Happy chrimbo and have a fantastic new year. I'm off to Rodrigo's annual Christmas drink for unemployed camera technicians, so there will probably be quite alot of us. Lets hope the new year brings a lottery win because this helicopter flying is doing nothing for my bank balance although I have persuaded the head of production at working title to mow an H in her garden so that I can find it and pick her up for a flight! The deal is she has to give me some work to pay for it. Take care big man and leave those sheep alone.

relieved to know that you weren't in the earthquake zone!!hope you had a good christmas, marcus married a beautiful rwandan girl called alicia on dec.15th in stockholm - gave us a weeks notice so it was all very exciting. have a great, healthy and happy new year, you're missing the sleet snow and gales here. take care,n & f.

Here's to the fantastic ending of 2004 and a marvelous begining of 2005.................... enjoy xxx

Christmas Eve---Lewis have a good one!!! Hope your travels continue to be great. My best to you, Loren

Hi Gorgeous
Sounds like it's all panning out pretty well with you.
We just got back from Thailand.What a beutifull place.Can't remember if it's on your list.
I went for drinks at Del and Lou's new pad and it was weird you not being there.I've been imagining you all mega chilled out some where exotic or exciting.
I hope you have a really different christmas and a safe and happy new year.
What stories you'll have when you return to blighty.That is if you ever do....!!!
Big Hug to you

Well no worries Lewis about the curry sauce.....the Glasgow posse sorted it out for me....and it arrived fully intact with my parents on Wed! Superb...obviously no chips but rice really will not be a problem here......yawn... Can you please post a pic of these midget penguins you were referring to? I had a traumatic incident with a penguin when i was about 3 at Edinburgh zoo...it might help me get over the fear....midget or not!!!!!!!!! Nothing like a midget penguin to help ease tensions amongst travelling companions! Who would have thought?! Whatever next????!

Can't believe you are all still being so reasonable with Mr Bookanana. He is flaunting his playboy, single, cop-out,
no-blood-sucking-wallet-draining-family, run-away-from-it-all-before-its-too-late lifestyle. So even if he is gorgeous (or at least thinks he is) he must be getting wrinkles or at least a grey hair some where. More man love, dem Bucknalls.xxxxxx

Hey Lewis, really enjoying the site. Fantastic photies mate.
Bet you are looking forward to Aussie.
Merry Christmas, Cheers Barns

HOOORRRAAAYYY! We have lift off! So, whats d scoop with you L? Your photos are fantastic- quite amazing....if you can make Manila look that good then you will receive a medal! Aren't you Mr popular and its excellent getting a wee 'swatch' at everybody elses gossip...i might meet a new friend! hahahahahahaha!!! Are you craving for any particular food yet or is everything on the menu where you are/have been, ok? Sorry...i'm sure it is but i was so jealous when you kept going on about brunches etc.....jeeeezzz i haven't had a decent cooked breakfast a la true Doig style for ages. The food here is CRAP...and i am sick of smelling food that reminds me of a freshly opened can of cat food- whiskas to be precise.yuk! Any chance of you picking up a portion of curry sauce and chips and bringing with in Feb??? Are you still planning to visit? Just shoot me a mail. Better go as at work. Takecare of yourself and dont get up to any mischief. And finally...IF YOU THINK YOU ARE COMING TO VISIT ME TO NOT DRINK BEER AND DO YOGA....THEN YOU BETTER THINK AGAIN! Ok yoga...let you off but it simply will not work if you dont have one night of beering...u've be advised!!! xxxxxxxx

Testing because it did not work the last time! Why me???????? Nothing ever works for me now...i suppose thats life in Metro Manila.........aaaaaaaagggghhhh

Looking at your site has brightened up my day today!

Keep having a wonderful time.

love Lara
