[GEM Development] GEM Dialog Problems

[Peter Green]

G'day, Chris!

A belated reply... renovation season is upon us. I see from Scott's most 
recent e-mail that he is closer, which I'd guessed from the Newtown 
postcode. That's just across the valley from us, though few people 
realise that Marrickville Road runs roughly along what must originally 
have been a non-perennial watercourse, and things can only go up from 
there. Still, Silverwater is a shorter drive than anywhere in Mexico 
(i.e, for our American readers, /*South of the Border*/ from NSW).

It was cheeky, but I get the impression that Thomas is a pretty nice 
bloke, someone you can tease without its being aggressive.
