I hope Gail is enjoying her birthday. Did she have anything planned?

Phew! Thought I may have got booted as I was re-reading what I just submitted.
Cyn, I am in for the tour as well.

Broni - do they have yellow about the eyes?
I always called them Noisy Mynahs but I seem to remember that June said they're the imported ones. The only birds I hate!

Cyn, we hit a young wombat driving home one night. Thankfully hubby wasn't driving fast and he saw it in time to hit the brakes. It was a bit shaky, but walked away. The car is a bit dented though. I see kangaroos, wombats and other natives on the side of the road out this way all the time. It's a dangerous place for animals to be after dark.

Broni - the tour around to see the animals? Mostly around Redland Bay and Mt Cotton. I wonder if Keith & Lynne would like to see the wallabies in their natural surroundings? Or even if they would have time.

Indian Mynahs? They are not very big, a bit smaller than a lorikeet. And they steal my dogs' food too!

Agree, Suzy. Only non-locals drive fast around here at dusk or during the night.
Poor wombat. If we hit a kangaroo (not so far) or see one that has been hit, we call the wildlife rescue people because, even if the roo is dead, it may have a joey that survived and they must get there quickly.

We did that too Cyn. They came out and searched for him/her, but he/she had hidden in a burrow under a bridge. We helped look for about an hour, but then they sent us home. I can't drive over the bridge without wondering about him/her...

Suzy - she walked away, hopefully she's OK and you did what you could.

I hope she's okay too - and hopefully she has some road sense now.

Just went and yelled at the kiddies - I think it's in my job description. Sigh.

Cyn/Zusy just google them but they are pure white on the underbelly and seem to have a longer tail.
Cyn, Keith and Lynne are arriving midday Saturday and leaving Monday not sure what time. Was thinking about taking them straight to the city to do the rounds of the statues but will need someone who knows the city better than me, we would be getting lost all the time hehe!
Perhaps on Monday I could take them down Redland bay way and have brunch somewhere, just depends on the time of their flight.

That's a flying visit Broni! I know what you mean about getting lost - we got lost in Sydney the other day. Did see a lot of statues though... shame Keith wasn't with us.

Yeah and I have to clean out the junk in the spare bedroom yet! eeeek!
Cyn just remembered you asked before and do no know what Gail was doing today, probably a Gail or was she catching up with Bean?

Back in from doing the final chores for the night.

A lot of people feed dog food to pet Mynahs. They love it and it's good for them. That's probably why they steal Bellas food Broni.

Now I'd better go to bed. I have to get up in 6 hours.

Broni - Southbank would be the obvious place to take them but there are some gardens in the city with statues in them (Viv found them weeks ago and I didn't keep the link) and I don't know what they're called. Some Brisbaneite I am, lived here all my life and don't know my way around the city any more. There's always Mt Coot-tha as well. If you're doing brunch, Sirromet winery, near me, does breakfasts - not sure how expensive though. Later in the day, there's always wallabies amongst the vines but not sure if they're there in the mornings.
We can make ourselves available if you need help.

Goodnight and goodluck for tomorrow Heidi, although knowing you don't think you will need it.

Oh - here is Sirromet's menu - expensive but mouth-watering. They only do breakfast from Wed-Sun anyway.

Victoria gave me some details or statues in the city but would love know the link Viv if you still have it.
Thanks Cyn may take you up on your offer, now that easter is over really got to get planning.

You know you really shouldn't go grocery shopping when hungry..
With passing all the Chocolates, yummy Cheeses, Violet Crumbles, Twisties, Smarties, Samboy BBQ Chips, Tim Tams............... oh the temptation !!!

OK - got a news link for you all. After you've read this one, you might need to check out the menu above to get your mind off it -

Whadya mean, I don't think I'll need it???? I need all the luck I can get!!!

I twas good and didnt buy any of the above..
In order to lose the weight, be fit and trim for my 3 week touristy trip to China in 2 1/2 months time, I need to watch what I eat.

Hi Rola, STOP IT! yes I am shouting after just reading the Sirromet menu, need that drool smilie of Heidi's

I did see a noice top in Rockman's. Might go and try it on tomorrow and see how it looks on me.

Time for lunch.. Bon Appetite!!

Here ya go.

Now I AM going.

You are going to China, Rolanda? I must have missed that. How wonderful. I've always wanted to go there.
Try on the top in Rockmans - you'll need new clothes for the trip.

Bye Heidi - good luck tomorrow - all will be well.

Hehe Heidi, thanks! Now go to bed!
Gotta go and do more ffuts myself.

Hello, wonderful people! Happy Birthday to Gail's daughter, Toy Elephant! Just started reading and haven't figured out who Miss Shirley is. Broni, so glad you had a great time on the boat, but too bad pooter repair will take a long time!

MizT, I didn't have any luck finding half-price Easter candies worth buying, and especially no yummy chocolate. Yes, I know white chocolate isn't chocolate, but I also will eat it. Just couldn't find any white, milk or dark chocolate worth opening my wallet.

Found it Broni - Roma Street Parklands!

Sigh. First question of 3 drafted, though I'm not happy with part c)...

Think I might take the clothes off the line now before they blow away. We must have the edge of the winds that are supposed to be blowing south of here - or was that yesterday????

Hi Julie, not here really! hehe!
Thanks Cyn, you are a gem! How is the BAS going?
Zusy, well done, you can always go back and edit later at least you have achieved a lot.

BAS - what BAS??

I found something much more interesting to do - research for Keith and Lynne's visit.
It's not due until 28th.

Being A Socialite!

Zusy would love your Banana Bread recipe if it is not a family secret, have some I need to use up.

CynB and everyone.. this is the first time I have mentioned China.. there are a few on here that do know. I am so excited!!
I will be traveling with Family, Peter's young cousin married a Chinese lass 2 1/2 years ago, they live in China, and are organising the Trip within China. Peter is not going, work commitments and is unable to take 3 weeks off in the middle of the year.

CynB.. the top in Rockmans, wont be wearing in China if I buy it..
China will be HOT, and this is a winter top.

It's getting late here - nearly time for bed.
