Hello


Sparky I was hoping he would come over but he just looked at us, sniffed the air, am sure he knew us and then let me take his pic before he wandered off with the girls.


The difference between a Kangaroo and a wallaby is size, wallabies are much smaller and the nose is broader and shorter. Wallabies are widely distributed across Australia, particularly in more remote, heavily timbered, or rugged areas.
Kangaroos are more widely found on the great semi-arid plains because they are larger, leaner, and more fleet-footed than Wallabies.


Hi everyone. I hope you all have had a wonderful Easter.
Everyone here is fine and kicking along well.

Sparky is having a wonderful time in an enclosure with all females at the Zoo.
The weather is cooling down and we are all hoping for rain and lots of it. The drought has got everyone down and we are all tired of brown grass although much better than the burnt foliage that is very prominent at the moment.

Cassie and Esch are fighting fit and Kirsten has turned 18 years old. She now has her drivers licence and has moved out of home.
It frightened me at first that she wanted to leave home so soon but I know she will be fine and she hasnt moved far.
My father has cancer and she moved in with him. Not because he needs anyone to assist him but because she wants to spend as much time as possible with him. They are and have always been inseperable.
I am hoping she will move back in time but I kow she wont. She is far too independant and self reliant. I am proud to have raised her to be able to stand on her own but the mothe rin me is slapping myself for it.
I do worry she is burning the candle not only at both ends but in the middle as well.
She is in her final year of school and we all know that is full of study during and after school as well as in your dreams, but she is also busy with her horses and riding lessons for children, she has 3 students she is teaching music to after school and on weekends and also a part time job at a hardware store of all places and then she has her music studies and the Youth Orchestra on top of it all.
I dont know how she does it but she is never contactable.
I didnt get to see her for Easter, and I never got to see her for her birthday. She had a "party" with her friends, organised all the details herself. I have spoken to her and she said she had a wonderful time with 2 of her closest friends when the others left.
She popped in briefly to collect her birthday present but I wasnt at home so she grabbed the gift and left me a note LOL. It has hurt a little as I wanted to give her a nice party but she is happy.
She is looking at buying herself a small 2 bedroom unit close to the stables. So I am hoping to at least help her out with that, if she will let us. Still no boyfriend and still not interested. Smart girl!!

So all my children are now considered adults.
This is the time for me apparently. But what am I going to do with this time.
I am single, available as always and still overly fussy.
My work is keeping me incredibly busy. I am surprised at how many people contact me in a week for wedding ceremonies. I am starting to turn people away because I have bookings now a year in advance.

A celebrant isnt a great way to meet other singles. Most weddings I am invited to attend the reception afterwards but have to refuse so I can move on to the next ceremony. By the end of the day a party is the last thing I want to be going to so I am home and beleive it or not usually in bed by 11.

I miss chatting with everyone on here so much and think of everyone often. I hope you are all happy and healthy.

Sparky is getting to be a big fella, eh.

It is hard to believe that Kirsten is 18. I remember you talking about her in chat and she was just a kid. Time surely does fly.

I know it is hard to see them go but you have the comfort of knowing you did a great job with her and she will make the right decisions.

It sounds like you are incredibly busy. Hope to see you around more.

Sparky looks happy in with those female Roo's. Glad he is doing well there.

I understand the feelings you are going thru with your daughter moving out. As you described before she is very independent. She will do well.

Hugs to you Aus.
