Hi Janet,
I don't think Len would have been affected as he lives in southern Queensland. Probably didn't get anything more than a rain storm. As to Pete, I don't know where he lives, so can't say. Do you know what town or city he is near? Judanne Tassie (definitely NOT tropical) "Janet Baraclough" wrote in message ... The message from "George.com" contains these words: Is there any life on this newsgroup or simply the same old crep posting chatroom ********? Yes, quite a few old posters here still look in occasionally. I've been wondering if Pete and Len have been hit by the cyclone in Queensland..does any one know? Janet (Scotland) |

g'day george,
at present i drop in very occassionaly just to see if there is still a pulse, i don't visit as regular becaue we are transitioning between properties and are living in temp accommodation and using someone elses computer. no the cyclone did not affect us (barely got more than showers out of it) it affected fairly small communities to our far north, we do need a cyclone to cross the coast somwhere south of bowen and down to about bundaberg or even rocky, this is needed to provide good flood tropical rains to the west of the state and into the center of australia. so we where all hoping cyclone 'wati' might do that but at present it has other ideas. see plot map: http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDQ65004.shtml pete lives in south aus' not sure what he is up to somehow things went wrong here and lots just simply left, me i got not much else to do at times so i look in just to see. anyhow if you have anything you want to broach post it here or if you wish visit me at my web site and chat through e/mail. http://www.users.bigpond.com/gardenlen1/ len "George.com" wrote in message ...

Hi Len
It probably fits into Victoria!! I find it hard now to comprehend how small some European countries are. About 20 years ago I was asking my ex mum-out-law (we were de-facto) about Holland, her home country, and she said "Imagine twice the population of Australia in half the size of Tasmania". Mind boggling! Her rellies in Holland thought that she was rich because they owned a home AND it wasn't an apartment AND it had a garden (in Toowoomba). Judanne "gardenlen" wrote in message u... g'day janet, we are moving back to the 'burbs northern side of brissy the capitol. yes qld a big place coast line almost 1/2 the length of the east coast of australia, so when something ahppens in the top 1/2 we don't even know down this end. can't remember but does most of great britain fit into qld not sure??? len snipped |

Well many of the old faces reappear! Hello to all of you. I see Len
and Chookie occasionally in aus.gardne ng. It's Fran here using a new sig block. So what is everyone up to permie wise? I'm doing sod all in the garden these days but watering and a bit of tidying stuff. We came out of the drought with a great spring but then the grasshoppers and locusts arrived. They ate and ate and ate. They stripped roses and 2 apple trees bare and lots of other things as well which they killed by denuding them. My lemon had no leaves and they even tried to eat the stems. I nearly lost it and only now is it producing new leaves and precious few of them. With winter about to start, I'll have to protect it from the frosts and hope it makes it thorugh to next spring. When the hoppers finally began to eat down into the crowns of my rhubarb plants, I finally bought some huge plastic pots and transplanted a few things into them - just a few picking greens and herbs and my favourite rhubarb plant. These plants have all survived well but as the pots live on the verandah and we still have grasshoppers, I'm refusing to do anything till next spring when hopefully the sods will have disappearred. I'll spread soem amnure on the veg beds but I thinkt hat is about all I'll do between now and the next planting season (but I couldn't resist ordering some prune trees and some roses to fill a few drought induced gaps). |

Nice to hear of you Len and good to hear that you found a buyer. I see you round in some of the other ngs but these days I'm probably doing more reading than posting. Hope all goes well with the birth and the move. |
