Hi Guys,

I've kept meaning to check in on you to make sure you were avoiding the fires but instead you're running into floods. Scary stuff!

Can you believe that my little car has been in another accident! When it was snowing the other week a young lad skidded on the street & drove into it, dinting the driver door. I've had it fixed, claimed on his insurance. At least it wasn't Chris's fault this time!

I went karting for the first time yesterday. I was rubbish. I finished dead last. I was terrified, never agian. It was a hen do, Chris was away on the stag do & they had a sweepstake on who would win. Chris had me so I don't think he'll be too pleased.

Hope you had a good Valentines xxx

Yeah the floods were interesting we are back to normality at the moment in Cairns, we will see how long it lasts for though!

As for the car, all youve had with that is bad luck and im surprised it wasnt Chris, but hey theres a first for everything.

I cant really imagine you karting for some reason, all i can imagine is you screaming!!!!

We didnt really do anything on Valentines just bought ourselves a laptop, another one to add to the list but its small and ideal for travelling, did u 2 do much?

Anything else to report?

xx

Hi you two, I got a shock hearing your voice. A nice shock though, I never expected you to phone. Sorry George was at work, well sorry he wasn't there to talk to you!!! At the moment he is at home watching the tv. Where did that big spider come from on the photo? Please make sure you don't bring any of those home with you. Carina's car is fine, still ticking over nicely. As to your adventure with the floods, I would rather it you than me. Don't like lots of water like that or the fires. Well, I only like lots of water when it's in my bath and has lots of bubbles in it. George still has not been out on a Wednesday night. he sits in the house with me and has a few cans. I would like you to bring some sun back with you please, so it is a good job you won't be coming straight back from oz,!!!!!Cos you don't seem to have had much there.Keep on having a good time and don't drink too much. No, that's a bit of a contradiction. Lots of love.xxxx

Hi, you managed to make that comedy without trying by the fact you were clearly happy George was at work!!! The spider was on fraser Island in a toilet cubical! but are pretty much everywhere. The floods were an interesting time but def one for the extreme sports junkies!!!!! Speaking of Wednesday nights how is George getting on with the garage full of beer? Glad the car is ok and let George know we will def make Wednesdays up when I get back as have a month off work!!!!!!!! X

Hi, Daringdo and Tinkerbell. David Long, you should have 'HAZARD WARNING, MAVERICK APPROACHING' stamped all the way through you!!!!! You just had to be the first over the 'bridge' didn't you????? Thank God you are both safe and okay. I definitely do not like Australia, what rubbish these adverts are!!! I do hope the nz weather has good things in store for you. Please take care and please don't push the limits. I know you want adventure but this is ridiculous. !!!!Lotsaluv and hugs as usual. xxx

Yes well not much to say to that really other than I quite like that name!

It was wonderful to talk to you yesterday & a great surprise. As I said it left me tongue-tied. I knew things weren't that good from Mum but nothing could have prepared me for todays blog!! How scared you must all have been & how brave. I'm still shaking from reading it all. Decided whether to forget the dream of your 21st on the Great Barrier Reef & escape to NZ yet? I just cannot believe the bad luck you're having with weather but so relieved you're not "down south" Forecast says 30degrees & heavy rain all week for Cairns. It might reach 4degrees here, if we're lucky!! Never mind. In years to come you'll still be dining out on all of these exploits!! I think of you every day with love. XXX & BIG hugs XXX

Yeah you did seem a bit lost for words ut that ws the plan! Dont know if you have spoken to mum but we have decided to stay in Australia as we would lose too much o the campervan and the weather at the moment is ok, fingers crossed. Lots of love from both of us xxx

haha not fair and not funny hunny bunny

Its less than that now,and remember I will be having my birthday before you this year!!! HAHAHAHA XXXX

just to let everyone know they are ok but stranded in bad weather which is why your not getting any messages.

You always seen tohave a busy shift at work mate! And whats this paraphrasing thing?? But yeah champagne surf was pretty good. Inotice Peroni has made the grade aswell!!!!

next to a drug lord, crazy champagne surf (ok may be paraphrasing) and the only bit i don't believe is you two being quite!!!! happy belated tidings cuz

Hi Daringdo and tinkerbell, well, what can I say? Tornados, Sandstorms, Lightening storms, cyclones, You did say you were in Australia didn't you/ Well of course you did, where else would there be crocodiles walking down the street and through people's garden and where else would residents be sitting on their balcony fishing for the barracuda as they go swimming by in the garden?? You are certainly seeing life whilst we are seeing the cold white stuff and black ice!!!! Have you heard a kookburra yet and do you know the difference between a kangaroo and a wallaby? You'll be a pair of know-it-alls when you get back. Oh and I keep forgetting to say, I am so glad you changed 'refuelled' It nagged at me every time I saw it. Have you invested in a portable boat by any chance after your recent experiences? I know that was not on the packing list!!!!Lotsaluv and hugs as usual.xxx

The Kookaburras I hear everyday and end up awake whether I like it or not, they sound like the joker with a crazy laugh!! I wouldnt be suprised if we get snow added to the list aswell before long. love to all x x
