I think after all the trials and tribulations of the past few months, what with floods and cyclones, more floods and more cyclones, not to mention Blithering Bligh and Gassy Gillard............. a little bit of 'Comic Relief' is in order in the shape of a Mini Meet in Brisbane (Australia)
It's planned for May 28th for lunch at Amicis at Southbank, Brisbane where we can all have a sit down, a lovely lunch, some excellent conversation and a whole barrel full of laughs.
So
Date: May 28th
Time: 11.30am
Where: Amicis, Southbank
Why: Comic Relief
Everyone is most welcome.

And when Yourself with silver foot should pass
Among the Guests star-scattered on the grass,
And in your joyous errand reach the spot
Where I made one...turn down an empty glass.
In other words...have one for me as wont be there... :-\
;D
-
Enjoy yourselves girls - I wish . . . . . :(
-

Well LB I am sorry to report that I didn't get to have much wine... coz Charlotte drank it all..... despite her insistence that she only wanted half a glass.
And then another half a glass
And another half a glass....
You get the picture I am sure...

-
Karen... watch it :P :P

So glad you enjoyed yourselves. ;D ;D ;D

A great time, Wiggy......... lots of laughs and really good company. And meeting BillyBlue was a bonus.
Yep, a great time.

If you'd met the REAL BillyBlue it would've been a bonus ;D ;D ;D ;D
A few years ago the Mitchell Library put on an exhibition of "Sydney Eccentrics" and guess who topped the list?

Yep.......... I'll agree with that ;) ;)
Dawn......... if the REAL Billy Blue had turned up we'd ALL have needed more wine!! ;D ;D ;D

Yes! Though maybe he'd have brought some rum with him.
He was Sydney's first water policeman but that job lasted only a year - he lost it when he was caught smuggling rum - which he claimed to have just 'found floating in the harbour'
::) ::) ::) :P :P
