Matso’ brewery for lunch, where did the morning go? How did we get home last night? Does anyone remember getting off the hovercraft? It was a great lunch, the gangs all here with jugs aplenty; the food was brilliant the music was playing (around the back in the beer garden) and the climate ideal if a little windy, “what would our friends in Perth be doing right now?” We laughed and laughed until we forgot what the joke was.

Lunch ended all too soon, but then it was time for a BBQ dinner on the beach and to watch the sunset. Then wind still blowing from lunchtime got stronger and the temperature dropped and freezing to death was longer a laughably remote possibility so we headed for cover at the old Sun Theatre to see the hilarious French farce ‘The Diving Bell and the Butterfly’ about some bloke spending his time in bed having kisses blown at him by beautiful women. The movie was actually an uplifting true story but freezing to death under blankets made it a farce, why didn’t we remember that Sun now has a temperature controlled theatre complex just down the road.
