Love you really!

Hi Ruth

really enjoying your blog. Your Mum thought my last posting sounded a bit 'gay' (i.e. Dave & I went to Vienna .......). Well, may I say [on the WWW] that I am not & I am happliy married.

SO THERE

Look forward to seeing you (although my holiday starts on the 25th!!)
take care

Hi Ruth from Hostel Ruthensteiner - just thought I would let you knpw that if you do find Mr Michael and start doing careless whisper impressions he might be really freaked because he will off his strudel!

Dave & I went to Vienna - & the Blue Danube was a murky grey...................are they still dumping the 'Hot Love' Ice Creams in it???

take care

Ruth you are making us laugh so much, but you are going to get locked up for not wearing your pjs! I was wondering when ultravox would come into it!
love and miss you

Dear Ruthie

So glad to hear from you after 4 days. We thought maybe starvation had set in but it sounds like you're eating your way through Europe! It's very quiet here without you but reading your blog makes up for it. Love and miss you.

Mum, Dad and Patrick x x x

ps Milka Philadelphia sounds like an abomination!

pps I have been perfecting my pastry skills x

Hi Ruth - I've just put the little google street map man on that bridge you mentioned - that is some bridge - imagine that in the winter, in the dark WITH AN OWL!!!!!!!

Take care SVEN xx
