the weather will be perfect. the reason is Because I will be in sunny NSW. I have had to pull out again for this year's Astrofest. With the imminent sale of mums house, cleaning up and the demise of the foresters head gasket last week my available time and funds have gone south. So I will once again be the sacrificial bunny!! the weather will be perrrrfffeect

the sale was going through early which meant I could go - then the car said no

So what's the deal with the weather? What's the forecast from the seasoned locals? Any good? Do we need to sacrifice a few goats? Bring more beer? Bit of dancing involved also?

"What could possibly go wrong" - JJJNettie

Was discussing with Peter the other day - following last year's spur-of-the-moment cocktail party by JJJNettie with vodka and kahlua (I think it was), maybe we should each bring a bottle of something different and have a QAF cocktail party on nights of too many klewds.

Save some for when I arrive on the Tues night at least, please I can only make it Tues/Wed/Thurs nights.

Will bring some Vodka and nice Port I bought on my last wine tour in the hunter. I found that it did improve my polar alignment dramatically.

I remember at uni, doing a road design assignment one night. Couldn't for the life of me get this roundabout to fit in the intersection. 6 pack of beer and a pepperoni pizza later, the roundabout fit and got top marks

That reminded me of a Belgian joke. It's like a French "Irish joke". On how the path of some roads in the Belgian country side came to be.
