jane’s aunt and uncle arrived today from scotland.  they arrived, but their luggage didn’t.  it made it to Sydney apparently so should be here soon.

i chaired a three hour meeting this morning which involved lots of disagreements, but not as many as it could have so i’ll chalk that up as a victory.

jane bumped in to our across-the-road neighbours when she was walking Pearl and ended up inviting them along for the walk which was good.

this evening jane’s aunt and uncle (who from now on will be known as A Barb and U David) drank pink champagne (a tradition for them apparently) and then went for a walk in the cemetry and came back rather tired.  A Barb fought the sleep back longer and delivered sweets and birthday presents.
