Simoner, well guess what...yes, it's still raining (what's that saying...40 days and 40 nights - that's it!) it was pandemonion here last Monday as it rained that bloody hard and my feet were constantly wet - even with boots on!!!! I left work a bit later to avoid the mayhem on the roads, which thankfully had subsided when I came home!

Enjoyed your latest blog and was pleased to see the update - you watch those bloody mushrooms though - I nearly had a seizure when I read that bit! Stay away from the dodgy stuff - and that includes the women!!!!! I'm really envious of you dancing on the beach - something I'd rather be doing then being here!!!! I hope the party on the 29th was good and I'm guessing you're still recovering from that - update please when you get chance!!!!

I showed mum and keith your photos and blog the other day - your grandma was really chuffed although she couldn't see properly - even with her bi-focals on!!!!!! She was wittering a bit yesterday afternoon and so I had to resort to telling her to 'shut up!' in the end before she drove grandad and I demented - although I think grandad turned his hearing aid off anyway!!!!! Oh, and by the way, he always asked about you and if I've heard from you.

other family updates: Ellie's just come back from a week in Spain! Joni is supposed to be getting an estate car - gave him a lift to work the other day as he was going to look (and buy if ok) a Ford. He was DJing at the Yeoman last night - i think. He's slowly progressing with the 'hut' - Ally's been helping him.

The trance tunes I'd downloaded (free!!!) are good - one in particular so I'll check out some more when I get chance.

Right, must go now but will back to give you another update soon

TAKE CARE AND AVOID MMs, LBs and any other dodgy stuff/folk/things

LOVE YOU

FROM MOTHERXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

On another note Amy going to work in Post team permanently so here I am with Katy and Natalie doing cb instructions crap eh but there again Amy will also have working in that transferred from Pre ---- Ian at least he wont get hassled from busienss ifs re urgents

So Simon see the world and dont come back to work here its getting worse, however Dan is back today looking like a buddist monk with shaven head but only til he decides to go back to uni

The sun wont be rising in the west of Otley cos as your dearest darling mother said its bloody awful floods etc in fact there is probably a Tsuami coming fromt he River in Otley up to Albion St but you wont care will you.

Keep an eye on money babe for the big trip to OZ cos it will be worth it even if you have to do temp bar work there to pay for yur fun trips hanging out on the Sydney Bridge.

Well take care keep in touch and away from any strange looking ladies!!!!!!!!!!!! debs lol xxxxx

Hope to hear from you soon

Easy guys I have found a few different flight s for you to to come over to Sri Lanka its jus how much you can afford and how much you are willing to spend. I totally understand if you cant come I am asking alot...

I have found on Expedia flights from Sydney to Colombo Sri lanka for 678 quid each. I know Its alot but I will keep looking for you let me know if you are intrested in coming. I will look for some where for you to stay. I looked for just a few nights then a week and two weeks and its all the same price its just how much money you want to spend or how long you want to stay for.

Talk to you soon. Dave

Simone, when are you going to update your blog and pictures - I've enjoyed reading/seeing your updates so don't let it slip!!!!

I've managed to find Armand Van Bergin (or whatever he's called!) on my ipod tunes but so far haven't located the couple of tracks I really like from the 'State of Trance' Anyway, I've downloaded some other stuff so at least I've got somewhere with it at last...the other five tunes I'd got from you I now know off by heart!!!!!

Hope all's cool out there (not the weather, mind you as here it's bloody awful!) We're all praying for more sunshine as it seems to be diminishing fast!

I spoke to Joni last night and he now has your website info - he said he tried ringing you the other night but couldn't get through (I don't know whether he's aware there's a 7hr difference)

Best crack on and get some work done but will send another update soon

Lots of love dearest mother!!!!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

PS All the family keep asking how you are and Lindsey asked me about you yesterday.

Now then boys thanks for the call the other day was great to talk to you all. Just checking out your latest photos the elephant ride looks awesome! Leth what does your Tatoo mean?

Hope you are all well and not to skint yet I know you had spent loads already, Am going to look for some flights from oz to sri lanka for you today.

Takecare will be in touch again soon. Dave

At last I've managed to contact you Sy! Just rung Will and he gave me the details...I've been going demented trying to get in touch!!! Joni said you'd text him (last week) and you mentioned whether I knew your website, which of course I didn't!!!! I'd tried texting both you and Leather soon after you'd gone but couldn't get through.

Anyway missing you loads (I was crying all day Sunday after you'd gone!) and hope you're okay and looking after yourself...no dodgy food etcetera etcetera!!! Hope Leather and Jim are okay too and you're all getting on just fine!!!! I'm off to look at your pictures now but wanted to get a message sent so you know I haven't forgotten about you.

Will be back in touch shortly but for now remember:

be good...be careful...and most of all be happy. Your darling MOTHER!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
