Apartment 3401...

Friday Feist apartment 3401.... (Sylv here - he means feast)

Just polished off a very large takeaway order of Thai, we have quite a gathering with Stelanie Alexander from Adelaide visiting and both Gen and Suz who arrived tonight. Add Karen and Graeme with the beautiful gorgeous Willow (Guide Dog extraordinaire Ambassador), Sylv and I, and it is quite a party. (Stelanie here...Anthony omitted to mention the copious amounts of SA wines).

The fat farm has been in full swing tonight and hopefully is working...sleep, eat and sleep and eat...plus a walk of the Tan this morning which is a 4km walk around the Botanical Gardens, directly opposite where we are staying. Did a half hour in the gym late in the day too, trying to sweat out/pass all the narcotics through the system, serious withdrawals happening I reckon.

Sylv and Stelanie disappeared early afternoon to a trade fair and plundered it. I had a very relaxed lunch with a  good friend of mine Chris Flaherty who heads up Treasury wines these days. I haven't seen these guys for so long so it was awesome, Chris' office is just down at South Bank.

By the way, I am trying to concentrate and there is a whole debate about the fact I should be reading 50 Shades of Grey while I am so crook, they reckon it would solve all ills...and would fast track recovery.

That is a story for another day. Loud and raucous at the dinner table, a great bunch of  poorly disciplined friends and family. There is a lot of love at the table!!!

Suzannah was explaining to me tonight that my spelling has not improved...apparently 'scarfe' has no 'e'  oh well, Tanja will sort it hopefully.

Tomorrow we are off to check out Gen's Melbourne house to see how the tenants are looking after things, apparently it is looking a little shabby! It has been some time since she lived in Melbourne, but what a great investment.

A great short break, plenty of laughs, lots of food and sleep and so far so good, a nice break.
