  • Hi everyone, it has been a long time since I last posted an item on Shoutbox but I am very enthusiastic about being back here again. Just browsing some of the posts to get back into the swing of things I’ve come to realise I am going to have to brush up on fahrenheit/celsius equivalents in order to appreciate the temperatures that you…

    • Welcome back to shoutbox, I enjoyed reading your post, can I ask you? Did you emigrate to Oz or were you born and bred in your beautiful country.

    • bob_deb, Welcome . Remember there are no special rules in the Shout group :just civilized behavior like anywhere else. I love to learn and prefer the local words and customs. I am glad I learned some words before everything went proper or formal, or whatever it is called.

    • Just a stones throw from our son’s home is a massive recreational reserve. It is an oasis of lush vegetation, a creek and lagoon, waterfowl and walking tracks within the urban landscape. I am a regular visitor to the reserve and took the camera with me today to record and share with you just some of the beauty of this magnificent spot.

    • Millie the sock snatcher

      We are staying with our youngest son and his partner (of 32 years!) whilst on the Gold Coast. They have a cat named “Millie” who heads off each day and generally returns with a sock between her jaws. We have no idea how far she wanders in search of a sock (and rarely anything other than a sock) but she manages to find one somewhere. They now…

    • @Rob Hi Rob, I am fairly sure that you are the Chatters co-ordinator and, if so, would like to draw your attention to my name being shown in full in the ‘featured chatters’ list. I’m not particularly concerned, it is no drama at all, but does look out of place amongst all the other pseudonyms. I used an Android device to access Chatters for… Read more

      • @bob_deb I dont think Rob has seen this. So I have emailed him. Hope that’s ok

        • Many thanks grandmaj. It doesn’t really concern me but I feel much more comfortable as plain old “bob deb”. In truth, if I was in a room full of people and someone called out “Robert” it would go straight over my head. Call out “Bob” and I would look up immediately.

        • Please bear with me, I am using an Android tablet on Chatters for thr 1st time and getting myself into all sorts of bother! Hoping I can work my way into it, my old eyes are aint no good for this sort of thing any more. We received news last week that the parents of our great granddaughter have accepted a work transfer to the Queensland…

        • Our Week

          It is Friday 17th, the last day of a relaxing one week break at the beautiful beach resort of Nambucca Heads. Great weather for the first few days but yesterday was extremely windy, even the pelicans were grateful for any bit of ‘terra firma’ they could get a grip on. By contrast, today is as calm as a millpond, the boats are out and…

        • Digital Imaging

          With our only great grandchild a ten hour drive away, every photo is as precious as diamonds. We were recently emailed this photo of her beautiful smile but the image was in need of some enhancement to bring out the best in it. Digital imaging came to the rescue and it was enhanced/manipulated in a number of stages. Although the end result is…

        • @scorpio – Our last farewell. Since learning of the imminent passing of a great friend of more than twenty years we have been regularly visiting him at his home and have witnessed his declining condition. Last Thursday it was obvious that this would almost certainly be the last occasion and, as we shook hands, I wished him a safe journey… Read more

          • You are most welcome Bob most welcome. I am just pleased I was able to help in some small way.
