Cunnamulla, QLD Australia
First - A very big thanks to Len, a friend and fellow miner in Koroit, who is letting me use his computer. This means my blog postings should be a bit more coherent as well as more interesting and my email responses will be faster and also a bit more coherent.
. . . speaking of coherent, I'm working on about 2 hours of sleep after taking part in a very Australian social event - As you sports fans probably already know, last night in Sydney, Queensland defeated New South Wales in the third and deciding match in the State-of-Origin series. If you're not a footie fan, what I just said means Queensland won a rugby game and has a certain amount of bragging rights for about a year . . . it also means that last night across the land downunder many blokes and their mates and a few Sheilas got on the piss. (in USA english: last night across Australia many guys and their friends and a few women got drunk (had a few beers)).
Thanks to Curly and Vince for their invitation and for hosting a huge Koroit get-together (21 people were present) last night including dinner, watching the footie, watching QLD win and NSW lose (16 to 10), entertaining conversation and a bit of Queensland's own beer XXXX.
Thanks for the generous donation of many cans of XXXX and a few of VB from a dear Kiwi friend Mark. . . thanks for the conversation, the warm fire until about 3am, the music and the ride home. . . . a particularly big thanks to Mark's Mrs, Caroline, for her patience and understanding and hopefully for not killing Mark this morning.
more later. . . it's dinner time. . . .
