Hi Mate,

Just a quick one to remind you....

"he who dares son, he who dares..."

Be good Jambo and don't do anything i wouldn't do.

Hello J, yes it really is me (gaz) on the computer for the very first time sending you this msg to the other side of the World,well to Mal Pais anyway!which looks absolutely fantastic. I'm really pleased you've settled in and that the Surf is good. Just think, it's you being on the other side of the world that has made me get onto this computer. Picture the scene--- me in the office on saturday 10th November @ 11 o'clock keyboard in front of me,dictionary to my left,coffee to my right and Mossop on my back trying to get me to play with her! it's taking all my concentration just to find the right letters on the keyboard without having a kitten trying to get me to play with her. I've had my interview @ Beagle along with 9 other hopefulls, 2 sheetmetal workers in the group have been told they have jobs there if they want them, the rest of us will be told in two or three weeks time, which is to be expected as none of us will be starting untill January 08 anyway. The interview went quit well but as this was only my 3rd job interview in my life i would have felt a bit more relaxed if i had more practice, anyway we will just have to wait and see. If i'm not successfull i will go back to contracting. This house is not the same without you in it I miss you Mate. I have been very lazy this week having two cars to choose from means i haven't been cycling which is probably just as well as it has been very windy, cold and damp, but as the price of fuel has shot up in the last week it's probably going to be a luxury i will have to give up. Well Mate i think i will have to sign off for now as this first ever attempt has taken me three and half hours to complete and i expect other people will want to get on the computer.Love you! and looking fwd to reading your next blog.

Hello James,

Have just read your blog again - looking forward to the update and photos!! just dropping a few lines in my 'lunch hour' at work. Not a lot happening at home really - went to Fat Club weigh in last night and had lost 2 1/2 lbs (only after I realised my boots were heavier than the shoes I wore last week so I made my own calculations!! )

Tree is going to give Gary some instruction so he can send you a message at the weekend. Gary still hasn't heard from Beagle, which is a pain, but lets hope he does soon.

Hope you've caught up with some surf and your next accommodation is better than you've had so far.

Love you loads and miss you.

Hey,

finally had enough time to get on the computer and check your blog! It sounds amazing. Glad it's going well so far.

Take care xxx
