Our last gathering for the year with the full compliment of all members of the brunch club. To a cafe favourite of the university students Clipper in Glebe.
Sitting at long share table we all enjoyed our brekkie this morning.
The service at this cafe is fantastic. Absolutely 5 golden eggs! Efficient, fast paced and friendly.
The menu has a wide range to suit all tastes. Brad and I chose eggy crumpets with bacon and maple syrup were an interesting choice, crumpets and egg were a bit on the solid side - chewy. Andrew's regular big brekkie looked good.
Brad's friends from Melbourne arrived and brunch was in the midst of text messages of meeting points. A download of the week's activites and the travel plans for Christmas coming together were the general discussion as well as auction viewings still to come. A scanning of the news is alarming - Gas hub in WA and Polyamory!! what is next - where is the voice of everyday Australians our Federal Government is an embrassment.
Clipper has special significance as it was here in 2010 that I joined these guys quite by accident. We began our Saturday morning adventures and the Brunch Club started for me.
QUIZ 13/15 this week so finished the year on an Distinction average for the last month.
ANDREW: Wonderful end to a difficult year. Clipper is superb. A full 5 golden eggs from me
BRAD: Oh, I love "the Clipper". Great to end the year where it began for the trio. What a year it has been. Certainly not dull and the Brunch Club has certainly fulfilled its manifesto. Can't wait to see what 2012 has in store!
SAL: It was mixed feelings this morning I will miss the two main men now for six weeks or so whilst we go our separate ways for the Christmas break.
As this year comes to an end we had a moment of pause to remember some very close friends we've lost to earthquake and cancer.
So we are all looking ahead to next year and hoping for a positive and bright 2012.
