Cecile Comandre Hi Guys! I couldn't figure out how to send you messages. Tried several times in the past and it never worked out successfully but it seems that today I am luckier... I just wanted to say hello and catch up with your adventures. You've really done a lot since YangShuo (China)!!! I am very happy that you are having such a blast! I just came back from 3 weeks in XinJiang. That was a great trip. Some pictures are to be seen on: www.chinatime1.canalblog.com Picture album: 2008 - XinJIang North - New !!! Take care guys and continue having fun! Love, Cecile C.

Dad Hi guys, Mum is yellow like Marg Simpson. Got non viral hepatitis form Flucoxicillin antibiotic taken for cold sore on return from Vietnam. Evidently it can happen 60 days after taking that particular antibotic. Its called colestatic hepatitis. s*** happens. The specialists ultrasounded mums liver, it was unremarkable. She will probably require nothing but time to get over it. Evidently GP's they don't prescribe much as it can have that effect. Mum had a scheduled visit with her oncologist and he prescribed it. Sounds like he might be out of the loop. Mum must never have that particular antiboitic again, I think we should get a medi-alert. Tara, if your listenong, chill out. Apart from that all is well. Tipped you last. Dad

Tony Richa hope mary Janette and terry arrived safley and let them know they are in our thoughts and prayers, and get mary to let me know how her flight went. Love: Tony Richa

Tara Yo yo G, love the nutella pic, that tub is ginormous!!! And mum - your message entry is out in the open for all, including me, to read! So stop paying out my lack of wedding arrangements!!! The venue and celebrant are booked and the rings are sorted and thats all that matters! I don't care if i end up sending out email-invites, turning up in my s***box corolla, walking down the isle in tracky dacks with flowers purchased from woolies! So anyway, you may be able to tell that i'm soooo over this wedding planning concept. Izmir and I leave for Europe on the 17th Aug, whoot whoot!
