Well that's very strange that yours took so long, Sandra. We got ours weeks ago. Charlie, did I forget to let you know and thank you? I did mean to.

We enjoyed your CD very much - there's some great stuff there. I loved the funny ones, particularly Dead Dog Cider, which of course I've heard you sing, but it's nice to have a copy of it. John likes your treatment of Andersons Coast - it's different, with that unmistakeable Charlie stamp on it, and it works for us. He's still continually amazed at the way that song is travelling round the world.

Were there others in Sydney that you haven't heard from, Charlie?

By the way, you would have felt right at home here yesterday - we had a big gale-force wind spring up, and one corner of our shade-sail came adrift and for a while the whole thing looked like it was going to disappear over the roof of the house. Fortunately, John managed to secure it and lash it down where it could do no harm. Bring back memories? :-)
