Bits 'n Pieces

Marianne (is that how you spell it?) has just noticed the sub-title under the banner "The Roff Report". You are a wicked boy, Adam!

We have recently had the pleasure of a visit by Zac, as well as Adam and Monica and Nick for roast lamb on a Sunday. It's always great fun to have them all around - makes me feel youn....not as old. Harry has also flown over from NZ (Business Class of course!) for a few days. Why? Because it's free and he can! Alaine was also up for a few days because of APEC - the restaurant where she works is UNDER the U.S.Consulate and was closed down for a few days because, strangely enough, no-one wanted to eat UNDER the U.S.Consulate during Bush's visit. Go figure.

Marianne has finally learned to ride a PUSHBIKE! I have been trying to get her to do this for thirty years and her comment once she was going was; "This isn't so hard; I should have done it years ago." (One of these days,Alice,one of these days....)

Millie was involved in a bashing/brawl in dowwntown Newc on Saturday (actually 3am Sunday) after her very gay friend Wayne was set upon by some of the town's finest bogans. She is OK but was kicked in the head and spat upon (mind you, she should be used to that by now) and had her $200 dress ripped irrepairably and had some money stolen (No, she didn't pay $200 for the dress - she got it for $10 but it's the principle!) So when exactly is Dom coming to Newcastle, Grant?
