Just read your half blog (eating break). So pleased you're thrilled with your Borneo experience. Really looking forward to hearing the rest of it. Ian loved his Kilimanjaro experience, but did say he would not relish doing it again.

Have just had a few days in Jersey. Really enjoyed it. Nice place - had never been before. Bit of a cross between Cornwall, Wales and France. Alexia came with us. Not her idea of a holiday, but we had some nice meals and her and Ian went go-karting, at which she is a complete nutcase. The weather wasn't the best, but we had a car, so were still able to get about.

Hurry up and finish eating so we can have the rest of the Borneo blog!

Lots of love from all of us xxx

Hi Lynne

Good to hear you have arrived safely in Singapore and visited the famous'Raffles' for your Singapore Gin Sling ...you lucky girl. The fresh food markets sound wonderful and so cheap a great way to experience all the local food ..certainly not the 'pig entrail soup' that sounds horrendous. Sounds as though 'Terence' has been really helpful perhaps fate played a hand when you couldn't find accomodation at first.

The weather here is cold wet & windy so enjoy the heat (despite no sun) Lots of snow in the borders and Scotland were back to Winter again. Certainly no heat affected legs here more like chilblains with the cold!!

Going out for lunch shortly Chris coming for a meal tonight Lisa is in Marrakesh with a girlfriend this week, he is going to Majorca shortly(cycling evryday for a week!!)

Won't be long now before you should achieve one of your longed for amitions to see the Orangutangs in their natural habitat...love every minute but no squeezing and teasing!!! only joking

Take care and look after yourself

lots of lovexxx

Hi Lynne, it's Sunday morning here 10:15 and I thought I would just see how things were going. Glad to hear you've arrived in Singapore and eventually found a Hotel, Terence sounds nice and friendly. The market sounds really interesting together with the food - I wouldn't touch that soup either!!

And now the long awaited Borneo, I do hope it's everything you hoped - ENJOY!!!

When you get back we must go to 'Grill On The Alley' I owe you one remember! Steve and I went to 'Rosso's Restaurant' last night but we didn't enjoy the meal, we won't be going there again.

Keep safe, love you loads xxxxx

Hi there Mummy in Law...Sorry I didn`t see you on Skype on Weds but I was in bed as was on an early on Thursday. Paul updated me on what was occuring and told me all about your "situation" in Singapore with the guy being in your face. Well at long last it is nearly Borneo time - bet you cant wait! Then home...it has gone quick! On that note - I am off work 14-16th April and I think you get back 14th so I will be around - so will pick you up from Heathrow. We are then seeing James in concert on the 16th. This weekend we are going to Carla's on Sat to see Jackson and then going to the Farmers Market on Sunday. Anyway, take lots of care and be careful in the jungle - love you loads and cannot wait to see you on the 14th xxx

Hi Lynne, it is Friday evening approx 6:30 pm. I've just arrived home from work, thank God it's the weekend. My Appraisal went well so I should be thankful that something positive came out of this week!!

I'm sorry you didn't get to see the Barrier Reef, you're not having much luck with the weather. You should have tried the Scuba Diving trip. What a small world, you just don't imagine you would see someone from Horwich out there.

Glad to hear you loved Cairns after feeling unsure at the beginning. Enjoy the luxury while you can Lynne it may be a while before you experience it again.

I hope Bianca the nutter made a good job of your hair!! Read the book Lynne and let me know whether it's as good as she says it is.

Hope you have a good journey to Singapore and keep safe.

Love you loads xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi A Lynne,

Well the mug painting was fab and im v impressed with the result. Thinking of opening my own craft shop. I would send you a picci but i'm afraid it wouldn't capture its glory. Hope ur OK. Don't smuggle an orangutan for Carla she has Jackson now.

Take care

Hello!

Just got back from Skyping you at Debra's. It was amazing seeing you and talking to you. Almost as if you were in the room with us! You won't probably see this now till you arrive in Singapore. So hope you had a great trip over and can't wait to hear how you enjoy Borneo.
Take care and keep in touch.

Loads of love

Hiya Sorry you had a bad trip you were so looking forward to it. Hope you enjoy Singapore and have no more traumas. Can't wait to hear how you get on with the Orangutans as this I think was the one you were most looking forward to.
Lots of love Jean
