Film review etc....

Thanks Sara, for the film review. "Australia" opens here next week and I am looking forward to seeing it . I haven't visited northern Australia but DH is keen to do so.. too many dangerous things up there for my liking...snakes and crocodiles to name but two !! Hope that the sore throat hasn't developed into anything worse, not what you need the week before Christmas.

Rosey, sounds as if you're going to have a white Christmas . My mother used to say that they are fine on Christmas cards . (do we ever stop remembering and repeating things our mothers said ???) We've had a humid week here with occasional heavy rain showers . Good for the garden but not so good for the evenings around the BBQ's .

Jean , what a miserable year you've had since you fell and hurt your shoulder. Lets hope that there will be more movement and less pain from now on.

Jane, reassuring to know that you ' ain't dead yet' !!!! Your latest surgery sounded very complicated. I'm pleased that you were able to go to the local nursing home until you felt able to cope at home. I'm sure the residents would enjoy a visit from you and Shadow when you feel up to it.

All is well here. Just the usual busyness of this time of year. DH and I are like "ships that pass in the night" as our days are busy with different activities and groups of people . It will be good to have a few days away next week. We've had our neighbours Beagle staying this week. She and our Beagle are good friends and enjoy tiring each other out. The day she was to go home she disappeared for seven hours ! Not good news. We thought we had a dog proof fence line.. We are surrounded by open country and there was no sign of her anywhere. Her owners were (thankfully) very laid back about it all and said she would return when she was hungry !! We were very pleased to hear her barking , just on dusk. She was the wrong side of the fence so we're still not sure how or where she got out...

We are visiting DD#2 in Auckland for Christmas so I may not get time to post before we go away. I'd just like to thank all those who have continued to post here and to encourage more lurkers to say hello !! I'd like to wish you all a very happy time with friends and family and all the best for 2009 . It looks as if it could be a challenging year for many of us..

Marion.
