Your gran took a long time to write that letter, she was finding it difficult to hold a pen. She will be glad it put a smile on your face. She will also be glad that snail mail still has a place in the world. Keep smiling your are nearly over the hump of camp.

Drinking and gambling hmmmmmmmm! Now that's something different for a Jimmy weekend.
Oh and yeah. Big bad Barry had a swipe at Collingwodd player - missed - but has still been stood down indefinitely (by the Swans) so he can deal with some "personal issues" Good on Raffa too! sorry i missed the match going on the scores and what i saw on the TV news looked like a good one.

How strange about the boats on the beach, wow shopping with girls and being excited about it, what will your mates back here think about that????
Daddy
Sports update.
Eels and Swans - neither were in it this weekend. Eels had a bad one against Panthers at home down 22-16 the final score looks better than the game was. Swans were even worse At the end of third quarter they had scored only 19 points and went on to lose 79-50. Put in a good last quarter but too little too late. Wallabies had a good win again against an under strength France. Talking themselves up for a good Tri Nations. Ausies won last one dayer. Did you know that the Sydney Kings are Gooone?? No one picked up the frachise.
Sorry i couldn,t catch you on the phone in AC. email a day and time that is good for you and I'll ring on the pay phone.
Have a good week Stay SAfe
Mummi
(That hotel is close to the casinos and the beach. Google satellite maps are sooo cool) i hope you spent time at the beach and not at the casino, unless of course you won. we didnt win this week in lotto only $10 left. I will wait until after the holidays to try again to win our fortune. Hope you enjoyed Atlantic City.
Hope you have a positive week at "camp"
Hayley

Mate,
Busy days!!!! and nights!!! Did you know it was going to be so full on before you signed up? Good to get such a detailed description of life in the other world and the pics help put it all in perspective. If you get sick of the heat you can think of us back here - cool nights anything from 5 to 9 then lovely, calm,sunny, still days 20 -21.
Sports update - Eels 2 point winners agains Storm reserve grade Wallabies good win against an under strength France. Aussies won 2nd 1 dayer. Swans had a week off. Not much to report from BNSW, Richard has made the 18 national roster. (that site would have to be the worst on the web)
Stay good stay safe
Mummi
a bit of a contrast between your office at uni and the pool. even though it is hot i know which one i would prefer. keep loading the pics. the opening concert on youtube has no sound can you put your video up. what do your bunk 8 kids do all day while you ae at the pool.
Mummi
you sure are working hard for the small pittance you are being paid. Remember always look for the positives in everything you do. Sometimes you have to look really hard though. Some good research there for Jenny on effects of nutrition and physical activity on 11 year old boys. ha
Did I tell you someone rang asking you to do a days teaching last Monday morning. They laughed when I told them where you were.
