G’day Evil Knievel.
I am available for Saturday and/or Sunday.
Day one for me, thanks e.r.
Very good Smokie. Stay out of trouble.
Thanks Paddy. You’re up.
Citrus – thanks for letting me know earlier. I wonder how the:
pink ball
Gabba humidity -in-wet-season
Pakistani woeful record away from home
Mickey Arthur
second game blues
weather
will affect things. I wonder if people will attend.
I’ll be there Day 3 but no guarantee of something given Sunday is a planned shopping day.
No worries Mick.
Hope Day 3 is a beauty.
