What a nice surprise, Jessica. Thanks for your heartfelt message. The extra effort you have taken means a lot to me. If I managed to get across what you are describing, I'd be pleased. Your words are spot-on. After so many years with her in the centre of our life, everything reminds us of her and a number of things will be left as they are just in remembrance of her. She's been cremated separately and her ashes are going to be buried on our ground.Sorry to hear this Thomas. I can tell by the pics that she was one of the family. Well loved and cared for. May she rest in peace

With humidity being so low, there can't be so many thunderstorms then. Is that right?

Not much thunderstorms in our Summer months except when a cyclone comes from the north sliding down partially to Perth. Then the weather can be unbearable and my evaporative air conditioner just makes it worse.
That's a lovely gesture Thomas, burying her ashes in your garden will mean she's never going to leave you. There's nothing like the pain of losing a beloved dog. It's coming up to 10yrs now since my little Pumpkin left me and there's not a single day that I don't think about her. She was cremated too, her ashes scattered in the woodland where she loved to explore,
Ahh thanks Zman! I missed you guys too! I've got a lot of catching up to do.

8 weeks after my injury I'm still slowly healing and no surgery thank goodness.
Great your fractured wrist and head wound are well on the mend too.
As an old fellow myself I know now it takes longer to heal as we get older...
My walking wounded Pool/Billiards crew are testimony to that.
Best wishes to you and your mum.

She's good sweetie thanks for asking, the old biddy is still alive and kicking although a bit unsteady on her feet these days but she's still going good for her age.How are your mums legs nowZman ?
I remember you saying she had a burst vessel or ulcer which caused a lot of blood loss. Hope she's ok now!

I do.Guys, Richie has had a fall on his wet decking in his garden while tending to his pooches, he's not seriously injured but does have a sprained wrist and cuts and bruises. Join me in sending our best wishes to him.
I'd missed his posts here. Get better soon, Richie.

Take care and recover well Craig. Nothing broken at least. 
A RN nurse friend gave me the bruise cream below for my shoulder.
It helped a bit in conjunction with anti-inflametories.
Heat or cold packs too.
Antiseptic and bandages on your wounds of course.
As an old chalkie I did several first aid courses. Basic first aid only.
We're about the same age and slowing down in many ways. Reactions and balance for sure, memory, ... I heard we Elder ones are quite prone to falling over, as I know well, and it can be quite serious with our britteler bones, ...
An older old mate aged then 76 fell in a whisky haze and broke his hip. He died three weeks later. That was about 15 years ago.
I've even put in some sturdy steel wall grips, just in case. I initially tried suction handles in my shower but they were unreliable and hence useless and even dangerous!

Your crew will soon be back on their feet!
My mum is up and about now too after her hip replacement, she's done really well
We used that term too here, old biddy, said with affection of course!
Great that your mum is doing well, some flowers for her

It is. My daughter sent it to me from Queensland without any comment.It's looks like an Australian or New Zealand sign to me
I'd love to pet a koala bear, such gorgeous little creatures.
