Hello u 2, hope  u were able to see the mumsies off at the airport & it wasn't 2 tearful! I notice The Southerner has told you about the Leeds Bradford score -ace eh? Sorry Kim's dad hasn't posted for a while - he is still in therapy and coming to terms with that "I'm always gutted" feeling he suffers from when Rhinos give the Bulls a right royal seeing to! Take care of each other. Love Dad & GP XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXP.S. was mum with you on the NEIGHBOURS evening?

may 8th another week and i guess mums are on their way home in the air as i type.the weather has broken into a showery breezy  phase but we have had to plant up the garden so its done before we sail [3 weeks today! ] its Hannahs birthday on Thursday and she plans to cook as her celebration so we await her surprise menu.No new messages from you today so we guess you have been too busy haqving a ball together. we look forward to seeing your mum and getting a full report of your experiences so far . as always take good care of yourself  love n hugs GPA + GPA XXXXXX

Megan, I have to apologise to your mum, re: the post card from Australia . . . as my dear wife pointed out to me, she wrote wombats and not wombals . . .

So Fay, please accept my apologies, it was an easy mistake to make, your hand writing is bloody naff.

Megan, Leeds beat Bradford  in the dying seconds of the match. I will set the scene, Leeds were 2 points behind, Kevin had a penalty kick to draw the match, but Leeds were not happy with just a draw, they had a cunning plan up their sleeve . . . he kicks, as a Leeds fan you could see that the ball wasn't going over, the ball comes off of the upright . .  bounces, Leeds chasers react the quicker and score a try and then the hooter sounds . . . the crowd goes wild (apart from the Bradford fans that is).

Oh yes . . . how's the holiday

 Anyway, tell your mum thanks for the card, just one thing, incorrect spelling of "wombals" it's "wombles", yes they might "stink", but so would you if you had to pick up aussie litter all day that people throw away.

Hello Uncle Terry!

Hi both of you.  Had great trouble working out how to get on blog hence delay.  That's to explain to Mick Massey.  Should have said it slower for him as he is a prop forward.  Glad things are great and the Mums have had their bottle filled both with Aussie wine and offsprings tears.  If you get anywhere near Koolawong NSW tell me and I'll arrange a free meal (and hot shower and swimming pool) at a freinds house.  Glad all going well and this blog idea is great - if you know how to work it.

Hi the gang of four.

Its good to know you are living it up in 5 star luxury I bet you cant wait to get back to work. Has Frances done any alligator wrestling yet? It sounds like you had fun at the airport when I dropped you off but you can laugh about it now. Your cameras must be full of photos its a pity you cant share them with us. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Lots of love.

Wow!!! Go girls!! Reading your exploits really puts a smile on our faces! And turns the colour..... green!

It sounds great ... who looks after who though.. We want to know all the details so write it down .. the plonk might make you forget a few things. Especially the lingo - just keep saying 'no worries' works for everything.

Enjoy Sydney See you soon take care Love Liz

G'day Sheilas!!!! Thought it was high time I checked in again. Hope you are having the time of your lives in ozzyland. Very jealous of your wildlife exploits, and no, I'm not talking about meeting the mums!! Only joking! So Megan, how is the old cream cake addict?? Bet she won't want to leave you and come home without you.Tell her there's plenty of donuts on the plane! She's gonna kill me!Better go before I land myself in any deeper. Have fun, and give my love to the Marlborough Road Dragon xxxx
