Hey Rach, hope you got my tx a few weeks ago, thanks for the birthday card - I did miss you, but I was really garetful for the card - gave me a hige smile.Hope you are ok, you sound like you are having a wicked time. Nothing really going on here, big brother is good, nicky got evicted, and Jayne who came in to it late. They are now having some housemates go in to a prison! Love islabd is also on - and unfortunately I also watch that religiously so I still have no life!!! I am still getting slagged off by you know who - so thats exciting for me, same old same old! Got a pool for the garden, so have been sunbathing in it, and Mark is setting up his own business doind window fitting and kitchen fitting - gardens etc..... So you never know I maybe richer when you come back. Missing you loads, I will send another message soon
Love the Jodester x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

Hi sweet cheeks glad everything is going ok pics are quality!! lost a bit of weight fatty, if thats the case I will have to go travelling for a few years!! haha
You will have to introduce me to these drinking games so I can play them at my footy club. Hopefully you introduced them all to the "beer from a wok" game?! if not why not?!
Just came back from Dublin and it was a quality laugh but a bit expensive and its not true the guiness still tastes like s*** over their!!
keep enjoying yourself and keep everyone in touch x

Lane, u little legend,
Well done for updating your journal - i now feel justified in leaving u a message to say how lucky u are to be outthere in OZ rather than back here in UK - despite the heat (no AC in my office) everything here is same old British summer, Tim Henman lost in Wimbledon, we didnt win the world cup, beer consumption increases ten fold - u know the usual stuff!
I went to Prague which was great, if you get the chance to, u should go there (when u are back obviously!) 50p for a pint, beautiful architecture and good company made it a lovely few days, but now all the more painful to be bk in the office!
going to Bristol in early september for my Big Bro's stag do- dont think L&M would fancy a visit with 10-12 boozed up boys so mite save the cuppa for my next trip out that way - (trust all other Lane's who are reading this are well!).
Keep enjoying yourself and take lots of pics!

Hey Lane (plus fi and other happy travellers)
The pics look beautiful, both the scenery ones and those with u in (loving the short shorts!)!! glad that u all appear to be having such a wonderful time, i am muchosly green with envy as i watch the rain fall from the office window in 'Arrow! Saw the other (now former) backpackers at the weekend when i went to cambridge, Vicki managed to kick a local (potentially high on some sort of substance(s)) who promptly started pushing everyone within a metre of him until the police arrived who arrested him!! KING FU SQUIZO she was - "its what we do in Wales" she said!!! anyways im off to Prague on sat- woop woop, only 4 days but better than being here!
Love to you all, and keep the pics coming!!
Alan. xxxxx.

Hi ya hun, glad your having fun, dont really no what to put want it to be different to the usual, but have to keep it clean as i see you gran reads them, hi lanes gran. x ok a quick joke, little jonny lives at home with his parents and really wants a tv in his room, he keeps on at his parents but they keep saying no, however he does not give up and keeps on and on untill.... his parents give in and buy little jonny a brand new tv. His dads says to little jonny that he is not to abuse it and watch it all the time however little jonny ignores this and watches tv all weekend his parents dont see little jonny for 2 days. Untill on sunday evening he finally comes out. He then goes up to his dad and says What is Love, Deuce? his dad holds his head in his hands and mutters to jonnys mum, "its time for the birds and the bees," so little jonnys dad sits him down and explains everything about the birds and the bees, you should have seen little jonnys face!!! after the talk jonnys dad says "out of interest jonny what were you watching on your tv all weekend?" jonny replies "wimbledon" he he hope you enjoyed it your photos look wicked so so jelouse!!!! say hi to everyone else and ill be in touch again sorry its taken so long. LOVE you all!!! Little Jonny ps sorry anyone that may have been offended by my joke :-)xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
