Almost choked on my mango when reading your blog on the number of reading spots you so much enjoy at Riverbend", an old mate from my Rabaul days emailed me some years ago.
Well, don't eat a mango while you read this, or you may choke again when I tell you about "Melbourne", another peaceful reading room which I built some years ago near the very bend of "Riverbend".
I decided to call it "Melbourne", so that if the phone rings, Padma can tell the caller quite truthfully, "Sorry, but Peter's gone to Melbourne!"
I may go to Melbourne right now; why, I may even stay there overnight!
Don't choke on your mango again, mate! Lukim yu bihain pukpuk!
