I got a couple things yesterday (including a handmade gift from Wolf) and need to pick up a few more before posting to recipient. Hoping to get it done by end of week.
This is gonna turn out to be a smorgasbord of goodies. :)
Thanks again Wolf!

You, sir, are quite welcome. I had a lot of fun, and I was in dire need of fun!

We are definitely getting together again ... much sooner than the 2 year span since our last meet! I'm thinkin January.

:bawling:
[envious ... wltm wolf and classic for some fun]

I was going to post something similar, then realised I'd actually moaned like a cheap whore already in this thread, so didn't dare.

Sounds like a fun trip though chaps.

Yabbut Sundae, we have our own GTG and they will be envious, right?

Zactly

We went to the mall. You go to Scotland.

Or the big island, as we call it over here!

I'm feeling a bit slack that I've never met any of our Aussie dwellars irl to date.

Maybe we should get our shit together? lol

It's not like you guys can say, "Well, let's meet in the middle, shall we?"

It would be like me going to see BigV and then swinging around to visit Elspode.

(I'm on the East Coast, BigV is on the West, and 'spode is in the middle)

At least Australians understand the concept of vastness. Although you have more big empty than we do.

I just happen to live within an hour of undertoad, classicman, jimhelm, richlevy, steve dallas, bruce, blue curacao, spexxvet and a couple of other folks I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention. Heck, there's a couple in that list that I've not managed to meet yet.

Yes that's true. It's about 20hours drive to where Zen lives from here. About the same to Sandypossum's place (from what I can gather from her posts) and Ducky used to live a fair way away, but she's only 4 hours drive now, which is really not much by Australian standards. Actually, probably closer to 5 from here, but who's counting. lol

Your meeting other Aussies IRL reminded me of this map someone sent me of Australia ;)

My secret santa gift is going in the mail today. Hopefully it'll get there before xmas although I'm not holding out too much hope at this stage. :(

Will there be a "Look what I got!!!!" thread?
