G'day folks! We arrived in Canberra on Friday 4th after giving Beth a sufficient 1hours notice. We had spoke to Beth 2 weeks previous and we were supposed to give as much notice as possible but as it happened we drove out of the Snowy Mountains and checked the harvest website for the apples we were supposed to be picking in Batlow and found that most of their crop had been damaged by bad weather and so the work wasn't available for us.

Which was sensible as Dan doesn't very often access his hotmail account. He had a good birthday. I bought him a cake and it had candles and everything.

We were offered waiting and kitchen work at one of the vineyards but only ...

We are in Blairgowrie, it is Saturday. Didn't plan on doing much today, a day for catching up with emails etc. Have managed to steal Chris's internet connection while he is at golf.
