YAY...looking forward to meeting you, little Nell  :)

Fingers crossed for those still uncertain about making it, or unable to join us due to more pressing circumstances.
Even in they're not present, "in the avoirdupois", as Mother Joseph Mary was so fond of saying,
we'll raise a toast for absent (on this occasion) friends, and look forward to meeting up next time.  ;D

Also looking forward to tomorrow ... Dee, do you think we need a recap of where and when, etc., just so's we, the unco-ordinated, don't have to search through all the pages, to make sure we're heading for the right place at the right time?

Okay, scratch that.  I realised, as I posted (above) that Dee might not have internet access ... so I went searching, "unco" though I am  ;D

The Ladies' Parlour at the Australian Heritage Hotel, 100 Cumberland St, is booked from 12 noon to 4pm, in the name of Judith Ballard.

Can't wait!

Definitely will not be attending, unfortunately :'(

Mates mothers funeral Woronora Friday, Wifes friends MIL just holding. Friend spent all last night at John Hunter, and will be returning here tonight for a sleep and going back to the hospital midday tommorow for a relief spell with other daughters in law.

The Lady had three sons and she has outlived all of them, they all died reasonably young. I think  it's sad when parents outsurvive their children. :'(

I will be thinking of you. ;D AND THE PAV'S Some pic's please ;D

Thanks for the summary posting of the where and when, Deb.....you were right .....I haven't had internet access until just now. It's the last thing to really get sorted for the granny flat.    :-\

Sorry you can't make it Neil, and I'm sure there'll be photos that we can at least share by email, as not everyone is prepared to have their photos posted on here. However, I'm also sure we can post photos of the pavs on here! Just hope they are not off the menu!   :o   :o

I'm so.o.o.o.o.o.o.o looking forward to tomorrow.....just hope the train stops for me at Bundanoon, and I manage to find Judith! I'm feeling a bit nervous about that.
