Day 14. Saturday 9^th June, 2007.

Today we went over to the Glaude’s mid morning. A little bit early, as it turned out, as the Saturday morning morning lie in wasn’t fully completed! Unfortunately tools and Jack’s bike had been stolen from the shed a day or two earlier. Jack is particularly miffed as this is the second of his bikes that has been stolen from here. Remus lost most of his new tools, but, luckily for Ean, the not-so-new tools that he had lent Remus had not been taken. We did ‘catch up’ for most of the day until it was time to leave for dinner at the Mandarin Chef. Remus offered to drive us all as he (and Jane) have decided that life is better without alcohol. We were the first to arrive, but everyone was early so we were starting to look at menus before the appointed 7pm. At Vee’s suggestion we ordered 8 starters (one each) and 4 mains. This worked out very well. We had a lot of variety and everyone had enough to eat without there being heaps left over. I showed off my new camera, and Brian, Jane and Remus all shot short videos of the group. The food was good, sometimes very good, and the service was excellent. Rosemary (and I) got a little cold so Brian asked that the air conditioner being turned down.
