Earth has made another complete rotation of the sun, its 2019th since a bearded dude was born in the Middle East according to Christian tradition, or its 4,543 billionth, give or take a few (million) rotations, since it was formed, according to all-knowing Google. To celebrate this non-event, and the birth of the bearded dude, I went to Perth. I could have stayed in Indonesia, but my best friend l... Read Full Entry

Happy New Year!
We had Floris join us for Christmas & New Year. You probably know him as he is from Amsterdam...195cm or 6 feet 5 he's hard to miss. Great to have your close friends join you at this time 'cos that's what this time is about...getting together. This pic for the pool room...trust it carries enduring memories that you can carry in your quieter moments. Happy New year Ralf. And may your aspirations for this year bloom.

Ah, yes of course Floris...
From Amsterdam, which Dutch person doesn't know him. Thanks for the well wishes and obviously I trust this year will bring you much joy and fortitude as well! May it be a good one!

Friends
So funny, Suzanne & I were also saying that we feel so lucky that we are still in touch and every time we meet up it's just like the good old days. Although I have to say I think girls are better at keeping in touch than men are. I think it is really special that the three of you have managed to keep up your friendship after all these years...well done! And I have to say hat's off to Eelko & Kathy for having you all over to stay for such a long time...they are truly amazing!!

Eelko and Kathy
I'm sure Eelko and Kathy appreciate your comment... I told them the same, a few times during my stay.

Happy New Year!
What an awesome reunion for the three of you. I understand the effort and commitment it takes to do this when your friends are scattered around the globe... you've inspired me to try and organise a similar catch up :)

Thanks
And Happy New Year to you! And yes it was great to be together again, I think we are on a five yearly cycle on that account ;) Glad I inspired you
