Hi All:
jsb: At the end of the previous Weekly Chat are two responses to your posting about the birds with French accents. One is from me and not especially profound. The other is from Diane, and reads as follows : Lovely article. I always have two pairs of house wrens (known as jenny wrens here) who return about the same time in the spring. Even though both females are house wrens, I can always tell which bird is singing, no matter where they are. I don't know whether the slight difference is because they winter in different regions or because individual wrens have distinct sounds. I always put up houses for them, but, this year, one pair decided that it would be more fun to nest in the nook above my propane gas tank, where the dials and controls are. So I had to fiercely guard the nest from the gas company employees who periodically check the gas levels. The gas company guys think I'm looney but they didn't dare to defy me and bother the wrens!
Everyone: AQ posted this one: Adelaide 10.50 am 12 C. Pumpkin soup for lunch thanks to friend giving me 2 large butternuts. Today is the Bay to Birdwood Classic for cars 1956-1977. Once upon a time they left from Glenelg (the Bay), but lack of space means they now leave from West Beach (2 km north). They travel about 70 km (44 miles) to Birdwood in the Adelaide Hills where there is a Motor Museum. Next year is the run for the Vintage cars (pre-1956). A picnic day. A bit chilly today but not as chilly as Wattle's.
And Teresa had this tip: If you delete something by mistake it is worth holding the Ctrl key down and clicking on Z. In lots of instances it undoes your last action - not always though but still worth a try.
AQ and Teresa: Hope it was okay to copy and paste your comments on this page - didn't want anyone to miss them.

Cirrus: If you're talking about the XXXs; over here, XXXs are kisses and 000s are hugs. (I think I got that right.....)
Annette, Cirrus means the yellow stars that have been filled in under the senders names further up the page.
Hi Annette
They sell them now and the company I brought from is this

If you google "all region DVD players" there are quiet a few hits and companies selling them
Happy hunting and if you need a hand let me know, I love shopping for "boy toys"!! LOL
You may like to look at Highland McHale's photos of robins and owls on the Forums Community page. I am sure you will like them.

Brenda: Well, fat lot I know!! Thanks. So to repeat Cirrus's question: Wots wiv all the stars?
Adelaide Tues 12.30 pm. I've been dipping in to read posts. Spring headache so not feeling the greatest. Yesterday 23 C, today 25 so far. Where is the promised rain to settle the pollen? Enough moaning.
george g. That Yellowstone series is here, well #3 next Sunday. Months of delay before we get programs from overseas - they must send them on a slow boat . . . I am enjoying Yellowstone as mostly we get African (especially Serengeti & Okavango).
Caerann. "Let go for morale purposes". Huh, what jargon they use. Back in the old days one's loyalty counted. Now one shows versatility if one has multiple job changes. Good luck. You never know what is going to turn up.
Annette. All those books. Wonderful. But how many have you/he read? I must admit I stay out of bookshops as much as possible, using local libraries very very often. But I have a weakness for second-hand book shops and library book sales (when they sell their culled books).
Many thanks, Aquilareen! I hope your headache goes away quickly. =O)
Annette: Why did you have a star and then didn't again? Hm, strange..........
By the way, since this is a Scotland based forum I have an off the wall question. I was wondering if anyone else besides me was a Bay City Rollers fan? My favorite was Eric Faulkner and I had photos and posters plastered all over my room because I loved, loved, loved the BCR! =O)
