Hello Ed, TY for the mallard and PD. I enjoyed my dinner. Re election, the Liberal party got in. No surprises for this area. In the meantime I am gripped by a book, 'Wild Dark Shore', by Charlotte McConaghy. Highly reccommended by the folk in The Monday Morning Coffee Club and muched passed around. Now it is my turn o read it. Set on a small island not far from Antartica. Home to the world's largest seed bank. Now abandoned by the researchers as the sea is rising and may flood the island. A man and his 3 children are the only humans left on the island and then....well I wont tell you more. However I am looking forward to going to bed and continue reading the book. So it is Goodnight from me and have a great day

TY,

Hello Ed, no the cats do not like the rain. Oh and it was Thunder and Lightening this morning! I love that! A few weeks ago I emptied out the LARGE toy basket and am now down to a few much loved toys. I asked my children if I can now get rid of the doll's house however came Shannon told me that Jesse loves it so I guess it stays. Well I was uncertain as I also love it. It is nothing like your wonderful doll houses. If I had one of them I would not consider giving it away! I have packed the boot of my car with toys and things from Mum ready to donate tomorrow. I am outside writing to you as it is not too cold. Loving the sound of the surf! Night is falling and I will soon be inside preparing dinner, which is a frozen Chicken Kiev. Only purchased the other day. My cats are wanting to be inside as well as they want dinner. Laters!

Hello ED, that is wonderful news about Sausage! It has been raining here all day so I have been inside sorting out toys and books for the Oppie! It is also bin night so I will have ro deal with that as well. Enjoy your new day!

Morning splash-- field mouse ty It is a nice sunny start to our day but only 2 so far.They did call for frost last night but it seems to have missed us. No word from the bush yet. I wtch the golf and yes that is a hard course apparently. I didn't watch until the end because I wanted to catch the news but right now  it looks as we have a couple of ours in the mix and once again Sheffler is interesting to watch and  I think the way he can climb the leader board throws a lot of the others off. I hope you can have a nice warm sunny day for the family dinner as it gets a little out of hand if everyone is squashed into the house. By the looks/sounds of things you are going to have simplify your life so nothing gets confusting or upseting for Sandra(the worst of it ithat this is not the world she knows)Keep trying and thats all you can do. Have a good day

splashed-- bee eater ty We are partly sunny but only 4 so far this morning.No more word from the hunters but yesterday they may have taken off and caught up on some sleep.  Glad to hear the 500 piece puzles are a success--to bad there wasn't some 750 piece ones to see if they overwelm her seen as it seems the bigger one cause some trouble. You may have to search for some more charity stores to search in. Have a good day and I hope your sunshine stays.
