Oops, sorry Janie. What can I say? I didn't realise you were still there in the Outback, and neither did MOM. She was sleeping it off after Happy Hour, and I wasn't much better. Getting MOM back was bad enough. She was quite a handful, I can tell you! Glad the stockmen looked after you. Did they give you billy tea and damper?   



Now I'm wondering how MOM managed to be seized and absconded with by savage indigenous conservative as well as sleeping it off in a haystack. It must have been a very brief episode ;-) Still I suppose anything's possible in virtual Alice Springs (I didn't want to mention this before, but they don't have haystacks in the real Alice Springs).
