Hi everyone Lovely day today here in Dunolly..Hot aand sunny.. lara Went to Eddington Cemetary and not a sign of a family headstone.In fact not many old ones at all. I feel they have all been removed as there is a large part of the cemetary that has nothing on it. Looked at every headstone and no luck,, bugger.. I am going to see the local under taker as they say he may have a list of peeps buried around here.He was not home when I went just a minute ago so I will go back and try again.If he is not any good I will go into Maryborough tomorrow and see if the Council can help me. At least I took a photo of Eddington Cemetary for you,, more later We had a nice trip down and it is so nice to see all our old friends again.. John was not so good on the first day here but he is a lot better today.Havent been out fossicking yet as I did have my batteries charged. Done that now so am ready to go when I get a chance. Everyone has been so nice and have seen some lovely nuggets that have been found recently by friends..I would like to find at least one before I have to go home next tuesday. Gave Heather a ring monday morning but she must have gone to work as there was no answer..Sorry Heather,, better luck next time..We stayed Sodens Hotel as we like the food there but the rooms are not much to write home about.. May go on further going home and stop somewhere near Tuarcutta ,will see. Hope everyone is well,and am feeling very at home back here in Dunolly Every time we walk in town we bump into someone weknow and get a big hug At the moment we are heading home tuesday and should be home wednesday.The days are going so quickly.. Will get back as soon as I can so love to all.. Love Mary xxxxxx

All the little bushies are deposited at the airport . . . goodness me we have had some redneck conversations today - some of the attitudes wouldn't last 5 mins in the city!!! Anyway - on a lighter note . . . Here is your afternoon dose of 'Gracie' enjoy the laugh . . Gracie Field Lyrics - I Took My Harp To A Party Christmas is comin', Christmas is comin' Christmas is comin' again But that never thrills me, the thought of it chills me I tell you it fills me with pain It makes me remember a Christmas gone by When I was extremely upset A night in December, an evening that I Would very much rather forget For I took me harp to a party but nobody asked me to play The others were jolly and 'earty but I wasn't feelin' so gay They might have said play us a tune we can sing But somehow I don't think they noticed the thing I took me harp to a party but nobody asked me to play So I took the darned thing away They asked Mrs Morgan to play her mouth-organ And somebody else did a dance They Let Mrs Carter perform a sonata But I wasn't given a chance A north country person called Sandy McPherson Played bagpipes and took off his coat While both the Miss Fawcetts bust out of their corsets In trying to take a top note But I took me harp to a party, nobody asked me to play The others were jolly and 'earty but I wasn't feelin' so gay I felt so ashamed at not strikin' a note That I tried to hide the thing under me coat I took me harp to a party but nobody asked me to play So I took the darned thing away They sang Home Sweet Home and The Banks of Loch Lomond And All the King's Horses, then Trees While nephews and nieces kept playin' their pieces And spreadin' their jam on the keys A daughter called Lena, played her concertina We all played ridiculous games 'Til old Mr Dyer, set his whiskers on fire And a fire engine played on the flames But I took me harp to a party but nobody asked me to play So I took the darned thing away!- Lol . . . luv Laurie

Sounds like a good excuse to me...lol Flakey

Some of the puddy tat's nortiness has rubbed off onto Lew'n Flakey. We'll have to do something about Miss Lew stampin her foot all the time. .. Ya allowed to do that in time to the music, but not in a paddy .. lol Maybe you need to go down to the clothesline in the middle of the night like Fanny does lol <for quiet time> Jood

Thanks Jood
