Mr Primaflora and I will there, my health permitting. Spent yesterday in hospital having lumbar puncture because they thought I had meningitis. Oh what a shitload of fun that was! NEVER believe a doctor who tells you that lumbar punctures don’t hurt much. Still I intend to be well on Friday night and be there 😉 ---

And I’m sure she means ‘top you’ in the Aussie way (ie better your story) rather than the US gangster sort of way. I think. I hope. ```auto Galveston Hurricane hits - the most fatal natral disaster in US history ``` ---

Dunno if you need bookings, but I’ll be driving my famous small white toyota… 😉 Can I just ask how many Sydneysiders are there on here and will you be likely to come? Show of hands people?
