Hey,
Thanks for the e-mail. All sounds fab. Just checked out the piccies and the dog you have your picce with - is it the Milky Bay dog? One of my friends on Facebook is a Thai girl I met last year when I was there on Koh Phangan and her profile piccie is with this dog at Milky Bay. Her name is: Darunee - but people know her as 'Erng - I have mailed her and told her you are staying there and to say hi if she sees you - she is lovely - she was one of the organisers in the Schools I went to last year - oh wow what a small world and what a famous dog!!
Anyway - know its early but happy birthday for sunday - have a fab Thai time!! Don't OD on those bucket drinks!!!

It was great to see your pictures. You both look liked you're enjoying yourselves. Its top seeing you both having a good time as you both deserve it. It's nice to see a bit of sunshine…even if it is on a bloody photo. Apart from your photos the closets thing we're getting to a foreign experience is brushing up against someone who might have Mexican swine flu. Rachel is going to send you an email when she gets sometime away from working. You pair stay safe and Ian, here's a bit of good news. The Stone Roses album is 20 years old. It's on adverts for some weird reason. I suppose loads of young lads'll get into it. You never know mate; when you come back your hairstyle might actually be back in fashion.

Look after each other and enjoy Australia

Still look like you having a wonderful time. We both had a great time in Boston and are just readjusting to life in our 40s - how did it ever happen?? Any plans for Gem's birthday a week on Sunday - we will all be thinking about her and wish her all the best. Great to speak to you on my birthday - I was really touched that you remembered whilst galavanting around the globe. Glad you are both well and looking tanned and healthy. Blog soon!! xx
