Letter on returning to Sydney from Cape Town

Hi Graeme, 

How was your time in South Africa with your family?? Sad to be back or happy to be back in your own space again or both?

The weather has been glorious lately so you’ve chosen a good time to come back. I’ve been going to a few comedy gigs at the comedy store and on Thursday night I even got to see Gerard Butler in real life –he was hanging around Fox studios when we came out of the comedy store – I’ve never seen anyone famous in my life before!
Anyway let me know when you have settled back in and want to catch some comedy.

P.S. Can you believe the Mango Groove concert got cancelled!? Again!! I was sooooo disappointed!! I have been listening to one of their old CD’s for weeks now! Anyway, I’m sitting at home now thinking I could’ve been in Luna Park tonight!


Hi there Chrisèl 

Yes, I know!!  I was also really gutted about Mango Groove. It was going to be my coming-back-to-Sydney and- missing- the-family "blues banisher."  What's with Claire and the gang?  Don't they know the devastating effect they have on us by not pitching??
Adding salt to the wounds was arriving home and being told by my lovely house-mates that they're moving to Europe and taking their (MY!!!) adorable baby with them. I felt SO sad.  Quick where can I find a replacement baby??  One that smiles and coos 12 hours a day, never cries and sleeps the other 12 !!

My Cape Town trip was absolutely wonderful. Lots of adventures including paragliding and the dreaded Ratanga Junction sling-shot - scary stuff.  I really bonded with my wonderful little nephew - being attached to him and being shot 100 metres into the sky made sure of that.

The one great highlight of coming home was being re-united with my doggie, Mack.  What an ecstatic re-union! There was much panting, slobbering, high pitched whining, jumping up and down and bum shaking. Mack showed strong signs of excitement too :)

I'd love to go see some comedy.  I'm catching up on work stuff but pretty free from next week on.  Is it a weekend or week-night thing?  I'm happy with whichever.

Gerard Butler?  Isn't he the muscle adorned hunk from 300?  Eye candy galore.  Did you ask for an autograph?  The only famous person I've met informally was Percy Montgomery.  Sat next to him in the cinema.  I was quite star struck!

Anyway, I hope you're well and using the marvellous weather to go on lots of nice hikes. I see there's a nice long weekend coming up.  Let the outdoor adventures begin.

Cheers,
G
