Hi Cha/Lee - Just viewed recent photographs, they're terrific. U can see what a brilliant visit the "Smiley's" had, everyone looks so radiant. You seemed to fit lots of enjoyable excursions in. Your new pad looks pretty good too, (unbelievable to be able to secure something as appealing as that on a long term let), in what appears to be predominantly holiday-let location - well done u. I will e.mail u later with all the latest riveting news/gossip ha!ha!. All absolutely hunky dory here - I'm keeping busy. Much love to you both, take good care. Mum, Mal (Gran too) xxx

Cheers guys. Didnt do much for my birthday, Donna bought me a watch in Sydney airport so and money off mum and dad and went to cinema last night with shaun and stacey. You dont do much when you get past 21 anyway do you? Hope you job and new abode is all ok. Speak soon, Paul :-)

Hi Cha/Lee. I just wanted to say "H E L L O",( it's midnight here as Mal has just reminded me, time for my bed) but never the less I wanted to say "Hello" before retiring for the nite. Miss u lots, luv u lots mum. It's hard on us old folks back home u choosing to be so far away. x x x

Hi son and Charlie that was great news that you've landed a job you want to do so we hope it turns out well for you both, things seem to be going ok for you two. It was bad news about your back so mum says keep doing those excercises and she should know. Spoke to Sharon yesterday and told her that you are both doing good and enjoying the whole experience. If you have the time one weekend you might want to visit Hessie in Brisbane but thats your call. Its a nice sunny day here, well having said that the sun is out but its not giving us any heat it must be all at your end. Anyway back to work take care lol mum and dad xxxxxxxxxxxxx
