I was thinking of that, though Sarah and Tim are thinking of having a Tasmanian break over Christmas :(
4:24 am
mattygroves
I mean, they have every right to, and they totally deserve it, but if they do, I won't be able to go until later next year

Tassy is beautiful...maybe you can hitch a ride as the au pair and they bcan have somje time to themselves
4:26 am
mattygroves
Haa! well, they're planning on driving and using the ferry...and sitting between two car seats is less than comfortable ;)
4:27 am
mattygroves
Tim's parents are retired so his mother will go out sometime around, maybe November. Sarah's dad (my ex) is going with his girlfriend in October (though not staying with them), so I suspect they'll both be glad of the break from aging parents!

9:57 am
Dorens
I moved to Philly in 1969, welki, so I traded scenes then. But I think I might remember a Schafer music festival hazily
