Gday Sinister. Sometimes I worry about you lot. Rachel Sunnyset is trying to clean fish while theyre still alive and flopping about the kitchen, and Miss Marianna is leaning her head back and drinking the rain... in London?! Ive seen that rain, and I wouldnt go out in it without a radiation suit. While you lot are all enjoying the autumnal delights that the Northern hemisphere has to offer at this time of year, down here at the antipodes, were still wading through spring. And really, its not that bad. Theres a bit more sneezing, and the leaves arent as pretty, but at the moment its rather pleasant. Actually, come to think of it, there seem to be a few more Australians kicking about the list than there used to be maybe we should resurrect the idea of a picnic or get-together of some sort. Meet you at Ayers Rock at lunchtime, then? Grand. Oh, sorry, that should be Uluru. My bad. Seriously, though, Ive met a fair few of you now, but never on home soil. Ive moved to Melbourne (from Adelaide, but the long way around, via New York), and Ive even managed to drag an unsuspecting Sinistar back with me. Back when this was discussed some time ago, we were all too spread out for it to be feasible. And then everyone (myself included) buggered off somewhere else for a while. But if anyone fancies a picnic and/or a hearty display of pintsmanship at some indeterminate place and time, please drop me a line. Plus, if any of you lot from overseas (particularly the ones whove been so welcoming to me when Ive darkened your respective doorsteps) happen to be heading down under, you know who youre coming to see. Oh, and after youve seen them, you really should pay me a visit too. Thats it, actually. Oh, and dont bother with the new Apples in Stereo record. Its bloody awful. Bulk love, -Vanilla Flavoured David. PS: This isnt directed at anyone in particular, but Ive tried to read things that arent in paragraphs, and it hurts my brain. So, from now on, I cant be fucked trying. Sorry. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.
