to our house in Fremantle to party sedately |

After the 'Clark's' had gone home we did some skyping with Laurie
desperately trying to keep the laptop working |
Having learnt that our 'good' friends - the Fox's and Percy's - had
booked a weekend away 'without us' we had to
sit in the sun and cry into our beer!!!! |
