HOLA! I'm so breaking my immersion in the spanish language in preparation for my oral exam in 3 hours (altho I am listening to a lovely polemic debate in Spanish about the olympics as I write) to say THANKYOU FOR THE POSTCARD! It was so exciting, I did a little dance round the corridor all on my own. Noone else has read it yet as H's at work and I'm not talking to Brad as he doesn't speak Spanish! lol. So there's been no discussion on the controversial comments on how I'm so the best at this communication business (to be fair Brad was never gonna be the best, after all "doing a Brad" is named after the Forder himself).
It's been the best weather here these past few days - just had to coincide with revision didn't it?!? Sang in a Spanish concert on Friday which was lovely, apart from that just been revising basically. As I've said first exam today at 4, then pretty much non-stop till somewhere between the 6th and the 12th, depending on when I get my last essay done. All in all though, feeling fine about it all. (think the sun is helping a lot). Going home after my exam today cos got job interview for summer job tomorrow so will probs stay there till Thursday night to revise for my Italian exam on Friday - will be nice to have to change of scenery.
Right, that's enough of the old ingles now, tengo que continuar mi dia en espanol....ah scary exam!!!!
os quiero muchismo, Katy xxxxxx

Hey sistas! and james!!
It's the sibling orphan here. Hope you are having fun. Did you feel the earthquake from China? It said it was felt as Bangkok - you two love feeling earthquakes! I had a good weekend, was Hel's birthday on Saturday and we went to the non-league FA Cup final at Wembley - it's an amazing stadium - although dad wouldn't be impressed - half full and still took the guys over 20 mins to get a beer at half time meaning they missed part of the game. Our team (Ebbsfleet!) won though and Hel had bought us all old fashioned clackers so we made lots of noise!
Went walking on Sunday with Anna and Charlie - did 3 and a half hours, 17k in 27 degrees heat - it was really tough. Had factor 50 on so no burning this time at least. We were awful in the pub quiz last night - finished 5th!! Our worst yet!
Weather is gorgeous over here - except I am in a meeting room at a client where you can not see the outside world...I love my job!
Miss you all, have fun x x x x x

Hi
You sound like you're having a really great time. We have been on a 'mini' adventure ourselves, Tenerife for a week, not quite the same but we enjoyed it. Lovely sunny weather, lots of lizards and Jakey loved swimming, all good.
One quick question, how big are your bags and can you still carry them, tailored clothes, DVDs, other goodies......must be getting heavy now by now!!
Enjoy Thailand and go to Laos, you won't be disappointed!!
Take care and have fun
Si, Lu and Jakey xxxx

Aidy and his new assistant Pa Mole have summed yesterday up accurately.
James, when you are back home to this green and pleasant land do ya fancy Carlisle on a Tuesday night?
I'll drive.
Take Care, Have Fun and Mind How You Go!
Aidy Boothroyd
Good morning dedicated Watford fan,
I'm just doing the rounds, apologising to each and every Watford fan for yet another home defeat and another poor performance.
Nicky Barmby and Dean Windass..................seriously?!

MATE, I JUST INSTALLED MIDTOWN MADNESS TO THE COMPUTER!! can you remember how long we used to spend on that thing?! listening to "oh yoko!" and singing along?! goooooooood times.
Pa Mole
Hornets stung by their own defensive errors........
Back from Vicarage Road. Disapointing result, but, and I havent been able to say this for a while, Watford were the better team over the whole game. Summary of the match, we didn't know what to do when the ball went into Hull's box & two defensive errors.
There, now Rois & Claire have got the update they will have been waiting for!!
Take care as always, all three of you!
Ma Mole
Hi All Thought I'd share something with you, the full force of which James will be able to explain to you if it's not immediately obvious. yesterday, when Brian and I were in London, Brian paid £5.30 for a glass of wine each for us in Leicester Square (great venue-on a 2nd floor terrace looking out over the Square) and THEN £10 !!!!! for a glass of champagne for me in the Champagne Bar, St Pancras Station. He didn't moan once!!! He's gone to see Watford today, so he'll be well grumpy about the week-end by this evening! Never mind; it was great while it lasted! Beautiful weather here but you have your own to enjoy and so much more too. Enjoy your adventures and keep in touch. Much love Mum/Bernie xxxxx

Hi Roisin and James
Me and mum making use of the hotel internet (free ) facilities before we go to the airport.Mum on the other computer writing her version of "War and Peace",so I decided to have a go on the other one. Didnt realise that keyboards were different from uk,so struggling with some dots etc
Back to the UK tonight for a stressful football weekend. Utd need to win on sunday to win premiership. fingers,legs toes,arms and eyes crossed!
Hope you are feeling better James.With your recent experience in Dehli I could have been doing with you on the Lisbon subway the other day. I was pick pocketed by a lovely gentleman smelling like a brewery, didnt feel a thing until the "team" of 4 jumped off the train after one stop and a guy said to me "I think they were pick pockets" how right he was ! Good job I didnt notice I may have had a go and ended up worse off. Not to worry I had left most of my credit cards at the hotel,so they only got one and some cash.
Rois I bet you are excited about Claire coming tomorrow ! Lucky James 2 Mc Grory girls to escort for the next month,you wont have to say a word for a week !
Mum seems to have run out of things to say in her her 25th chapter.
