Hi ScientistMel

(great name, by the way, kind of a feminist Bob the Builder ...)

I would love to join a curry night. When is the next one? (feel free to direct me to another thread admins...)

As for the coast, well yes, sometimes I long for an uninterrupted view of nothing but water and big skies. But at least CH has wild mountains. A flavour of the dangerous and unpredictable makes an Aussie feel much more at home

For now, all the best
