I would love to come but it might be a bit tricky.
I will have to sharpen my pen and try to swing a visit.

Hey, I found your green beetle :)

June's fine for me :) I wonder if Shanna and Nathan will be back from their trip by then? They're good value.

I have a job on 25th June and it will be immediately after that. Probably a four day weekend.

Do you know exactly when, Martin? I'm on leave as of next Friday and will be away from Brisbane (on and off) for a couple of weeks.
