Still frozen and rainy. I trotted off to the gym and returned two hours later to a hot pancake and bacon lunch; thanks Dad! After a few hours of lounging, we set off for the hour-long bus and train ride to meet Alice down south in Jannali. It’s hard to say who was most excited, but Alice definitely won for enthusiasm, driving us to the beach at Cronulla, Suzanne’s apartment, Sharkies’ club, Alice’s own old house, and she would have shown us the pharmacy where she used to work, except that someone finally mentioned plaintively how hungry we all were, and she obligingly turned for home. Frank was waiting eagerly with cricket on the television, and Alice served us chopped lamb in tomato sauce, and for dessert, a deliciously fancy thin crepe and brandy-raspberry sauce and cream. Frank was kind enough to drive us home and we were in bed, stuffed and sated before 10.
