Toothbrush plea

Marcus and Dore still need your toothbrushes. I love these pix (taken by Linus). Shaggy dogs can be dropped at the East Gippsland Art Gallery, Bairnsdale; the Metung Store, Haiq/Purpose , Lakes Entrance; our 'the house' in Nowa Nowa.

Jade Pegler is coming soon. And this is what she does! (gorgeous huh?)

Jade will start work on October 1 @ the Nowa Nowa Community Room. Hope some of you can come along for some of the time. It would be great to have a few people each day - to help constuct the Botanical Wunderkammer.

AND don't forget Nowa Nowa @ the House Day on Saturday October 6. 11am . The usual get together + Jade!

(oh and she is here for 2 weeks until Oct 12) All welcome. Free to participate. Ladies bring a plate.

I have recently awoken from blog hibernation , hi again to all I see Ange has been carrying on the mantra ,keeping all up to date with the doings and going ons. I see the open for inspection sign is up and apparently Bob ( not bothering to read the small print ) has done exactly that, seemingly quite proud on whats on offer, though Josie is doing the best to avert her eyes and Kates kids aren't. So thanks Bob for the show of support and exercising your auctioneers technique we cant wait for the bidding to start.
It has also become apparent (view last two photos) that some smarty pants has been mucking with the skies around Nowa Nowa thats all very noice and all and lovely for the tourist, But it is a little confusing for the local inbibers of substances of dubious origin who reckon Nowa Nowa has never seemed more normal ,this is not an attitude we like to promote in town and call on the perpertrator to cease immidiately or face the consequences of community spirit and harmony.
For those of us who understand that communities work best with a feck the rest of you attitude ,keep the good work up, I'm going to press the publish button before Ange has a chance to edit or delete ,I love you all and will keep you posted on marital bliss or lack of.

Another fine day at THE house

Another fine day at THE house. Indeed. Yes. (Ruth) this was the little surprise.(the sign) but you need to read the fine print to see how special it really is.
It's getting lots of interest. We should have the house sold by November I think.
Actually it was a verrry fine day. warm and sunny and chatty. and it seems. everyone making good progress.

Just about everyone turned up - though some had left by the time I took this pic obviously. (sorry) And very nice to get a surprise visit by Tricia Allen and Norm Borg who may just get their act together and do something for the house too.

Marcus and Dore continue their campaign for used toothbrushes. We have constructed a rather natty toothbrush collection bin and located it at the house (putting Marcus's ice-cream container to shame). Photo to follow.

(ps. M&D. I think I have about 20 family toothbrushes . My sister Glenda was sure she was going to get at least 300 via her CentreLink call to action, but results have been disappointing so far :-)

reminder to all. They need 1500 !!! so all donations gratefully received. I am proposing to chuck all mine over Kate's fence as I drive through Swan Reach. (where Marcus and Dore will collect them from).
