Hi Lyndsey,

I think I got the wrong country for Jason. Oops! Trust me.

Christine

Hello Lyndsey,

Sorry we didn't get to see you before you went off on your travels, but can see you are having a wonderful time, keep on having a great time.
Give our love to Mark, Julie and of course a big kiss for baby Georgia.
I hear you saw Jason in Hong Kong how are they all?
Janine sent me some pictures of your nephew - he is just gorgeous, would love to receive a photo of Georgia. Can you believe our little Mark is a Daddy!
I haven't had time to study your websit completely yet, but will do as soon as I get a chance. You look like you are having a ball.
We wish you all a very merry Christmas and happy new year.

Lots of love

Christine

Pat and Laura send their love.

Lynds, Lynds, Lynds.......I will come and pick you up tonight. We can't have you catching a cab on your first night. Mark will stay home with Georgia. He is also going to go to bed early so we can wake him up when we get home. I hope you check this. If not we might miss each other but I will try to get there early!!! Can't wait to see you. Georgia was giving big big smiles at the mention of your name. She can't wait to throw up on your shirt. I think she is getting bored with just throwing up on my sister.

A bogan...... Is an Ozzie term. Generally it is guys with long hair and wear all black apart from flannet shirts. The jeans are usually really tight... They sound fantastic don't they!!!! You better start practising your Ozzie slang!!! Mind you a women that I was talking to in a shop asked me where in England I was from. SEE YOU TOMORROW LYNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We wan't to know what a bogun is too. Our thoughts are thinking weirdo. You can find out first hand tomorrow, Have another safe journey and see you all next week. We spent three hours reading all your postcards and looking at your pictures last night. Nan said she thinks you are very brave and she admires you so much. She has got all the postcards now and thanks you very much. She couldn't stop laughing about the lovely lady who offered you a bat for protection. We send all our love and kisses, Have a great reunion. N and M

Lynds,

Don't worry about the last message. Paul has explained.

Love J

Lynds,

Do you know what a bogan is? Is it some kind of wierd ozzie word that only Juli uses or am I just out of touch with the latest lingo?

Love Janine

Sorry about the one before. Still not awake. Who an I kidding I am never awake.Mark gets up at 5.30am to get ready fro work now. He starts at 6.30 and is home by 2.45pm Brilliant!!!! The bad part is Georgia wakes up the same time and she doesn't relise that we are allowed to sleep in on weekends. So I have been up since 5.30am. Need to put her in her own room and give you the monitor although your bedrooms are accross from each other. I read Matts emaila about Perth. I have to confess he was right about the Bog... except it is worse. It was one of the pubs we went to for my sisters hen's night. It used to be one of her hangouts and it was the only place open till 6. When we went there was a heavy metal band playing and a buch of long haired bogans dancing ....did I say dancing I meant jumping and playing air guitars. Very disturbing. We could take you to the Elephant and the wheel barrow. It is an English pub which have the same band playing as when I used to go there every Saturday night 10 years ago. I know you are now afraid to come to Perth...don't be. There hasn't been any shark attacks in the last month so at least we will be able to go to the beach. I love my city!!! Georgia can't wait for her cuddles. See you in FIVE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love us

hi chicky bean - thanks for your note (i found it at the airport) - it was very sweet. had a great time with you in langkawi (though slightly stressful initially) but well worth seeing your photo of your elephantitis foot and also your now recovered scabby legs. sorry for passing out on the sofa when you left also...you'll be pleased to know that poustie came back at 5pm and woke me from my coma. i then went back out for more drinking. back now though and i must try and curb my renewed vigour for smoking and tiger beer. off work for two weeks from saturday, so i shall be spending some quality time with the mates and their respective offspring and also trying to regain some of my running ability which has definitely disappeared during my week of carnage. have lots of fun my lovely...i will try and check in with you at some point over the next two weeks but without the work computer this will be v difficult. loving you lots as always xxxxx

It's bloody cold here in the UK. I'm walking round the flat armed with a granny blanket at all times.... Very fetching.
I've just come back from a Learn Direct intro to setting up your own business - my brain isn't the most business minded as you will well know but geez - I've been enroled on a course for thickies. Hmmmm. Painting is slow and my Star Wars one has come out a bit rubbish - first one of seven to be disappointing so not so bad. I'm gonna have the day off to record my latest radio show (haha - I'm in talks with Crystal Palace radio for a fortnightly show - I've been lying through my teeth about what I play and they seem very keen - God knows what they'll make of all the Italian pysch and Krautrock...) and start my business course for retards. Should be fun.
Anyway take care and enjoy Perth - best described as Australia's Croydon equivalent! Well it's warmer at least! There's a realy dodgy in-bred club there (in-bred club? Australia? surely not you say!) called the Bog or sumthink - go and drink till 6.00am listening to the Proclaimers and Violent Femms on repeat... Woohooo!
Take care stinky.

I ordered my Australian dolars today.It's made me very excited. See you amazingly soon.All my love for now. Mum. ll
