Thanks to all those who came along to the casual gathering at the local watering hole on Saturday evening.

The invitations went out broadly, but Steph was honoured to have so many people show up.  The footy tipping community was well represented.  It was great to see Erin following here world tour, the Longden's returned from Peru, Av returned from US, Canada, Japan (Allan laid with a cold was a no-show) and Bruce who is just returned from a two week flight around Australia.  Then there was the Glenn's along with Lou and 10month bub, Issie.  Steph got in a cuddle of this cutie.   Imagine next time Steph will have to chase Issie all over the room to get the same cuddle.

Apart from these thanks to Paul & Shivaun (further representation for the O'Maras), Luke & Sarah, Nat & Anthony (further representation for the Fosters), Mandy called in on the way to another party, Nikki & Chris (further representation for the Prices) Paul, Liv and Jeanette (and Stuart in spirit).  And then there were the usual culprits; Kate and Ellie

We took over the pub with a wonderful night of food, wine and chat.  A great memorable night for Steph.

Thanks all

Marg and Fiona have spent a week in Canberra helping me set up home here at Canberra.  The apartment at the Waterfront has proven very liveable and is now fully decked out with guest wing, 3D TV, a view to die for and undercover parking (important for -6 degree mornings).
