Mates reunited
Hi all, the canvas house resembles a tent in the great plague at the moment with both occupants stricken with a horrible cold virus. We were not helped by a heavy shower in the night where we had to get up to zip windows and put the kitchen away.
We pottered slowly this morning. Susan painted Lily's toenails and fingernails. At midday we headed up the road to Yatala to visit David (Cromb) and Jo and their children, Jess and Matthew. I was best man at Davids wedding in 1987(I think) We have had brief catch ups since including a stopover at Brisbane airport in 1997 and a visit to Adelaide circa 1999 with a young Jessica. There was also another visit that totally slipped my mind prior to when my kids were born as Jo remembered the nectarine tree in fruit and David a garfishing trip to the jetty. The fact they stayed overnight and the Challenger disaster occurred puts that date as (quickly searches google) 28 January 1986.
Anyway it was good to catch up on lot's of news after so many years. They have a nice big property and a lovely house. We insisted on sitting outside to avoid transmission of our horrible bugs so we didn't get to see inside as much as we should have. Jo prepared an excellent lunch and David produced bottles of good wine. The afternoon ticked away far too quickly, we said our goodbyes and hope to return before too long. Certainly not 10 years!
On our return Susan painted Edi's nails and we enjoyed fish and chips.
However an early night is in order as we are driving tomorrow if we manage to have the strength to pack.
Cheers Simon
