Back in Wales

Hi All
Greetings once again from a not so sunny South Wales. Arrived back pretty much on time, about 11pm local time. Have now had a night's sleep, after a beer with my husband to celebrate my return. The mail has been sorted, I have spoken to the olds and now have to tackle the unpacking. Not raining so it's not all bad. New Year's Day weather is looking good so we will take a walk, probably on Gower. Up to the Gwyn tonight to catch up with everyone and see in the New Year. Happy New Year to you all. Let's get the whole family on to the blog in the New Year! Julian sends his greetings also. He's very pleased to have me home. He says the house is too quiet without my "bollockings". Love and hugs, Moo xxxxxx

Happy New Year everybody. Love Annie,Steve, Lucy and Clare.

Hi Everybody, sorry it's taken me so long to say hi. I am a techno wally and couldn't get in so had to reset my password. You all have hard by now about our excitement on christmas night when we got home. Still can't believe the house didn't burn down. but we will get a new stove, new floor new pots (my favourite frypan is a little messy!) and a new paint job on the ceiling, and proboably the carpets cleaned. There are also marks on a lot of our knives, pots and utensils if these can't get claeaned will probably be replaced as well. Just have to learn to cook wothout and stove and hotplates for a few weeks. Luckily we have bought a new barbeque so will be doing alot of al fresco cooking. Sayonara Moo have a safe trip back. been great to see you and catch up. Love Annie

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!

Christmas Greetings

Hi All & Merry Christmas. Hope Santa is generous to everyone!
Kev & I are going into the city tonight to see the Christmas lights. Thought I should do something in line with the season as I am here. Only 5 more sleeps until I return to the cold!
Love to all
Moo xxxxx

Hi All
Congratulations Claire on getting the job you wanted. That's great news. Sorry to hear about Lucy, Marty. Hope she will be OK.
Just wanted to let you all know that Jules got home safely. I have just had a call from him. Didn't speak to him for long because his nephew was dragging him off to the pub! Will speak to him again when I return from Bathurst on Sunday.
Take care all.
Love Moo xxxx

Update good and not so good

Hi everyone
Good news today in that Claire has got a job with Darwin City library, Casuarina. handy because I'll be at Casuarina Senior College.

Bad news is Lucy has a tumor in her foot and probably will lose a leg though she wouldn't even know she was sick. We go to the vet tomorrow to have the bandage replaced and to canvas options.

Annie I'll get around to putting the girls on the blog soon.

It sounds like you have had a wonderful time together........Photos???

I was given a great send off at school last Friday. The boss even shed a bit of a tear. i have a copy of the speech she wrote........Think she might have mixed me up with someone else.

Have been a bit slack at looking at the blog lately after hassling you guys.

Moo enjoy the rest of your stay.

Cheers
Marty

Hi all.
Haven't posted for a while so just wanted to say "hi".
Took Jules to the airport this a.m. Derek"s funeral is on Friday morning so he will be home for it. I'm off to Bathurst on Friday for a couple of days. Had dinner with Jane & Kit and Paul & Karen (Tynan) on Monday evening. Only 10 more days of Aussie sunshine? left for me now.
Three sisters rule in Trivial Pursuit! xxxxxxxxxxxxx

great weekend

Thanks everyone for a wonderful weekend at Cunj. Great game of trivial pursuit yesterday. I will put my recipe for hamburgers on the blog at some time in the future, probably after this week when I am finally on holidays and will have some spare time. We arrived home at 5.20pm three hours drive. Not bad. Will talk to you all soon. Marty, hope everything is going alright with the move.

sad news

Today we had the sad news of Julian's brother Derrick's death. Julian will fly back for his funeral.We don't know the date yet but we're hoping it is not until the middle of next week so that Julian will still be with us at Cunjurong.

cunjurong here we come.

Great picture, Marty. Looking forward to this weekend down the coast. Have 24 hamburgers frozen, in the back freezer. Hope I remember to take them. See you all soon.

Result: 1 big flatty 5 whiting which Kate, Annie and Moo will cook for dinner tonight.

Hi everyon

Hello

Hello everyone
I hope you all get to have a play with this while Marty is down. It is an excellent format for quick conversations and the odd photo to share.
I'm off to work this morning, lots of mundane "library" chores to attend to before I leave ( if that ever happens!)
Have a glorious time together; thank-you again for the offer to join you. It is still a thought in progress!
Love Claire
p.s. no photo of a motorbike, aren't you proud of me :)
