I could have met you and your wife for a glass, as I was living there then

That would have been nice. My wife was there for the GAS (Glass Art Society) conference at the university. I attended a few of the sessions and demos along with her. We remember the wonderful produce market/farmer's market in what I remember was the center of town. It was our first and only trip to Australia and we had a great time there are the other places we stayed. We'd already bought airline tickets but the company I worked gave me a chance to do a little training at our office in Sydney so we were able to spend a few days there that we wouldn't have normally been able to do at a rather nice hotel my company paid for. We also visited Kangaroo Island and the Barossa Valley.

There's a little glass art store in Adelaide. I have a beautiful perfume decanter my friend gave me as a parting gift. I know that market well, and also the Barossa Valley. I'm sure you enjoyed Sydney, as it's a top-notch, world-class city. I have a friend who worked there for awhile, and was put up in a hotel across from the Sydney Opera House. Her view from the window was often cruise ships.

This is me. I just finished a round of golf and having a beer, waiting for the rest of the group to come in. This is what it's all about. Fun and companionship.

One of my favorite pictures of myself doing one of my favorite things, wine tasting. This was taken in Adelaide at the Wine Centre in 2005.

I know the wine centre @asp3 as I live in South Australia although I’ve never been in there.

The Barossa valley is beautiful but it has been hit very hard by the virus it was where the first cases in S.A. we’re discovered they we’re OS travellers who were quarantined in a motel there so many were afraid to visit the area @Pinky that thrives on tourism / wine sales
I was living in Adelaide in 2005 as well ( not now )

I'm so sorry to hear it's been hit so hard. I hope they're able to control it better than we have here.

This was only taken in mid March at our ballroom dancing venue in Adelaide ( tee tree gully ) before we were locked down

Thank you. I don’t mind at all. I’ve been enjoying letting my grey hair grow out but my wife can’t wait for me to dye it again. I’ll take a picture before my hair is black again.

Not so much now Holly. He looks just like his dad, Charlie, my step-dad. RIP.

Oh, c'mon, Holly. I looked good when I was young but hardly movie star material. Further more, I couldn't act my way out of a paper bag. But, thank you for that compliment.

well you're welcome, because I truly think you did look like a movie star.. that photo looks like an actress playing the part of a nurse..

I can assure you, it is I in that photo and I slaved to have it taken. I guess the title of the thread figures in then.

Now, you have me studying it and I guess as I look at it, we all looked pretty much like we were playing a part.. I have the emotional scars from getting there. It was for our yearbook of course.
