Tuesday 17th June

Congratulations Joanne and Andrew, and welcome to the wide world Liam.

Another event today did not go so well.....our tennis Grand Final. We lost by 3 games. A bit disappointing, but I enjoyed the tennis, and was not as nervous as I used to be on such occasions. Was a bright sunny day, but a bit windy, with several points being won by the wind.

However this afternoon also brought back the internet. Having been deprived for almost 4 days, I phoned Optus once again(5th time), but this time I was not so polite, and, among other things, said we would be changing providers if it wasn't fixed within 24 hours. It may be a coincidence, but it was back within 20 minutes, and hasn't faltered since! What a waste of time it was yesterday spending one and a half hours talking to the help desk in India.

Looking forward to our trip to Numurkah this weekend for the Quarterly Gathering of the Australian Plants Society Victoria. And also to our trip to Canberra following, albeit a very cold venue. Will be nice to catch up with some friends of old we haven't seen for some years now.
