The Australian aborigines invented a brilliant concept with the boomerang. Imagine if all weapons returned the missile to hit the person that fired it. That would have stopped a lot of wars. Of course, if it was lethal there would be no Australians left by now and we would have no one to comisserate with when they were kicked out of the world cup. What is all this stuff about pressies? J & K are on a tight budget. The question should be where do we send our Christmas presents to them and what would be useful? Not £££s of course as most of the daylights have been blown out of our economy. Oz is a great place. It sounds as if a few things have changed since we were there - but not a lot. Still too hot and not enough rain. Keep the blogs coming. We love the pics. (well they are better now that you have got away from the chickens' feet). Love L&J

Hej på er!
Så glada vi är att ni befinner er i Australien och Cairns nu, som det har utvecklat sig i Bangkok med oroligheter o flygplatser som stängs. Ni hade verkligen tur som åkte förra veckan.
Här hemma har vi +5 o snön har regnat bort, hade varit fint med lite snö till advent ialla fall, men det får bli en "grön" julskyltning som det ser ut.
Ni får ha det så bra o upptäcka världen i barriärreven, lär bli en verklig upplevelse/ KRAM KRAM

Hej! va snygga och bruna ni är då här hemma blir man bara blekare och blekare. Snön har kommit och det är just nu -5, men det är rätt härligt det också!

Ta hand om er! Kramis

hi everyone, just finished our stay in bali. the time has just flown by, but there should be an awesome album comming up!!

the executions in bali were to do with the terrorists from 2002. i think they served their time on death row!! couldn't get much sense from the locals about it.......they seemed pretty pleased about it anyway.

we'll keep away from those chicken feet from now on, just incase!!! be very careful tho penny!!! must have infected that guy who wanted my nose!!

phoned the bank that very day to shout at them, and is all sorted now......till next month probably!?!?!?

there is a package on its way home, that should keep you girls quiet for about a week.

am keeping up to date with the rugby, well done sidmouth, must try harder jonno!!!

take care everyone, keep on blogging!!

Have you noticed how many people view your photo's???? thats some fan club!!!!!

Just read Penny's message. EXECUTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you see them or were they away from where you are? That sounds quite shocking.

Hey Jas, guess what, your very reliable bank have been on the phone asking if you are abroad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the free phone number 0044 1226 347 012 can you give the i***ts a call and confirm, again, where you are and how long you are away etc.

That aside, I am glad to hear the next roud of beaches are wonderfull. Sidmouth beat Brixham away and are now in the top half of the league!!!! They have the bottom club this weekend so could go higher. Exeter beat Nottingham so are now only 4 points behind Leeds.

If you read this today don't forget England play Australia today, the Boks next week and NZ the following week. Its all on sky so see if you can find a tv on the beach!!

Everyone is well (if not cold and wet) here and we all miss you. Skype soon,

Love from us all.

have finally had the time to check out the site and the piccs of your travels prior to arriving in mae sot; have fond memories of the weekend, and it seems that the 'chicken feet' have caused a bit of a stir. you may be interested to know that we have an outbreak of bird flu in the neighbouring province but i see it has not make the world new yet - therefore another reason to take chicken off the dinner menu!! hope the trip to bangkok with the levellers and simon went ok - he is back in the office today (i.e. been away since he gave you the lift down) so will catch up with the news from him! hope you are both ok and did not get caught up in any melee re the executions in bali last sunday night!! take care. x

Hejsan på er!
Det verkar härligt med värme bad o sol på er "minisemester" på Bali. Här hemma är det ganska varmt +-0 och för det mest grått o regnigt så nån snö har vi inte och för min del kan den vänta några veckor till.
Vi var till Sofie o Andreas på förlovningsmiddag i måndags kväll,det var deras ett-årsdag också, det var väldigt trevligt, dom kan ju laga god mat också jag ska inte så ingående beskriva tårtan men den var en upplevelse både till smak o utseende, Andreas hade garnera den jättefint.
Annars är väl det mesta sig likt här hemma, du kan väl höra av Dig när ni kan Skype:a, blir det innan ni flyger till Australien ?Hoppas jag, det var ju ett tag sen.Ta hand om er, saknar er o KRAM
