Hey guys, pleased you are still enjoying yourselves. Hard to imagine camping when it is so cold here. The big cities are more my thing too, lots more to see and do. Please you are feeling better DAvid, it guess it goes without saying that someone would have to get sick with being away for so long. At least it was not both of you. Make sure you leave all the germs in Aussie as we don't want them when you arrive here. Enjoy the Gold Coast, we really love it there and would move there anyday.

Lots of love xxxxx

Really hope David is feeling better now, it's a good job Jo looked after him so well and made the very good decision to stop in the hostel instead of the tent. As its Friday we have just been for our tea in the Sunny Hill and now we are going to watch Bradford v Saints. Hope its a better match than last nights (Leeds were not very good!!) Anyway take care

Lots of Love XXXX

Sum looks easy tonight!

OMG those PARROTS!!!!! I could not have coped.

So glad Dave is on the mend : )

I'm loving the sums. I can even do them in my head!

Much love XXXX

That was meant to say sorry you haven't been well David.

Sorry to hear you haven't been David, everything still looks lovely. it was nice speaking to you at the weekend looking forward to when you get to Graham's then we can have a proper talk. and we can assure you, there you really will be cold they are scraping ice off their car. Lots of love to you both and carry on enjoying yourselves xxxx

If there is any criticism of spelling the one criticising ought to be caelful! Michael says he has got Stephen summed up!

David you would have loved to be here last weekend, Stephen was here and it was a joy to behold. I bet you wish you had been here and not Australia!

Anyway, what has happened to your updates? Have you forgotten us? Mission Beach seems a long time ago!

Katie, it seems you have strange grammar these days? Is that youth of today?

Hello Janet!

Perhaps if we all talk to each other it may encourage David and Jo to do another blog??!

Enjoy yourselves, still waiting to hear about airlie!

Congrats on your exam results. Loved seeing you celebrating on Mission beach. Saw Geoff and Tina on Sunday.They had been doing the Tour de France down in Wimbledon.Rain stopped. Summer arrived today. More rain to follow.Looking forward to the next chapter. Love Grannie and Grandad.

i gotta say tho, in a geeky sad little sister way, im quite proud of my big brother doin all these different things, its definitely a once in a life time holiday thingy! i never wud hav imagined ud do this a few years ago.. that must be ur influence jo!!

anyway.. we just got back from our race for life! mum was proud of me.. yay! we done it in 28 mins we think.. mum wasnt sure - typical!! we didnt quite beat u but id say its a pretty good attempt! we're gunna keep it up aswell! ya never kno i may even make it to the marie curie one which is 10k (or maybe not!) erm... what now?!

hope ur still havin fun.. campin sounds coolio - i didnt realise u were doin that! very excitin! any way im gunna jet off now and do nothin wahay!!

love you lots! mwah

ps i just looked at the sum and its 4+5 .. are u people strange?! and another thing y do u have to do a sum? did u se that up? is that some kind of snob thing on ur side? like u hav to have some kind of intelligence to talk to u??? any way love u!

Just watched the Rhino's beat saints on their own ground I did think that the ref was abit bias in the Saints favour at first but the second half did see a little more equity in the game! Rob Burrows scored a try for Jo so all in all it was a good night for Leeds.

Only 2 more days until Katie and I complete our Race for Life marathon (Only 3 miles I know) but as your little sister isn't a natural runner I think you should be very proud of her and it is for charity after all.

Hope the next stage of your journey is just as good, take care

Lots of love xxxxxx
