On the wings of a sea-eagle

I have been moved by Manly's wonderful 40-0 drubbing of the Storm to reflect on how good and just is life (sometimes). Congratulations to Cal Roff and Ash Roff for having the perseverence and imagination to fly with the sea-eagles. We've had some down-draughts, we've had to eat moss instead of whiting, but who's soaring now?

Is this a picture of prince Harry and prince Will at Balmoral Castle? No, its Andrew and Rowan at Jolly's Boathouse with the King William St bridge in the background, but life is good for the Adelaide princes. It was great to have Glenn and Sue visit us last week. They raided the op-shops, as is their want, but equally at home on the verandah of D'Arenburg's at Mclaren Vale appreciating a local sav/blanc. To work off the calories we went down to Encounter Bay to undertake the taxing King's Beach walk (note the gentleman in the Manly-Warringah guernsy holding a New Zealand fur-seal). It was an added bonus to have Daniel visit. He fitted in very well, buying lots of Coopers' Ale and providing some classy guitar entertainment at Andrew's house party.


Glenn and Sue enjoyed their visit although Sue was worried about Glenn's increasing cholesterol count and here points to the visible effects of too much good hospitality in South Australia.


I was very proud to be able to move Andrew's admission as a solicitor and barrister of the Supreme Court of South Australia a couple of weeks ago. Yes, Grant, I have put on some weight, and no I'm not wearing fish-net stockings underneath the regalia (although I must admit I did enjoy dressing up?).


Lots of love to all.
