Well, it happened - the long awaited re-viewing of “The Castle”. It took quite a search to find a video store that had a copy in stock, but it was worth it!! The evening starts with a massive pasta meal and plenty of good wine and great friends and processes upstairs to watch the movie, with 3 who had seen it before, and six who hadn’t. All round voted a great success, and made me wonder why I hadn’t made the effort to see it again before (if you know what I mean??). Memorable moments: > [@](#): > > “Dad says, fishing is 10% skill, 95% hard work and the rest just good luck” > > “Dad loves the serenity at Bonnydoon…” > “How’s the serenity?

Do you know anything about Lead?” Gotta love it :)😃 ---
