Hiya Lynds,
Hope the New Year has started well for you in Oz! Apologies for not being in touch sooner - I was desperately searching offtravelling.com last week - getting slightly panic-y when I couldn't find you! How is everything? What have you been doing? What was your first summer-xmas like? How is Georgia (the child, not the state) and are you ever coming back? Stuff here is fine - we've got an Australian Film Festival at work in March - so keep your eye out for any good films that are out and let me know!!! I'm still playing softball - we played in a tournament last weekend and lost every game (ahem) but it's still pretty fun and I'm getting a black and pink glove next month! Paul and Amber are getting on well with the new house and the psycho cat. They seem to be pretty much set on Florida for the wedding in 2007 (April/May) - so Disney world here we come! Anyways - I will sign off now because I think that maybe I should email news rather than posting - but just wanted to say "hi" anyway! Oh btw you should check this site out: www.nutsaboutfilm.co.uk and pass it on - it's pretty funny if you have speakers and you can win a video ipod!
Anyways - hope you're havin a ball, will email 2mor from work.
Love Sooz. xxx

Happy Australia Day. Did you enjoy the fireworks? Or did you just drink the day away for a change? Sorry I missed the phone call. Will contact you soon. love Mum.

I'm watching a Pavement dvd and I'm working! I rule.

Happy new year! Just read about the worm and made me feel really sick as have eaten far too much lunch and was feeling slightly queasy.Sounds like you are having a fab time just found that I can access this page from work so have spent ages looking at all your photos on my break. Your niece looks gorgeous and sympathise with her re the museum trip! Mark's wedding plans are going well and lucy has chosen bridesmaid dresses will fill you in on the next e mail coming soon! lots of love natalie x

Happy New Year! I've been reading you website and I can't believe the number of bugs and things which seem to have taken a liking to you! I thought your picture of the worm looked a bit like the thing I had on my hand in Thailand! Still got a nice scar from that! Hope you are having a great time and will see you in Hong Kong!!! xxx

Hello Shrimpette. Happy New Year!! I thought I would finally get round to posting you a message. I am so excited about coming to meet you in Hong Kong. Only 4 months to go... Having looked at the website, I think Disneyland might be quite a bizarre experience. Am glad the Frank situation is under control (only you would have named a tropical worm!!). Got to pop off now as Beaches is on and need to prepare myself for the ending!! Will write proper email soon. Miss you lots, Margo xxx

Hi Lynds,

Are you aware that your current location says Margaret River, Singapore? I happen to know that you're not in either so please sort it out. Also, now that we've left I was expecting some more regular updates. Surely Mark, Juli and Georgia aren't so exciting that you can't find time to tell us what's going on. You haven't even bothered to update everyone on Frank. Talking of Frank, are there any signs of him or has he gone for good.

Love Janine

Hi Lynds,

Just a quickie to wish you lots of love and happiness for 2006. I got back from Portugal last week, it was really nice catching up with all my family out there and spending time with my pops. Back to work this week...what a drag. Nothing interesting to report, except that have bought loads of new clothes from Portugal, and am excited picking out what I am gonna wear each morning. A girls gotta get her kicks somehow!! Oh and I'm down the pub tonight with a mate and her new beau and his mate, who I am told is good looking AND has a fit body (not that I'm shallow or anything....).
Much love to ya, missing you as per usual.

Booley - that joke is very poor but seeing as this website hasn't been updated for what seems like a lifetime I admire your efforts all the same. How about this - What did one snowman say to another snowman? ................................................................................................................................................................................................
'Can you smell carrot?'. Good eh and I maintained that festive wintery cutting edge. I'm available for Barmitzpahs and weddings in case anyones interested.

What did the policeman say to the snowman when he caught him stealing?
FREEZE!

Lynds,
What an impressive website - I always said you were extremely talented! it looks fab - and I'm very envious of your exciting travels - so pleased for you you are able to take this tiem and do such extensive travels! Also glad you are enjoying the new babies in your family. When do you think you might get to Bris. Lou is coming in Feb I think. Love to you. Tracy
