Hi Gerry,
Yes I'm still here. so sorry to hear about your prang, but very pleased you came
out of the experience OK. Sounds like what you've done is dramatically increase
the value of the Corben you have now, as it's now the only one left. A very
cunning plan I say :)
We;ve had a great summer, day after day of blue sky. Most of the country has had
no real rain for 2 months. great for the wine growers but some of the real
farmers
are starting to get a bit twitchy. Mind you I've never met a farmer who
hasn't got something to moan about.
I'm glad that you liked Queensland. Aussie's OK, it's gets too bloody hot, has
too many flies, 1000's of miles of boring landscape and it's full of bloody
Aussies.
But it's OK. You realise of course it's just a preview for Godszone. Some
day you must get over here and I'll show you a truly wonderful place.
I'm still far too bloody busy to have too much fun at the moment. I'm doing a
bit
of motorbike riding but no flying. I've hardly used my boat all summer but
actually the best boating weather is now and the next 6 weeks. Once I get a bit
of business stuff out of the way I'll be getting some boat time in. Hoping to
get to teh Uk in May sort of time. I'll let you know.
Good to touch base old mate. Stay safe :)
Rob
