David and Jerry Keyte M8 me and jezza are in San Fransisco eagerly awaiting more blog entries from your website. It has come to my attention that the last entry was on the 11th march, which i find both totally unnaceptable and altogether fairly worrying. Are you still around or have the aborigines (or however its spelt) got you ?? Hope ure having a good time m8, will be good to hear from you and keep working on that tan !! The chicks love it !!
