Brisbane today, Melbourne nalaki*
You never know what you'll see when walking to "Pancakes at the Manor" in an old church downtown,
or when seeing the Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe at the Gold Class theatre in Indooroopilly. I remember when I was in high school, up in the hills of south India,
we went on a hiking trip with the principal's wife--Mrs. Willy. She took us up around 8000ft to hike on a ridge but the winds and misty clouds were so strong that our lives were endangered so we had to come down to a lower level. We found an abandoned mail house and lighted a fire. All sitting around, drinking hot chocolate, she started to read aloud from a novel that had come out recently by CS Lewis. It was The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and it was 1956. 
Enjoyed meeting cousins Jean and husband, Jeff and Joan and husband, Paddy and son, David with Margo, too at their RSL club in Chermside. Thank you to Jean and Jeff. Jeff is still using his stethoscope, Oli.
Bill and I had to go by La Dolce Vita for old times' sake!
*Tamil for anytime after today...
