Weekly Chat, Sunday 15 May 2011

Well, Good Morning Friends. I guess we carry on until the screen goes blank.

Morning all. I think there must be a rule that no software update goes to plan.

However in our case we do not want this one to overrun as our little chicks are likely to be getting out of their shells. Today is Day 32.

So how are you all going to spend the break?

Tiger - I will catch up on much-needed housework .... Dust Bunnies watch out!! There won't be time after hatching :-))

The black hole's not so black this morning, Mother!  

Jay-Me - A furphy is Aussie slang for a rumour, or an erroneous or improbable story.
The word is derived from water carts made by a company established by John Furphy of J Furphy & Sons of Shepparton in Victoria. Many Furphy water carts were used to take water to Aussie army people during World War I. The carts, with "J. Furphy & Sons" written on their tanks, became popular as gathering places where soldiers could exchange gossip & rumours.

Whoa!  We're still here..... I was only being nosey, looking in on here...

Thanks to AQ for the definition of a furphy- that's a new one to me.

Here is a Sunny Pic to brighten up your day - a Tree Peony in our garden:

--  see you on the 'other side'  !!  Have a Good couple of Days!

I will still be watching the nest on and off. Don't want to miss any hatching. Looking in on other nests and ,yes, doing the HW. No rain forecast, so will be going out. I can't remember when we last had rain and we desperateltly need some.

Hi Brenda - you can have some of ours!  - we want it to stop, now!

Tiger: This week I am going to my ex-colleagues group Christmas Lunch postponed from last year due to the big freeze!

Hello everyone.  What's going on?  I thought I ought just to check before I head off to the chiropractor, hopefully for the penultimate time, to find we are still here and still chatting!!  I hope the techies get on with it sooner rather than later if they are going to do the upgrade.  We need to be on air, chatting, observing, getting eggcited all together on Friday!!  Take care.  I'll check in again when I get back...
