Today I am sending Dan off to Australia where the kind hands of Mike and Lynette, Donna and Wes and Messy Jessy will pass him on as he moves around that great country - and I mean that because I love it and almost regret not taking that assisted passage all those years ago.

It will be a busy weekend, methinks. Going back to my home town, it'll be good:
