Melbourne girls: I think I just felt the first breath of the cool change... I've just hung a final load of nappies... hope I can get them dry before it rains.

Simone: Hope Declan is feeling better... it's amazing how fast they can go downhill but they also can better fast too! What's the latest?

Mel: Yeah I think Niall had a couple of flukey rolls but now he has a definate technique.

IK: ooh it's been ages since we've gone to a proper beach... I also don't like swimming in the bay, infact I won't, ugh. Maybe I've been spoilt by a childhood of nth NSW beaches... call me a beach snob LOL Hope you're having a good time out again today. Interesting you use Skype... I think I need to learn about that...

Rory: That Bisteeya sounds great... might Google for the recipe later... love Moroccan cuisine.

Jess: maybe everyone thought you have too much on your plate with 6 children, inluding a new baby? It's the only thing i can think of... you're very brave to offer though... i should imagine there would be heaps of petty squabbles to sort out as president... it would be hard not to take sides and avoid being accused of bias... still i agree... someone's got to do it. Bit like being a moderator in here: good on 'em putting themselves in the firing line!

ETA: Oh Simone! Still bad huh? Good luck darl... hope you score a sympathetic medico!
