Hi Lynnie and Ray

You must have arrived over there by now and you must be so excited!!! It is still cold here though not as bad and it is the weekend. Last night my choir did a performance at All Hallows Chapel which went quite well.

Take care and have an absolute ball!

Love, Liz xoxo

Sounds like a great start!
Nothing much is happening here. Still no rain and still cold mornings! Can't last much longer. Days are lovely though.
Does that car need a looong extension cord??

Have Fun
Pat & Ineke.

A very loud, unattractive, hard-faced woman walks into Kmart with her two kids in tow, screaming obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.

The door greeter says, 'Good morning and welcome to Kmart, nice children you've got there. Are they twins?'

The fat ugly woman stops screaming long enough to snarl: 'Of course they bloody aren't! The oldest is nine and the youngest is seven. Why the hell would you think they're twins?..... Do you really think they look alike, you idiot?'

'Absolutely not,' replies the greeter, 'I just can't believe anyone would make love to you twice!'

Lyn, you have missed an interesting cyber debate on missing spoons and fetishim in the product design and development office!

Love to you both

I'm off on Holiday tomorrow YAHOO!

I starting renovating the toilet but I think it will be Hubby to the rescue as I’ve suffered operator error and wasted a good 4 days, two hours were spent wandering how to get the door handle off the toilet door and in the end I swallowed my proud and rang my Son who had it off in 2 seconds, I was so embarrassed.

Never mind we should have the door back on in a few days until then we suffer.

For the next two weeks I will clean, sand and paint, so while you are enjoying the California wine the new scenery, the new cultures, spare a thought for those you have left behind and have a drink or two for me.

Enjoy the experience.

Love to you both

Trudi

Hi Lyn and Ray
A very informative and entertaining bulletin, thank you. Brings a little bit of calm to life over here (the sort of leisurely feel of being a tourist). The STEP enrolments went live yesterday and while it is going very well, there were a few little hassles!
Heloise is turning 21 next Tuesday and the birthday party is the following Saturday - I don't think I am organised at all.

Lots of love and keep on having a ball!
Liz and friends xoxox

Hi to the travellers

Bet you are still having an amazing time!! Am so wishing I was there with flowers in my hair.

SBIT goes on its merry, misguided (lol?) way. Our PI budget got pruned back (again). Amanda is doing excellently with STEP!!! Product Design did team planning! I have got to go and work in seventh heaven on a project!!! Paul (I.B.) wants to set up the Maginot Line again. Change Agents are doing p.d. on Friday.

More importantly, staff club drinks on Friday night and my choir sang in Toowoomba last weekend. Spring is here and the weather is beautiful.

Take care of yourselves and looking forward to hearing more anon, Have you seen Phil yet?

love, Liz xoxxo
