Canada bound

[Max Hedges]

Michael is leaving here on 3 July stopping at Calgary and heading for Toronto on the 7 July. Any vegemite requests, put your order in now, we may even have room for 1 packet of tim tams if required , don't forget the flavour wanted they range from original, chewy, double chocolate, caramel, tia maria, and even chilli. He has transport arranged from the airport in toronto, if the person maybe wanting tim tams would be able to meet him at the airport for a quick delivery before the other Canadians get their hands on them.


John

Could you meet Michael at Holstein sometime between 8 July and 19 July to pick up some stores. We have had good rains the best since last November and I have been flat out on the tractor.

Hi Max
What about another suitcase full of Gregg's Book. I'm sure there will be plenty of takers.

Michael's welcome in our house anytime should he wish to pass a day or two in Toronto. Please pass that along as we'd love to meet him (and listen to him whinge about you). I'll PM you my telephone numbers just in case.

Max: Is your last paragraph directed to me (Jon)?...if so, I don't quite understand it.

[Max Hedges]

IYes I really meant you Jon sorry about the spelling mistake. We have a spare second hand grease gun which Michael will take with him if we can slip it in hia luggage and you might be able to catch up with at Holstein sometime. We still have your phone number will ring sometime soon.

Vegemite is probably one of the most versatile and useful (not to mention delicious) substances in the universe.

It's actually made from yeast extract and there are faint pretenders such as Marmite and Promite but nothing beats the champ, Vegemite.

Aussie children are raised on the stuff, and if you have a trawl through the forum (search for Vegemite) you should find numerous references to it's legendary power.

"Not bad" was the endorsement from Geoff Winnington-Ball - I have this on videotape.

[Jon Skagfeld]

Crikey...0715 this AM, phone rings, it's bloody Max!

What a pleasant knock up.

We've made preparations for evil plans when Michael arrives in these environs!!!

Thanks for the call from Yass, Max, good on ya!

The Tim Tams have arrived safely on the west coast so are getting closer. Michaels shopping list consists of patchwork quilts, crown royal, gift for little sister, maple syrup, maple syrup lollies etc etc so sorry Mark there is a baggage limit so there is no room. When Michael left his bag was .6kg under the limit and that doesn't leave much room and he had to carry the biscuits and rum.

Well if things don't work out, at least he'll be able to cheer himself up on the walk home.
