Are there any Australian members in the garden?

I will send an email to some Aussie mates and see if I can get them to join.

GReat. We need more of an international flavour in the garden. Pity I cannot get more Irish in here. But I suppose, One of me is enough :wah:

Well there is now!

G-day capt_buzzard, I'm Jika from Melbourne Australia.

Are you an expat Aussie living in Ireland ? or just a curious Irishman? lol

Cool! It's good to be curious or "nosey" as you so cutely put it.

I've got relo's up north, farmers near Drummaville Donegal if my memory serves correct.

What part of the Emerald Isle do you hail from?

Hi where do you live, I live in the central west.



Where did all these Ozzies come from? I thought it was just Alfred and me. Put yourselves on the FG googlemap and I won't feel so isolated over here.

I'm just having a quiet day a home in between race riots.


Why do you need a course in phone throwing?, are you talking about throwing your mobile when you get peed of with the person on the other end?



I'm coming to Coffs next week for a holiday, staying at park beach.

Alfred wrote: googlemap?


If you look on the left corner on the home page you will see a listing for members map, it's a new thing where we can place out location, you can zoom in on it too.

well i don't know if it worked but i tried.

We have lots of space in Australia, maybe some of the Brits would like to come over as it's looking a bit crowded over in the UK.



What times the party at Alfred

Hi! Don't forget me, Im here in sunny and hot Melbourne.

The cost of living is rising, it's hot and the worms are eating the apples on my apple tree for another year. What can I do without spraying insectacide.

After watching the movie It's a wonderful life, I can see the humour in any situation as long as I keep remembering the movie.

See ya.:guitarist

That is a great movie. I have no fruit trees as we have to many problems with fruit flies.



Sunny hot Melboure eh, I'm out back NSW along with MrsK.

Love that movie - a classic

Stormy Queensland here - North side of Brisbane for now but if we get many more storms like last week I think the house will fall down

I hope it's not stormy next week in Coffs, I'm going camping there for a week.

mrsK wrote: I hope you enjoy orangesox1 nice place to be camping I must say.

I could handle that:-6


I like you Avarta and sig, you must have as much free time as I do, or you prefer to chat than do house work, like me.

The rain is wonderful - dont we ever need it too

It is the thunder and lightening bouncing of Mount Coo-tha thats the prob. And hope it better by the end of the week am going to the Sunny Coast for a long weekend with a g/f I met online.

Lucky you, I went to the Sunshine coast last year for my hols, it's the best place.

Yep very lucky Sunny Coast hour and half away :wah: and Gold Coast an hour away :yh_questn - think I am a little long in the tooth for Surfers

ahh yes brisbanes storms... cut power at my house twice last week for a couple of hours. they were reasonable storms, we're a little more sheltered here.

holidays have been great so far, thats right all 6 weeks of them, just 2 to go with a week at the beaches.

yay! yes the drought has broken here in northern NSW, big rain so much so that the other day we had flooding in the parks and i watched as a little bridge floated ever so gently past my verandah...very surreal.:yh_cow

mrsK wrote: That is great news Aisling,still in drought out here but I suppose it will rain one day:-6 soon I hope.

Welcome to the garden I hope you enjoy it here.
Thanks mrsK, nice to meet you,I'll ask hewie to send ya out some rain!:yh_cow

amazing how it won't rain a drop for ages and then out of nowhere they'll come this huge amount of water from who cares where.

then the clouds bugger off for another long period of time.

why why why.

welcome to the garden.

Hey Alfred, thanks, yes the rain is a bit of a phantom round these parts of late,but hope it sticks around a while, its been a long dry!Keep it comin'!:yh_cow
