"Triple J" Dinner in Darwin

Last Monday evening,in what was to be my last night in Darwin for a while, Hugh and I entertained three friends for dinner who by coincidence all have first names starting with "J".

They were Jayshree, James and Jeannette. I served one of my regular dinner offerings of Chicken Wellingtons and we enjoyed the "Keyneton Estate Euphonium 2006" given to me by the staff of the Health Library at Royal Darwin Hospital as a parting gift


Some hours later I flew out of Darwin for a few weeks at 2:20 am
Ps Thanks Jayshree for the images you shot and sent.

My last Mindil for a while

After the trip bush to the Daly, James and I took a quick walk around Mindil Market

A good long trip with James in his newly acquired Toyota Prado to the Daly River which is located 224 km south of Darwin, with a slight detour on the way home through Batchelor and Litchfield, then a dinner with James and Jeanette at her flat.

James Duncan at Darwin Sailing Club

I just spent a few pleasant hours introducing the new CDU Liaison Librarian, James Duncan to Darwin, I drove him around the town and we enjoyed a meal and a few drinks at the Darwin Sailing Club. I first met him in Brisbane a few years ago at an ANZILL Conference. Big change for James, yesterday he was a resident of Wellington, New Zealand.
