I can't get my head around these international time zones, so I may be a bit early with this, but...

Hope you have a g'day!  ;D

Lucy never says any of this stuff to me. Maybe I should be grateful.

Thanks, everyone.   Great bit of photoshopping, Tom, thanks. :) I'd only been in bed about half an hour when you posted, Roger - 1.22am here according to the time stamp.  Got a bit caught up replying to emails and half watching the Tour de France - great scenery yesterday!  Knew I could sleep in a bit today.  Thank you, Lucy - I'm very grateful that you said that to me.  Thanks Lil, the day has only just begun, for me anyway - it's about half way through timewise.  It's tomorrow morning I'll be sleeping it off, though at the moment it only takes a little to put me to sleep.  ;)

Thanks, Vulch, it's a beautiful, if cool day here in ole Duffys Forest.  Will be having a quiet one, probably go for a little walk down by the beach later.  Going for dinner and the movies with the family on Tuesday evening to celebrate my and son John's birthday.  On Thursday, I'm having a celebration dinner with the girls, not so much for my birthday, but to celebrate the end of my treatment.  Several old friends are coming, some of whom I haven't seen for ages, so it should be an excellent evening.

Happy Birthday Joan!  :D

Still the 18th here for another hour and a bit, so I'm claiming punctuality (but I have been away all weekend)!

Many happy returns, Joan. I'm so glad Roger didn't tell you to "wake up down there in Duffys Forest", but I've no idea why - I just am.


I apologise, in advance.

Thanks, Jack, Diane, Bill and TT.  You are awful, TT, but I love the cake.  Are the sheep the Scottish reps?

I had a lovely rest of day yesterday.  Went for a walk with hubby along the Harbour foreshore from Fairlight to Manly, wandered round there, which proved similar to what I imagine wandering around Blackpool mid-summer is like.  All the day-trippers come on the ferry (a half hour trip from one end of the harbour to the other, highly recommended in itself, especially on a nice day, as this was) and take over the two beaches and the Corso, a pedestrian area in between the two beaches.  You wouldn't want to be going anywhere in a hurry.

My 'big' present was a mini music system with separate speakers which has an ipod dock so I can have good quality sound from all my music in the kitchen/family room.  The old system we had was knackered and the laptop speakers just don't cut it.

Few photos of our walk here:

I'm getting more than a little hacked off with people posting photos of themselves wandering round.exotic locations.
I was in Dundee on Saturday.
