Kathryn Got your email the other day. Are you gonna update your journal? Pleased to hear the jobs going well - miss executive!! We're all working hard here in the office, still having Polly and biscuits at 3pm (had it early today and Val said - Fliss never let us have it early!!). Peter and Katie are doing really well, they got a bit chilly the other day when we had the air conditioning in front of them but they have recovered well. Took your nephew swimming last week - he loved it!! He splashed my glasses so much that I couldn't see anything tho. Look forward to your journal update - with pickie's please!!!!

Dad Pleased to hear about your job at a recruitment agency in Sydney. I hope they dont have all the legislation to content with that we do. If so I'm sure you will be able to put them right. Kathryn and I went to Wimbledon yesterday, excellent seats on Centre Court for Ladies Semi finals. Are you seeing any Wimbledon over there? Are you playing any tennis yourselve? We are having our annual BBQ on Sunday with nearly 30 people coming to the house, hope the weather's ok. Will call you at the weekend.

Dad Hopefully you are now back in Sydney with Ivana. I believe you said that Ivana's family come from Croatia. Today Croatia play Australia in the World Cup, which one are they supporting? England are still limping along and are now into the next round but Michael Owen has gone home with a serious knee injury. We have to improve to get much further but I'm quite optimistic. I know Ivana is interested in horse racing so tell her I'm off to Royal Ascot tomorrow. An Aussie horse won one of the races on tuesday! Will ring you at the weekend Love Dad

Kathryn Sounds like you're having a fab time. The journal entries sound very exciting and very descriptive - almost like we are there with you! Anyway, your nephew is now fully onto solids (3 meals a day - pig!) and his first tooth is just breaking through. I should be able to email you some pics soon as we have bought a digital camera (I knew we would have to get one eventually)!!

Alison Hi Fliss, another wettish bank holiday weekend here. Had a BBQ with Pamela & Chris yesterday and shivered in the garden! We've been watching 3 baby bluetits who can't yet fly, in the driveway this morning, being fed by mummy bluetit. Not as exciting as crocs, koalas & kangaroos tho! I've printed off each journal and a montage of photos each time so they'll be here for you when you return. Have fun! :-)

Clare McGann Hello BRIAN! I must explain I am writing this in the pitch black on a german keyboard so apologies for rubbishy spelling... Your lovely and highly amusing updates are great and made me smile many times! Ther're slagging off students on the radio as I write this back here in blightly, which is amusing to myself as most of it is wholly true!!! Thought of you earlier for some reason but I cant remember why....ooo yeah I watched The Beckhams party thing on TV...it was a bit of a chavy programme but better than big brother... and Robbie Williams was on it and he was being really cool and funny.... NE WHO enough of this gay banter I may email you... MUCH LOVE YA GREAT NONG X

KATHRYN Sounds like you're having a fab time - does Ivana actually work or does she just drink and sight see with you all the time? Have you come across any Mightey Murray yet, or is it just English wine that gets passed off as being Australian?
