It's good to see that torch is still enjoying himself.

Below are some pictures taken by Dianne & Dan Powers when torch was visiting the Mid North Coast.

The shark thing was funny.  We'll know when Torch arives at PI - just listen for the sirens and screams.

Gday everybody,
As you can see, I made it safe and sound across the Nullabor.Had a lovely trip and managed to get a couple of phone No's from the lovely Qantas stewardesses  ;) ;). My first official engagement was to attend the Sandgropers club meeting to meet and greet the CHAMPIONS of the Nationals Interclub Trophy. I immediately sweet talked Ditzy out of her chair and took my rightful place at the head of the commitee table

I am looking forward to my stay with the CHAMPION West Aussies ( especially after hearing my two favourite words mentioned in the "planned "(?) itinerary ...BEER & NAKED WOMEN  ;D )

TORCH :) :) :)

[oz_idle]

Mmmmmm
does sitting at the head of the table make you President ?
And I just luv a torch that has blonde streaks.
We MUST get together.
I have a big cigar we could share

TORCH'S CULINARY DELIGHTS

On one occasion we left Torch chasing a shark at an SA beach.  Well the story didn't end there:  Torch caught the big bugger and ATE him.  Here's the proof: Torch and his mates enjoying shark fin soup.

G,DAY EVERYONE
Went out with Cathy for a cruise in ''The Ugly Duckling''



here we are on the South Perth foreshore looking across the Swan river to the city


here I am enjoying the sunshine and the city views


it started to rainwhen we got down to cottesloe beach


Bugger this is us at Swanbourne beach (sorry you cant see much of the beach....and even less of the nude bathing that I came for !!! )

I feel like I'm back in Melbourne with this fickle weather

Having a lovely time, wish you was here.

Got an invite to Marks (joker2)  50th Birthday party

well I didn't really get an invite but I wasnt going to let a small thing like that stop me !

here's Birthday Boy

dont know whats in the coffee cup ? but we all know it's NOT coffee.


Heres Ditzy  (our esteemed ??? club president )
I have absolutely no idea what she is doing to birthday boy ( being the shy quiet retiring torch that I am )
Perhaps she forgot to bring a birthday present



Heres me joining in with the girls for a bit of kareoke
thank goodness Surferboy didnt join in



I was told the ladies go inside and the men go behind the shed.......but it was dark and scarey behind the shed and there was a queue (isn't there always ) at the ladies

( i must stop doing this when there are cameras around)


It was a REALLY good night
(from the little i can remember)

( i must stop doing this too when there are cameras around)


Can't wait for The Nationals....4 days of partying !!!

TORCH
