Centre Stage

And in great ozi tradition there was no better way to say goodbye to work than on centre stage with a beer in hand saying thanks to all the pommie bastards for a good time and inviting them over for a barbie. The work end of year pantomime (only something that I have recently realised is a British tradition) was the 'Wizard from Oz' so who better to enter the stage to the shouts of “HE’s BEHIND YOU” than a real Oz.

I still have one more encore with drinks tomorrow night. With all this going on it is difficult to comprehend that we still have not packed and we leave in a couple of days. It is not that we don’t want to leave but more a denial that we will be able to actually pack all our crap into the same cases we came over here with. It looks like I will be wearing 2 pairs of pants, 4 pairs socks, 3 jumpers and 2 jackets on the plane. Ok – need to go and sit on a suitcase………

We always knew you were a STAR ACT James but we are biased.
Your Weymouth team have obviously enjoyed the time with you as much as you have with them so no more Pommy jokes! You may want to go back again.

Safe journeys with love,
