Nigel says ... Thank you to the team at the Peter MacCallum Centre for hosting us this morning. We had a really interesting visit to the research labs and some useful carb loading at lunch. It was great to meet the people involved in the research. We both now have a better understanding of the important work that is going on. For those who have not yet donated, please be generous.
We then started to pedal - so it started to pour with rain. Tomorrow we head to Wilson's Prom. A small detour via a dentist to sort out my cracked tooth will hopefully put off the requirement for root canal work!
Quiz question for all of you out there - guess the weight of Gordon's make up and pampering bag!
Enjoyed a turkish meal this evening - carb loading is important...Thanks to Denise and Mark for putting us up and taking us down to the Prom at a ridiculous hour tomorrow.

Gordon says ...
I'm tired, it's late and we have a very long day tomorrow.
The picture left is of Nigel posing at the MCG - only fitting Dennis Lillie has his foot on the head of another Pom.
Spent two hours sat in a hire truck waiting for Nigel to have his tooth fixed - I would take the piss, but I don't exactly have a reputation for dealing with pain that stoically myself.
Sod it - I'm off to bed - 3 hours driving and 5 hour walking tomorrow, and the forecast is rain.
Good luck brother-in-law of mine (and Nigel)!! I will follow your blogs with much interest (and a healthy dose of cynicism)! I may yet join you for the Miami to Broadbeach leg!
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, you're riding for a great cause. Go safely...
Much love,

Mum commented how very stylish you both looked.
ReplyDeleteAli says good luck.
Aurora knows of a new skin care product on the market for you dad, and says 'she will get a sample of it to you even if she has to kill a fat old lady'
and we guess your pampering bag weighs 1.7kg. let us know if we're close :)
I (Ella) has gone to the effort of making a blog adress so we can comment on your blogs. I'm such a good daughter.
lots of love

Thanks for all the support. Ella, you should know that you are way out with the weight of your Dad's make up bag! I would check your own supply of lippie and nail varnish if I were you! Gordon will also accept gifts of any new skincare product!
