Yawn – good morning all!

Here is a sample of my efforts from a rather cool morning by the Brisbane River, tagging along with Mike (Iceman), Troy (Troypiggo), a couple of new friends that Troy found, plus a plethora of itinerant photographers that turned up at regular intervals. Needless to say, we astronomers had already bagged the best spots!

I felt sorry for Mike and Troy as we bade farewell, as both have a full days work ahead of them, not to mention the return flight home for Mike.

Oh the joys of a 3-day week!

It was great meeting up with Mike, our first face-to-face encounter since I joined IIS several years ago. I was glad to be able to show him some Qld hospitality, acknowledging the time, energy and effort he has poured into creating such a vibrant on-line and real-world community that is today’s Ice In Space.

The only rather unsavoury event that marred an otherwise perfect morning was those rotten cockroaches winning Origin 2! I am so glad that Sir H0ughy wasn’t there in person to gloat!

Cheers

Dennis
