G?day folks!Thought I?d give Emmett a ?get out of writing the latest postcard free? pass and do the work this time around! It was his birthday an? all, just recently. Infact, let me tell you about how Em spent his 27th birthday.Awoken at 5.30am by a whistle that was blown to let the ?cooks? know that they must start preparing breakfast.
