Hi chappies not been on for a while cos as you know I have been in Norway. Pheeeeeew was it c, c, c, c, c, old!!! main reason why I could not send a message until now is because I actualy got frostbite and have had to have some of my fingers amputated, so this message is being typed with my nose (...I had to practice for a few hours before I could build up enough speed to enter direct on message board, so this also added to the delay). However, one good thing has come out of this... I can now type faster than before (just looks a bit odd with all that bobbing up and down). Ohh, forgot to mention that on my return trip I had a little incident.... Having landed at Heathrow late Tuesday night (landed at 9.50pm, 20 mins late, which made the drive back to bristol seem even looooooooonnnnnnnggggger). I was waiting at the baggage reclaim on arrival and it seemed to take ages... but 'bingo' out came my wheelie bag, ..... but wait for it..... minus its wheels!!! Still the most important part of the bag is the inbuilt compass in the handle and pheeew this was was still intact so I able to exit the terminal without further incident. Still that is enough for to tonight as mum said all this typing has made me look like Rudolph the red nosed reindeer (mmm... had some of this in Norway, very tasty). P.S. Skype and MSN all up and running so let us know when you will all be be online. OK Sharon I'm coming to bed now, have you got my medication? Night All, Ollie & John
