09:58:00 <TruLady> morning glenn how r u
09:59:00 <Glenn> Hey Tru! Was just doing some study/preparation for classes... wet down your way too?
09:59:00 <TruLady> has bee
09:59:00 <TruLady> n
09:59:00 <TruLady> lol
09:59:00 <TruLady> bucketed down last night
09:59:00 <Glenn> Gotta go to the Auctions this morning... and perhaps get myself a new washing machine.
10:00:00 <TruLady> really...did yours die??
10:01:00 <Glenn> Just finished putting tiles down on the laundry floor... the present machine has a leak. Water gets into the gearbox, then sprayed everywhere... made a real mess 'cos I had no idea what was going on.
10:01:00 <Glenn> The machine still workes perfectly. Will send it back to the Auctions (I bought it there for $120.00 four years ago) as a "trade-in".
10:02:00 <Glenn> There's a couple of brand new machines up there this morning... one retails for $589 and the other for $899... at Harvey Norman prices.
10:04:00 <TruLady> ooooo
10:04:00 <Glenn> Was an awful job getting the old vynil off the laundry floor... was glued using contact cement. The wet areas lifted easily, but the other areas had to be scraped off using an old chisel... too a week! :((
10:04:00 <TruLady> and you don't want that do you
10:05:00 <Glenn> Had to then dry out the concrete floor... had fans and heaters going in the laundry most of last week....
10:05:00 <Glenn> ..and the whole house stamp of damp mushrooms... :(((((((
10:05:00 <TruLady> and the electricity bill hey..lol
10:05:00 <Glenn> ...er, stank....
10:05:00 <TruLady> pewwwk hey..lol
10:06:00 <Glenn> ...as in stinked, stunk... etc...
10:06:00 <TruLady> LOLOL
10:06:00 <TruLady> not nice
10:06:00 <TruLady> so how is the lovely Muffy
10:06:00 <Glenn> No.. not good.

10:07:00 <Glenn> ...talk about having a "bad hair day"...
10:07:00 <TruLady> have to come down over the holidays to see you
10:07:00 <TruLady> and don't you hate bad hair days..lol
10:07:00 <Glenn> Should be around.. have no plans at present...
10:08:00 <TruLady> ohh good
10:09:00 <Glenn> Should have the dunny floor re0tiled by then... soon as I can figure out how to cut the tiles to fit around the dunny base... no probs cutting straight lines...
10:09:00 <TruLady> haha..I was looking at mine the other day too
10:10:00 <TruLady> and it looks like I'd almost have to take the dunny out.....cos they are underneath
10:10:00 <Glenn> I'm putting down "Sahara Sandstorm" floor tiles.. from Bunnings... at about $1.80 each.
10:11:00 <TruLady> so in the loo and the laundry??
10:11:00 <Glenn> ...mmmmmm... that's not too bad... just unscrew the base from the floor... then CARFULLY slide away from the pipe through the wall. The have a rubber seal.
10:12:00 <TruLady> brb have to go get chris from work
10:12:00 <Glenn> ...then the bathroom. Major problem there to solve... a water leak in behind the wall somewhere...
10:12:00 <Glenn> OK
10:12:00 <TruLady> its ok..Striker is gonna get him
10:14:00 <TruLady> Chris went out last night....came home around 2...and got up for set up at Macdonalds..and he just rang cos he's finished his shift
10:14:00 <TruLady> so I think he will sleep all day now
10:14:00 <TruLady> as per usual
10:15:00 <TruLady> I think I have some sort of borers in my big gum tree out back too :(((
10:19:00 <Glenn> ...back.
10:20:00 <TruLady> I didn't go..lol
10:20:00 <Glenn> Went and brushed the dog...
10:20:00 <TruLady> lol
10:20:00 <Glenn> ...mmmm... borers in a gum tree ain't good. They have a nasty habit of falling in storms...
10:20:00 <TruLady> poor Muffy..lol

10:21:00 <TruLady> :(( I meant
10:21:00 <Glenn> She's getting a little bit toey.. knows today is Sunday... and that's when we go to see my mother.
10:21:00 <TruLady> hahaha
10:21:00 <TruLady> a creature of habit
10:21:00 <TruLady> its my tallest gum tree too :((
10:21:00 <TruLady> a red flowing gum
10:22:00 <Glenn> She goes absolutely ballistic... and my mother doesn't help... by spoiling her...
10:22:00 <Glenn> ...mmmm... that's a pit...
10:22:00 <Glenn> +y
10:22:00 <TruLady> hahaha ...so your mum is ok now??
10:22:00 <Glenn> Yes... she's fine now thanks... better than she's been for many years... :))
10:22:00 <TruLady> thats wonderful.....was worth all the worry then...
10:23:00 <Glenn> Yeah... though didn't need the worry....
10:23:00 <TruLady> maybe I'm just a worry wort..lol
10:23:00 <TruLady> so now word from Ying at all??
10:23:00 <TruLady> now = no
10:23:00 <Glenn> Well, if your tree falls... where is it likely/possible to fall... your house or the neighbours?
10:24:00 <TruLady> nop..leans into my garden..its right up the back
10:24:00 <TruLady> won't fall on a thing except lawn
10:24:00 <Glenn> I went around yesterday 'cos it was Lulu's birthday. Didn't even see Ying.. Lulu came to the door and to her credit, did invite me in. I declined and explained to her later that it would be better if her mother did that..
10:25:00 <TruLady> :(((
10:25:00 <Glenn> Lulu spent most of the day around here.
10:25:00 <TruLady> really??
10:25:00 <TruLady> so where was Ying??
10:26:00 <TruLady> Glenn...you are one of natures true genlemen you know..I admire you greatly
10:26:00 <Glenn> I offered to leave Muffy aound there for the morning, but seems that Muffy wasn't too happy about that as soon after I got home, Lulu 'phoned and asked if she could bring the dog back
10:26:00 <TruLady> Muffy isn't used to being there now is she
10:26:00 <Glenn> Ying stayed at home... "doing homework" according to Lulu. Lulu left here at about 6pm.
10:27:00 <Glenn> No... she's getting a little too attached to me now... may or may not be a good thing. I felt a bit sorry for Lulu though...
10:28:00 <TruLady> ahh well she is your dog
10:29:00 <Glenn> Just watching the tennis.. seeing as the Sunday programme has finished. Was thinking that Serena Williams is wasting her time wearing a tennis dress... does absolutely nothing for modesty.
10:30:00 <Glenn> ...or is that Venus Williams...
10:31:00 <Glenn> ...nah... 'tis Serena Williams.. the other one (Venus) is holding in there...
10:32:00 <TruLady> lolol
10:32:00 <TruLady> the dresses are different these days hey
10:32:00 <Glenn> ...er, yeah...
10:32:00 <Glenn> More a token gesture I'd say..
10:33:00 <TruLady> I don't mind different styles...but I think...they have to be nice
10:34:00 <Glenn> Well, I gotta go now... take care and have a great Sunday! :)))
10:34:00 <Glenn> See ya!
10:34:00 <TruLady> take care Glenn :)))
