A big Aussie "G'day !"
Love to crochet; not brilliant. I use the hook like single needle knitting; but I get there in the end.
Looking forward to summer, when my rather large marmalade mog won't want to sit on my lap !

Hi M-R,
Welcome. I guess I'm little slow. What do you mean by 'G' day?

M-R, Welcome to the forum nice to have an Aussie join us. What is the time difference between the states and Australia currently where you are living? I guess you all will be starting your summer and we are stating our winters.

Thanks very much, Spoula !
We have this very morning switched to Eastern Daylight Saving Time - the 'EDST' is to be seen in most of the eastern half of Oz until the beginning of April next.
Seeing as how the enormous US is broken up into several time zones - six, I think - I can't say what the difference is between the south-east coastal part of Australia (where I am to be found) and you !
Pick a zone and I'll be able to ...

Lived in Sydney for 41 years:came down to Geelong (south-west of Melbourne - Victoria's second-largest centre) late April last year.
15 hours ahead of you, eh ? - but then, we're ahead of everyone except the Kiwis and the various Pacific Islanders. We are VERY superior. Not.

Hello again, That is funny. A long time ago when I was working. I had some clients in Australia and I was on call and since you all are ahead of us in time I had my office telephone forwarded to my home phone. Oh boy. I received calls all night long. The clients didn't realize at the time I was the only one working with them. They woke my babies up all the time. I think at the time it was 16 hours difference then 14 hours different in time. It had to do with the winter and summer time changes. Anyway I love your accent. Only Paul Hogan thinks we speak funny. I love that guy.
