Comments welcome. Preferably in Haiku

We're still not dead

Hey guys,

Sorry that Suzy and I have been so quiet, time really flies with George and it's getting very easy to let everything else slide. I'd love to catch up with everyone soon, so I'll see if I can get my shit together long enough to organise something in the not too distant future!

Anyone who would like to stop by and say hi, meet George or shower me with riches is always welcome to, just give me a call and we can sort something out. And George loves meeting his Aunties and Uncles from the extend Stephen Roberts family!


Can you say no to something that cute?

Cheers,
Richard, Suzy and George

PS: If you felt the need to buy me a "you're so awesome I wanted to buy you a present" present, look no further!

bonne chance

pour le demain ma nouille fine

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!

To whet your appetite, here is a reminder of last year's Winterfest action in Leura and here is a reminder of last year's sojourn action in Wollombi.

And here is what is happening this time around for Winterfest at Wollombi:

Coming back on Sunday arvo, June 29

John is organising catering.

We are entertaining ourselves in all manner of 1950's fireside ways.

Noodle and I bags the spare bed.

Jeff is driving Noodle, Bron Sammut and I (in Dad's beast, NOT in Bertie) and we can offer lifts to 1 more people. We will be heading back quite early on Sunday morning as Noodle is flying to Victoria and I am kicking the arses of another hockey team.

Happy Festival Nicolai!!!
