Thanks, Andrew. Oh lovely to hear news of our
peers. Please send on our regards.
I keep in contact with Di Philpott and recently had
dinner with her and Anne Pike, Annabelle [Farnsworth/Hanson] and Ann Glanville
at The Cottage in Balmain.
We are close to the Glanvilles and spent a week in August
with them on their property at Bathurst assisting with the shearing. They both
work hard in Sydney as well as running a sheep farm! (it belonged to Ann's
parents and we spent several uni holidays there too)...
In our girlie dinner group are also Susie Rosenthal and
Lesley Yee. Ingrid Rieger also comes along to our get-togethers.
We are going with the Yees to Lyn Hammond's daughter's
wedding in November. Their younger daughter was married at Silvan Glen earlier
this year.
We enjoyed lunch at the Kirribilli Club with the Haylens
and Penny and Geoff Dillworth last month .. that's an easy venue if a casual
lunch or dinner is required .. I wonder if they have a separate function room
for a larger group?
We see Glynne and Jon Wood intermittently too .. yummy
dinners etc. Jon is working part time in his Neurology practice. I
believe Jim Wall is now retired.
Mick Donoghue is not so well. Just as he was planning his
retirement in April from his ED physician job at Gosford Hospital he became ill
and needed surgery. He is now in reasonable shape .. We called to see him
last week and he was a lot better than the previous visit. He is a beautiful
woodwork craftsman and also a collector and (prior) rider of antique motor
bikes. Mick's wife Judy was Ian's [Stokes] physio with him in his practice for
25 years.
I recently found more medical memorabilia including
clinical bulletins etc ... now deposited with the lovely Cate Storey who is
running a lovely history club at the Uni ... along with my whole medical
course! Good to see it all go to a good "home".
We are off to Dubai, Istanbul then London for a wedding
then the Rugby World Cup ... one comes to the realisation that we are, after
all, mortal and carpe diem etc.
Yes let's touch base again after our return mid November ..
All good wishes
Judy
