h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Why not join Mari-Rae, Pierce, Pan, Sultandude and myself at http://www.h2g2.com/F35772?thread=53832&post=790749 It's a wee bit quiet at the moment due to the holidays, but we'd be pleased to have you join us. 8-)

You know me, never one to knock back an invite

*wonders if Gwennie REALLY wants to be talking to him in 3 forums at the same time *

You should know as a parent that us mothers are used to being in three places at once!

Ah yes, but you actually have a choice here

No problemo! Even between postings, in real life I'm emptying the dishwasher, getting my son's breakfast and making copious amounts of tea.

So, did you all enjoy Crimbo and are Deb and Rebecca pleased to have you home? How long have you got before you have to depart again? When are you going to put some recent family pics up at Shazz's Friends again? There! That stream of questions should keep you quiet for a while! *Grins*

We had a lovely quiet and cosy Crimbo and John's mum stayed over for three nights. It's snowed here and is f-f-freezing but we've also had brilliant sunshine (with a bitterly cold wind though) and I took Christopher out on his sledge yesterday. He had a wonderful time and I haven't laughed so much in ages as he couldn't stop and had one of our dogs, Spike chasing him at the same time!

I should be able to send a new pic when i go back to work on tuesday. Back down to Melbourne monday to friday until the end of Feb now Thankfully Rebecca seems to recognise me when i come home, although poor Zac misses his morning walks.

xmas was good, although busy. 10 people over on xmas eve and then 5 of us for xmas dinner. Boiling hot it was too, thankfully it has cooled down now...although perhaps a bit too much. Nothing like over there though !!!

I remember when we lived in NZ (Hibiscus Coast) that spending Christmas/New Years Day on the beach seemed strange and not quite "right". As for doing my Crimbo shopping, seeing snow and decorations in shop windows, listening to carols and seeing Santa in shorts and jandles really confused me!

I'm glad that Rebecca still recognises her daddy. It must be awful for you to have to work away and very tough on Deb!

Sorry to hear about Zac missing his walkies. My three are still waiting for their walk as it's like an ice rink outside and I'm hoping that it'll thaw a bit first. I expect Christopher will want to come with me too...

I have to go now. It's been fun bumping in to you on line and if I don't catch you before, have a really good New Year.

Always a pleasure my dear

Not much i can say to that really ...

Oh, I'm sure you'll think of something to say - even if it's just to exercise your nice new laptop! How's it going by the way?

Only just found this old thing...

I see Pan is back but what about the conversation we were all involved in?

*Pokes Linus in the tummy*

Don't call me "this old thing"!!!

Pan is back? Where?

*Runs off to greet her witch friend*

well either that or one of her old conversations has been reactivated...

T'was one of Pan's old conversations...Pan asked that I leave messages in a couple of conversations on her page with her friends on her behalf, which is what I think you must have noticed.

The good news is that Peta is Emailing Pan her password which she'd forgotten so all being well, she should be back very soon.

How's the job hunting going?

i knew i'd forgotten to do something today...

Haven't really dived in yet, but i have a few possibilities through friends. I better start getting organised i guess.

That's what I like to hear - enthusiasm!

I'm away for a few days to live with my mum-in-law who comes home from hospital today having had a hip replacement operation, so I won't be around for a while.

*Shudders at the muddle her hubby John will make of looking after the kids, dogs (who won't be walked so there'll be mounds of doggie poop in the garden to clear up) and house*

LOL! Poor old John doesn't even know how to use the dish washer and washing machine!

"See" you in a week or so (hopefully sooner).

*crosses fingers*

Hey there! Me back - me been in heap big state of shock and up to elbows in clearing up and now the kidlets are home for two weeks (half term and Easter holidays). *Shudders and pulls out another lump of hair*

How goes things down under?

i've got a new job, which is good news indeed

I might go away for a few days at Easter ( a poor substitute for missing my trip to Tibet ) or not...

Rugby season has started and i managed to survive the first game...which is also good news
