Vicky - the glass of vino under the pecan tree - sounds wonderful!

AJP - happy anniversary to you and your dh

chocolate bilbies to you all!

Hi Kim, Christy, Nelly, Blanchie (who does NOT look like a whale in the slightest!!!)

we were spectacularly non-Eastery this year, did not go to Haighs and do the usual easter bilby shopping, worn out from the heatwave. I'm used to "shutting down" for four days of a heatwave - just don't go anywhere, cupboards get bare, too stuffed to do anythign, but the 15 days of it took me for six.

so lovely to be back to normal autumn weather - well 30 degrees is a bit warm for autumn, but at least it's not 40!!!!

gearing up for bilby's first day in childcare on friday - feeling very nervous - cos the CCC director was so obviously anti breastfeeding, and anti MCN. hoping the day to day staff are very different to the director.

sounds like you all have lots of lovely photos for me to go check out on facebook, if my internet connection stays on long enough - we drop in and out constantly now - next door neighbours had Telstra come fiddle with wire lately - fixed the neightbours problem but messed up OUR wires!!! grrrr to bigpong.

Blanche - i'll be thinking of you tomorrow, at your Grand-dad's funeral, i hope it goes well as can be, remembering him, honouring him with happy memories. You cry all you like darling.
