Jimmy B Good pics from NZ and they seem to feature Part 2 - The return of the beard!! But then in LA things get kinda wierd with some kind of Abraham Lincoln homage going on? I need an expanation on that one!!

Sarah Oh poodle you're burning!! ps. Hi ants!

Pete I knew there was a reason I had not visited your blog for a while - jealousy. It been too long, I must get back to Oz. Just so you feel better, when I first visited it was the wettest period in Australian history, 29 out of 31 days constant rain. The only place it didn't rain was Ayres Rock (I was so elated I got engaged at the top - just goes to show - it is good to employ restraint on occasions, especially when you have sun stroke!). Subsequent trips have been far more drier and less impetuous. What's with all those people with stupid names in Freo, when I was there they all seemed quite normal! Anyway, back here we have now had 3 days of constant sun, even if the temperature is sub-zero. Rumour has it we are in for a barbeque summer on 25th May. Katy - the office buscuit tin has had limited use since you departed, but Polly looks set to pick up where you left off. It must be a stress related thing. Most of Assael have now managed to detox, as there is no one to lead them astray and Richard F has stopped hanging around outside the Guinea. Funny how so many photos in Oz seem to have a glass of wine in them! Ant - you must have found Valley of the Giants really scary. Glad to see you have caught up with a shower, next step - off with the facial fungus!. Glad to see you are ensuring that you squeeze in as many of the boy things as possible, but I was concerned to see your paternal skills coming out with little India. Both - keep on having a great time. Keep bloging and taking photos and more jumping please. Edwards Family xx
