Melissa Hope you're getting some help with it; thinking of you.@Julie Have the bestest ever:D
@Laura Maybe I should try that with my two cats, one hates the other terribly. We used to put the dogs in kennels, but now I get a house-sitter (either my niece or someone else very trusted) so the pets routine is not upset.
Yesterday Mo and I were out walking and I saw two plovers, digging in someone's lawn. Thought instantly of the 'plover' sufferer in AR and all our suggestions. It made me smile.

Have a great trip Julie and try not to worry about your little girl. She looks like such a sweet little dog so she'll have the kennel staff wrapped around her little finger (er, paw) in no time :)
I realize Thanksgiving isn't much of a thing in Australia. Nevertheless, happy Canadian turkey day :)

They have a face book page and each week they take photo's of their current guests and post - is lovely when I'm away to check the page and see Hunter's happy face staring at me down the camera lens.
They also do an extra service where you can 'skype' your dog (or cat) at their exercise time - so you can watch it running around and talk to it. I personally think this is way over the top - but the kennels make quite a lot of money out of this service!!!

Will have to suggest it to my sister for her cat, LOL!!
just eating a blueberry bagel n i got a sun dried tomato in it.......
Hi all, arrived at our beautiful hotel now safe n' sound though very tired after a lot of travelling. Nice shower and a reasonably early night for us all and a lie in tomorrow. We will discuss what to do over a leisurely brekky in the morn ;DBtw, they do offer the skype service but I wouldn't want to distress her more by talking to her without her understanding what's going on. So we will trust to their care...
I know you hey will b well looked after.
Nigh night! :)
Sounds like a good start to the holiday Jools. Have a great time!

Passing time here till my 10am dental appt to get my first tooth veneer. I'm just a tad nervous, taking my ipod in case the noise bothers me.
Anything connected to a dentist makes me nervous!!!!!Do you know that dentists are the professional group that suffers from the most suicides? They think it is because of the relentless day after day of clients that fear/hate them.

Hi fellow AR. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'm sure Brenda will set me straight if it's not. I just wanted to share with you a Book Fair that's taking place here in Melbourne this Saturday. It's for a good cause and I know it will appeal to all the bookworms living in Melbourne...well anywhere really but this event is in Melbourne.Here's the link for anyone that might be interested. Might even meet some fellow Victorian AR there. :)

I watched Australian Story on ABC last night featuring one of my favourite singers Jenny Morris. I thought it was incredibly brave of her to talk openly about her condition known as SPASMODIC DYSPHONIA that ended her career. I've suffered from the same condition for years. Fortunately I'm a writer and not a singer. What she has done with her life since is inspiring.
Mod
Thanks Elaine:) It's fine here but might get lost in the posts. If you'd like to post again (don't delete this one) in the Victorian thread that might get seen a little more:) I'd be there in a heartbeat if we were down there;)
Mod
I haven't heard of that condition Vivian...it certainly is great that she's raising awareness of it though..

Nothing better than browsing through lots of books with a fellow book lover. I didn't realise there was a Victorian page. I'll post it there too. Thanks again. :)

You always seem to have very eventful adventures when you go away. :)

LOL! Old, run down, tired, in need of maintenance, dirty.... the pictures I booked it from didn't do it justice;)

I have spent the good part of the day reading but I didn't outside..I thought it may put me to sleep even though it was fantastically warm w/blue skies!
