Morning



Hi matina you know you and my daughter have similar qualities neither of you suffer fools lightly , but thank you she is wonderful and has a lot on her plate we help where we can ,our house is neutral territory when she needs a breather mwah xo enjoy lunch out wish I was with you fatima my heart melted at Bambi's photo he reminded my of my silky terrier who was 19yrs old when she passed away and yes very cranky towards the end

Pj what type of crystal is that it looks like a giant Easter egg I think of your brother often I hope he's managing ok little bit chilly 4c this morning 16c have a nice Sunday with your visitors the weather is gorgeous even more so in the mountains I bet diva are you well xo hugs always everyone

matina, I never did manage to talk to my brother last night. They have uneven mobile phone coverage in his rural area and he can easily drive somewhere where I can reach him. And if there's a lot of motor noise, he sometimes doesn't hear his phone. Anyhow, his children are looking after him very carefully. Hope you're enjoying a great Saturday.

Katy, 5 degrees and sunny up here. Has got a lot colder since yesterday and is supposed to go down to -1 tonight. Very quiet so far today, and only a couple of walkers passing my house. Yes, that was a big crystal, wasn't it? A holdover from many years ago. I have quite a good collection. Trust that you're enjoying a good weekend with your family.

[matina]

HELLO ALL!
FATIMA BAMBI OS SOOOOO GORGEOUS!!! thank you for posting it.
PJ holly hell batman where did you get that crystal and i hope you didn't lift that to clean it!!!oh i can just picture it all cut and polished up and your place being up so high you could direct air traffic a lighthouse but for planes I love it and i so love the kookaburra he/ she is gorgeous all grown up.

I tell you these days even before any one can breathe a sigh of relief here comes another disaster stress and chaos lord help us all.

Hi all

Matina we love you right back you've saved my cooking skills more than once and for that the family are eternally grateful im sure once you get your provider sorted the rest will fall into place it's getting there that's the problem, love and hugs angel Morning Pj 16c today 2c this morning nice and sunny out I'm hoping this lockdown will be over this week i really need a hairdresser oh well what can we do strange times for sure, so housework today, hubby needs to venture out for necessities mask in hand take care everyone

[pjmpjm]

matina, more icon photos coming. Hope you have a good week, without the past dramas. I'm sure you'll get everything arranged eventually. I just hope it's sooner rather than later. Yes, my right eye seems OK and I can hardly feel it now. 2 different drops 4 times daily. So I'm optimistic.

Katy, up to 6 degrees on my front veranda and quite chilly today. But the sun is shining brilliantly. I think it was down to one or even zero last night. House is nice and warm, though, and the fuzzies are very happy. Yes, let's hope this lockdown ends on Friday. I think I need a haircut too . . .

Bye for now, everyone!

[kathlyn]

Hello everyone


No sign of lockdown ending soon

Morning Pj -2c this morning brrrr, nice day coming up the girls look well ,beautiful and fluffy nice bed warmers so you need a haircut too what about a color cause I could send you one my daughters dropping the essentials (hair colour) over tomorrow matina I do love being home but some days now the weather is so cool and I can get around better , we can't go out and it's fresh cannolli day at the local Cafe he's doing take away so bec is dropping off the necessary supplies later coffees brewed I'm just going to enjoy a cup I the sun hugs always xo love to everyone take care

[pjmpjm]

matina, hope you're OK today. Quiet here and not much happening apart from my usual cockatoo visits. A nice and larger mini SD card just arrived from Amazon, which should help me with my backups. Was surprised to hear my doorbell ring!

Katy, yes, it was supposed to be down to -3 degrees up here last night. About 8 now and quite pleasant, since there's no wind. But I decided against a sit out in the backyard sun. I'm looking quite scruffy but am resigned to waiting until next week, when the lockdown (should) have ended. My barber at Katoomba put his basic haircut prices up to $30 at the beginning of the pandemic but I guess it's worth it. Nice to hear that you can get takeaway at your local cafe. I still get my weekly veggies delivered from Hartley Valley . . . very convenient.



A few days ago I still had a couple of azaelas out on my back patio . . .

[matina]

HELLO ALL!
busy day today and i hate waiting for phone calls i got 2 from sources i wasn't expecting the 2 i am expecting still haven't called and i so need a nana nap. i have kept myself busy with a friends hard drive deleting stuff and checking why they don't work for her but all in all i am now running on empty and want a nap. oh and don't you know it as soon as i get into bed then the phone calls will start.

For your delight and delectation I present a couple of furry faces and you might even get a glimpse of my knobbly knees

Lovely Snoopy, little Jack Russell, excitable and energetic





I don't think this one has been named yet, but she is a right cutie, loves a cuddle and fuss

[matina]

OH MY YES HAVE WOKEN UP AND SPRUNG OUT OF MY SOCKETS FURY FACES!!!!
SNOOPY!!! you have won my heart the unnamed one looks like she needs a lot of tender love and care well a better haircut at least. for just a split moment i thought it may have been PJ but only just for a moment
THANK YOU FATIMA!! (you have no issues with your knees)
I managed to get 15 minutes of shut eye it is enough of a re charge for me.
TIME FOR COFFEE!!!
WOLF OUT!

[pjmpjm]

Fatima! What wonderful puppy pictures! I especially like the one that matina thinks looks like me. (I really do need a haircut.)

matina, glad you had a little nap today. Sounds like you're really worn out. No pictures received yet from my brother's 4th of July celebration. Am hoping to talk to him tonight.

Here are a few older photos of my neighbourhood. Lower one almost shows my house in the distance.

Cold up here today but no wind. Supposed to go down to -2 degrees tonight. Brrrrrrr. Have to get the fire going soon.

Katy, hope you had a good day. Tomorrow we may hear more about our lockdown . . . will wait and see . . .

[kathlyn]

Hi everyone

Aw fatima puppy faces are gorgeous you know matina your right the bottom pup looks a bit like Pj tho I look a bit scruffy myself especially the white patch but hair colour is on the way I just have to get off my butt and do it myself without making a mess Morning Pj another week of lockdown the kids can't go to school you'll hear a collective groan from all the parents who have to try and home school them 16c good stay home weather anyway Yes my hubby gets charged $30 for a haircut but he's hardly got any hair well back to my book with a nice coffee ahhh hugs all

[matina]

MORNING ALL!
If indeed it is morning spent the night checking on some files transferring last night so got intermittent sleep and now still transferring files to a friends hard drive. home day today sent another message to the provider we want still no answer if i haven't heard anything by tonight i will go with option 2 and stuff him. if they are this slack at signing people up i can only imagine how efficient they are at providing services.
time for lunch.
WOLF OUT!

Above is an experimental photo I took at midnight, looking west at the end of my street, about 200 metres from my house. I had to photoshop it a bit, but now it looks like how I saw it last night with my 'naked eyes' (with my two new lenses).

matina, sorry to hear about the ongoing trouble with providers. In the last years of my career, I watched this system being discussed. Yes, you have to wonder what they'd do with real, live people . . . I'm so glad that I'm retired and have minimal paperwork these days . . . Another of my favourite icons for you, below . . .

Katy, yes, before I went to bed I checked both the SMH and the ABC news online, and saw that the news had leaked prior to the 11 am press conference. Sigh. Well, I guess we'll all get through it. But parents with kids who can't go to school? They deserve medals. How do they manage it? Yesterday I drove over to Leura Mall and picked up a few light-weight essential perishable supplies. Tomorrow I'll put in another home delivery order, to spare myself the heavy lifting. I think I have to pop over to the chemist at some point, but otherwise have nowhere to go. My Lithgow friend walked out of his house and up into the mountains behind Lithgow. He sent me a picture and a little GPS 'map' of his 16 km walk.
