Kathryn and I have decided it is time for another Perth catch up. It will be on a Tuesday or a Friday. Does anyone have anywhere they think would be nice? Who can make it?
-
I was thinking perhaps we could choose a suitable place from here (http://www.acoffeeinthepark.com)
That way we would have coffee, park for those that need it, catch up, yummy TMX food and best of all TMX company - what more could you ask for I say :D
-
What a great idea Kathryn - with the amount of people you get at your get-togethers you need something like that.
-
I stumbled across this website a little while ago JD and bookmarked it. We often use it as a nice change for somewhere to go on the weekend for the kids as you don't always know about the good parks in other areas!!
-
Great idea. If it is a Friday I will be there.
-
Let's try to make it a Friday then. Any suggestions for the place from Kathryn's great list. Perhaps something central for everyone.
-
Sounds good.I've looked at Kathryn's list and although I know several of the places have decided it would be best left to those with little ones to decide where is best. Anywhere will be OK with me. Have chair- will travel :D :D
-
Oooh, have fun you guys, wish I could come join in!! We'll have to have one up here sometime! :)
-
bumping - do we have any other takes before the school holidays. I know it has been a really long term and everyone is tired! Just another reason to have a catch up, revitalise and also relax for a couple of hours. Do you think I am keen lol??!! :)
-
I am keen ;D just depends on the day. I have a 1pm appointment this Friday and 10am next Friday. I have a copy of the new Asian cook book ;) you could take a squiz at 8)
-
I woudl love to catch up with you guys - I would be in for a day next term. We are of to Sydney sooon for Easter and I have a lot on before we go.
Looking forward to meeting you all
Hally
-
Anymore takers? Meagan we'll have to fit you in, so that we can see the Asian book.
Let's see. 8th Meagan is busy.
15th Meagan busy at 10a.m
22nd is Good Friday.
Meagan would you be able to make it a little later on 15th, or is that completely out for you? We really only have 8th or 15th before the holidays.
-
Have to count me out. I'd be good for sometime after Easter in the school hols, but am flat out until then.
-
Cookie I can do morning before 1pm this Friday, say 9.30ish. I won't have my boys they are in child care on a Friday. I guess it doesn't matter if we don't go to a park if it is just us ??? Without kids in tow?
-
Sounds good Meagan.
Shall we say this Friday about 9.30 at ..........................? Someone pick a place I've been bossy enough. ;) ;) ;)
Is that ok with you Kathryn and VHJ?
Anyone else?
-
I'm waiting to see the place, so then I'll try and fit the time in :D
-
Ok park or cafe
-
This Friday is good for me. I am happy to go wherever so will leave the venue up to those who have a need to nominate because of kids / work/ etc.
-
What about that park that we met at cookie that time it was just you, me and the kids? They have a little cafe for coffee and then if people with kids want to come there is the playground near by. Is that too far for you Kathryn? Tomato lake??
-
will you be at the cafe or what is the name of the nearest street where you'll be sitting?
-
Last time we sat quite near the cafe CP63 under a lovely big tree.
-
Have a lovely time. Next time anyone thinks about a get together, can they give about 2 weeks notice? Then, maybe I can get there. Certainly can't plan anything if it's going to be in a few days time. :-*
-
This is a rush one MJ before the school holidays. Are you coming up at all in the holidays?
-
OK let's see if I've got it correct. This Friday, 9.30am Tomato Lake. Hope to see lots of people.
-
;D as long as that suits everyone :-)) I will be there ;)
-
I hope to be there as long as I look at my post it note on the desk. I will look for a red lake that looks like soup, right? :D
-
Not planning to come to Perth in the holidays, cookie1, but I would have made time for a get together.
Never mind, next time!! ;D
-
I will be there.
If you can't find the red lake CP63 look for the group sitting under the tree sipping coffee. :D :D
-
I'm just wondering about the weather. Would you like to come to my place instead? If so I'll pm each of you my address. That is Meagan, VHJ,Kathryn and CP63. Anyone esle who'd like to come let me know.
-
what does the forecast say?
-
Just checked and it says 'mostly sunny'. So it looks like Toamto Lake I guess. See you tomorrow.
-
At ze last minute, my DH as said that we have a surprise birthday brekky for one of our close friends. I won't be coming tomorrow girls as I also have to work and 2 things in the morning is going to mean that I won't be able to do a bit before hand and will be away for half a day, will be there in spirit tho :'(
-
Thanks for the TXT Meagan :-* :-* :-* I will be there ;D
-
:D ;) I'll be there too :-*
-
Sorry you can't make it CP63. We'll think of you.
-
Lovely to see you all. Especially you CP63 who managed it after all. VHJ hope your work went well. Sometimes things just have to be done.
Tomato Lake is a lovely spot to catch up.
-
Yes was lovely to see you all and hopefully it will be a big turn out next time ;)
-
Tomato Lake is fantastic, its got it all. So easy to find as well, which is a big thing for me cos usually I get lost.
That recipe that you were saying is absolutely divine must be Chunky Beef Chilli from the 2009 calendar cookie?
Got home and emailed my consultant to put me on the list for the Asian book, so thats all sorted.
DH requested a tank loaf so I promptly got to it, but then got stuck on the emails after the first rise. As we were saying today, unfortunately I had pushed it right up next to the window to catch the last bit of sun to help heat up the tin and then I forgot about it. It was oozing out everywhere, and was stuck all over the window and in every crack and crevice possible. When I picked up the tin to whack what was left of it in the oven it felt as light as air after losing about 1/3 of the mix! Anyway it filled out the tin and I have just brought it out of the oven now -- DH will think its perfect ;)
-
Well there you go CP, proves this recipe & tin is very forgiving and I'm glad it worked out for you. What a mess to clean up though :'( :'(
-
CP, that's what I usually do! My bread looks really weird sometimes when I forget that it's rising somewhere warm.
Glad you all had a great catch up. Any photos?
-
no photo's this time - sorry :(
Those toilets are something else I tell you CP63!! There is always a first time for everything :D
-
After 2 cups of tea I really did need to go, but there was no way! I wonder how many people get caught by the "loitering alarm" ;D ;D ;D that would be sooooo funny
-
We'll have to have the next get together their and try and set off the loitering alarm. But I'm not doing it.
-
ROFL - everything is auto, including the toilet paper dispenser and not forgetting that it plays music to you :D
-
I must have missed out on that fun stuff then lol :D
-
This sounds like something funny. Will have to get someone to fill me in later. So disappointed I missed seeing you all. What a hectic day Friday turned out to be. DS1 and I were about to leave to head country to clean up my Mum's house after a breakin through the week when DS2 kicked his toe on the doorframe and lifted the whole nail off his 2nd toe as well as making a deep cut at the base of the toenail. It was really bad so off to the hospital we went. Luckily mt DH was able to meet us there so I was still able to get to mum's house and clean up. It is very hard to leave an injured child though.
-
Gosh VJH that was a bad start. Hopefully you got lots done on your Mum's place.
We had a Model A run today and the would you believe the morning tea stop was Tomato Lake. I was waiting for one of our members to go to the toilets but I didn't see anyone go. I had to stop 'loitering.'
-
Ouch, that must have hurt your poor DS VHJ - hope all is well there and you managed to clean up Mum's place OK. That would have been a distressing incident for her to have to cope with.
-
Not good news Jan :( at least you got there in the end.
-
Ouch, that must have hurt your poor DS VHJ - hope all is well there and you managed to clean up Mum's place OK. That would have been a distressing incident for her to have to cope with.
Luckily she doesn't know JD. She is living in care in Perth now so we didn't worry her about it. There wasn't a great deal of damage- just everything tossed about. We organised a skip bin & I manage to fill it in 6 hours so that tells you how much she had hoarded over the years. Anyway I am well on the way to have it cleaned ready to sell. Have been putting it off as there are so many memories attached to everything there but having 2 break-ins in 9 months is a pretty clear message that I have to get it done.
DS2 is being very brave and not complaining - even when he had to put school shoes on today for a school function
-
Sorry to hear your dear Mum needs to be in care VHJ - certainly best she doesn't hear what happened to her house. Sounds like you have did a great job in such a short time and seem to have broken the camel's back.
