G'day little meg,

Robert & Karon are still on track for attendance in Melbourne.  The only variable remains the pending hip replacement. 

However, being a person who always sees life as "a glass (not half but) 3/4 full", I reckon on being there chatting and laughing with you all on Oct 19.

Thank you for the update.

Blessings

Hi Margaret,

I'm just back from a trip to Europe which was fantastic but expensive (even got some family history done in Ireland!  ;D )  Am booked in with friends for a French immersion weekend in northern NSW in early November (that's one of my other passions!)  With the crashed sharemarket affecting retirement funds, am still trying to decide if I can afford a trip to Melbourne as well!  Sorry to be so slow deciding, but once I've fought off the jetlag I may be able to make an intelligent decision!  ;D  Would love to be there, so we'll see...

Eds, sorry you are unable to make it, have replied to your p.m.

Marie, hope you sort out the jetlag and finances, at least you know you can always go to the Brissy meet if you can't get down south.

Will try and sort out names in the next couple of days.
