Tonight I was invited to Howard and Di Looney's for a meal. They were the people that I 'surprised' by 'rocking up' on their doorstep my second week here. They were the only people in Warrnambool that I knew and I never told them that I was coming. Lovely people both and I am sure that we will catch up again, most likely in Ireland.
They invited a friend that I had met in 2007, Peter Kearney, from Carranballac P-9 in Melbourne. peter was the guy who introduced me to Richard Cranium and how to teach your dog to speak. When Gerry and I visited he kept us entertained with great ideas and stimulating conversation. we would have loved it if IPPN could have booked him for Conference. Di and Howard are semi-retired, they now do consultancy work, so the conversation all night was very challenging and stimulating. it helped, this time, that I know a lot of the jargon and references. I got an email in 2008 from Peter saying that he had lost the lovely Irish key-ring that we gave him and I took great pleasure in setting up the moment to give him another one. He was chuffed (see photo). It is the simple things in life...
