Tocumwal Australia.
Most probably the last news from Australia before I move back to Europe on Monday.I am still going to fly the jet-engined Caproni and would like to share my feelings about that, with you, but unfortunately I did not feel too well yesterday and today.But tomorrow at 10 will be the TIME!

Rob and Brutus have arrived yesterday so did Jari.Jari, was ” totally confused”. He left Finland specially because of the snow and cold, to find out that normally hot Australia was as cold and had snow too.
For a moment it felt like the good old times, hugging and kissing and laughing with all arriving friends.

Daan ,who arrived this morning,also mentioned snow and said ” now I am here and that means we are going to have nice weather.” Hope you are right Daan!The locals say anyhow that you are all in here for a hot summer and they are mostly correct. I will suffer in the cold in Holland!But…I bought a nice warm woollen hat!

We had a bit of a big night in Kelly’s pub.Tonight we have a party with 35. More or less a farewell from me for my “workmates” and for Jari to say thank you for the great years in Tocumwal. Hopefully he can fly here next season again with the club. They slowly make progress with the club ideas and for sure we will keep you informed.

This morning at 7.30 Dundees house was moved to the garden of Ingo Renner. Yes Ingo and Dieter are neighbours now and they can continue talking German with a VB in their hands after 4 or …was it 5.

David has his caravan ready to move. Tim and Laurel will move during the weekend and Hana’s house will move today later. A huge truck is here to move the houses without wheels,transport them and cut the pipes and wires.Leaves Swiss Chriss who wants to move his house on its own wheels!
After another cold night , the wine growers complain about the frost which “killed” their grapes . With the very expensive banana’s (13 dollar a kilo!) due to the storm from last year , we might be in for expensive wines now.
Cheers Ritz
