Have to agree with all the previous comments. I was seriously considering giving the Astrofest a miss when Anne-Louise was sick just days prior.

Casa de Surma-Hawes performed spectacularly all week (as those around us can attest to our snoring), nights were splendid, and the company... meh... 2 outta three ain't bad, right?

After packing up the Astrofest with the rest of the Committee, it was too late to pack our not so movable feast and not arrive untill late in the evening, we decided to remain one more night. After coming out of the quarters Sunday night I saw this, and called all and sundry.

I'm afraid that you have to do FacePlant to see most of the traffic in this regard I believe.

We miss you and HRH up here, BTW

Yeah, I really don't get the FB obsession. We'll likely be up next year though...

This why my wife doesn't want me to walk next to her in the shopping mall. I don't get it. Fashion is built-in. Made in France after all?

It's not because the Indian Mynas dive bomb you when they see you in the car park, Marc?

Who was that good looking bloke next to Troy?

The 10 days I wasn't at home they think they can rule the place again. They started bullying me again.

My wife hates socks with sandals with a passion....I occasionally just put them on just for the reaction ..one time in spring here in Canberra it was warm in the afternoon but cooled right down during the night so I started off with sandals in the arvo but took shoes and socks with me to put on later...problem is I forgot the shoes and only took the socks...had to take a photo just like yours to send her...she reckoned I did it on purpose because I am just a daggy astronomer

I can lend you my duct tape boots, Mike. Do you think SWMBO would prefer those to socks & sandals?

Sure was Joe. If you ever plan some international travel during the summer vacation, you'd be more than welcome here.
