Her mother lives near her, EDO, not in that other dreaded place!  Wash your mouth out!  She must have been away for a bit.

Well Kaza,

There are all of those 'inviting' places that I mentioned in earlier posts!!!

Wouldn't your Mother be thrilled to spend an hour or 2 enjoying her Sunday??

Edo, my mother is as 'well bred' as I am ........ she lives next door to me in the Granny Flat.   She'd been over to UK for a funeral ....... but she came back .. . . ..    ;D

Kazza, bring your Mum and I'll bring my Mum and they can sit together and have a whinge about all the time we spend looking for ..  . and I quote .. .. "Those dead people"

Thank you for the exercise in Demography, Barbara::

I was worried that you may have had your roots in  the nether lands to the south!!!

Hey, MarieC told me about this, being another Toowoomba-ite.. is that a word? lol.

I am not sure *how* I can get to Brisbane from Toowoomba - bus or something.. but I really want to come.

I haven't been to the State Library before, and I am really looking forward to this.

G'day, Jenny!

If I drive you can certainly come with me.  Still considering that - very bad at driving in Brisbane when I don't know where I am going!!  :o  Otherwise, I'll know what buses we can catch!

The State Library is magnificent, in a word.  Makes you proud to be a Queenslander (like many other things!)

Will be back in touch with you soon about our Toowoomba miniscule meet, now that the trauma of the root canal procedure is subsiding!  Doesn't look as though anyone wants to join us...
