Great Ocean Way
Great Ocean Way, my new house overlooking the beach!!
We the Canadians are a week away from our invasion. We are staying in Port MacQuarrie on the 8th and will arrive sometime in the afternoon of Monday the 9th. We just need directions and or an address. Once we have that the invasion will begin. We still have Pat but we have lots of wine to use as a sacrifice.

New Sanders Baby!!!!!
Tess and Adrian and Anu welcomed a new baby boy into their family.
His name is Faolan (accent on second a!) it's Gaelic, for little wolf. (pronounced
(FAY-lan). Though they might change the spelling to Faelan. I love!
Middle-name to follow....They've been calling him that for months. Tess
"knew" that it was a boy the whole time, instinctively. And when he came
out, before she could see the baby, she said "it's a boy". Adrian looked atnd sure enough, she was right!
The baby was born last night at 11:45, after three short hours of labour. Doula came at 8:30, midwife
came at 1030, only 17mins of pushing! Tess got her second "home" birth,
which she really wanted, so we are all thrilled for her. Anu slept
through the night and doesn't even know yet that he is a big brother!
Baby did come out with cord around his neck, but the midwife got him out quick and all was well. Tess is
totally good, didn't even tear!
He looks completely different from Anu, he has curly dark hair, and hair all over his body, and pointed ears!
Talked to Adrian and he's so proud, sharing all the gory bits, I won't pass along unless asked;)
Blessed.
Lots of love to you all. Auntie Maya
Great news! Anu has a brother to play with!

Greetings from the Mornington Peninsula! Gorgeous sunshine for a Monday morning. Flamin', Sarge and Cora Lee are off to treat their overhangs at a spa while I work on The Infernal Diaries! Had hoped to rent bikes, as we did in both Clare adn McLaren Vale, but we are in Rye and rental shop is in Hastings, a fair distance away, and we only have today before off to Sydney. Sarge is bound and determined to climb Harbour Bridge. I will join him as Tensing to his Hillary if we can score spots. Popular activity, it seems. The SIsterhood demur, prefering the upscale shope near Darling Harbour where we will be staying. Off to Hunter Valley for the Easter weekend where we will meet friends, Kathleen and Steve, from Bendigo. Fondestos from all the performers, misfits, charlatans and purveyors of the finest snake oils, (Flamin' is particularly enamoured of the deadly Brown here in Oz!), known to humankind c/o The Canucks Travelling Road Show! Patrizzio, Impressario/Conductore and General Dogsbody to The Sisterhood!!!!
Ayn P Sounds like all are having a great time! We had a lovely meal at Rick and Rae's last night...Maryland crab cakes, prime rib, roasted taters, veggies and more! There was a lovely Iranian woman there whose father still alive at 104!! We decided we'll smother you past 100!! LOL! Just kidding Poppa! Love to all!
Patrick James Dunn Flamin' and Sarge are thinking about using a pillow on Nana after the last night in the same room in Coonawarra! Flamin' dreams about ear plugs, especially when Wind Tunnel Sarge adds his symphony to the cacophony!!! Fondestos, Il Conduttore/Il Innocente!!!

Dear Patrick,
Are you now done with Australia and to Japan now!
Enjoy and love to hear your updates! Daniel
Hi Pat,
Thanks for the postcard which arrived this afternoon. I has been passed it to the cypher department as i am having trouble reading the handwriting. I know it's an ancient joke but did you write to me in runic or Linear B script? Liked the graphic on the front. How is your trip going otherwise - in a nutshell that is?As for me i returned home on March 19th and am now fully retired in every sense of the word. That is, not distracted by travel, but at home seeing were the road will take me next, metaphorically speaking.Kjell and Gerhard are coming over for dinner tomorrow and we will likely watch a Russian film called "Stalker." Seattle bound with Corinne on the weekend and talking about a camping trip down into Utah in July.All the best!bobps: You can see the latest postings from Vietnam below (if you like):Word from Bob
Hello from Rye, Michelle!
More gorgeous sunshine for those Monday morning workers! Flamin', Sarge and Cora Lee are off to treat their overhangs at a spa while I work on The Infernal Diaries! Had hoped to rent bikes, as we did in both Clare and McLaren Vale, but we are in Rye and rental shop is in Hastings, a fair distance away, and we only have today before off to Sydney.

PS: After a bit too much Shiraz last night Corinne opined that she would rather swim with a Great White than risk dipping her toes in waers infested with box jellyfish! In Vino Veritas!!!
Hello Tensing! You need a blog for posting those images of the view from Harbour Bridge. Should you spot a great white in the distance, be sure to let Corinne know.
Chortle!
We had a lovely event on Friday - let Corinne know we sold jewelry, did well on the wine sales even without you, and are now trying to figure out our options for dues renewal.
Cheers, Michelle
Hello Harbour Terrace, (and Kathy):
Trust you and Louise are both well. Life is tough on the road, let me tell you! On the Home Front, however, am wondering if you could find out if the cheque Cora Lee put through the mail slot in the door just down the hallway, for the latest assessment, ever reached Colyvan. Checking on-line, cheque hasn't cleared yet. We are concerned that it might have been misplaced or lost. Would appreciate anything you can find out, payback for loan of roasting pan!
At any rate, hello from the Mornington Peninsula! Gorgeous sunshine for all the Monday morning workers'! Flamin', Sarge Cora Lee and I will probably go to some mineral springs this morning. Had hoped to rent bikes, as we did in both Clare and McLaren Vale, but we are in Rye and rental shop is in Hastings, a fair distance away, and we only have today before off to Sydney. Sarge is bound and determined to climb Harbour Bridge. I will join him as Tensing to his Hillary if we can score spots. Popular activity, it seems. The Sisterhood demur, prefering the upscale shops near Darling Harbour where we will be staying. Off to Hunter Valley for the Easter weekend where we will meet friends, Kathleen and Steve, from Bendigo, where we stayed with them after Melbourne.
As you might imagine, has been a busy last few days, what with wine-tasting and more cycling, most recently, in McLaren Vale. Would really like to explore, by bike, more of countryside surrounding McLaren Vale as bit of riding we did was wonderful.
Patrick,Are you really interested in some "damn" cheque or are you just trying to rub it in. You are in balmy weather, cycling, walking, wine tasting, while we are watching Coal Harbour freeze over, snow accumulate on our door steps, and the thermometer frightened to reach out to new heights, like 11 degrees C.The price you have to pay for borrowing a roast pan!!!!!!!I will confirm with Kathy, but it should be in process by now.Cheers, have fun and stay safe. Bernie
Hello Queenslanders All!
Please accept my apologies for not writing sooner! Glad all goes well with the advance preparations for the Canucks! Much appreciated. Please expect a large load of rose petals, Elly, from McLaren Vale, as many of the vineyards have rose bushes planted at the end of the rows!
