The Queen is Dead

Ha! I wish.. Clearly all the Smiths that I am listening to on my walk to work are having an effect on me... It is, however, Queen's Birthday this weekend and we have a well-earned break from work.  It is also the weekend before the return of Dr Ropata, late of Guatemala, to this parish.  Already his slightly ironic, slightly wooden delivery is enlivening the Shorty St promos.  I wonder if his return will have the seismic impact that the return of Rachel McKenna and Guy Warner did last year?  A great question deserving serious consideration.  In other news, we have indeed booked our trip to sunny Queensland and will be heading there in August for some winter sun.  And crocodiles.  Well, maybe not the latter so much, if we can avoid it.
