Hi mate
I just realised that i sent you an email when i intended to post a message on your message board. i won't repeat the message, please check your email and hopefully it went thru OK

love dad xo

Dear GREGG
Pa and typing are nearly complete strangers so a short message is all you get. Glad you are having a good time teaching non swimers how to swim it must give you a lot of satisfaction Im staying with Mum and Marco for a week feeding Mandy and generally getting in the way. Looking forward to seeing
you again soon Best Regards PA
P/S Stay Healthy!

Hey matey-Thanks for the update! I can't imagine swimming in 10' water. We have the opposite situation here where the water temperature is still about 20' but the air temperature is rarely above 15' these days! On the mail front -i) I have both group certificates. What would you like me to do with them?
ii) Bank statement shows tanuga money has been deposited.
On the home front, Pa comes down this week to spend some quality time with Marko and Mandy so I will get him to write a line or 2. Karen is heading down to Tassie for a week( as if it isn't cold enough here!!!) and I am doing my usual catching up with friends.
Take Care, darlin! Love Mum xxx

Hi Darlin,
Congratulations Lauren and Mark on your great results!
I hope the camp remains fun. You must be almost halfway by now!
Hope you are enjoying chatting to someone on the phone(Like $400 last month).......'cause it sure isn't to me!!!! Can you curb the spending on the phonecard just a smidgeon????? -you are wearing out the American Express Card!
Having a particularly chilly time here doing the same old, same old. ..Lots of fires, catching up with friends, work etc, but keeping well
I have received the Woonona-Bulli group certificate. Let me know what you want me to do. Looking forward to your next entry ( and a reduction in the credit card bill!) Lots of love as always, Greggo

Who is rating your journal?

The camp vans must have extra long beds! or are you getting used to sleeping curled up?? So good to hear you are having a fun time...It would be nice to see some photos,hint, hint. Speaking of photos, lovely Lauren chased down the photographer and sent down the graduatuion photos- they are just beautiful. She couldn't pick which photos were best so she got them all which is handy. I can give one to Lynda and to Pa. It is such a lovely memory. Still freezing cold- I notice the weather over your way has been beautiful. We have been having some very cosy fires.Mandy is growing her winter coat ( or maybe it's just fat in disguise!)and Mark is refusing to get his hair cut as he is protesting the loss of his beanie!!.....nothing much happening here. Lots of love Mumxxx

Woops, don't know why it did that.

How are you mate? Nice to see you are attending your website a little more regularly! Good to hear you are having a good time, hope you are well.Things are going OK here, Rex turns 50 on saturday and I'll probably spend some time with him.

work is sending me to canberra in September to do the company directors course over 7 days straight, day and night classes. It is at the Hyatt so the accommodation and food should be good! It is a very intense course which will lead to a Company Directors Diploma, not something I'd do if i had to pay for (Cost is $8k) but seeing work is kicking the tin then i'll go along for the ride.

dad hasn't been well, he went into have a cataract operation and his heart went out of rythem and his BP went to 220/120 and they were worried about him. He came out of it OK but is currently having some tests. Hopefully he'll be fine.

Doyley is now living in Dubai and invited me over to stay with him for a holiday. I look like going over in january for a week to ten days and I've organised to go via Singapore to catch up with Gordie. he moves to singapore today to coach the singapore slingers in the NBL.

Hope things are good, miss you lots and look forward to hearing from you

love dad
