As you would expect, with a gathering of Adelaideans relaxing on a balmy evening, the chatter wanders from topic to topic, including:
- The Rundle Mall makeover, in particular, the latest rebuke from Sunday Mail columnist, Petra Starke, regarding the lack of Xmas decorations
- Surviving and/or enjoying Adelaide’s long, hot summers
- How our minds play tricks on us during moments of crisis and/or death
- How to survive the festive season without guilt or major health damage with some level-headed advice from iNform Health and Fitness’, Dr Nathan Harten
- How to keep your car running reliably on your summer holidays (if you get some)
NOTE: The ensemble included special guests; Karen, Dale and Nardia, along with Nigel Dobson-Keeffe aka Nigel One.

South Australian Drink Of The Week: Nardia provided an Annie’s Lane, Non-Vintage Sparkling Shiraz. It was the perfect drop for toasting our late patron, Queen Adelaide on such a warm night. Tasting notes.
