- No. That part is the same.

But we came up with those hats.

- So there is a fair bit in it?

- Oh, yeah.

- Honey, proud of this one.

- Happy birthday, darling.

- Oh, thanks, Mum.

- Happy birthday.

Ooh, 27, hey, sweetheart?

You know what I was doing

at your age?

Uh... the lambada?

- Listening to Wham!?

- That's not only funny, that's true.

- Dating a girl with shoulder pads?

- That's enough.

It was my first year

as assistant manager,

first company car.

- And it still looks great.

- Hey, I should've kept it.

Hey, thanks, Mum!

I thought it might be interesting

to read before you go.

Did you know that Hemingway

had written about it?

- No! Wow!

- It's a good read too.

Um... Here's the thing -

we're not actually

doing Kilimanjaro.

Had to delay the trip, but, uh...

Still definitely going,

just... matter of timing...

Don't, Mum. What?

- I'm gonna get those mushrooms.

- We're going, definitely.

If an alcoholic can climb it,

it should be a walk in the park.

Apparently, you do not go

in the rainy season.

That makes sense.

- Yeah.

- We're still doing a trek. Sort of.

- Where?

- Bali.

- Bali, eh?

Doing Uluwatu.

Mum.

That's me at 27.

Oh-ho-ho! Wow!

Mum did have shoulder pads.

She wore them well.

And Stephanie?

How's Stephanie?

Um...

Well, Steph and I are sort of, uh...

...in transition.

- What's that mean?

- I think our son's moved on.

Oh.

That reminds me.

I've got a new job.

Not too far out of town,

which is nice.

Not a big change. Basically,

doing what I was doing before.

And what is that?

One of the blokes at work

was asking.

I gotta say, I struggled a bit.

- I'm a strategic brand manager.

- I told him that.

But what's the bit

that you actually do?

I strategise brand positioning, try and

put it in the right market slice...

- I'll write it down.

- Could you? And email it to me.

OK.

You forgot your presents, sweetheart.

Oh, God! Thanks, Mum.

Amazing! And I'm gonna...

read 'em. Thank you.

- And your mail.

- Nothing much in there.

Something from the old school.

Check it out.

- OK.

- Drive carefully.

'The opportunity to hear from those

with direct experience

in a range of fields... '

Anyway,

you know what this stuff is.

- Let's make a move.

- No, keep going.

- Come on!

- We'll be late.

- I wanna hear you read it.

- Why?

- It sounds great.

- Do we even... have time?

- Oh, alright. If you want.

- Yes.

'The carcers night remains a highlight

of the school calendar... '

Wasn't when I was there.

'... and each year we ask

a number of former students

who have

distinguished themselves... '

Oh, please.

'This year the school's

governing board would like to
