Lucy Crooks (#1) Hi G and G (my favourite people around) how are we doing?? well actually dont answer that because i have just learnt from your blogs. have had a busy week as i had my dancing exam on wednesday and then went to blenheim on friday. I pulled a muscle in my back a week or so ago and had to endure some serious pain for my exam on wednesday which really really sucks. i have been going to physio but thats about all i can do. then friday we travelled up to blenheim for the tour de malborough. I raced the itt on saturday and then the crit heat which my back started spasming and i didnt end up doing so well. Really painful day for me and so Kevin and Paul (coaches) ended up scratching me from the races on sunday which i was really gutted about. so guess all i can do now is let it get better and hope i get into nationals team to race in palmy. . . (fingers crossed). we have exams starting at the end of this week and next week for prelims and now they have decided for chch to take the better of our prelims or real exam marks to take a bit of pressure off due to lack of teaching time (earthquakes snow and etc) anyways. I hope you guys are having a lovely time away, which i can tell you are, and look forward to you coming back. Lots of love Lucy xoxoxoxox

Mike Hi guys. Just back from a 3 1/2hr ride and thought i'd catch up on your travells. I have to say it was the best so far! Without looking at the photos i could see the beaches, tunnels, bars, markets (but unfortunately not the young girls bearing all...) Kev i know why there are so many churches - for the dirty old men to go to confession! It sounds magic where you are and i would love to be there! You are right about life not changing too much here SSDD! Janny, pleased to hear you are back in good health, Kev, I paid your GST and Ron sorted your ACC (I also paid Ians parking ticket so you wouldn't end up in court Janny!). Kev have a great day tomorrow for Fathers Day, no pressy this year - nothing would compare to your trip (and we can't send it anyway) But we will be thinking of you and miss you heaps!! Don't fall over reading what is by far my longest note - i've been saving it up! Love you guys xx Mike

Jane Fletcher Hi there, We almost back to normal routine etc. We BOTH played golf yesterday. I did quite well even though I put the first 2 balls in the river. How embarrassing. I ended up with 41 points and won a ball for the least putts!! All good here. Weather has been fabulous since we got home and all the trees are in blossom etc. Keep well. xxx
