awful awfully good time.

I don't know what to tell you about them.. First of all I arrived at Marg's place, And I was attacked as she ran at me to give me a big hug.. Her hubby refused to give me a hug hello something about grease on his hands.... Then as I was thinking it was time to go and pick up Janice and Steve they rang to us their train would not be getting in until 11.30pm.... Then they rang again just as I was about to leave to tell me it would not get in until about 1.30am.... Really how inconvenient were they... Then they made me stay up until five am to talk to them when they arrived.. I could not believe it. oh yeah and of course Janice and Steve attacked us all with hugs too.. I mean these guys all of them were just full of it (hugs that is), hugs and tears all round really... When I finally did get to bed, marg made me sleep in a bed that was so dam comfortable I actually slept in until 10.30am... And would you believe it Janice and Steve actually had the nerve to bring me four Jars of Vegimite, some Freddo frogs and Caramello koala's.. I mean the nerve of them. MY favorites... On the second day there we had dinner at around not sure but I think dinner came out of the oven at about 10.30pm because the two women just talked and talked.. I could not get a word in edge wise really it was just amazing... Oh did I mention the bloody chair? You need a permit to ride that thing... You sit on it, and you pull a cord and it flings you to the other side of the room. If you are lucky enough to stay on it, it is soooooo comfortable, getting off it well that was just as amusing as trying to stay on it when you pull the cord to get the leg rest out.. Oh they had a good laugh at me there too...

Don't get me started on their husbands...... When I rang to tell them I was home, Steve actually asked me if I looked after his car. Hr..e is planing on trading my car for his tracto. And well Marg's hubby he just kept teasing me about being on the French side of the boarder and he just put in an order for apple pie and smoked meat on my return trip... So I think that means I am allowed to go back. Oh and marg's hubby cooks to it is true.. Yep

We had bacon and eggs for breakfast every morning, I think they were trying to make me fatter, and because I was given Vegimite I was forced to eat it so I did not seem to rude. And after our late dinner Marg made me drink a glass of drink rum, and even forced Janice to drink one too... I think they allowed me to go to bed at about 2.30am that night.

To sum up the whole weekend, I just love the four of them. They are welcome in my house anytime.... And I will be returning... And the bit about not getting a word in edge wise.. Have to admit that I did a lot of the talking if not most... They are as caring as you all believe them to be, and their husbands are not much different.. Although Marg's gave me a bit of a hard time, I may be scared for life, but I believe there are people I can see to help me with that. I must say I am really looking forward to meeting their kids too...     And I really did not mind at all picking them up as late as I did. I had a blast and would not have done the trip any different other then to try and help their train get in earlier so they could get off it as they had been on it such a long time....

Marg even went out of her way to order a boomerang for Francis from Australia, and a lovely plate for me with a beautiful little drawing of eucalyptus and gum nuts on it... How sweet was that... Janice and steve well the vegimite is more then a pleasure (Marg even said it was NOT BAD). And the chocolates I am sure will be leaving tomorrow due to people eating them. And my little koala every time i text someone on my phone from Jancie is just lovely. These guys really are down to earth people and I love em...

Also I'd like to just say.. NA na na na na... :) I met them and I have no photos so you'll just have to wait. My batteries ran out just as I was about to click one off...

And to you all sitting around at Maarrrggggg's place.. I really really enjoyed myself, it was an absolute pleasure meeting you all. And I am so glad I got the chance too..

Now I think it is time for bed....

PS: Francis came good after I took him for a drive around in the car with the windows down a tad.. He refused to take his pump so I made him stay outside for a bit, he came good.. So there was no need to go to the hospital..

Thank you for a most enjoyable weekend.... And I will be back with apple pie and smoked meat......

And when I get to Kempsy i will be going up your way Janice just you try and stop me....
