Welcome to everyday Lets Talk

WS - I think you've got it, I think I'm Mrs Dolittle ....................



Lai
aka Mrs D.

I think that Lai is really Mrs Dolots, at least when it comes to making WAA posts

Okay, now for some general conversation to create fresh material for LW's next analysis!

The weather is really windy wild this morning, and perhaps this woke me up. I've been up since 5:40am, and I have holidays! I was also up very early 2 days ago, so I think it's just my mental alarm telling me, "there are new WAA posts to check out Gregory"

2 days ago I played tennis with a friend and I lost 6-0, 6-2 (so that friendship is definitely over now ). At least it wasn't a double doughnut :) It was too hot for this I was like, "oh, I don't want to have to hunt under Mr Yellow today." Well I wasn't very energetic. If I was a leopard then I probably wouldn't survive for long having to fend for myself

Yesterday was even hotter, but I didn't go to the beach or anything. I walked Bella in the morning, and she seemed fine during the walk, but afterwards she was buggered (Aussie term ), slumping down on a part of the floor where she normally never lays. But she still didn't drink all that much water, so I think she was just being a drama She was soon up and about again on the lookout for any 'threats' to our place :)

I've been watching a lot of doco's lately, and comedy shows, and even French films! I am quite the fan of Audrey Tatou, not sure if anyone here knows of her, but she's best known for Amelie. Priceless is also great, and just recently I watched Beautiful Lies, a very funny flick about a crazy love triangle. Highly recommended.

For my holidays I plan to:

Go and see the Frankston sand sculptures (they have a great exhibition there every year; it starts December 26).
Have a day trip to a country town, probably Yea.
Go to a zoo, perhaps Healsville Sanctuary.
Maybe make another trip into Melbourne's Botanical Gardens with Bella.

I am lucky that if I want to do something and be away for awhile, that I have my parents to take care of Bella.

Some British interests:

They are not my favourite band, but I like Oasis; probably The Beatles are more Grandfather Clock's vintage
Newcastle United are my English premier league team; forever underachievers for a so-called big club. I don't keep up with it so much now, but back in the Alan Shearer days I was a big fan.
What I am a massive fan of are the Inspector Morse and Lewis television movie series! I have all of these murder mysteries on DVD; it's quite an obsession, though I think that my obsession for this forum has clearly exceeded that

GR I will get back to you in my weeks round up, I could so sum that up right now but I will hold my fire

For me, I have finally finished my wrapping up of pressies and delivering the ones I needed to deliver
Also been out for a lovely Latte and a Winter Spiced Muffin.........only tomorrow at work then off till New Years Eve, back for one day and then off again It's my mums birthday on the 28th ( same day as you fly to Kenya Lai ) so I am sure we will do something nice for that.

Have a good day tomorrow everyone.....it will be Christmas Eve

littlewid-x-

It already is Eve for me Just thirteen hours to go!

LW, thankyou for being so kind as to hold your fire

CAN I JUST SAY.....

Yes I can swim and LW how did you get such a fantastic likeness of me in scuba gear

SM

This thread is off again and lots of great comments.

We've finished now so no work for me until 11th January! I am soooooooooooooo pleased.

GR I love all your holiday plans. The only one i've done is the Botanical Gardens and it was lovely, sadly no photos though. Frankston sand sculptures sound amazing, photos please?

Oasis Beatles and Newcastle Utd. a definite For me Groove Armada, Foo Fighters, Royksopp and a Pride & Prejudice as a book/film.

I love Lewis (new since Morse finished) and Midsomer Murders (just how many people can be murdered in one county)? Favourites are anything wildlife especially if David Attenborough is involved.

Tennis I love it - we have a court but Pete doesn't play so I haven't for 5 years - shame as it's an ace game

Littlewid I hope you're all finished now and ready to relax, I went shopping with my mum this morning and had a latte - it was busssssssssssssssssssssssy in town!

Enjoy the rest of Christmas Eve everyone.

Lai

Merry Christmas Everyone

A quiet family one for me with nothing planned but eating, drinking and being merry

Sounds like a good plan PPH

Lai, you must be over the moon with excitement now for your safari trip! Only a few more sleeps

I will take some snaps of the sand sculptures when I go to Frankston and post here. Last year when I went with family my mum forgot to take her camera!

The pic of Bella in the daisys was from the Botanical Gardens :)

Pride & Prejudice is a little too prim and proper for me Lai The one novel of that type that I like is Jane Eyre. I read it in high school and reread it again in the last couple of years.

Oxford (Morse/Lewis) is a very dangerous place! It always makes me laugh too how any character that just smiles at another is definitely having an affair! Are the British really that kinky?

I think it's great what they did with bringing in the new Hathaway character. He is different to Morse, but like him in that he is rather eccentric. Lewis is more to the book, both as a cop and as a person. I am no good at guessing the murderer, but I just love the relationship between the cops and very subtle British humour that is thrown into the mix.

"Shame as it's an ace game" - Lai, do I have to send you to the cracker jokes thread?

Wishing everyone a safe and happy festive season

OH YES, OH YES, OH YES......it's Christmas Eve and will be on his way soon but only to all of those who have been very good........Mmmmm WS :What: ......GR........ ....not sure if he delivers to cheeky boys .......As for all us girlie ....Oh YES

Hope everyones sorted for tomorrow, pressies wrapped, veggies and Turkey prepared, alcohol at the ready chrissie music sorted

Have a brilliant day everyone whatever you are up too, have fun with your families and friends.

We don't have Christmas snow but we do have oodles of Christmas rain at the moment .....wheres the

littlewid-x-

We're all ready Turkey's cooked, veg all done, including those horrible green things LW sent So off for a or with friends tomorrow, then when we get back ZAP and its all ready. Got to stay up late LW, its no use pouring Santa his Boddies till he gets here it'll go flat, and its not good for people to drink on their own anyway. Thats my excuse, and I'm sticking to it
Hope you all have a great day tomorrow, and enjoy yourselves

WS

It's Christms Day and it's blowing a Hooley here this morning, no sign of just lots of . Hope everyone is up for a great day. Have fun guy's.

littlewid-x-

It's calm here and for the moment no rain must make the most of it!

Have a great Christmas day everyone

ps GR it's more the film of P & P with Mr Darcy coming out of the lake in his wet shirt that does it for me with Hathaway, he's a great character and very quirky.

Lai

We've had plenty of and it was that dark this morning we believe it, it was still dark at 8-00am
Have a fun day everyone wherever you are what ever your doing
WS

Happy Christmas

That's lovely colourful work on the smileys LW and PPH! Hope everyone is having a great day :)

LW, Santa must see boyishness as a positive, as I received some presents

Lai, I'm guessing that you liked it when 'Mr Darcy' got wet in Love Actually too

James Hathaway; what a wonderful wordsmith! Extremely well :study:

GR - Love Actually a real feel good factor film and one to watch if you're feeling a little

Lai

It's my mum's favourite, though I like it too

Your mum has good taste Onesie Man

Lai

HAPPY BOXING DAY EVERYONE

Hope it was a little brighter for you this morning WS It's been raining here most of the day and now it's absolutley raining & , it's dreadful

Ah Ha, so decided to be kind to Onsie boy and bring him some pressies then ......what did you bribe him with????? come on tell us :What:

Do you know I have never seen Love Actually the whole way through, seen bits and pieces of it but never the whole thing Maybe something to watch in 2013

Have a good rest of the day everyone

littlewid-x-

Hope everyones had a great Boxing Day, and Lai your Mums been well enough to have the Turkey today. Onsie Boy must have give Santa his mistletoe that was the bribe cant think of anything else . It was light and dry this morning LW, but it was that dark by 1-30pm headlights were on Since then its down
WS

and all afternoon and dark by what seemed like 3pm!!!

Thanks WS my mum was able to enjoy the turkey and all the trimmings. We are fuller than a full thing now so just some fruit later for me otherwise I'll pop

Hope you've all had a good Boxing Day

Littlewid if you can do watch it the whole way through, it's a really film.

Lai

When Santa asked for the mistletoe I gave him a kiss, thinking that's what he was after (who knows with people and their 'signals' ), but he got pretty upset; "Not you, you idiot. I want this so that I can smooze with Mrs Claus."

He calmed down eventually after I gave his reindeer some scooby snacks, and therefore I still got my pressies

But boy, does Mrs Claus have a lot to put up with! Kissing Santa is very bristley. Not sure how long this rash will last

I'm glad that you ended up getting your turkey Lai. Now will have all the strength you need to tackle those big cats

GR and good to leave WAA for 11 days or so with a good

Have a great New Year's Eve everyone and catch up in 2013



Lai

I hope you and Pete have a really great safari Lai, and bring us back loads of pics to cheer us up back in cold wet damp Britain.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TO
