Title: Hi from Australia
Post by: Annie22 on April 04, 2010, 01:29:45 pm

Hi all was looking around the site and thought I would join.  We have a farm in Victoria, in the yarra ranges/valley.  On the farm we have cattle, pigs, chickens, goats, horses and a dog.  Happy easter and hope everyone has a good time.

Hi Mirimaran we are in autumn here so the weather is slowly starting to get chilly.  Think at this moment in time you are better off waiting for summer ;D.

Hi Wizard, behaving yourself then ;)  Sandy we are about four hundred kilometers below the blue mountains, just to give you an indication.  It's cloudy here at the moment.  Victoria isn't as warm as the rest of Australia, but warmer than Tasmania.

Hi Wizard, How's Kath going?  Richard's fine he's working 7 days a week at the moment.  Poor boy I hurt my back yesterday, due to contrary piglets.  Decided it was time they left their mother alone, paddocks already for them, they break out all the time, not this time, they wouldn't come out, so I lifted up the pig proof gate, next minute I heard a sound similar to electricity and the pain hit.  Anyway I woke up about 3.30am, got up with difficulty, got out side for a ciggy (naughty me), felt hot all over, went back inside, went to get the thermometer, heard a thud wondered where it came from and I was on the floor, the thud was me fainting :dunce:, called out for Richard, so the poor boy didn't get much sleep last night and had to get up for work this morning.

Yes Wizard, you must have a big hammer, you hit the nail right on the head.  Except last night I watched primeval, which I don't mind watching.

Hello Anne-Marie I don't like that one when it came out the swimpool it made both Kath and I jump.I'm more into Fred Dibnah and such like The proper stories and of course Michaela and others that walk round Britain.Be a big programme walking round Au I think xxxx

Post by: Annie22 on April 07, 2010, 08:54:54 am

Yes it would Wizard, I'm tired just thinking about it.  Sometimes you need a bit of fantasy in your life hey Gandalf.  The other night I tried to watch I'm a celebrity get me out of here on UKTV.  After 10 mins I said "I'm sane and rational get me out of here".  Oops  Anyway I've got to feed the animals and then the horses, pigs and chickens :D

Does Richard and the lass know you refer to them as the animals Anne-Marie ;D ;D

Title: Re: Hi from Australia
Post by: Annie22 on April 07, 2010, 01:22:54 pm

Actually Wizard Richard is the one who started it.  One day I said I was going to feed the animals and he said but are you going to feed the horses as well,  our daughter glared at him, so it is an ongoing joke.
