Robin from Kurrajong, Australia

Hello Robin - I saw your comment on 'hard' regarding the intended trip to either Tassie or WA, a very hard decision.
Are you new to this site as I haven't seen your name before.
Welcome to your own page. A bottle of local Goundry Unwooded Chardonnay for you to give you a taste of our very popular and delicious wines we have to offer in the region.

Hello Anne
Thanks for the welcome..and the wine...love to sip it (tried to insert smilie here..wot!!)I had been here several times but decided to support the site this morning. You start the day really early too, I noticed! I only wish I could get my yellow robin better proportioned..will have to tweak him a fraction! Like your maggie...is he/she a pet?
Robin
Ahhh now I see the smilies....sorry, a bit OTT!!
I will leave a jar of my latest cumquat marmalade on your kitchen window-ledge...hope the ants dont get it first!

Hello Robin
Thank you for both messages. The cumquat marmalade is delicious. I also make my own jam but haven't for the past 2 years as I still have a hoard in the cupboard and the family have all moved away. I managed to get to it before the ants, which I do have a problem with.
Cheers

Hi Robin, and welcome to your own page! Saw your post on Anne's page and realized you were a new SM. I have a tradition of leaving some double chocolate fudge beavertail pastries as a page warming gift. I hope you enjoy them. Cheers!

Wow!!!Greg,I may just disappear into a cheshire cat smile with that delightful gift. Can you post me a photo before they arrive please? Yum...

Hello Robin - long time, no see. Are you still visiting the site.
Have you been over to WA yet or did you go to Tassie for a holiday? Don't forget if you come over this way, please get in touch via the site, especially if you come down this way.

Robin and family!

Wow! If the fireworks were sending the dogs nuts at Kurraong, then the Sydney Basin was an amphitheatre indeed!

Sorry - Kurrajong (very, very tired)! I'll think of you next time I head up or down the Bells Line of Road!

Hello Robin - welcome to the "granny" club. I'm glad you had a wongerful time in Albany and our south west but what a shame you hadn't contacted me prior to leaving as I would love to have met up with you for a coffee at Dylans, the place I meet all the sudoku friends.
I hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year with your loved ones as I did with all my seven grandchildren together for the first time. It was really special.
Take care and best wishes for 2009!
Anne

Hey, it's a frightfully long time away from this place, sorry to leave you so long. I'll cook up a pot of spag bol, and Ive got a nice shiraz standing by to share. Gradually building up my pics on flickr too, but havent included any family pics yet.

Anne, thanks for the welcome to the "granny"club!! Im getting used to the great changes in the little chap. With Christmas coming up again, I hope you all have a lovely family time too.

Hiya Robin, great to see you posting again.

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas

Hi Gail
Thanks again. Ill try to catch up via your page too! Been away from here again, travelled up to share Christmas with the family up at Bilambil way, then on to Rockhampton where deluges didnt stop. It's been a very wet time back here too, kept the garden from crisping, and all the frogs and birds alive.

Hello Robin
Sorry I wasn't home when you were in Albany but it was nice chatting with you on the 'phone.
Enjoy the rest of your stay in W.A. and have a safe trip home. See you next time.
Cheers!

Hello Robin
I notice you are on the site at present so thought I'd just pop in and say hello.
Hope all is well with you and your family.
Cheers

Hi Anne, all well here thanks, just about to tuck into an Iranian dish that John is cooking..spiced lamb and quinces with rice and honeyed carrots...then out to an AGM with our landcare group tonight, polling booths tomorrow, then collapse and see what the country is in for the next 3 years!! How are you??

Wow, can I join you for dinner? Sounds delicious!
Glad to hear that's all well at your end.
Other than the fact that I have damn pneumonia and just can't shake it off, I'm okay. I've been out of work for quite a few months, left my last job as it was getting too damn stressful at my age, and I've managed to get another job which I start on the 30th of this month.
I've had a nice break so that's been good.
Yes, the polling booths tomorrow. I forgot. I've hardly left the house all week so must make the effort tomorrow.
Take care

Hi Robyn,

You obviously got a different photo from me as I got one of a Canadian sunset and am not aware of having had a photo published for a while.
I hope that the birds are singigng and the maggies warbling for you. I really miss them... Even Kookaburras don't know how to sing up here. Still we have a different beauty - jabirus and brolgas and a huge pair of sea eagles as I drove across the flood plain today.

Robin, thanks for your comments on my animal photos. I was actually taking the grandchildren for a walk in their neighborhood when we saw these animals and I couldn't resist taking the photos. Nothing could be a better compliment than making you smile. Thank you!!

Hi Robin! We have a few skinks but they mostly lay low when the water dragons are about - when the water heater was leaking we watched a few fighting over the best spot to lie in the trickle but they always disappeared when lady water dragon came to claim her spot. The water dragons lie about on the terracing in our yard soaking up the sun. When we appear on the verandah (which is a full level above the yard) one will run over the lawn cracking every dry leaf or twig on the way and when we look down, it's looking up at us; there is no doubt it definitely made that racket on purpose. Then they get whatever fruit is past its best. It has felt so wrong having to throw out school bag battered fruit over winter. Our relationship has definitely become interactive.

... although the one that squeezed in through the grill of the security door to the kitchen where the fly mesh was torn and flapping (no doubt following the scent of the freshly bought mandarins still in the shopping bags on the floor while we had our lunch) was a shade too bold! Once we managed to open the door to let it out (it freaked out when discovered and couldn't squeeze out again) we left it a strawberry to show there were no hard feelings. It sat on the back step eating for a good 40 minutes so all was well.

Hi robin. Thanks for the comment on my photo today!

Hello Robin - lovely to see you commenting on the site today. You'll have to visit more often.
Cheers,
Anne

Robin, I sent you a PM about joining us to meet Rolanda, next Saturday 16 June. Did you get it? Apparently some of the PM's are not working.

Hello Robin - replying to your query on tough, we had one fairly bad night but it wasn't as bad in Albany as forecast. Winds on the west coast often blow out before they reach us, but I believe along Margaret River way it was very bad.
Thanks for your concern.

Hi Robin,
How clever of you to have a photo of flowers on a
Kurrajong tree. When I was a kid living i Sydney we always had chooks, and they had a Kurrajong tree in their yard, and would eat the blossoms when they fell. My sister, who lives in the country uses the seedpods in her open fire every winter as there are so many trees in the town, and
she actually does the council a service by collecting them up !

Hello Robin - regarding the photo on tough puzzle today.
This is actually my daughter near a statue of the French Explorer Baudin, around the boardwalk in Albany.
Hope all is well with you,
Anne

Gee Robin - I just checked up and it was taken on 5th April 2007 and you expect me to remember what the weather was like then???? I can't remember what the weather was like yesterday. (Only because I work inside without windowns)
(As pasted on 'tough')

I think all those hieroglyphs are for the alien members of our society. I'll stick to logic and my banjo.

Hi Robin, the cells are labelled a...i left to right, and 1...9 bottom to top, so that the bottom left cell is 'a1', and the central cell is 'e5', for example. Sometimes, for short, we write d16, which means d1 and d6.So in today's puzzle, I say d16=18, which means that only 1 and 8 can occupy the cells d1 and d6. Other symbols are used, like <>, which means'not equal'. Regards,Alfred.

Hi Robin
Have no idea! She made the same comment yesterday & today, only on the hard sudoku! Hallidays Pt is near Foster....
Haven't seen her commenting before & her page is blank!
There was another person last year in July who didn't like people's photos - weren't interesting enough for her - trishthedish. I tried to tell her how to submit her own photos. But she came back at me saying ''they wouldn't accept them because the photos were too big'' & then seemed to think it was mu fault!
She's Trish & the new one's vicki, maybe they're friends/relatives, but probably no connection.
Just have to ignore it!!
