Sounds like you are putting in a lot of good work. I have tried to message you a coupleof times, but technology is poor here in the mountains of Essex.
We are all at my place, having just watched England v Tonga in the rugger. A good game and much shouting, with relief in the end. Evreyone doing well apart from the usual suspect who is smashing more things up by the hour.
Keep giving it 110% for the full 90 minutes, and cover every blade of grass.

Hiya.
Well, apparently you went sea Kayaking today. Dave is so jealous I can't tell you! I may end up hausbandless if you keep up this business of enjoying yourself. He's getting all misty eyed about his own memories of the Kiwi Experience. But he's never mentioned debauchery...funny that.
Champions League as follows:
Liverpool 1 - Porto 1 Chelsea 1 - Rosenburg 1
Irons 6th in the Premiere league! Apparently thats quite good, well for West Ham anyway. Dave Says you must return if they win the league. So we'll never see you again then.
England Rugby-Pants. But expect you already knew that, being in New Zealand an all.
That's all for now See you soon Sarah
Sarah And Dave
Hey there.
Thought we'd better post a message at some point. Looks like you're having a great time mate. Love the pics and the quotes with it very funny. Keep it up, we enjoy. Glad to see you're keeping up tradition of being horrendously hungover too. Nice to know nothing really changes. See you again soon mate. LOve Dave and Sarah. PS-Minnow you are a sad sad bunny! Neighbours?
Minnow
Hi Marv,
Seeing as I'm unable to keep you up to date with things like football goings ons, did anyone else notice Andy and Lou from Little Britain in the background of The Scarlet Bar in Neighbours today? As soon as Lou turned his back, Andy was off playing the motorbike arcade game. Classic!
Keep up the fun mate
Johnboy
Sounds like you're having fun..... Good to see you're keeping up the Meat eating!! Since gaining 17 lbs in two weeks in America have now lost 9 lbs in a week...... I feel like a celebrity! Hope Seattle is fun there's another tall building to go up!!!
More importantly: Everton have signed Yakubu Adriano turned down a move to the Hammers
Hope the West coast has better beer.
Take it easy

Howdy Yankee boy,
I agree with your assessments of Canadian beer. I sampled a great many, including Sleeman's (Original and Honey Brown), Moosehead, Alexander Keiths, Kookanee and The Granville Island Brewing Company. Despite a wide range of names, appearances and claims, they were all:
Pissy.
Fizzy.
Clearly not as strong in alcohol as claimed.
Some also gave odd sugar rush headaches.
However, they did seem to taste okay after a day in the sun. Since getting back I have had a good old fashioned English ale. Foster's.
Keep up the good work. I did walk on the glass floor of the CN Tower, but only very briefly indeed.
Mairead
Hey Mat,
Gutted that we'll miss you by a few hours on our arrival home and your departure. We setting off in an hour or so back to London Town. Have a fabulous trip, Mat. Sure you'll meet lots of drinking buddies along the way. Drinking still high on the priority list of things to do and see I gather looking at your blog! We share your thoughts on the beer issue in Canada at least. Very gassy stuff.
Don't forget to put up some photos every so often.
Take care Mat.
Love Mairead x
Hayley
Hey Mat!!
Sounds like you're having a good (and very you!) time across The Pond! Get some pics up though, will you? Who would have thought the Americans were that backwards!
Seems, I'm not gonna see you on your brief return, so have a great time.
See you whenever...........
