With the van out of commission, we took the train out to Traralgon to meet up with Chook (Bernadette) and her family. The area has 3 major power stations producing nearly all the power for Victoria and even selling some to NSW. Wayne works at one of them, leaving very early am. Never the less, we all stayed up past midnight, and Wayne and Libertus until 2am drinking wine and talking.
Despite having only met Chook on a couple of family occasions, it was almost like we had known each other for ever; rather like meeting up with Cathy for the first time. It wont surprise anyone that there are a number of similarities between them! Its a shame it couldnt be for longer, but then, I dont think it will take long to catch up next time!
