Sudokuaholics Anonymous 8

Good Morning SA8, so not here.
Tami I cheated and googled this hehe!
Anzac Day is a national public holiday in Australia and New Zealand, and is commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. Anzac Day is also observed in the Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa and Tonga.

YEP!! I am DEFINITELY more experienced!!! I've also had a ton of fun in my life. Born with mild Cerebral Palsy, but my parents never held me back from anything!!!

Tami: so how are the beastie boys doing? And the big beastie???

Tami - Anzac Day is the day our nation remembers the fallen Aussie heroes from WW1 right through to present day Iraq. It is a very important day to most Australians.

by the way Tami, I had to sign in again, and I did it all by myself!! I am so proud!!!!

I didn't turn the page to see that Broni had already explained Anzac Day.
Suzanne - nice to see you posting - here's a smiley for you to give Tami -

That is SO funny!

Conragtulations Suzanne. Craft disease has not set in yet.
Anzac Day is like our Memorial Day and our Veterans Day. Thank you for the info Broni and Cyn.

Cynthia: I see your page has bejeweled on it. Addicting, isn't it?? I am also hooked on Mahjongg. I love to needlepoint & embroider too. What hobbies do you like?

Tami: Craft disease is not far behind for EITHER of us!!! remember, we are NOT that far apart in age (no matter that you lie & say you are only 29!!!! I KNOW BETTER!!!)

I am SO happy that we finally have decent weather in Utah. It got to 82 degrees today, which is practically SUMMER for us!

Cynthia: Anzac day sounds like our Veteran's Day or Memorial Day. As a military wife, I can appreciate that other countries respect their military too.

I am going to bed now. Tomorrow is Take Your Child to Work Day. I will be taking both beastie boys with me. The school has several activities planned. We have about 25 kids coming in with their parents/aunts/etc.

Tami: Have fun & nite nite!!
Love ya!
Suzanne

Hello everyone. A nice sunny day, so far - bed's made, washing's on the line - mmm, what to do next?
MizTricia, I used to make all my kids' clothes - back in the 80's, when styles were simple and colourful, and my new overlocker could do just about anything! Rob would find something to amuse the kids and I would whip up skirts and shirts and all kinds of things, and the kids were always thrilled! Yes, I indoctrinated them young, Homemade is better made! And they believed it, mwa-ha-ha! Even made shirts and pants for the boy - remember those psychadelic pants that were all the rage (can't remember what they were called) - dead easy to make, and he loved them! Those were the days, my friends!

Hi Judy! I am relatively new to the Sudoku chat. How many hours difference between you & me? Is it almost 18?? Trying to figure it out. It is almost 8 p.m. Wednesday here.

Hi Suzanne - yes, Anzac Day is like your Memorial and Veterans days. I am going to watch 2 of my grandchildren march with the Scouts in an Anzac parade on Saturday - it will be followed by a service in remembrance of the fallen. There will be thousands of these marches and services all over Australia. Also we can watch the main march/service in our state capital cities on TV. I always watch that - I used to see my father & uncles marching but now there is only one uncle left - he's 90 but he will be marching, leading his batallion. Always brings a tear to the eye.

Suzanne - Sudoku time is the same as the East coast of Australia (Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Hobart) so it is just after 12 noon on Thursday here,

Suzanne - I want to take Bejewelled off my page but my hubby is addicted to it and would be lost without his daily fix of it. I love any games, am a cryptic crossword addict and I dabble in mosaics and scrapbooking as well as collecting art deco/art nouveau items - furniture, china glassware, books, history etc.

Empty House !!

Good Morning.
Only 10.22am here Suzanne. Here in Western Australia we are 2 hours behind Sudoku Time.

Cynthia: you can take the bejewelled off the page, your husband can play it on msn or yahoo for free. Thanks for the info on the time, it helps. Thank you ALL for welcoming me & chatting...you are all sweethearts!!!

Judy those certainly were the days..I thought they would never end....I'd sing and dance... he he
If you are wondering what to do you can send me the recipe for your cake... would like something that isn't as high fat or as sinful as my chocolate cake to have with a coffee...

Cyn I am not game to go to your page to check out Bejewelled...
Must remember my manners...

I've been trying to take it easy today, but ended up working the sheep. I had to sort out and weigh 5 (had to be a specific weight) lambs for lamb chops for a Kentucky Derby party in a 5 star restaurant. They have already been delivered to the plant for processing first thing in the morning.
Now I'm gonna feed dogs, then go to bed. Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow.

Heidi, I hope you do feel better tomorrow. Lamb chops for a Kentucky Derby Party? Nothing like getting them fresh from a local farm.

Is that a magnolia blossom for Magnolia Ky?

Suzanne, here is a link to the world clock, it helps me keep up with the times across Oz.

I keep this is a tab top of my screen and can check it out anytime I get confused, which is often. Good to see you posting here. You asked about hobbies. I grow flowers in containers, sew, and make quilts now. I have a few photos of quilts on my page if you care to look. Also made some permanent gift bags this year. I have made jewelry ornaments for my Christmas tree. years ago I crocheted, learned to knit, all kinds of crafts really. Like play solitaire on the puter, and MahJongg, and of course sudoku.

Thanks MizTricia for the info on the world clock. I have enough trouble with the East Coast of the USA!!! You sound like we have a lot in common with the puter games!!!! I have tried to crochet & knit, but I have trouble keeping the rows straight...any suggestions?? I am also left handed, so that makes it hard too!!

Heidi: I love lamb chops!! I am jealous, I've never been to the Kentucky Derby. My mom had a friend who used to breed race horses years ago and a few of hers ran in the derby. Any ideas for recipes for grilling the lamb? I've done olive oil, rosemary, salt & pepper. I'm making boneless pork chops tomorrow. Warm enough here to grill them. Any ideas on seasoning????????

Suzanne, I like pork with Greek Seasoning. If you cannot find it in the store, do what i did and goggle it, Greek seasoning + recipe. I found a really good one, has dried mint in it and an interesting mix of spices. It is yummy on pork. Of course you have to have the mint, but I have this large jar of dried curly spearmint from back when I grew all kinds of mint, years ago.

Time to say good maeN to all my friends. Catch you again tomorrow.

Hi there Suzanne,by george you have got it!!
We grill,fry and bbq lamb chops,roast leg of lamb with rosemary was a traditional Sunday lunch when I grew up.Lamb is very costly in Aust.now but we still manage to enjoy the chops now and again as they are a favorite of mine.

Good night MizT have a good sleep.

My house looks lovely and tidy now except if you look at the dirty windows,junk drawer,computer room,pantry and weeds in the garden.Oh also the pile of ironing that I rarely do but hide.
I still feel relaxed enough knowing that I have accomplished a great deal and Greg will notice how busy I have been.

Am going around to Renaes now,Kailah now has a chest infection and Mum & Dad are desperate for a break after being up all night.
Bye .

everyone.

Haven't read for a few pages, just wanted to pop in to say I am still in the land of the living...although the one where people have very sore feet!
I have finally extracted the digit and started walking again, I had to, the scales told me I was at my heaviest again DOH!

Good Afternoon

One pair of Shorts finished.. looks ok !!
Bought 4 metres of Navy Material and Haberdashery yesterday.. to make a pair of shorts,a pair of pants, and a pair of 3/4 pants (Capri, Pedal Pushers, what ever you call them).
Will start on that maybe tomorrow. I will sew all 3 items at the same time.
First must do ffuts, have an ironing pile as high as Mt Kosciuszko, and a house that is in need of a cleaner !!

This coming weekend.. Hubby and I are away, staying with friends at their beach house.. Monday here in the West is a Public Holiday (for Anzac).
When we come home on Monday Morn, will taking everything out of the family/meals/kitchen.. ready for the Painting Weekend 2nd-3rd May!!

Sending hugs for Kailah and her Mummy and Daddy, Nola.

Suzanne, great to see you here, and kudos to you for remembering how to sign in all by yourself! I have a hobby, it's called eating! Along with rosemary on my lamb, I add garlic.

I will be going to the local dawn service on Saturday morning to remember our Anzacs. I will also be thinking of my Mum and another ex-service friend who is going through a tough time healthwise at the moment.

Brenda.. Hope you have a great time on your holiday.
