Good evening,

Robin and I hosted a luncheon for Margaret Cleland (the M-i-L) on Saturday. Her husband Ian, my father Max, and family friends Libby and her daughter Lani were also in attendance.

A seafood starter followed by a superbly BBQ'd eye fillet steak with vegetables and finished with a variety of cakes was enjoyed by all. I am surprised at how much Margaret ate given all the talking she did!

Margaret is a Carlton supporter, and I, as we all know, am Essendon. During lunch the mighty Bombers got away to a cracking start, the delights of which I shared with Margaret. Fair to say, to her chagrin.

They left mid afternoon, and it was not surprising that I received a phone call later that evening to thank us for a wonderful day and to gloat at Carlton's come from behind victory. Ouch!

But as always, it was a pleasure to catch up with Margaret and Ian. There are always plenty of 'interesting' stories and they are both wonderful company.

Bye for now, BomberBoy
