Today on Penguin Island, just off the coast of Rockingham [southern area of Perth, WA]

Thank you for the kind wishes troops. It's weird I didn't have a lot of contact with Jack as he wasn't my relative, apart from when he used to come to pick up my brother and meeting him at various functions later in life, but I feel as if it's another connection with my mother and that whole era of my childhood back in the 60's and 70's severed. I do feel rather sad that he has gone and I'm glad we got to see him one last time this year.

Right I had better start thinking about the trip to Coventry tomorrow. At least we are not leaving until the afternoon so I will have time to sort out everything for the Old Soldier before I go as I'm leaving Cadet Huw in charge. It's such a pain that the graduation ceremony is at 10.30am otherwise we could have just gone up for the day. When you think of all the traffic that will be arriving at the same time and having to find somewhere to park I didn't fancy being stuck in a traffic jam for hours in rush hour traffic.



Just editing to say what a great photo Private Mcc2 - now you have really made us all jealous !

I think I missed hitting the 'post' button this morning, as I am sure I reported for duty at the usual hour. Still, you must have found the tea and coffee or there would have been a search party trying to locate the key for the extra special ingredient. I am just waiting now for the carer and then I can stop watching the clock till tomorrow. in the meantime, I will play with some new cutting dies that came yesterday, or I might start putting ornaments into boxes as OH has been persuaded that our sitting room needs painting. We didn't do that when we moved (now 4 years ago. Where did the time go?) It shouldn't take too long as we have tall bookshelves one side and we won't be moving those. Enjoy the graduation, Sarge

Meebo I need to learn about these machines as i want to make things doll house size of 6th scale doll size, like flowers and leaves in thin sort of plasticy stuff for leaves and flowers etc in fabric and or that mulberry paper, what is the best thing to buy for what I want. I know penni has one that doesn't need dies so i will ask penni as well

Lieutenant Maplegin what would I do without you and your wise words ?!

Buttons, I have one with dies, though I can see the advantage of a computerized one if you want to do lots of different sizes
