1. My son does not have a hairy back - it's just a bit of fluff. Anyway it's better than having hairy palms like people from Burnley. You'll all be interested to hear Christian has a nice new watch so expect those direct debits to go up soon (Swiss timekeeping is extremely important when reporting from the frontline of Luigi's gelateria on the Spanish steps). Matches sale starts next week Fraser.

2. Happy anniversary Jon & Jo! (Hope you can come and see Louis soon)

3. Must meet up soon girls, anyone for tea and cake in the park?

Are we supposed to mention Dom and Michelle on this or can we just use it as a message board for our real friends? (Thanks for birthday cards you two, missing you of course but of course will not admit to this)

Yes Carmel is amazing (ok havent actually been there but read books and seen pictures!)... I am at home on maternity leave. A bit weird actually since I am on top form and still 3 weeks to go - have no idea what to do with my time but no complaints! I spend my time reading, watching movies etc etc as well as playing on the internet - its a hard life. Well your travels seems great, what else can I say - lucky you :-)

PS: Oh yes, I can see D on the balcony having a beer with Clint!! A perfect match.

Anniken

BONJOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys, I hope you're doing fine. You're in LA I believe?!!!!! Have you found your dream home yet?!!!!

I must admit I've not been on your website since you left... it's been mad in Paris........... I work like a donkey!

I have been thinking of you and I wanted to send you "bisous de Paris",

A bientot, Rachel

Oh my God check out that mullet in Queensland. Such intricacy around the ear!!!!

Good to see you two are having fun. Looks fantastic!!!

Been with Jon and Duncs this weekend - reminiscing. (everyone looking forward to seeing you both.)

Duncs and J are feeding Louis - parsnip puree?? Is that allowed? I am sure child protection should be involved.

Will call soon!

PS Duncs has kept this quiet so far (I hope the world is not reading this) - but Louis has a hairy back?!!!!!

Well hello,

 Good to see you are still having a great time . The piccies of new zealand were stunning- more please!

Also good to see the range of wildlife you are managing to capture- building up quite a zoo!  The managerie from our window of rabbits, pheasants, ducks and the odd Grey hound look even more common now. But really, whats with the lichen?  Important stuff as it is it just brings back memories of bad science lessons for me!

Anyway look forward to the next update!

Ps: Miche- short hair looks good!

Helooooooooooo!!!! I'm back. My access to the internet has been restored (after being escorted out of the building a few weeks back) and all is well in the kingdom of Genesis. Final drop into production from release 7 is going ahead this weekend, you'll be pleased to know (or maybe not). Currently it is rumoured that you don't actually care ( I find that hard to believe, but such are the office rumours). Not to feel left out (apart from not being able to wear sharons - I no longer have the legs for it), we have been relocated to the lovely Kings Cross offices  were is hotter than Bundy beach without the rum. The sweating temperatures and the lack of oxygen mean that after three most people are unable to formulate coherent sentences, great fun. Yesterday we implemented the latest on ambience technology control devices (windows that open) and if it wasn't for the couple of pints we had a lunch time we could have almost perceived a slight increase in productivity. Never mind, maybe next week. Alternatively we could downgrade dress down to Sharon Friday, followed by Margarita Wednesdays to uplift the mood in the office (just a thought). Out of curiosity, what has the headline of the main newspaper in NZ been for the last week (A friend of mine that went there for the honeymoon said that for the two weeks he was there, the front page was occupied by the story, dog bites man). Must go, speak soon.

Hello!!!

Just been catching up on your travels and of course the entertaining photos! We are glad to hear you are liking Sydney, our advice is to stay there and wait for us! Keep having a good time and we look forward to seeing you again very soon....
