Tom is shattered too Janette - apparently he's going to be an honorary scot next time, he enjoyed hanging out with Gary and Ross - even Alex had a good time.!
Hope your urgent matter has resolved Johnno sorry you couldn't make it, but sometimes other things are more important - hopefully you'll be at the next one.

I was so looking forward to the Kings Park Gig ........... and I purposely set up a Home-open free weekend............. that was going to be my first full weekend off for ages....... we had a dummy run out to Kings Park the previous Sunday......... but I had to work the day before. This weekend was going to be magic as I had planned to take both days off and was looking forward to it.
Unfortunately we have my brother-in-law in hospital at present following a triple bypass op ............. we were all set to head off to Kings Park for the day only to hear that things weren't going too well for him as following surgery he developed some sort of a clot whist in IC and had to be rushed back to theatre to undergo more surgery............. I'm pleased to report he is okay now to a degree.......... still very, very sore ................ but on the mend.
They have had a real bad time of late............... I've never known anyone to have so much bad luck .......... this family certainly has had a raw deal all round!
His wife (my wife's sister) was medivacced down from Port Hedland the middle of last year for some tests........... turned out she had bone cancer ............. she was only 45 years old and they have two 11 year old twin boys. My wife gave up her job to look after her sister; and we brought the other sister over from America to help out .......... unfortunately my sister-in-law passed away almost a year ago to the day despite a very brave attempt to fight her illness.
Following on from last year's turn of events...... the family have recently relocated to Perth from Port Hedland ............. they only live 5 minutes away from us........... just round the corner nearby also at Carramar. The boys got settled into a new school ......... and as a family they had began to pick up the pieces................ all was going real well considering........... brother-in-law has transferred down to head office in St Georges Terrace .......... while walking there from the train he felt unwell and keeled over ............ next thing he was in hospital. Luckily they found he had these problems in ample time and were able to rectify same.
Will definitely be at the next meeting.
Gary can't keep his eyes opened I think he's exhausted with all the running about.
