Hi you two

Sure looks as if you are having a great time. The pictures from Laos look amazing, the things you usually only see on a Richard Attenborough nature show. That picture of Tom sitting on the veranda with the misty mountains in the backbround, spooky!!

We are both fine. As soon as we got back from our holiday, I picked up a nasty cold, which I promptly gave to Moya, she was not too happy! It followed us around for about three weeks, just about gone now.

I am writing this having just watched Lewis Hamilton absolutely romp home in the British GP, typically British weather, rained most of the race, he really excells in the wet.

I am busy as work. Although there has certainly been a turn down of customers in the store, I'm as busy as ever. Colleagues who used B&Q as a job whilst they were at college or uni etc, have nearly all left and have not been replaced so it means that those who are left just have to work harder. I've never known a company supposedly so keen on promoting sustainability create so much bloody paper work!!

Into your last couple of months now, it has gone incredibly quickly from here, I am sure it has gone even quicker from where you are.

We all look forward to seeing you both at the end of August.

Till then stay safe.

Lots of love,

Dad and Moya

I havent written on here in ages, but i thought id just say that me and hanna are stiil reading all your updates and looking at all the piccies and really enjoying them! we're now on the count down for leaving, its all very exciting! we'll still be here when you get back though! take care

matt

hey guys

I'm confused as to where you are! Did you fly straight from singapore to Laos? The map is confusing me - are you going to Cambodia still? Laos looks so inspiring, Levi says he wants to go

I hope you're having a great time

Love nin xxxx

Oops, we changed the dates (Tom thought he said?!) we are definitely not still in Brisbane! x

Nice to see you're enjoying Singapore, but we're a bit confused. On the itinerary you left, you're not supposed to be leaving Brisbane until June 7th!

Hi Tom and Liz

My computer had been down for a couple of weeks so I have not been able to tell Tom about the demise of Reading Premier League jaunt, but it looks as if Josh did a pretty good job of it anyway.

They think Coppell will honour the final year of his contract, which is good news. He had made mistakes this year but he is still the best man for the job.

Im sure you know, but great news, Jenny passed her driving test, 7 minors I'm told. She is driving herself to work now. Blimey!

We are going on holiday on 29th May for 2 weeks to if you want to get in touch call before then.

Missing you both, lots of love

Dad and Moya x x

Helllooooo!!!

I just thought id write an update before i went to work! Portsmouth is currently the crazieszt place to be ever at the moment, they won the F.A cup yesterday. Since then all iv heard from my bedroom window (im revising) is chavs shouting "who are ya" and police sirens!!! and its still going on now (its 11am) They have a victory parade today which i should be able to see from work as its opposite the stadium!

Apart from that things have been relativly boring, all of my coursework was in last week and the next 2 weeks are packed with exams.. fun!

I cant really think of any other news, lovign the pictures and miss you lots

Hola LizTom,

Haven't posted for a long time but today sadly Reading were relegated...but atleast they gave it a good shout by putting 4 past Derby. I think the goalscorers were Harper, Kitson, Lita and Doyle. I was watching Gillette Soccer Saturday intently, hoping that Fulham wouldn't get a goal against a near full strength Pompey, however it was inevitable that Portsmouth would have one eye on their FA Cup Final, and Murphy got the winner. Birmingham also went down despite also putting 4 past Blackburn (4 - 1) but Reading finished above them by one point. United won the premiership after beating Wigan 2 - 0, Giggs equalling Charltons appearance record and grabbing a goal. Chelsea could only draw against Bolton, but winnning would not have made a difference anyway (would have lost on goal difference). Revenge in the CL final is on the cards maybe? Arsenal finished with a 1-0 win over Sunderland meaning that it finished with United (87), Chelsea (85), Arsenal (83), Liverpool, Everton.

Next year for Reading its important they don't 'do a Charlton' and dissapear almost completely, and atleast reach the Play-Offs. I expect Hunt, Shorey and maybe one or two others will leave, but I think you will have enough to bounce back.

Flamini is leaving Arsenal for Milan ands its a possibility that Hleb may join him in Milan...but at rivals Inter. Ronaldo won the golden boot with 31 goals. Hull, Bristol City, Crystal Palace and Watford are in the play-offs, advantage to Hull and BC as both won away from home. And thats the (all important) football news over!

That was mainly aimed at Tom, and so Liz, as Kate said 'your looking after josh.... guttedddddd (although he has genuinly got less annoying!)'. Appreciated Kate, my 'genuinly less annoying sister!' I like the van name, used to be my favourite movie! 'Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, its bobsled time! COOL RUNNINGS!'

Anyway, thats all for now. Have fun in Aussieland and South-east Asia! love from Josh...

ps. Levi's website is up - levipinfold.com

it's working fine but when we were away it went all funny some of it was missing - so I hope you can view it.
