With growing evidence that Australia is generally coming to terms with *'living with'* rather than slamming borders shut every time someone sneezes, coupled with the *'planned'* Vaccine Roll-Out, targeted for completion by Oct., which is expected to give a high degree of protection by minimising the serious effects of contracting the virus, and with Australia's steady march toward *'herd immunity', I think it's time to announce November's return* of our Annual RAN Skilled Hands Sydney Rocks Christmas Pub Crawl Smokey... *Whaddya reckon...???* ................................................................................ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DiQUX11YaY ............................................. $\:D/$ I hear Circular Quay......and The Rocks calling..! Two years is too long between drinks, and it's sad to waste a great graphic, so until I get around to fixing the date, I'll kick things off re-using the last year's launch... I've decided I'll revisit my little MOBI/ Minion friends in the blue bib 'n' brace overies to launch the *2021 (18th)* Annual RAN Skilled Hands Sydney Rocks Xmas Pub Crawl Smokey...**

In the meantime, I've completed the final draft of an updated Annual RAN Skilled Hands Sydney Rocks Xmas Pub Crawl Smokey 3D Mud Map... It reflects a few venue updates/ venue name changes, such as the starting point of City Extra, (it was Jackson's on George,) the addition of The Argyle, and a name change to the Munich Bauhaus (formally the Lowenbrau Keller). I may make further enhancements and artistic tweaks, but the route is now firmed up... Enjoy... CONFIRMING THIS YEAR'S DATE CHANGES: NOW FRIDAY, 12th NOVEMBER, to SUNDAY, 14th NOVEMBER. Pony wrote: Well have done the deed and booked for next years Rocks Run over the over the weekend of Friday 5th to Sunday 7th of November 2021. Hopefully us lepers will be allowed across borders by then. I've brought the (above) post forward from last year's cancelled run, (was dated Fri Oct 09, 2020,) and this morning confirmed it with Pony... .................................................................

Sorry guys and girls, Shep, Polly, Ellen and I will miss the run as we booked a Captain Cook cruise around the Lau group islands of Fiji about a month ago. We don't dock in Port Denarau until the day of the run, so it is impossible to get back in time. I am extremely disappointed that Ellen and I will not be able to catch up with you all, but I am sure you will all have a great run. *Hippy Chippy's Footnote:* I have changed the dates to accommodate the four of you... CONFIRMING THIS YEAR'S DATE CHANGES: NOW FRIDAY, 12th NOVEMBER, to SUNDAY, 14th NOVEMBER.

Thank you Rick, that is great news. Providing they don't lock us up on our return, the 4 of us will be there with bells on. We are anticipating that Fiji will be in a travel bubble by then and I anticipate that we will all have had the Covid injections. So, off the plane, do the dhobying and on the piss with the drunks.

I sent this PM to Smiley and Viv this morning: BTW, Smiley and Viv, now that your Premier McGowan has become Emperor McGowan, is he prepared to open the WA border to allow certain WA MOBIs/ DENS to fly eastward to attend the *2021 (18th)* Annual RAN Skilled Hands Sydney Rocks Xmas Pub Crawl Smokey**, seeing you missed out last year...?
