Still black outside my curtains but the TV tells me we are in for 37° today...thank goodness for aircons..:3rofl3: Ol you wanna share some of that water you have been getting down there at your place..we really could use some..:grin:

Better hit the shower..

Take care and stay safe..
:wavey::wavey:

[Michael@ton]

:15GDAY: Miss Sue, running out of water and thay still let you have showers, you haven't got it bad enough yet, I've been in a drought in SA where you could only shower every 2nd day, so harsh were the restrictions, :3rofl3::3rofl3::3rofl3:.

Or that might have been Petrol, you couldn't shower in Petrol, Yeah that sounds more like it. :MISSIN~18, only every 2nd day.

ENJOY your day one and all, Stay Safe and be kind to yourselves, :wavey::wavey:.

[Sue@Home]

Morning Sue, Michael and all, I have been in next door preparing the accommodation for my students today, lovely sunny morning here nice to be able to go outside with out freezing my b*t, hubbie has locked away the cats to give me a break from tripping over them when I am in the door out the door, they will be locked away for three days, not my siamese, just my 18 year old cats who just hang around the door all day to trip me over, I have a very large cat cage that comes in handy. I have to pick the girls up at 10am, I am hoping to get to the post office before then.
Oh well! back to work must clean the windows before it gets to hot.
Good Luck all, Michael I'm still trying to get that #1, must give the computer a shake to shake it out of it.:cheers:

[Blanche]

Morning Miss Sue, others to come:wavey:
You have to take the flashing and banging that goes with the water Miss Sue:3rofl3::3rofl3:Some of it comes in cold icy lumps too:3rofl3: Comedy is our council has ordered all units to get individual water meters put in so they can spring on those who waste water...we are up to our eyeballs in the stuff:lmaoblue::lmaoblue:
Up early to crawl under the table and whack the plugs in yet again...for how long who knows. It's looking bad temepered outside still!
Better brew up some coffee in case my lights go out...Hope everyone has a good day:wavey:

[Blanche]

Morning Susan, Michael:wavey: I'm a bit slow on the keys..must have rust setting in:3rofl3:

[Michael@ton]

Sure looks nasty weather up there OL :Lightn::Lightn:, I thought your weather was travelling North up to Miss Sue's area as well, Oh well you can't have your shower and drink it too, or is that you can't have your Cake and eat it too, Never mind, :3rofl3::3rofl3::3rofl3:.

Susan, I've tried to shake it out of my PC and then it went funny so I :badpc::badpc: tried to fix it after all the dust had settled, still won't come out, after all we don't need it, :lmaoblue::lmaoblue::lmaoblue:, C'MON TEAM P.E.N. :dance::dance::dance: just over 2 weeks to go. :wavey:

[Jarmodi]

morning miss sue, michael, susan, and ol...

good morning to all yet to come, another great looking day here... hope thursday is kind to you all...

[Michael@ton]

Good Morning Miss Vonnie :wavey: :wavey:,

You have a Great Day, too. :)

[Lady Bump]

Morning people:wavey:
Rather surprised to hear you dont have water meters Olsen we have had them for years down here, Amazing what you use actually we pay for water over the quota alloted which is quiet an amount anyway.
Raining here this morning so wont be wandering far.. well unless Alexis goes home then youll know where to find me:hyper:
Have a great day .. Stay Safe:cheers:

[Sue@Home]

Morning Ol and Vonnie, should be a great day Vonnie with all the company I will have, some times I have about 20 Japan's school english teachers and tour guides, checking the accommodation where the children will stay and looking at the sheep and horses, my horses are still in winter coats the girls will have a lot of brushing to do, horse hair all over them, hope they bring some old clothes, they nearly always have new shoes and clothes.
Back to cleaning window one more today and that will do.:wavey:

[Blanche]

Hi Vonnie, Bumps:wavey:
Units have just had a Body Corp meter before Bumps, and water rates included the rent...think it's a plot for an extra sneaky rent rise:1p
I just poured a much awaited coffee then did a huge sneeze while carrying it to the office:3rofl3: The new resident Kookaburra did a great laugh on cue...he's in for a short life, that bird:3rofl3:

[Michael@ton]

They only put them in last year here Julie, we certainly are well behind the Isle when it comes to water usage, we get charged a Nominal $3.00/week, but that's about to go up and when they think they can make more money they will put Individual ones in,
Have a good Day and hope Alexis and Mum are doing well, :wavey:.

[Lady Bump]

Did that yesterday think half my keyboard is out of action:3rofl3: dont need that half anyway:3rofl3::3rofl3:We get a useage account every 3 months here. usually abot $30 so thats not bad.

Think about 5 litres came out of the cup here:3rofl3: Missed the keyboard but the notebook on the side table got a good dose:3rofl3:

Not sure if our meter is going to cause us to have to pay basic rate plus extras, or just extras. Either way, I'll encourage the Viking to stop singing for hours in the shower:Feest30:

[Lady Bump]

Reckon if youre getting a meter to yourself its all in costs of what you use. Know thats what happened when they changed over mums from the corporate meter.

[Koolicks]

[Michael@ton]

I reckon all your fiddlin' has given Unc Les some ideas of his own, but to start taking measurements already means he's serious, :3rofl3::3rofl3::3rofl3:.

[Blanche]

Not worried too much about chlorine coffee anyway Bumps...most of it ends up on the floor like this morning:3rofl3:
Sun trying to get thru Nessa but it's broody out there...think I'll hit the shower while it's quiet. There's something spooky about standing in water with lightning flashing:3rofl3: Catch up later if the sun wins:wavey:

[Lady Bump]

Time for me to go feed the pythons and read the daily rag ..never know my name may be under the dispatched:3rofl3::3rofl3:
