Hey Guys,

Oh Mike, the Eagles lost again! Against North Melbourne. It was closer this time, only a goal in it and we were level with not long to go. Oh, it was heart breaking. Same thing happened to the Dockers, except they were 18 or so points up and WB ended up winning at Subiaco. So, the bet with you and Jez- Eagles and Dockers are 14th and 15th on the ladder, seperated by percentage only! I think Rosa was reported for a silly spoil that knocked some bloke in the head, hopefully will be thrown out.

How is Brugges? Very pretty little spot? And how are those Belgians? Still speaking several languages at once? Show-offs! How are the waist lines looking? The culinary tour of the world hasn't even hit its peak yet! You've still got the stodge and beer in Germany and the carbo-loading Italian menus. Mind you, walking up the Eiffel Tower might help counteract some of that. Hire bikes in Amsterdam and you can cycle some of it off as well, other than that- too bad. Its winter when you get back here anyway!

Ok, Miss you, Roxy says hi again. She's a little tired today, I took her for quite a walk yesterday and Thursday. She's such a good walker through!

Love lauren

Hi Mike & Beki - Phantom is LLLLOOOOVVVVIIIINNNNGGG sleeping on the bed; it is so comfortable. Love the photos of London and Bath and the weather looks amazing - such clear blue sky. Your photos and comments of these places bring back great memories for us. Keep enjoying and I really look forward to your blogs. Still no success for the Eagles, even though they only lost by 1 goal, they are getting closer to a win. The good thing is that the media is concentrating on the Dockers and leaving the Eagles alone. Love Mum

Thank you for the blog, made my Friday very nice! Now photos when you can manage I hope you guys enjoy Paris, it was my favourite place in Europe, make sure you see the Eiffel Tower at night so you can see it lit up with fairy lights, so beautiful! Isn't Bath so lovely too, I loved it there. Did you see the canal boats around? Imagine Haz, Mum, Dad and I on one of those for a week, was actually really nice.

Stay safe and keep blogging! love Elise :)

Hi guys

Glad to hear you got to Paris ok well sort of (Hope you feeling better Beki) Thank you so much for coming to see us it was great having you here!!! The house was so quite when i got home from work, Thanks for all the funny jokes and Beki I hope you can taste you french crape` ok!! I think as Dave as your tour guide must of been hard for him cause he was a sleep at 10 when i got home, so who knows how you two must be feeling, If your over this way again your more then welcome to stay, The path to the door is not so much as a challange now with out you to there!! take care and stay safe

Kerr broke his leg in the Legends Game! I think I might be named in the squad this week.

Hi Mike & Beki - Niagara Falls sounds fantastic; I am definitely coming around to the idea of going to the US at some time. We had a great day yesterday for Mothers Day and the girls have taken pictures of Jakey and Snuffy to put on facebook. Jakey has grown so much but is still so cute. Mike, you don't always have to be right, but I suppose that it is good to take advantage of the few times that you are right. We are keeping Phantom out of your room, although she did sleep in there one night and Alana has the photo as proof. Anyway, we all miss you heaps, but keep having fun. Love Mum

Hello!

I loved reading your blog about Niagara Falls! Sounds amazing! I bet you guys looked hot in your matching ponchos... were you also wearing your matching NYPD sweaters? Hmm, Roxy is shaking her head.

We had a thunder storm last night. That wasn't fun. Poor Rox was a bit frightened, she didn't sleep a wink really. She's still a bit shaken I think, being my shadow. Actually, I don't think she could be making any more contact with me. She's laying up over my knees with her head against my tummy, poor lamb! Hopefully the thunder is gone now though.

Anyway, hopefully you're either enjoying your last day in New York, or have arrived safely in London. Say hi to Dave and Janelle when you get there! And send the Queen my regards!

Love you Lots, we're off to have a nice morning tea. Roxy is having neck chop and I will have a biscuit. Hope you're both well and haven't caught any bugs from the plane and/or hostels!

Love Lauren and Roxy

Hello Bek and Mike...we are following your adventures gastronomic with much interest...even our student boarder is up with the news. It sounds like an adventure filled holiday every day and we are all very envious. We are in the process of planing our Broome- Darwin-Broome holiday with your mum and dad at the moment. but it seems so boring by comparison. We may be looking for some house sitters for 2 weeks in Broome in October, any recommendations. Keep the blog going it is tremendous to follow along.

Hi guys!

Seriously buy a I heart NY shirt! I totally felt the same way and didn't get one then got back here and totally wanted one! So explains why you are getting me one :) THANK YOU!

Can I just say you guys and Harry are all as useless as one another, how can you get lost on the Subway?! I think I found my calling while overseas, great talent for navigating train systems, even did it in Czech Republic where there were no English signs. I actually had to take over one night in NY when I was drunk and Harry was tipsy as he was about to put us on a train to who knows where! Don't mention it to him though, it is still a sore point.... :)

Keep the blogs and photos coming, I love them! Not to mention I can now look at them from my computer at school so one of my year 12 girls love looking at them with me. Jakey says hi, he is getting much bigger! Will post some photos when I figure the stupid system out! Sorry shouldn't blame the system for the users stupidity!

Keep having fun! love Elise :)

PS Love the caption on the photo outside Tiffany's, totally cracked it!

Hi Guys, Just did a mamouth catch up on your news from San Diego to New York - your blog and images are great - makes me want to turn the clock back to when I was there. At work so better go - Bek Have news - from oz Talk NZ!! Take care travel safe Love Cath

Hi Guys!

Guess who I am living with???? Roxanne! She's such great company, she didn't complain at all last night when I made her listen to my research proposal which goes for 20 minutes. I think she was a little bit suspicious when I first came in, but within about 15minutes she was laying on her back with the arms and legs in the air looking all cute. She misses you though, and your parents, so hopefully I will do for a couple of weeks.

Love the Tiffany's Bek! Thats cool, something you can wear to remind of the trip when you're home, sitting in your office, reading boring e-mails and getting up seven times a day to get a cup of tea. I'm so glad you found Hot 4 Nuts! I think I put my favourite vendor's kids through private school with the amount of nuts I bought there. I loved looking at your photos, Central Park looks completely different without the snow!

Goodo, can;'t wait to hear your Niagara stories and see the photos! I'll show Roxy as well! She has some new babies too, they speak or laugh as well. I heard them in the middle of the night last night and almost leapt out of my skin, thought it was some psycho little child in the house!

Keep Well, LAuren
