did ya spring foward already? Then it would be 6pm?? LOL

Roast pork!

Spare a thought for our Lara tonight as she lives in an area that may get buffetted by a cyclone (hurricane) tonight. It's a biggie, and is already a category 5. It's called Cyclone Hamish and it looks like it will be packing a punch when it crosses.

My sister lives in an area expected to be in it's path, and Lara lives south of where it's expected to cross..... but she will still get some pretty bad weather from the rain and winds. It's travelling down the east coast of Oz, so it may even hit lower than expected.

Praying that Lara stays safe.

oh no!

Will keep positive prayers for dear Lara...

Category 5???? Yikes...

hope she'll check in when she's safe....

I remember as a kid, we get typhoons...my mom would just throw a blanket against the glass doors and my brother and I and her would put chairs against it and hold it if it shook very badly. As kids, we thought it was fun plus we know there's be no school the next day.

There was never water the next day nor electricity. And I can remember the three of us going down to the local well and there would be a line rationing out water...

I don't know why, but the memory is actually kinda bitter sweet cause I remember I would always run into my friends and we'd end up chatting and playing never noticed the worries on the adults' faces...

Yep. It's a biggie.

We don't change our clocks until the end of the month and then we go back for Autumn. Winter is definitely on it's way, and I'm certainly not looking forward to the cold days and nights.

I have to go see to dinner now, but will be back later.

enjoy the pork roast Anne, sounds great.

well, it's 3am but really 2am...

I am off to bed...

((((hugs for the broom))))

aaarrrrggghhhhh....insomnia sucks!! *bangshead...

it's almost 5am but really 4am...but was it really 5am to start with? Which came first, spring forward or fall back...

Not good Moi.

Sounds like me when I was still working shift work. If there was one night of the year that I couldn't sleep, it was always the shortest night of the year.

hi Anne,

my mind's just racing back and forth lately...

I guess I am just very anxious about the future...there are a lot of layoffs and business is slower than the tortoise...

I guess I'll now post it in the open but the grandkids are coming for good in a month and there's so much to do around the house...

but my pain levels have really risen and just got out of being sick and still not back to 100%...

sorry about the whine...been trying to keep it light but feel really anxious...guess I will have to start taking some kinda anti-anxiety meds..have been fighting them....*sigh...

how was dinner??

And also thinking about Lara...
