Thursday, May 10

Fair play to you, Adam.

I would like to insult the Grant Roff/Kearton clan and nominate them for the dodgiest family (as well, it seems, as the drunkest), but I will not do any such thing because I may need a favour.

I have a job interview in Melbourne coming up, set down for some time later in this month or early next month, and would like to spend the time outside of the interview with family members, as well as being able to enjoy either the weekend after or weekend before the interview savouring the sights, sounds and smells of Australia's second best place. (The first being without question Port Augusta.) I'll give people precise dates when I know them but was just hoping someone would be willing - or brave enough, as the case may be - to put their hand up now. I'm generally pretty good. Just make sure any cheese you keep in your fridge is cut straight.

While I'm at it, I'll also need accommodation in Canberra on the 24th of this month, if at all possible. Once again, it is for a job interview, but unlike my trip to Melbourne I'll try to avoid the chance of realising the truth of that oft-repeated anecdote:
Person 1: "I haven't seen Daniel for a while, is he dead?"
Person 2: " Worse, he's in Canberra."

Goodbye.

Daniel
Congratulations for nominating Port Augusta as your favourite place. It certainly has its charms. Once we had a board meeting there and presented the mayoress Joy Balucche (phoenetic spelling) with an expensive blown glass bowl hand crafted at the Jam Factory in Adelaide. She thanked us for the gift, put it on her head and complimented us for the beautiful hat! True story. I think these sort of people are called iconoclasts and there are a lot of them in South Australia.

Hope somebody puts you up.

Port Augusta is a dump. I helped make it so on a couple of bike trips. Our house is your house, Daniel, and you just need to let us know when you'll be arriving at the airport so we can arrange to have you collected. One of our fleet of white, Camry wagons will be allocated for your use and various members of the family will be rostered to look after your social needs. Keep us in the loop regarding plans.
