Cheers to Ross for putting together such a beautiful walk in the Royal Botanical Garden. It's an amazing place in the heart of the Melbourne.

Worst Virgin flight experience, other than delay there was an intoxicated pax ahead in 3C who was talking waaaay too loud the whole way. Obnoxious idiot. Standing in the Skybus line so will be there about 7:45

Was great to finally turn up late (thanks VA) and get around to most people at the long table.
I was asked to remember tom911 and wijomas and we all raised our glasses to them.
Certainly was enough food, some great chats and a bit of red wine 🍷 drunk and nothing quite like being told they were closing on us (the final 4 of us)

Aussie Rules Football
For those going to the "Footy", the plan is to meet outside Gate 1 at "Marvel Stadium" at 12:30pm.
From there we enter, buy lunch (maybe a Meat Pie), perhaps a beer and make our way to out seats.
The game is scheduled to commence at 1:10pm and should be finished before 4pm.

Covid Doctor help
I'm getting nowhere trying to line up a prescriber for covid antiviral. I need to start it today. Anyone local with a good relationship with a doctor that can order this? The courtyard is no help. Any other suggestions?

I don't know if it is available privately at all. I would have a chat with your travel insurance.
