Good Heavens! I'm the first! It is 2211 hrs Western Standard Time here in Perth. A beautiful warm summer night.

I used to be conceited but now I'm perfect !
Good evening Wendy, I'm also from Perth.
Good night I'm off to bed.

Sooo nice to be back. Nice color.

That's funny gerald, I thought you told us recently that you were from some exotic island!!!

Magnifique image; très belle couleur; ma préférée en fait.

Enjoy that warm summer night, Wendy. We're having a deep freeze warning here this weekend!

It's 1030 hrs EST here and a snowy, blowy cold morning. Just had another 5 - 6 ins. of snow. But nice to see a flower the first thing for a puzzle.

Beautiful!

Anne - I thought Australia was an exotic island :-D

dark and windy nice to have something nice to do

Clemantis is a beautiful climber.
Lovely puzzle to do.
Grey old day here today, well, so far.

Sounds like the weather channel today. The sun is shining on Oklahoma, no snow or ice on the ground but the temperature is below freezing. I've asked this before, but I'll ask again anyway. Has anybody heard from DotCom?

Cold, gray and windy here...in the 50's here...but...it is a lot better than Chicago!

A pleasantly cool morning in Brisbane. About 24* with a strongish breeze and intermittant sunshine. Showers threatening.

All my clematis get gobbled up by earwigs! And they're supposed to be cyclical, but why do we get them every year?

Perth in Western Australia is not the only Perth in the world.

Anne, have you hugged your goldfish today? lol
(one of gerald's that we love here in the office.
Also, smile and get it over for the day and
don't let the sands of time get in your lunch, which I am heading off to have now.Adios amigos)

To contiue the weather cha is CIS cnnel talk it.s COLD !The wind is a big problem.The clematis is pretty.

Got a misspell on channel,any way you say it,itscold.

Weather report - rainy here, warm and very, very muggy!!

I think Anne I 'told' you my house is called Tonga House which I found interesting because I had worked in Tonga, or at least on three of the islands that make up Tonga.When I posted my first message only ton came up, the 'ga house' lost in cyber space.Your tone is slightly hostile.I am 63 years More...

What does amuse you Gerald?
I follow your postings with great interest.
How do you read hostility in Anne's comment?

Great photo as usual, Sue!

It's cold here and 34*. Hurry up Spring I'm ready for you. Beautiful photo

you do not amuse us Harry!!!!

Judy, she could be on holidays or just got fed up with the difficult situation recently. I think she'll turn up eventually! Hope there isn't a more serious reason!

PS love the photo, puzzle & banter..From of cause Australia is an exotic Isle! Gerald, I'm sure Anne isn't hostile, sometimes it's hard to see a smile in the written word - I'm smiling at the moment,too!

PPS cause = course!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Kate!
