Title: Aus
Post by: erik on December 17, 2006, 01:12:10 AM: The next biggie for us is Australia. Then we'll see as we intend to move here.

This summer (nothern hemisphere's summer) we intend to go to Aus and see Michael and Julie there. Tiina (my wife) found a research conference in Melbourne that could be used to cover at least some of the expenses. The plan seems to be functional, it is now about executing it.

LOL!!!!! It would have to be milk, it wouldnt take much vodka for this raven to lose her perch on the shoulder and end up passed out on Juhani's lap.

They might have peanuts on the flight too.. hmmm

one of the buggers hangs out around our place and ate all the leaves off the imitation grape on the front fence, which ruined it's front look in autumn.
