We had surprise visitors turn up from Oxfordshire on the 26th for a few nights. We knew Darien and Donald were moving back to a Melbourne gig (Open Universities Australia) after a long stint in England, but weren't sure when. It was great to see them - the last time was nearly 12 months ago at their place. On the 30th Paulie's old chums Kim and Becky dropped in for a night. We hadn't seen them for a while either- during a NZ trip in 2005. Paulie spent the Monday morning showing them around town. She thought Becky, an artist, would enjoy a visit to the Gallery of Modern Art.
