Hope you had a nice night with the girls.
My foot is back to normal now, it just went down after a few days.
I didn't see any of the games live but I was gutted when I read the details. Man City BOUGHT a premiership title..
That sounds nice! When you going and for how long? Google images shows it to be very nice!
Skype again is a good idea. How about 9pm for you tomorrow? (6am for me).
If not the weekend is fine.
I feel sorry for Tom and his french, that is horrible! I'm sure he did better than he thought though.
I am uploading lots of photos to Dropbox so you can see them all there - I look so funny hahaha. Love Edd xx

Hi edd.
seems the days as a Grommie are passing very quickly with not alot going on.
How many more hours of instructing do you need before you can teach properly?
Sounds as though you are driviing around a bit which must be fun after not driving for several months.
Ugg boots,I would like some of those for $7-ill have to get you to buy me some before you leave.
I met Bryan for lunch today,He was on good form.I still cant believe it ,but it turns out hes been drinking 4 cans of Coke zero or Pepsi max a day!!!! Do you remember seeing him drink it ?? He says they are busy ,and could do with you in the office,although you have got areplacement -Matt!
I also saw John Eskins today.He was in for a check up with Emma. we had a nice chat,seems danny is going to bali for a month in june with mates from uni- shame you cant join him?? John said hes looking forward to going surfing with you again , so you can teach him some new things!
How about skyping at the weekend?
Im hoping to look at your photos tomorrow- loving the boy band look. Tom said you look gay! I dont know any gays with muscles like yours!!
David won the 1500 metres easily today at the north wilts championships, so he will go to the regional finals in salisbury.
Toms got french and computing GCSEs tomorrow.Lots of love , hope to speak soon Mum xx
Ps keep blogging-even if it doesnt seem interesting

Hi Edd
Just back from a curry night with Spanish girls.
Re swollen foot-you need to elevate it as much as possible and take antiimflammatories-ie nurofen-so if you have any left,take a few over the next few days-thats what I was recommended to do with my swollen face.
Yes,last games of premiership were gutting-the last few minutes of the Man city match were unbelieveable- lots of shouting from Dave and Tom.
Ive finally booked our holiday in portugal-we are staying in a villa near Burgau on the western algarve- you could look on google maps.
Do you think we could try skype again? we are here at the weekend,so perhaps we can try again? Toms GCSEs started today(french listening didnt go well-they talked about an "e reader"- dad tells me its like a kindle- but tom didnt know what it was they were talking about.).
Hope you have a photo of you with your hair straighened?
Lots of love mumxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi mum.
Yep I am right back to normal now - just a shame there is no flipping surf!! Weather is amazing though.
I managed to get 2 more hours signed off yes. Hopefully do a few more in the next few days too.
Thanks for sorting my accomadation.
Oh nice, Portugal would be lovely! I'm glad I won't be missing surfing there though!
Thats cool. Both Tom and Dan are England/Bath now arnt they I guess!
Im glad David is back into his running, that's really good.
Yeah I am trying to stay away from all the wildlife which is out to get you!

Hi Edd
Lovely to read your new blog today,seems you are back to your old self ,and enjoying the surf.
Did you manage to get some instructing hours signed off,at the last lesson you joined in on?
Applied for your accommodation,only problem I had was your brothers playing Hunger games on line ,using the band width!
Dad and i trying to book a holiday in July-looks like Portugal, but Algarve ,not west coast-couldnt go there without you and your surf board .
Boys went to rugby dinner,Dan Keat and Tom Baldwin did a talk- ill get boys to tell you about it.
Weather picked up today>Dad building new log store.I went to bath with Dave and Mary.Got Dave new running spikes-hes really enjoying Bath Uni running again.Mary came home with lots of bags too! She is dating all sorts , but no Mr Right yet!
Keep away from those sharks.
keep well -and watch out for those spiders-at least you didnt end up like I did when i was bitten on the eyebrow!
Miss you loads,big boy.Bye for now .Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Eddb
Hi mum. Yeah I'm back to my normal self thanks, apart from I have not got a swollen ankle thanks to being bitten by what seems to be a spider.
I have been surfing again and all is fine.
They told me I would have to but it just all of a sudden happened!
Oh great thankyou. Hopefully it isn't too bad - no one at school seemed to be too phased by it.
I did think maybe being ill put a negative spin on my thoughts process. I will go with the flow for a while then work it out.
Your right, and I would love to do some instructing so I will have to try and get some work - Bali could be good too.
I might well drop them an email soon just to stay in contact and see what's going on with them.
That blog was just bullet points to remind me what to write te next day as I didn't have time to do it...I have now put a full one. Edd xx

Hi Edd
So glad you are feeling better.
Job sounds as though its going ok.
You should be able to get back to surfing soon,as soon as you feel you have more energy.
Shame you have had to move rooms-did they not tell you?
I spoke to Swansea uni today about accommodation and will apply for you tomorrow- sounds a bit involved.
Having read your blog,when you were ill was not a good time to think about what you were going to do.See how you get on working, then make a decision.it would be good for you to get some experience working as a surf instructor before you come home,while it is all fresh in your mind-whether in Oz or bali??
Dont forget you can always visit mark and fenella if you need to.
Its still raining here-very depressing. Hope weather syill good with you.
What happened to todays blog-bullet points and short ???
Bye for now .lots of love Mumxxxxxxxxxx
Eddb
He has now yes.
He said he is going to try and fix it, then I will upload them. Not keen on sending it in the post if I can avoid it, incase it gets lost.
I have whatsapp'ed you about when we can Skype.
I am only working for food and accomadation, not payment, so unfortunately I won't be able to afford it. Edd x
Mandy Bunce
Hi edd
i think Dad has explained that you wont be able to watch films on the netbook.
I hope you can get the server to work so we can see your photos , but dad said if not you could download them to the netbook and copy them onto a thumb drive and send it home?
loking forward to speaking to you on Skype. if you have chance early in the morning it will be late at night here or you could try early morning for us?
Am sure your more enjoyable surfing will be due to your back being easier.Mary is going to see Andy ,so i 'll get her to ask his advice. When you are working hopefully you will be able to afford more massages/physio.
Finally had sunshine this evening.mary and i went for a walk to the weir-didnt see any big fish!
looking forward to seeing and speaking to you soon.
Lots of love Mum xxxxxxxxxxx
Eddb
Yes I do hve to pay unfortunately otherwise I would have one all the time!
I guess maybe it would be, I hadn't put 2 and 2 together.
Everything in the parcel was fantastic thankyou.
It's working ok thankyou yep, it wont play movies at the moment though so trying to sort that.
Yes true, even though we do get rain it down last for long - another beautiful day today.
I know, what a 2 months. I will probably never get such an extended time to chill an learn to surf again in my life!

Hi Edd
Glad you have finally had a back massage- you were certainly looking "S" shaped! Do you have to pay? if not try to have one as often as you can.
Could your improvement in technique the following day be due to the fact that you could move around easier on your board??? Try to get some exercise you can do to stop your back seizing up and your shoulders curving in.
Well, Man utd v Man city match not as I expected.... thought city would win but with more goals.. my money is on them to win the premiership.
Hope you liked all things in your parcel? sent a few things i thought may be useful,and sent the photo for you to put on your wall!
Hope netbook still working ok,dad spent hours on it? im so looking forward to seeing your photos.
More rain due tomorrow 1st may- looks like it may be a washout month again- at least in Oz when weather is bad you know in a few days it will be sunny again- no such luck here!
Enjoy your last week, learn all you can,...what a fab 2 months you have had- you will remember it for the rest of your life ,and you worked so hard to get there both at school and working to earn the money.
Lots of love mum xxxxxxxxxxxx
