Anna, Glenn, Bert and I been having an excellent visit! We had "Brontasaurus" steaks on the barbie last night and lots of ribs and unshucked corn roasting over the coals tonight. Bert and I have been trading turns at playing and singing songs. Last night Glenn even sang a couple of songs which he accompanied by playing on a Hammond organ. It's been great fun catching each other up on the gaps in our respective histories and discussing future plans.

In an hour or so we will be able to view a magnificent fireworks display. Meanwhile, we'll be sipping pina coladas or perhaps a few more Lord Chesterfield Ales.

BTW, we knew that with such short notice it was unlikely many could attend. However, it was well worth a go. We will send up a toast to all whose thoughts and spirits arrived here sans corpus.
