If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write things worth reading or do things worth writing.
-- Benjamin Franklin

On Friday evening Sydney served the reddest of sunsets at New Beach Road at Darling Point. Given Sydney’s propensity for sub-division, it is something of a miracle that Gina and Kevin’s house has remained virtually unchanged even with the latest renovations as the original character remains undisturbed. Great panoramic views and casual entertaining areas and conversation with the legal eagle create a party atmosphere. The magnificently country styled paved courtyard goes well with the communal concept of living areas... Just as well the house has high ceilings as spell checker Harriet and brownie maker Georgie are very tall for their age. In fact, Tom, the Pro Goalie, is as tall as mmwwaaa at 15 he is the youngest player in the adult football team. Gina always provides opportunities to dip my toes into the well of memories and this includes voices I have not heard for ages. In the company of Phillip and Rosemary, John and Davina, Tim and Penny all kinds of flowers go to seed. During lent people who deny themselves beer and canapes are as rare as hen’s teeth ;-) For someone who is as busy as Gina it is hard to comprehend why anyone would opt for cooking dinner for 12 when at 5:30 pm you are still toiling away at your computer. However, between 6 and 7 Gina had performed a number of miracles including catching a huge deep ocean salmon which was grilled to perfection ... Unforgetable was also the cabernet sauvignon labelled as St George 1993 vintage which John generously shared ;-)
