Grand Final 2006

Gents

This may seem a bit early to be talking about this, considering the misery for some of us hasn't even started yet, but what are some thoughts about this years grand final.

I think we would all agree that last years road/air trip was a stunning success, thanks largely to the great organisation and hospitality of Erv as well as Kate.
Personally, I had a great time.

I'm not sure what others think but why couldn't we do that each year or even every second year. We could look at other venues to see whats available. Rohan and Ted may even offer up a weekend down the Great Ocean Road. Now that the Hunter is Erv's main place of residence, it may make it hard to take it over for the weekend. We will be guided by Erv on that matter.

The women certainly have their fair share of dinners and outings so we need to get off our bums and lock in something like this early.

Tinks - Emily update

I was talking with Grant earlier today. They had just finished Emily's first treatment of radiation. "Only 32 sessions to go!" I think most of you are aware that the treatment requires Emily to go under a general anesthetic. Unfortunately Emily did not respond well when coming out of the anesthetic today. This certainly makes it harder on both Shell and Grant, as dealing with a 3 year old who is very hostile is not an easy task. Grant said that they will vary the anesthetic and hopefully get a blend that does not upset Emily as much when they bring her out of it.

I'm hoping Grant will get on line over the next couple of weeks so that he can share our support and hopefully get a few laughs from everyone's entries.

Emily arrived home a couple of hours after the treatment and Grant is pleased to report that Emily is back to her normal cheeky self!

With six weeks of daily treatment (weekends off!) they are all taking it one day at a time. I'm sure you will all join me in wishing the Tinkers all the success over the next couple of months.

Ghosts of the Past

Well Boys, I've been looking through some of my old electronic pics, and I came across a couple of gems from Bruce's Wedding. Can you remember going for a swim in a particular reception centre's pool. The obvious shots are Erv and Age-ah as Ghosts from the Past (looking mighty cut there too is young Age), but the question is - who's Ass is it. I vote Goata's!!

Cheers, Whiz.
