Grace and Patrick send a big hug and kiss, and well, so do I.

Hi Guys

I am so envious it looks fantastic, Toni we are out on 20th so I will keep you updated with new staff - no one to rival you yet mate!! Hope you continue to have a fab time, you both look really well, miss you lots, xxx

Hello there - loving the journal and the photos! Just thought I would cheer you up and let you know it is bucketing it down here!

alright big bro, sorry for being lame, hope you got my email, just wanted to start the old jibs about your up and coming birthday... is it 35 or 40?? (gettíng a bit old myself now so have trouble with the old memory!!)
Sounds like you are having a wicked time and i am SOOOOO jealous i appear to have turned green, that or too much veg and the tinted glasses i am wearing!! Take care of yourselves, miss my big bro heaps, have noone to look up to who is shorter than me now.... ;-) H xxxxx

Now you are making me really jealous!! It looks so beautiful and so hot. Is Krys getting envious of your near death experiences Tonia as he seems to be going in for extreme sports lately. Tinker and Baldrick send their love. They both miss you too. xxx

Just been reading your journal,I found it all very exciting but frightening at all the escapades you are getting up too. My sympathies go out to Toni because I know what it feels like to have butterflies in your tummy.Mum keeps me up to date with all your news .Bye for now and look forward toi your next episode Love Grandma xxxx.

Thankyou for the wonderful photos of Koi Phi Phi. Apart from making me feel really envious they cheered me up no end as it has been really horrible here today,wall to wall nonstop RAIN ! still the gardens need it !! and we are in the middle of the drought season!! so shouldn't grumble!!! Do be careful though Im sure jumping off a cliff is great fun, not sure the first aid kits cover all injuries though. Continue having the time of your lives.All my love mum m.xx

photo's look amazing... and journal makes a good read... laughed so much a little bit of wee came out!

Hi me dears. Not sure if you are getting my messages!!!! Sounds and looks like you are having a fab time. I must say Miss Newman you are looking svelte and developing a nice tan...thought you were supposed to be getting fat with all that food...maybe just wishful thinking on my behalf cos I'm ready for bursting. I am literally the beach ball with arms and legs that Al thought i would be! Anyway missing you loads and loads auntie T. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Krys in nam? krys with an injury from his time in nam??? grrr.... where do I sign up?

Have found the ideal Cristmas pressie for you both.I know that it is still very eary in the year but one has to plan ahead.I dont want to spoil the surprise but I thought you could enjoy the anticipation of such a brilliant gift.Also it does have a deeper meaning in that it could act as a means of recovery following your traumatic experienses with the monkies.While browsing through the Lonely Planet in the Pucket region of South East Asia I happened across an appeal for a very deserving cause "adopt a Gibbon" for just 1500B a snip at half the price I thought . This pays for one monkey's care for a year and keeps you updated on its progress throughout the year.It rehabilitates the monky so that it can be released back into the wild !!So what do you think ? Is this a definate YES or perhaps you need some time to mull over the responsibilities involved I wait in anticipation of your reply .Keep it clean though! Have lots of fun and happiness.All my love to you both Mum M xxxx

Toni - if I've got to keep up with your long journal entries can you add some more monkey nibbling or river sweeping incidents - even an obitury would liven things up a bit.

Krys, keep safe though don't take risks and put yourself first, except in front of a bus, then Toni can go first.
