Hi Boys !!
Sounds like you are having a ball !!! So glad you are enjoying the Surfing.. you are both looking like true Aussies already !!!! Dad flew off to Indonesia yesterday for a week - took him almost 24 hours from leaving home to reaching their hotel in Jakarta and when he got there it is really hot, dirty and RAINING !!! He doesn't reccomend it for a holiday destination !!
Only me and Dan at home now !!! It feels very strange - we had KFC for dinner and I beat him at scrabble last night !!!Adam comes home at the weekend for Easter - so the peace and quiet will soon be over !!!!!
Love to you both mum xxxxx
