Welcome Pat! Wow that's a huge compliment
I'll definitely let the team know that their efforts are appreciated. We wouldn't be able to do it without lovely members like you! Can't believe you wake up so early though!!
Welcome Anne!
We'd love for you to share your answer to this icebreaker so we can get to know you better
What was your least favourite food as a child? Do you still hate it or do you love it now?
Welcome Gary!

If you had to eat one meal everyday for the rest of your life what would it be?
WelcomeKayoss here by name and nature.Kay and Ross. Greetings to all.
Are there two of you using one account or am I misunderstanding?
Good morning everyone and thanks for accepting my membership. I enjoy the newsletter and start each day ... maybe I just like struggling with the riddle. Anyway, wanted to express my surprise at how few seemed to know the meaning of 'sparrow fart'. I lived in country NSW for years and it was the accepted terminology for an early start. That expression if for me a true Australian beauty. I expect that each of us feels this way about what was predominent in our own spheres, as we should. Interesting how different and similar we all are. Have a great day everyone.

I was just saying to a friend of mine that it's amazing how all the English-speaking countries have taken the language and made it their own! We'd love to know more about you
Would you mind answering this icebreaker?What’s your favourite sandwich and why?
I've just joined today, as I've enjoyed looking at all the wonderful photos that members have posted. My name is Jackie and I live in North Lakes, which is 25 klms north of Brisbane. It's a lovely area to live in and there are lakes and nature walks galore. I'm a keen family history researcher, photographer, gardener, reader of fiction and non fiction and mostly in the winter time, (what there is of it), I knit for a charity. I love travelling around our wonderful country in our car but we won't always be able to do that of course but there are lots of opportunities to take photos then.
Mausie it sounds like you have a production line going there. Do you make them all for family and or you donate some of them? My former mother in law used to make the puddings in the cloth and she would make two huge ones every year and hang them from the door frame for a while to dry them out. One day I asked her if she had the recipe and low and behold, it was all in her head. She had never written it down. I asked her to list the ingredients for me as I wrote them and the method. A fews days later she contacted me, as she'd left out two ingredients. It was a very long list. It was fortunate that I did that with her because her daughter and grandaughters now make the pudding, which probably came with the family from England in the 1800's.
That is so beautiful. I gather that your friend is a history buff? I think you have a great future in acrylic pouring and it must be very satisfying to produce something so lovely and also a keepsake.I have taken up resin art since COVID lockdowns and am really enjoying the process. It has led me to dabbling in other abstract forms such as alcohol ink art and acrylic pouring (more affordable when learning). I hope to get good enough to hang something on my wallHere is a box I did for a friend. My first commission piece!
You're totally right! And welcome by the way
We'd love to know more about you
What’s your favourite sandwich and why?
Sure did! Lots of family and extended family, the 2 new great -grandees being thoroughly nursed by their grandparents (great-gramma wasn't bothered) plenty of food and good time had by all.
Hahaha surprisingly enough I was just having a conversation today about the fact that I've never had a sandwich like that. Apparently jam isn't the same as jelly? Either way i haven't tried either one.Peanut butter and jam ... I am Canadian you see
Sounds wonderful. Having babies around always lifts everyone's spirits. They are so adorable.
So sorry to hear about the passing of your son sending condolences to you and your family xx
In the United States I believe that all fruit condiments are referred to as jelly. In Canada, jelly can be a fruit condiment but is clear (no fruit) or a firmer jelly ... think Aeroplane jelly. Jam contains pieces of fruit. Now that I have been in Australia for so long and lived in NZ for 11 years , I sometimes struggle with the correct word to use. Jam/jelly, thongs/jandals/flipflops, shopping trolley/trundler, Vivid/Texta/Felt ... to name a few.
