[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 29605, member: 1991"] Just a quick drop in before bedtime. I know, I'm late again, but "The Birdcage" is on TV and I like that movie; almost as much as the original French "La Cage Aux Folles". The winds and spattering of rain have been noisy outside, the temperature has dropped 12 degrees C outside. Sdr, we don't QUITE live on an island, it is actually a peninsula but it is very isolated because the entire peninsula and surrounds are natural bushland. It's a 20 minute drive through bush to the highway, a 30 minute drive to the main shopping centre and anything between 60 minutes and 2 hours' drive to the centre of Sydney. Alternatively, it's a 20 minute boat trip "to the mainland", the boat skimming the headland so you can almost touch the mansions clinging to the cliffs. We've got estuary beaches, about 4 of them, with nearby access along the south road to some wild ocean beaches. A lot of films get made in our area because of the wild scenery. Both the recent films out kids were in, had some filming done very near to us - ironically, none of then scenes our kids were in! Our summer came in late, but is hanging on late too. I'm glad spring is starting for many of you, it's been a harsh winter for you. Even our coldest winter in our highest mountains would be a mild winters' day for many of you. TM, good on Duckie for remembering how kind the deacon was. They don't do the job for the recognition, but it's always very welcome for a job well done and often unrecognised. It's good that Duckie's memories of her great grandmother's death are such positive ones. I'm off to bed now. The election coverage is pretty much over, the Labor government is back in with a still strong but decreased majority. The Liberal leader is claiming to have done well by achieving the swing against Labor and patting himself on the back for a good campaign - maybe he will still be leader after Monday. I've turned off election coverage when I could but "newsbreaks" give us saturation coverage on all networks sometimes. Good night, all. Marg [/QUOTE]
