Thanks so much for being a totally wonderful host, Nick! I was suprised at how well you tolerated people putting ciggarette butts all over your yard! Phillip Island was a fantastic place for a get together, we all had heaps of fun and the weather was about as good as we could possibly have hoped for! Good thing you didn't hold it a month or two ago, all the penguin gear in Cowes would have made me pop with a strange mix of delight, terror and bewilderment.
Great to see a few familiar faces again and even better to see a few new ones! Very interesting to meet boc who waited for me to get a little tipsy and then startled me with orders to answer all manner of question, including diagnoses of stone fruit! :shock: "'ji! 'ji! 'ji! 'ji!" will be ringing through my head for a while! :shock: :lol:
Thanks to all who critisised my choice of words and other aspects of my way of speaking, I'll try to choose small simple words in order to fit in with general vernacular.
(to those complainants, try

.......no, really, I'll try.....
Good hanging out with Stevo and the guys at the place in Cowes (was it called the penguin lounge? Or am I still going crazy), crazy few hours of attempted dancing, avoiding that scarey girl, getting shot down by order of the friend of the girl in the orange top and a wild goose chase to 20 beach st before settling down to listen to your chondro stories until some stupid hour
:lol:
Thanks for breakfast, Westy! I'm sure it was your amazing cooking that allowed me to keep going all day and drive home without having a wink of sleep
I thought the wildlife park visit was actually really worthwhile, the reptile house was even less than I'd expected, but some of the other animals were really awesome, especially the quoll (even with Zoe's dirty comments
), the emus I played with, the kangaroos I cuddled and most of all the cute little flying fox cuddling its mum
All in all it was even worth tolerating the koalas for!
Thanks to all the others I spent time talking to, I won't list everyone because you already know who you are and I've cr@pped on for long enough already
