My 20-year reunion is coming up - interstate (i.e. I am in contact with VERY few of my old classmates, generally speaking). We’re having a night-time do (partners invited) and a picnic (kids invited) the following day. I want to enjoy it.

Nooksters, please tell me:

(1) Would you bring your partner (or would your partner be bored)?

(2) What would you do or suggest (I am in contact with the organiser) to make it a fun night/day?

Tell me your experiences, please!

WonderBoy, 6, and WonderGirl, 3, are driving me crazy - talking at me at once. Do all kids do this or is it just my chatterboxes.

(Four Corners this week, Australian Story in two parts a few weeks ago, radio news re:Four Corners piece etc, insight not so long ago). It has seemed to come in a rush - at least from where I sit (the couch).

I’m particularly interested in the fact that grannies are becoming drug smugglers and drug “cooks” - anyone else think that’s pretty weird?

I have an issue - with “cheers”. I hate it as a email sign-off. Someone signed off “cheerypop” on an email to me last week, and I rather liked that. Anyone got other suggestions beyond the usual “regards” etc?

P.S. I dunno where this aversion has emanated from but I just have it, OK? I also hate “What’s up?” in conversation.

We’ll be on the footpath, raising money for drought relief AND the Ascot Vale Uniting Church (the one that burnt down three years ago; plans to rebuild are mired in red tape, not to mention mixed mesages, courtesy MVCC) .

Cooking is being done by the people of the Ascot Vale Uniting Church.

Any requests for good old-fashioned anything? We could give it a go. Just tell us here on Nook!

Having done a quick whip around the net to check out school holiday activities, seems the Birrung Marr ArtPlay wins in the popularity stakes… all (week day) school hol offerings are already booked out!

What’s your pick of holiday activities nooksters? Do tell. Please.
