Uncle Ash and Aunty Cathie were in Sydney on the weekend to attend the 40th Anniversary of their time at St John’s College (Sydney Uni). They both looked smashing heading off to the black tie event: Cathie in a lovely blue lace number and Ash in a dinner suit and a new embroided shirt with bow tie that he picked up at a garage sale that day. From the photos I saw and from their own reports, Ash is only one in the group that still has hair.
They stayed with me in Camperdown, Ash’s old stomping ground. We went on the Garage Sale Trail around Camperdown and Newtown, exploring the back streets, visiting Ash’s old share house and picking up some awesome bargains. I was very lucky to get a new indoor table for the outdoors (thanks Ash and Cathie) and a BBQ cover. Ash got his shirt and tie and we just missed out on a Rabbitohs football for Stuart.
Great weekend!

Thanks for letting us stay at your place (thanks for the bed Daniel). What a great pad and certainly an eye-opener for us to see how cool Camperdown and Newtown have become. Where did the dreaded "trolley boys" go? Ferodale? Highlights of the weekend were Lainey's generous hospitality, the garage sale trail and a fully catered lunch watching the international one-day cricket test at Camperdown oval.Low-light was seeing all those grumpy old bastards at the reunion. Surely we don't look like that!
I'd like to say you both look terrific but it would only be half-true - the half that involves Cathie. Lainey is the patron saint of hospitality.
In the picture, is that the "outside' table you bought from the garage sale? It looks a little too good to be left outside.
It is a little too good to be left outside but it was a steal so it all balances out.
Ash & Cathie, thankyou very much for the table. It really is appreciated.
