I loved Melbourne when we visited - look forward to your posts.
Thank you Nfk for your encouraging comment. smile
Very interested in your ref. to your Melbourne visit, but you didn't say when.
If it was last month you wouldn't see much difference today; we came here in 1971 and Wow!
Just like England, probably, but it's now overfull with people and cars.
Back then we could take a very relaxing Sunday drive up into the Dandenong Ranges, which may remember, and have a very pleasant "Devonshire Tea" at one of the many restaurants,
But now it's a case of joining the Sunday rush hour traffic and being scared of running up the back of the car in front or more likely being shunted. sad
Your favourite tourist spots are still there; baby penguins at Phillip Island , Sovereign Hill, etc, but getting harder to get to, something akin to all those lovely idyllic Cornish harbour villages. Very nice when you're there.
Anyway, next time you're Down Under drop us a line prior and pop in for a "comfort stop", You'll be very welcome. smile

Good Health and more Cheers wine wine

^Rufus, now I'm confused! ?
If it's already Wednesday where you are, why are you not posting on the *Good morning, Wednesday thread^

Marydoll; I honestly don't know! Now I'm also confused. confused Don't know whether I'm coming or going, Arthur or Martha! sad

Don't despair! I'm working out a cunning plan which might just work. All will be revealed shortly, I hope!
BTW it's nearly tea-time here on Thursday, 13C, feels like 3. sad
Blow it! I think I'll down to the pub for fish and chips with Son No.1 whose down here from Brisbane on business and who can't wait to get back home where it's 25C
It'll save on the cooking and washing-up .
Might as well live-it-up whilst I can still remember where the pub is. wink

I’ve just posted on Mick’s Good Morning Wednesday and already you’re looking forward to your tea! You’ll have to post on his Good Mornings as a Good Evening then! It was light here this morning at 3.30am as we head for the longest day. I loved Melbourne when we visited - look forward to your posts.

AARGH! Don’t confuse me!

Don't worry about that Nfk! Just stand on your head and all about the Southern Hemisphere will be revealed. grin It's quite easy really. Just remember we are 9 hours ahead!
MawBroon; it's already Wednesday here!; not far to the shortest day. Then Spring. Lovely Jubbly.! smile
Weather in Melbourne cool, showery; 15C feels like 5. sad
BTW; Didn't realise there would be so many retired TV weather presenters in the cafe! smile
Interesting "snapshots" and reminders of all those warm summer holidays we had in England. wink
Good Health

Isn’t it Monday yet in Oz Rufus?

Rufus2 Mon 11-Jun-18 03:32:10

G'Day Mick;
Don't know you, yet, but I'm Rufus2 OAP, OBE, living in OZ and celebrating our long week-end Public Holiday in honour of our Queen's Official Birthday.
How's that for loyalty? grin Trooping the colours looked marvellous on TV as usual and such weather!
Just like ours this week-end; Lots of sunshine; not bad for mid-winter.
As they say; "The sun always shines on the righteous" smile
And Happy Birthday to the Prince. 97 years young!

Hope to pop in again soon, if the door is still open, that is! hmm
Ta-Ra and Good Health to All. wine

Mouse traps Kitty aaaaaahhhhhhhh ?????

GrannyGravy13 Sun 10-Jun-18 10:27:18

Good morning all, overcast here in SE Essex.

Leg is sore after cinema yesterday, so it is yet again elevated on sofa.

Wishing all gransnetters a lovely relaxing Sunday.

Wishing all 'poorly' folk feel better than yesterday and are on the mend.

silverlining48 hope all goes well tomorrow, my friend had this procedure last week, and she was very pleased to find out that she actually lost 2pound!!

LynneB59 Sun 10-Jun-18 09:39:44

It's overcast here in Nottingham. I had a late night out last night, so I'm being lazy this morning but I'll do some gardening later.

kittylester Sun 10-Jun-18 09:26:55

Morning all!

I thought I posted ages ago nina but obviously not properly. grin

It's sort of greyish in North Leicestershire and we are going to be gardening and buying mouse traps!

We know how to live!!

silverlining48 Sun 10-Jun-18 09:07:01

Thanks corner. Fingers crossed.

silverlining48 Sun 10-Jun-18 09:05:53

Thanks greyduster, have had my last meal ( eggs on toast)
And my last cuppa til tomorrow afternoon. Not looking firward to the prep today, will be staying close to facilities....

cornergran Sun 10-Jun-18 09:02:44

Don’t worry, silverlining, greyd is right, the prep is worse than the procedure, staff are kind and respectful and yes, it’s soon over. I actually found it interesting. Wishing you well.

Greyduster Sun 10-Jun-18 08:59:13

Hope that goes well for you, silverlining. I’ve had a couple - the prep is worse that the procedure but soon over. Try and relax. ??. Apparently we had an earthquake here last night. Who knew? The earth did not move for me ?.

silverlining48 Sun 10-Jun-18 08:50:49

Good morning all. A breezy day but looking like the sun will be out soon. Am feeling a bit nervous as i have a day of fasting and taking the prep which i know will be unpleasant before a colonoscopy tomorrow morning.
Have a peaceful day all.

ninathenana Sun 10-Jun-18 08:41:02

Morning everyone.

WAKE UP KITTY grin
Warm and dull so far in Kent but the sun is expected later.
Not a lot planned, coffee and papers in the garden and see what follows.
A weekend to remember Maw

Anniebach Sun 10-Jun-18 08:40:30

Good morning all x

Greyduster Sun 10-Jun-18 08:33:45

Good morning Michael and all GNs. Cool and grey in South Yorkshire but it will brighten up later I hope. We are supposed to go to watch a Lads and Dad’s football match today but I am trying to think of an excuse not to go. Bad Granny!! Some gardening today for me later. Have a happy Sunday, folks.

Pittcity Sun 10-Jun-18 08:29:56

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester.
Restful Sunday, which is good as I ache from playing Walking Netball yesterday.
Cooking roast pork later and browsing t'interweb for a new TV as ours has died sad

cornergran Sun 10-Jun-18 08:09:56

Morning All. Bright, sunny morning in our corner of Somerset. I wonder why do I wake when I’m still shattered? No sense to it. Pleased Mr F had good support from the NHS, nice to hear the positives. Bit of gardening (and sneezing) here today once the ironing is done. Hope Sunday is kind to everyone.

travelsafar Sun 10-Jun-18 08:01:35

Morning all, a bit grey here in Letchworth Garden City at the mmoment.Planning on cleaning the car this morning and then off to play bowls this afternoon for a few hours.
