I will be in Perth in November from Tuesday the 12th until Sunday the 17. I'd love to catch up with some shippies ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

It's near Mud Rocks, where I work. It's also near Freo, which is a good place for meets.
Whaddayareckon AdamPater, rexory, Evensong, jugular? Has anyone seen The Coot recently?

I haven't had a day off since retreat in July. Things are incredibly full-on for me at the moment. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
Are you still a hospital chaplain James? I'm thinking the best I might be able to do is show you around the pastoral care department of Royal Perth Hospital after a spot of lunch in the city!

I have been sans internet for the past six days! I'm back now and yes, I am still a pastoral carer in the Geelong hospital working in cancer services. I love it!

I'd love to see the Pastoral care department!

A spot of lunch in the city would be ideal for me. There's an excellent Indian restaurant in Victoria Avenue, down the hill from the Hospital and Cathedral...

For the sake of something to argue against:
- Friday lunch
- Perth CBD
- City Spices Indian restaurant, Victoria Ave
(This is conveniently close to RP Hospital, for Evensong's private tour, if and when)
OR:
- Thursday evening
- Fremantle
(Possibly convenient for DK and others more to the south.)

Do what is currently happening with the family Christmas lunch date here. Everybody was all smiling till we put up a firm date. That brought all the disagreers out in force.

Thursday evening or Friday lunch are both fine with me. I love Indian food, yum.
WW, yes I think such a thread could prove to be very useful!
If it is on Thursday then I shall make another time to see the hospital.
9 sleeps 'til I leave.

After much discussion, my other half is still uncomfortable with me hanging out with a bunch of blokes. So I'm sorry but it looks like I'll have to pull out of this meet too.
If only there were a few more female Perth shippies!!

James. Hubby is happy for me to show you around the pastoral care department if you so wish.
It's actually not very impressive (just a few rooms in an old part of the hospital) but if you're keen out of professional interest I'd be happy to meet with you and show you around the hospital.
If you'd like to meet some of the staff and other CPE students weekdays lunchtime would be best. Otherwise Saturday after 12 would work too. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Happy to go with AP's suggestion for town.
Or, if we choose Freo, which is also closer to JtC, perhaps we could sample the delights of Little Creatures. They have good food, and VERY good beer.
If it's just drinks, there is also Who's your Mumma which has a lot more variety of other beverages.
What day is best for you, James?
Jeez, Evensong, why don't you just bring your partner with you in that case? Or perhaps rex can bring along Mrs rex?

He actually agreed to try and come. But he's not a socialite at the best of times and hanging out when he doesn't really want to be there would be the ultimate killjoy moment methinks.

I'm leaving in about three hours. I like the little Creatures suggestion, I like Little Creatures if it comes to that! Can we get food there?
I hit Perth on Tuesday or Wednesday. I have a party to go to on the Saturday evening (about 1700 I believe ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) , You Perthians do eat early, don't you). Time is basically my own so you guys sort it out and I'll fit in. The things I want to do are not time or day sensitive. I do want to go to Mount Magnet for a couple of days to see my sister.
DK, I think I will not be able to go to the Melbourne meet as I really want to make the most of Perth and all it has to offer.

Did you wash the meal down with Little Creatures Pale Ale? Delightful. I've had another couple of brands around because I couldn't get this. When I came back to it I realised just how much better it was than the other (reputable) brands.

Cancel that! Tomorrow evening is my first Parish Council meeting. Better not miss it. Any chance we can rearrange to Friday lunch. I'm also committed Friday evening. This is not good.

Yes, Friday lunch is good for me. Everyone happy with City Spices? I'll book a table for, what, six but expect four?
I'll book for noon - but let me know if that's too early.
(City Spices do a good Thali platter for lunch. Located in Victoria Avenue between Hay Street and Victoria Square, just down from the Cathedral.)

He crossed the Tiber - of course it's "the Cathedral" for him!
JtC has just been in touch. He's left his Ship password at home, so can't post here. But he would like it known he'll be joining us tomorrow. I shall be picking him up. Turns out he's staying with former parishioners of mine two parishes back! What was that stuff about six degrees of separation?

Bloody good lunch. Cheers, y'all.
Pity about rexory's car. Some fit young men, plus jugular and I, had to push it off the busiest intersection in the city. Then poor rex had to wait for the RAC to replace his battery. So we missed out on his esteemed company.
Enjoy the rest of your trip, James.
