WEEKLY CHAT (Non Osprey Topics) SUNDAY FEBRUARY 1st 2015

Great news OG!

CLARE, I hope that LIMPY improves soon.

Thanks, everyone for your news.

OG that is great news. You both must be delighted - enjoy your weekend now.

Yesterday Dau’s cat took refuge from the 2-legged pests – high on top of Dau’s corner china cabinet. I put myself to bed at 9 pm last night. Today is going to be a long day as it’s only 7 am & I’ve been awake since 4.30. OH is busy watering garden early. We are expecting a hot week. Only 39 max today. We have a series of festival in March (known as Mad March here). The first, the Fringe starts next week (in Feb!), followed by Carnevale, Womadelaide, Festival of Arts and sone noist car race. Hotels & eating places are happy to see tourist dollars.

Thanks for letting us know, OG. So pleased that J is safely home and all is fine.

Thanks for support, everybody.  Will try to catch up on replies tomorrow - spent the afternoon making Easter cards - I find card-making is very calming and therapeutic!

OG: Glad you are being productive!!! I bought a birthday card today, an unusual occurrence but I've not made many cards in the last six months, for some reason. We have a glut of birthdays over the next three months, in the family, then hardly any in June & July! I am planning two special cards to make, though, as our Youngest is to celebrate his 10th Anniversary this summer, and some friends are to have their Ruby Anniversary soon.

Dibnlib, Lovely photographs of Benson, I, especially love the second photograph.
I have just enjoyed watching England win the rugby match against Wales.

AQ, I know Margo's cat seems to like the highest piece of furniture to go asleep, sometimes. Love the way your Mad March starts mid February.  Only 39c, that is cool ( not ) LOL. I would be so tired in that heat and that would be without nanny duty etc.  

Dibnib - how handsome Benson is and he looks as if he is enjoying himself.

OG - glad all OK with J.

AQ - seems as though you are preparing for more hot weather. Just been reading about Australia and some of the best places to see in the Daily Telegraph Travel pages, quite interesting. Would love to get over sometime and see some of the places but I don't think that will happen - at least one can dream.

Clare - good luck with your second interview and do hope all goes well.  Sorry to read that Limpy has a bad back. It happens occasionally to OH and he's in agony for a few days. Hope he soon feels a lot better.

Have a great weekend, folks.  Take care.

After my last post I put myself back to bed, slept for 2 hours and now feel almost human.

Lynette - If your dream lands in Adelaide I would love to take you sightseeing.
