My dear K man;
I was in tears of laughter reading the Strailya coloquial slang you've dished out. Funny, funny, funny...
Then I had chills reading Clancy of the Overflow...every word took me back to my youth. We had to learn it verbatum at school. Not only that, the words are as true today as they were when it was written. Bloody fabulous...emotive!
Melbournite's helped to forge our coloquial language more than any other city...a great Australian legacy. I've understood most, so thanks for the updates on one's I didn't.
Hmm...what should I bring to the celebrations? How about good ole bread and butter pudding (with raspberry jam on top) and home-made green tomato relish to complement the scorched proteins.
Oh, and thanks Paul! Eye fillet sounds a treat; I'll add lashings of scorched mushrooms and bacon ta boot! Yum!!!
Sara xoxo

Sara what a bonza bute sheila yous is. If you just brung the bread and butter pud that would be bonza. I will bring the reading material for the dunny out the back. Hope there is no red backs hanging around.
Bloody nora I am having fun with this. Hard to remember all of the slang. As for Clancy of the Overflow. That was mandatory in my time as well. Tried to get another piece in but it was a lot to big. Couldn't condense it and do it justice. 'The man from snowy river.' Oh well Kanga may the aussie Santa be with you.

Dearest Peter;
In 29 days, something is occurring, so it's a mystery and will stay that way. I get it.
An old sock? You're so much more than this my friend. They're tucked away in the back of the sock drawer never to be used again, or tossed out. This isn't what you are to me or others who support you. It's a sad metaphor Kanga. The jest and joy is going out of your cyber voice; where are you and who are you becoming?
Please lean on me. You don't have to 'tell'. Expressing your emotions and fear can be achieved without getting into details.
Looking forward to reading from you...
Sara xo
