One Shy of Forty

We had a number of friends over to celebrate Sean’s birthday. Everyone enjoyed the cake and a good time discussing everything from panthers in the Grampians to the merits of fire in a drought inflicted ecosystem. We have made a number of good friends in Australia and it will be sad to leave them even for six months, but no doubt harder at the end of the next round.

Speaking of friends, Frank and Sylvia brought over their games and competitive spirit the next day and we discovered more fun with Carcassonne and Blokus with dinner thrown in to keep us going.
