28th - 29th Dec - Back in Melbourne - Reunion

Michael had not changed the lock, moved or pretended he wasn't in and let us disrupt his life again. We stayed in exhanging Christmas stories and having a few sherries to keep the party mood going.

Mairi was arriving at 8pm from New Zealand - wierd being away for a month - we were all excited about her arrival and not just cos she was bringing champaigne!

Pauline was a bit worried that Mairi would be browner than her - but Pauline was browner than me when she arrived never mind when she left - she's a crazy sunbathing woman.

Mairi arrived knackered so we didn't drag her out or make her do anything too strenuous - after all we've a big day tomorrow.
