hey Lee!

my friend Deborah, (who you met at your birthday party beer and pizza and rain night), has friends called Marina and Tom, and they own a house on Dangar Island, (probably shack is more correct - Marina says it's like a termite mound), just down from the water tower, and apparently Tom has spent ages talking to Matthew about the dinghy, (hey, did you know that's a Hindi word - wow! the things you find out when I'm checking spelling), and Marina spent ages talking to Matthew's Dad ... so.

good luck with the oysters, I was reading Frank Moorhouse on oysters, and he says fresh is best, they keep very well in a hessian sack, don't take it out of the shell until you're going to eat it, and don't, whatever you do, wash the thing, remove grit with the tip of a knife or similar implement, etc.
