Glenn has been back in Victoria for a few days at a Catholic Education conference in Bendigo and is currently enjoying the hospitality of the Grant Roffs in sunny Box Hill. The conference was very interesting and made the news because there were protesters and physical interventions by extreme elements of the church objecting to the content of the proceedings.
Philomena Billington, who was a special minister at Naomi's wedding, was the target of most of the discontent. She is an intellectual leader of the reform agenda in the church and her ideas are yet to be fully accepted. Glenn arrived at lunchtime today on the train from Bendigo and was then subjected to the traditional ride to the Fairfield Boathouse for a devonshire tea. Grant says he prefers to ride with Stuart as it's a bit slower than riding with Glenn and Julia. Glenn will be back in a week and hopes to catch up with Brendan who will also be in town. All the gossip from Lismore has been explored: Sue is currently in Oxford with Joe and Sarah having just returned from Prague and will be back this Saturday, no doubt with lots of stories from the other side of the world. Joe is playing for a combined Oxford/Cambridge team this weekend in Dublin. Sue won't get to see it but will be a spectator at Adam Lewis' team's final the day after. Adam, Sarah's brother, coaches a well-regarded schoolboy team from a town just outside of Dublin. Some wine was drunk over dinner and Glenn commented that the Damian Roffs have been very quiet recently on the blog - please correct immediately. Grant will be in Sofala next weekend on a bikie adventure which, interestingly, clashes with Julia's birthday. Things are a bit tense...

who wrote this? Grant do now refer to yourself in the third person?
Hey Harry, good point. But how about a more detailed report from you about how life in NZ is treating you. It can be in 1st or 3rd person. You have choices.
Harry, Daniel doesn't like you mocking Grant. Daniel thinks it's unbecoming to do such a thing.
