Royal visit

You know I'm not one to gossip, BUT...
Glenn and Sue have just spent a few days in Melbourne. Among other adventures, we went to the movies to see the new "Girl with Dragon Tatoo" version of the original Larson book by the same name. It was really good but a bit confronting.
Glenn and Julia rode bicycles home afterwards (20 kilometres) while Sue and I enjoyed the comfort and convenience of our 1996 Ford Courier twin-cab ute. It was great to see them and I know other brothers are enjoying the same company as they're on the way to Adelaide having passed through Newcastle.
In other breaking news, Stu and Marianne have sold their house in New Lambton and will shortly be moving to Redhead on the beach. They're currently on Norfolk Island hiding out from their kids and creditors. We had another inspection on our house today but I suspect the Grant Roffs will be living in Box Hill for some time to come.
Jenny Roff has accepted me as facebook friend but she's promised to regularly update the Roff Report with her and her family's adventures in Canada. Latest update is that it's cold there and she goes to work in the dark.
Amanda comes home from the US on January 16 so watch this space for further details.
