Mum Hi Laura Are you still alive and well?!! Dad texted you yesterday but no response. Got back last night from Italy. Had a good time but very hot, especially for tramping round Pompeii and up Vesuvius! Dad's gone back to KL to work for a week, then we go camping in France (Med coast near Carcassonne) for a week from the 17th-24th. After that only one more week till term starts again. Where does the time go? Am planning to finish the bits of painting in your room this week and hopefully get dad to put up the curtain pole next weekend before we go away. Then it will be ready for your return! Spoke to Nic this morning. She said she's planning to visit you in Port Douglas in a couple of weeks. Does that mean you are staying there until you come home, or are you planning to go to some other places first? Did you look for the boat that Bill Foster mentioned? Done any diving? Try to get something up on your blog soon so we all know you're OK! love Mum x

Mum Hi Laura! Are we due another blog and more photos?! Have booked your ticket to the ball so no need to be a Cinderella! Music Festival last weekend. It went really well and Showaddywaddy were fab! Bill from croyde is here overnight and we're going to the beer fest in Bishops Wood. Bill says where are you working? (He knows Port Douglas well and agrees with you it's a great place.) He says to go and say hi! to the people at Undersea Explorer (a big white boat that does week-long dive trips) You never know, you may get a cheap deal if you mention Mr Foster. The guys who ran it used to be John and Andy. Hope to hear more of your adventures soon. love Mum x

Dad Hi Laura, enjoyed the photos, the dog didn't look as if it was enjoying the bowl of lettuce! Litchfield looked good as did the cold beers. Glad you've sorted some work. Posted the info from Warwick today to Dougies and dealt with bank on Saturday. Off to the Maldives tonight! Dad xx
