I'd like to pay a flying visit (last weekend before we fly out so I might stock up on supplies and say farewell to everyone). The one cavet is my wife and I are on standby, our friends have twins due that weekend and we are babysitting their other two children, in the case of labour on that weekend. I'd say I'd be allowed to visit for a max 1hr more likely 30 minutes, and not at all if the twins are on their way....

alas - you keep having these on our weekends away! We'll be picking up the boy from Taree (end of school holidays)!
I'll be there in spirit though (more likely a nice port than spirits, but you know what I mean ).

Hi Birdie, I need a 2 gig flash card for my memory hungary camera if you have some left.
I'll syphon petrol from all of those who attend the mini in trade what do you think? Maybe $1.50 litre by then eh?
If it was like the last mini that could be a 200-400 VR trade

Agree 4 gb is better, trying to be ecological and do my part so I'll stay with a 2 gb at the moment ( translated in "not sleep in the dog house and with no flea control" )
