Dad Kate You can't say you've been bored ! You also now know more about Sydney than most. Why don't you go up the Harbour Bridge ? This would be something positive to remember Sydney. Also do Bondi Beach, something mum, you and I did not get a chnace to do ? I would like some photos just to see what it really looks like. Enjoy the last few days down under and we look forward to seeing you back home. Dad

Uncle Mark Hello my lovely Sounds like a lot of fun had by all... Mum doing her scene from psycho without the knife and dad doing singing in the rain with coco nuts. Hotel sounds a must when visiting Aus...! waldorf was it a salad but a little old. Cant believe mum and dad back soon and you 6 months. Starting to feel like summer now getting light in morning and evening. Megan been getting a few walks just lately does her normal thing of keeping clean untill the end of run then finding a muddy puddle. Jill and oliver all ok ...off to disney paris soon. Keep waxing on waxing off and dont forget to change bag on hoover. Lots of love Mark Jill Oliver xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Catherine Some of us my dear, would consider a tumble dryer a luxury you know... Where are my text messages eh? Once again detecting a distinct lack of communication. I, of course, shouldn't have to instigate conversation, seeing as you are the one who's b*****ed off. When is it exactly you're coming back? Hopefully I'll still be off for Easter. Have more fun lover, Mwah Xxxx

auntie Julie Hello Katie, Sister dear and Jew Once again thank you very much (sis) for your 2.15am text message!!!! Sorry to hear about the weather! Ha! HA! Good old blighty at the moment is raining. Been down the alloment and marked out the smaller plots. Got a shed off e bay but had to pick it up quickly. Had to hire a van, it was too small for Pete to drive, so I had to drive it. It was a large van ,next size up from a transit!!!! I was very nervous, not about the driving but the width and if I had to reverse. The shed was in lee on solent and it took us 2 hours to take it down in the ladies garden! In the dark the three of us were unloading it on the allotment last night. Hoping to put it up the weekend if it does not rain! Try and post some photos, we have not seen any in ages,love to see sis and jew in their blue suits!!!!!! Typing this from work in half term, only one other person in, in our department. It would have been Amy's 85TH birthday this week and not sure if all the family are going out for a meal as Jean is down from Kent. Well better go and do some work, hope the weather gets better! Julie

Catherino! Oi oi! More news please, feeling a distinct lack of it. Have to have some kind of wonderful thing to think about whilst I trudge along doing a billion essays a week. Though saying that, I do have free champagne cocktails this eve... Mwah! X x x x

Jill, Mark and Oliver Hi Katie Dropped you Mum and Dad off at the airport - was gutted - can't believe I was'nt getting on the plane!!! Very disappointing but hey - I took in the delights of Redhill for a night with some people I used to work with. Slept in on Sunday morning - heaven. Left Mark and Oli at home going for bike rides and playing. I expect your are waiting for your Mum and Dad and looking forward to your straighteners!!! Just make sure your Dad wears his had 'cos you know what he's like - bound to get sunstroke at some point. We are off to Euro Disney in 5 weeks. I am more excited then anyone - can't wait. Mark is on nights tonight and I have only just managed to get Oli to sleep - cheeky monkey that he is. At the moment he favourite thing is 'I can't 'cos I am too tired' also he keeps saying 'cor blimey' which I have no idea where it comes from but is very funny. I hope you have a fantastic time with your Mum and Dad. Lots of Love Jill, Mark and Oliver xxxxxx
