Jez Judith, It was great hearing from you this morning, glad to hear you found that street on your last day in Bangkok, sounds like my kinda street, reminds me of our time in Fanniel Hall at the Cheers bar. good times. Your Christmas day sounds like it's gonna be wonderful, just remember i'll be there, right next to you, in spirit (but don't talk to me out loud 'cos everyone will think you're mad). Gerald, i'll email you, promise. Judith, Have a fantastic Christmas and i know you're gonna enjoy the rest of your vacation, don't worry if you can't keep up with the bolg, just enjoy the moment, you're going things only most of us dream about (well, except for sitting on an uncomfortable 2 hour bus ride with a monk coughing his guts up and a mother and child smelling of poo). "You're goin' it, you're really doin' it.". Happy Holiday to everyone else. Jez.

Gerald Hi Jez how are you? Hope you're well. Are you already for Christmas? Judy, I hope you don't mind me chatting to Jez on your message board, but if I hadn't have seen his messages, I'd think he was dead! Tee hee - only joking Jez - did you get my letter? Your last journal sounded really lovely Judy, downhill strolls, hot showers and pizza. Now that's a holiday! Love u lots. G.
