Bye for now.  Hope you have a good day.

Is it Springtime in Australia, gabriele?  Do you have livestock on your place...it seemed kind of rural.

Hi view!  Yes, spring started on the 1st of September.  We had a beautiful 24 C (75 F) day already this week.  We still have our three Wiltipoll sheep, who are self-shedding.  The birds love their wool for their nests.  They had ear tags when I bought them as lambs, which I forgot to remove as we released them onto our place. They are 1337, hence 'LEET' and 1307, for us 'agent 07'.
It's a shame you aren't in our game this season. You mentioned the hip replacement and tests your husband had to undergo.  I've been thinking of you and your husband and hope it has turned out ok.  xox

Gabriele do you have other animals at your place...I would so love to live on a place where I could have some farm animals....Spring in Australia...just seems so odd that we are in fall and you are in spring...LOL

View I was wondering the same thing about your hubby...I do miss you too!!!

DWTS Season 23 Media Roundup – Pap And Entertainment Reports And More Just a media round up to start the day. First, see ABC.com for their top 9 reasons to watch Dancing With The Stars this season. They mention the return of Julianne Hough as a judge even though she wasn’t mentioned in the Disney ABC press release yesterday as Judging. So, I don’t know what to think? But, she looked so pretty at anEmmy event last night.

 Below is an Insider report on the new cast of Dancing With The Stars Season 23 and they also chat with a few of them…





=14pxHere are a couple of reports on Ryan Lochte. He really gets hounded at the airport by the paps, but, he’s trying to stay positive….










=14pxI also ran into this WGN office pool. Hilarious. I wonder who will win?





 Speaking of, some of the cast members talked to People about who they think will win. Be sure to read the link for the full article.


“I think Laurie obviously is the one everyone’s got their eye on,” race car driver James Hinchcliffe told PEOPLE of who he views as the potential frontrunner. “Half of what her profession is is dance anyway. And she’s such a great personality, such a fun person, great character, huge smile. It’s easy to love her so on the dance floor and off in the vote world, that’s gonna be tough for sure,” the 29-year-old added.Professional dancers Sharna Burgess and Lindsay Arnold also agreed. “Oh yeah, she’ll be incredible” Burgess, 31, told PEOPLE. Arnold, 22, added: “I feel like Laurie is gonna be pretty incredible. When you watch her compete in the Olympics, she has so much grace. I would say she’s the most graceful of the 5 that competed so I’m like dang, she’s gotta have some serious moves. I’m assuming she’s gonna be really great.”Though Maksim Chmerkovskiy joked that he and Amber Rose are the “biggest competition,” he also has his eyes on Hernandez and his brother, Valentin Chmerkovskiy.

I saw the Ryan Lochte interview you posted this week, CEK.  He said something along the lines of there being so many other, serious events in the world....   and he hopes to change people's 'mindset' (about him...).  I haven't followed the original scandal, but been thinking it would be the safer bet to hang his head for a while longer (so to speak.....), instead of telling people how they should feel about him by now.  I expect a lot from this team to garner votes, perhaps Speedos, fauxmance......?  Come to think of it, I would like to enter them into the 'Sparks could Fly' column, please, LUV. 

....  and the 'Stop-and-Go' team with Sharna as well, please.  This one based on the well-established bilateral relations between Canadians and Australians on the show........
