 @val! Dang, Jo, I thought y'all mostly spoke English over there. How'd y'all manage to turn afternoon into arvo?  I may be able to understand if there were a 'v' in 'afternoon'.

It depends on how thickly we apply our accents.  One thing is for sure, if it's a long word there is often an Aussie shortening. ;D |

We have a lot of words like that, I could have entire convo's with Jo, that would not be understood by you all!

I found this: ;D www.koalanet.com.au/australian-slang.htmlAlthough, it seems it would be difficult for chickens to break down an outhouse.  It'd have to be a BIG load of'em! |

The original saying is 'emus' but I thought I would change it to chooks. |

Yep, that's what we have. Your hair? Gosh, you should see MINE!  Mine is a frizzy mess these days, even after combing it.  |

So is mine! All on top and nothing seems to help. I blame my pills because I don't know what else caused it!
Anyway it's Thursday!! You know what that means? DH is on his way home and hopefully he will get back in time to check our PO Box. *rubs hands*

Is it just the Aussies that don't have it yet? I was going to comment on what else Tina sent, but I didn't want to ruin the surprise for everyone else!
