OT - Sharon's Back was will Australia please report in?
Didn't seem to show up first time
Sharon from Melbourne Australia (Queen of Down Under) Queen of Down Under http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/craft.html (takes a while to load) http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shazrules/my_photos (same as website but quicker) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sharon Harper" Newsgroups: rec.crafts.textiles.quilting Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2005 6:27 PM Subject: OT - Sharon's Home was OT will Australia please report in? Sorry Momma Polly! We were in Sydney for a long weekend visiting mum and dad - who'da thought they'd have a heatwave? We are now back in nice, briskly chilly Melbourne. Dad has gone back into hospital. Whether he comes out again is anyone's guess. It's a cycle of saline drip - get better - go home - get nauseas and dehydrated - back to hospital - drip, etc. He is due to have the ileostomy reversed in 15 days but ? who knows. Apparently they took more of the bowel than mum and dad first thought. On our drive home we were smashed from behind by an absolute nutcase in a large SUV. We were in wayne's trusty ute/pickup (holden crewman ss for the car nuts). It is bright red. We were stopped at a stoplight. This guy was changing lanes driving 80km/hour about and heading for a stop light. What can you say? We are all okay. The car is shattered but driveable. Thank heaven's we weren't in my little matchbox. Does not bear thinking of. Good thing is the council cut down the huge dead gum tree out the front. Been dropping leaves and branches for months. Not any more. Going to shower and bed. More tomorrow. Night Night. Sleep tight. -- Sharon from Melbourne Australia (Queen of Down Under) Queen of Down Under http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/craft.html (takes a while to load) http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shazrules/my_photos (same as website but quicker) "Polly Esther" wrote in message .net... It seems to me that we have a few that haven't checked in. Holding all of you close, Polly "melinda" wrote That was probably something to do with Cyclone Ingrid. It hit far north Queensland, a bit north of Cairns IIRC, skirted around the Darwin area although it hit a couple of islands up that way pretty bad, and now the north coast of Western Australia is under cyclone alert. The intesity of this cyclone has been up and down like a yoyo started as a 5 droped to a 3 and now is back up to 5 again. -- Melinda http://cust.idl.com.au/athol |
