[Daanz-dip] ADC 2007 at AGE 2007, Diplomacy in the Spotlight.

Thu Sep 7 08:50:52 EST 2006

And falling asleep face down in front of the Christmas tree and waking
up to find a new video of you drooling all over the floor has made its
way into the family video collection.

And kids running around screaming pulling tinsel off the tree,
hyperactive and tantrum-y from all the sugar. And that wrapping paper
everywhere. 

Wouldn't miss it for the world. :-)

Cheer up everyone, It is only 14 weeks to Christmas.  Think of the
Turkey, Lamb and that glass of wine by the open fire.

Hi Craig,
being up in QLD we miss the day to day intrigues of
DAANZ. Maybe not a bad thing now I look at it. 
After having to fight for ANZAC weekend this year, you
have my, and probably Tony's (he can speak for
himself), sympathies.
Hope to see you in QLD or that I can come to NSW soon.
Look after yourself,
Kit
