I think the last time I had a really go pub crawl was back in 1992 in Sydney.

That time is still fuzzy in my mind but I don't mind, as I have some memory. LOL

It would be great to be there with Fred and relive the past.

Sadly, Wayne and I are stuck here. We will have to have one or two maybe more in solidarity with you as you attend the pub crawl.

It is with regret that Sandy & I will have to pull out of the Rock Run this year.

My sister, who lives in Mudgee has terminal cancer and taken a bad turn. She is back in hospital.
Last time this happened, the doc gave her 3 transfusions and lots of hydration and got her out looking after herself, but she is not holding up and has regressed.
Not looking good.

My other sister is coming up from Albion Park tonight and we will leave Sydney tomorrow morning for the drive to Mudgee.
This will be the fourth trip in the past 4 months and they are getting closer together.

I expect to see lots of piccies of you lot out on the town when we get back.
Nave a good one.
